  • Date: Issue: Braemar – Additional/Alternative Housing Land at Braemar, Corriemulzie and Inverey Objector(S): the Proprietors O
    Date: Issue: Braemar – Additional /Alternative Housing Land at Braemar, Corriemulzie and Inverey Objector(s): The Proprietors of Mar Centre Objection ref(s): 394a Reporter Mr Hugh Begg Procedure Informal Hearing 1.0 Overview 1.1 This statement sets out the CNPA’s respon se to objections raised by The Proprietors of Mar Centre. The objections promote the inclusion of additional housing land at Braemar . The settlement boundary for Braemar should be flexible. The objections also suggest that developme nt opportunities exist at Corriemulzie and Inverey. This statement advises that the issue of additional allocations was not raised at the Deposit stage and that sites allocated in Braemar relate to existing allocated sites in the adopted Aberdeenshire L ocal Plan, where planning permissions exist or have Planning Committee approval. N o further allocations are justified in terms of the current housing needs established for Braemar. Other policies in the CNP Local Plan will be used to assess any forthcomi ng housing proposals for other sites in the area includin g Corriemulzie and Inverey. This statement does not recommend any further modification s. 2.0 Provision of Local Plan 2.1 The Cairngorms National Park Local Plan (Deposit) July 2007 (C D6.11 ) identifie d three housing sites within the Braemar settlement envelope – BM/H1, H2 and H3 . The 1 st Modifications May 2008 (C DP6.12 ) following objections, removed H3. However H1 and H2 were retained. The 2nd Modifications October 2008 (C D6.13 ) maintains this posi tion and includes the 12 no. house development at the Invercauld Farm site. Corriemulzie and Inverey are not identified as strategic, intermediate or rural settlements (see Paragraph 5.52, Page 45).

  • FINALISED Area Profile 2015
    Duffus, Moray Area profile Duffus (Scottish Gaelic: Dubhais) is a village in Moray to the north-west of Elgin. The Duffus name has undergone a variety of spelling changes through the years; in 1290, "Dufhus", and in 1512, "Duffous". The name is possibly a compilation of two Gaelic words, dubh and uisg, meaning "darkwater" or "blackwater". The current village is a grid plan village established as a planned settlement in 1811, replacing an earlier medieval settlement which lay 0.25 miles to the east, of which only the ruined Old Parish Church remains. Nearby are the remains of Duffus Castle, St. Peters' Kirk, and Spynie Palace. © Crown Copyright 2016 Also nearby is Gordonstoun School which is a co-educational independent (public) school where three generations of British royalty have been educated including the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales.

    THE MARQUIS OF HUNTLY, “COBBIE” AND “THE KING OF FORGUE” 1800s ames Allardes had inherited Boynsmill Estate in 1800, but by 1802 was living at J Cobairdy, where, although only the tenant of John Morison of Auchintoul, he lived very much the lifestyle of a laird and acquired the sobriquet of “Cobbie” as a result. One of his neighbouring landowners was the Duke of Gordon, and both men knew each other and had mutual dealings, especially when it came to improving the estate boundaries between lands at Kinnoir and Cobairdy. Aberdeen Journal 24 February 1802 The Duke’s son and heir, George, Marquis of Huntly at this time lived at Huntly Lodge, and oversaw the running of his father’s estates in the Huntly area, and became closely acquainted with James Allardes and also with Alexander Shand, in Conland. The outcome of these friendships was that these two prominent men of Forgue society were regular guests of the Marquis at his lavish parties.

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 111, 2015
    246 The Mar Estate Editor's note: Graham Ewen, the late Honorary President of the Club, has written 9 articles for the Journal on the history of the Mar Estate. This is the final one, on the Corriemulzie Estate. After he started to write this article he became ill and died, but his long-time collaborator on the research of the Duff House Papers, Eddie Martin, has undertaken the task of completing the article. Corriemulzie Eddie Martin and Graham Ewen The precise boundaries of the Corriemulzie Estate are difficult to identify beyond the fact that they were located on the road from Braemar to Inverey, bounded by Auchendryne Estate to the east and Inverey Estate to the west. In a Charter dated 28 September 1632, granted by John, Earl of Mar to an Alister Mackenzie, it is described as the town and lands of Corriemulzie, with the pendicle called Wester Arderg extending to four oxgates, the town and lands of Craggan extending to two oxgates and the shielings of Reflinchwood, Inveraltlat and Corronraw which were probably on the east side of Glen Ey. An oxgate varies in area and averages about 13 acres. The southern march was probably the ridge of Creag an Fhithich or, using the archaic phrase for a ridge, 'where wind and weather shears'. The northern march of the Estate is even more difficult to define as Craggan is on the north side of the river Dee and one would have expected the river itself to be the natural boundary, (Fig. 1). After much litigation between Farquharson of Inverey, who now owned Corriemulzie, and the Earl of Fife, who now owned the Mackenzie of Dalmore Estate, Craggan was ceded to Thethe Earl followin Cairngormg an exchange of grazing right Clubs and the river became the northern march.

ISBN - 1-899098-05-4 Acknowledgements Denis Crampton for enduring several discussions in which the concept of this book was developed. Also Duncan Hornby for information on Dorset’s Old Harry stacks and Mick Fowler for much help with some of his southern and northern stack attacks. Mike Vetterlein contributed indirectly as have Rick Cummins of Rock Addiction, Rab Anderson and Bruce Kerr. Andy Long from Lerwick, Shetland. has contributed directly with a lot of the hard information about Shetland. Thanks are also due to Margaret of the Alpine Club library for assistance in looking up old journals. In late 1996 Ben Linton, Ed Lynch-Bell and Ian Brodrick undertook the mammoth scanning and OCR exercise needed to transfer the paper text back into computer form after the original electronic version was lost in a disk crash. This was done in order to create a world-wide web version of the guide. Mike Caine of the Manx Fell and Rock Club then helped with route information from his Manx climbing web site.
