Best wishes to all F.P.s for 2013 and thank you for your donations. Look forward to as many as possible attending the Biennial Dinner. Margaret Masson COMMITTEE President – Mrs Irene Carson Honorary President – Mr Billy Templeton Chairman – Mr Sandy McCook Mrs Betty Grant, Mrs Shirley Findlay, Mr Stewart Grant, Mr Walter Dempster, Mr Ian Masson, Mrs Janet Flannery, Mrs Seonaid Vickerman, Mrs Daphne Ritchie and Mrs Margaret Masson MINUTES OF COMMITTEE MEETING HELD IN THE STAFFROOM ON 26 NOVEMBER 2012 Present: Mrs Irene Carson, Mr Sandy McCook, Mrs Margaret Masson, Mrs Daphne Ritchie, Mrs Betty Grant, Messrs Ian Masson, Stewart Grant and Walter Dempster Apologies: Mrs Shirley Findlay, Mrs Janet Flannery and Mr Billy Templeton The Chairman, Mr McCook, opened the meeting and welcomed all those attending. Minutes of the last meeting were read by Mrs Masson. Matters arising from the minutes were based around the future of the Club. How can we raise interest with (and therefore income from) present and past pupils? Input in the magazine from present pupils and inviting House Captains or School Captains to attend the Biennial Dinner were suggested. A Facebook page was also suggested but it was decided that we wouldn't go down that way, but a link to an FP section on the school website was possible. The Committee heard that one of our members, Ms Liza Stuart, spent last winter scanning all the old School and Former Pupils‟ Club magazines and these will be available as PDF files in the future.

  • Dulnain Bridge and Nethy Bridge the Map on the Opposite Page Shows the Proposed Core Paths Network for the Area Around Dulnain Bridge, Skye of Curr and Nethy Bridge
    Map 18 Dulnain Bridge and Nethy Bridge The map on the opposite page shows the proposed core paths network for the area around Dulnain Bridge, Skye of Curr and Nethy Bridge. The paths proposed within this area have been chosen as they best fit with the objectives of the Core Paths Plan. The Outdoor Access Strategy13 identifies a need to develop better networks around communities: both Dulnain Bridge and Skye of Curr having at present no promoted paths. Proposed core paths LBS95, LBS97 and LBS99 should go a long way towards catering for this as well as providing opportunities for a range of abilities and activities. These routes provide links to places of interest such as the Roche Moutonnees, the River Dulnain and Spey and Skye of Curr Woods. Paths selected here will also help land managers better manage access with their ongoing land management operations. There are good links between Nethy Bridge and Dulnain Bridge as well as to Grantown-on-Spey and Boat of Garten on the Speyside Way (LBS116) and to other areas in the Park such as Glenmore via the Ryvoan Pass (LBS127). Many of the paths selected have been put in place and are cared for by Explore Abernethy, with the support of local land owners and businesses. A number of paths in the area cater for a range of activities and a range of abilities, for example parts of LBS87 is popular for cyclists and is suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. The woods around Nethy Bridge are particularly important for visitors and residents and the proposed core paths help people to enjoy the cultural heritage of the area, for example at the old mill.

  • The Beum A' Chlaidheimh Breach and the Dulnain-Findhorn Divide
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NERC Open Research Archive The Beum a’ Chlaidheimh Breach and the Dulnain-Findhorn divide. Jon Merritt The localities described in this section are pertinent to understanding the regional history of glaciation and deglaciation (Merritt et al., 2017). The landscape may be viewed from various passing places along the B9007 road linking Duthill and Lochindorb, but longer walks are recommended across rough ground to see specific features to the west and east of the highest section of the road at the Beum a’ Chlaidheimh (cleft of the sword) [NH 937 305] (Fig. 124) (BGS, 2013). Last Glacial Maximum. It is now believed that the entire region was submerged beneath ice during the LGM judging by evidence of lee-side joint-block removal, glacially transported tor blocks and stripping of blockfields at elevations of up to 1200 m in the Cairngorms (Hall and Glasser, 2003; Phillips et al., 2006). A powerful topographically-controlled ice stream sourced in the western Grampian Highlands was centred on Upper Strathspey (Hall and Sugden, 1987; Merritt et al., 2013), as evidenced by severely ice-plucked rocks on the western valley flanks overlooking Newtonmore and Kingussie, extensive blankets of till on the valley-sides and mega-roche moutonnée features such as Creagan a’ Choin (Fig. 125) and Ordan Shios [NN 715 969], 3 km south of Newtonmore. These particular features, which are clearly visible to the east of the A9 trunk road, appear to have tails of sediment stretching south-westwards in the former up-ice direction and are commonly mistaken for crag-and-tails.
