  • The Fungle Road
    Birse Community Trust THE FUNGLE ROAD Historical Notes about the Fungle in Birse Parish Robin Callander March 2021 THE FUNGLE ROAD Historical Notes about the Fungle in Birse Parish Introduction The purpose of this paper is to provide some background notes about the history and significance of the Fungle road in Birse parish. The Fungle is the name of the ancient route between the river crossing over the Dee at Aboyne in the north and Cairncross on Tarfside in Glen Esk to the south. This is a distance of around 21 km. The Fungle follows a natural north/south route through the hills and is one of the historic mounth (or moorland) passes through the Grampians that have been used by travellers for thousands of years. The pass where the route crosses the watershed between Deeside and Glen Esk is known as the Slochd.1 The watershed was the boundary between the counties of Angus and Aberdeenshire for many centuries and continues to be the boundary between those two local authority areas. The majority of the length of the Fungle is to the north of the watershed in Birse parish. The distances are approximately 7.4 km from Cairncross to the watershed into the Forest of Birse, 8.1 km from there to the northern boundary of the Forest of Birse at the Black Moss, and 5.7 km from there down beside the Allt Dinnie burn to the bridge over the River Dee at Aboyne. The first part of this paper is a sequence of notes on what is known about the history of the Fungle during past centuries and more recent times.

  • The River Dee Annual Report 2012
    the river dee annual report 2012 Dee District Salmon Fishery Board The River Dee Trust Dee District Salmon Fishery Board The River is administered by the Dee District Salmon Fishery Board, a statutory body tasked with protecting and enhancing chairman’s report stocks of salmon and sea trout across the district, encompassing the Rivers Dee, Cowie and Carron. 2012 was a year of considerable progress for both the River Dee Board and Trust. Our season got off to a grand start with the official opening ceremony conducted in great style by the actor, writer and avid angler Paul Whitehouse. These launch celebrations serve to endorse the importance of the Dee Fishery to the sometimes fragile rural economy of the catchment. Over 250 folk from many walks of life, joined together at Potarch to signify their recognition of the value of the river and angling to the area. William Banks Victor Beamish Simon Blackett William Boyd-Wallis Jamie Burnett Gavin Clark Robert Dey In the spring, we received confirmation that approval from Scottish Government of the Board’s application to formally extend the fishing season by two weeks to October 15th had been granted. This approval acknowledges that salmon are arriving later, and assisted by the invaluable research carried out by the Dee Trust, meant that proprietors were able to extend the sporting season without damage to later running fish. Spring also saw the Dee Trust venture to London to deliver one of its most ambitious fund Richard Gledson Alastair Hume Edward Humphrey David MacDonald Linda Mathieson Ian Scott Samantha Fleming Vice Chairman Clerk to the Chairman raising activities to date.
