  • 2. Remembering Strathpeffer.Pdf
    Remembering the Strathpeffer Area: 2. Strathpeffer Photo © Margaret Spark Photo ©Margaret Spark During 2015 people gathered at Strathpeffer Community Centre and Achterneed Hall to remember the physical remains of the Strathpeffer area – Jamestown, Strathpeffer, the Heights, Achterneed and Milnain – focussing on buildings, sites, or monuments which were new, modified or no longer there. They built on previous sessions which had begun to look at Strathpeffer. Using old maps, photographs (some more than a century old), various printed sources, and memories spanning over 80 years, information about over 350 sites was gathered. Some pupils from the school joined us as well for Strathpeffer sessionsas part of their project investigating World War II. This report summarises the results of the meetings focussing on Strathpeffer, including Kinellan. The details have also been forwarded to heritage databases: the Highland Council Historic Environment Record (HER) (her.highland.gov.uk) and Historic Environment Scotland’s Canmore (canmore.org.uk) where they will provide valuable new information about the heritage of the area. The 2015 sessions were part of a project organised by ARCH and Strathpeffer Community Centre, and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Mackenzie New York Villa Trust. Funding for the smaller projects in previous years was provided by Generations Working Together and High Life Highland. Thanks also to the Highland Museum of Childhood for allowing us to see text panels from their 2009 ‘Hands Across the Sea’ exhibition. But most of all thanks to everyone who has shared their memories and photographs, often braving difficult weather. Any additions or corrections should be sent to ARCH at [email protected] or The Goods Shed, The Old Station, Strathpeffer, IV14 9DH.

  • Scottish Hill Runners Junior Hill Running Race Calendar 2020
    Scottish Hill Runners Junior Hill Running Race Calendar 2020 Photo by Andy Stark What is Hill Running? “Hill running” is basically running in hilly terrain, often in the more beautiful parts of the countryside. It’s a fun sport, gets you fit and takes you to some great places! Most races for juniors are simply to the top of a hill and back down, usually by the same route. They almost always follow marked routes, but it’s still a good idea to familiarise yourself with the route beforehand and take along a map of the route as well. There are hill races throughout the year, but the main season runs from May to September. What kit do you need? Well, for most races the same running kit you would have for a cross country race will be fine. Your shoes should have good grip, and it may be worthwhile investing in some specialist studded hill running shoes. You should also bring along waterproof top and bottoms, a compass and a whistle (and something to carry them in, ideally a “bum bag”), in case the race organiser asks you to carry some or all of these, though normally you won’t have to. Junior age limits Many shorter races are suitable for juniors or have separate courses for juniors. It is important to note that, for the benefit of juniors - and especially to protect their growing bodies from undue stress – there is a UK Athletics Rule that specifies the maximum length of course that juniors are permitted to race: Under 8 – 1 km Under 10 – 2 km Under 12 – 3 km Under 14 – 5 km Under 16 – 7 km Under 18 – 10 km (NB: Age groups are defined by the runner’s age on the day of the race) In addition, there may be courses where the race organisers set more restrictive age limits – for example where there is a lot of climb or rough terrain.
