Contact Jacqueline Wiles BRANCH ORGANISER’S BULLETIN Hello Everyone, I would like to welcome the new members who have just joined the society and hope they enjoy the newsletters and field trips. For those of you who have not renewed and have forgotten, a renewal form can be downloaded from www.ougs.org and sent to [email protected] . This will (I promise) be the last reminder. There has just been a very successful trip to NE Scotland with everyone having a great time. The next trip planned is in September with Dr Andrew McLeish at South Queensferry, and I hope to see some of you there. I am still trying to arrange another couple of trips for later this year, but am having a bit of trouble with dates so far, but E.Scotland have trips in June and August for anyone who wants to get out in the summer. I think I am slowly coming to grips with job as Branch Organiser, and attended my first committee meeting in April. This was very enjoyable, apart from having to get up at 4.30 in the morning, but everyone was very helpful and it was good to put faces to names. A lot of the time I seem to be passing e-mails round but please let me know if you do not want any with attachments as I know that if you do not have broadband (as I don’t) they can take ages to download. The Society is looking for someone to take over as Newsletter Editor later in the year when David Jones’ term ends, so anyone interested should get in touch with him. I hope that you all have a good summer and do not fall too far behind if you’re still studying. Jacqueline And from the Editor........... basement rocks – like Lewisian but where from?? – Hi everyone, Well the summer is moving on and the west (underlying all of Scotland), or the east some of us have been very busy!! The trip to the (Scandian event) or possibly Peru (again!!)?? After north east of Scotland went very well and we had a lunch we headed for Cromarty and Hugh Miller’s really great time. We began in Inverness Hostel on Cottage – fascinating. Saturday night was at the Friday evening where our leader gave us an Evanton, near Invergordon, and then we drove introduction to the geology of the week, and set off north to Golspie where we explored the Triassic on Saturday morning for the Black Isle and and Lower Jurassic conglomerates, sandstones and Cromarty, joined by two ‘local friends’. The mudstones of the shore section, wandering past the morning was spent on Eathie Shore, looking at imposing Dunrobin Castle and through masses of Moine psammites and some rather strange stunning bluebells in its grounds. We found a 1 possible reservoir rock for the Beatrice Oilfield, and an old quarry of Caithness flags and then made our the shale which might cap it, plus loads of fossils – way to the true north and Duncansby Head with its shells, burrows and coal. After lunch in the sun on spectacular stacks. We walked round the coast to the shore we visited the Orcadian Stone Company John o’ Groats, examining the sedimentary rocks, in Golspie to see a magnificent display of and some volcanics, with Orkney and the amazing wonderful rocks, minerals and fossils – truly one of cliffs of Hoy in the distance, and finally drove to the best – and a wee shop to spend money!! Lastly Thurso and our last hostel. we squeezed the bus through a tiny bridge under the railway to see Middle to Upper Jurassic sandstone south of Brora, and then headed for the hostel at Helmsdale. On Monday morning we examined the Portgower Boulder Beds with intervening sandstones, shales and fossils, in the Upper Jurassic. Halfway along, we met Nigel Trewin with a group of ‘professional business’ geologists! A highlight was the ‘Fallen Stack of Portgower’ – a huge chunk of MORS which fell off the submarine Helmsdale Fault scarp in Kimmeridgian times. We lunched at a windy Lothbeg Point and then examined the Kimmeridgian sandstones and shales of the shore section with its ammonites and other fossils, admiring and identifying the local birds. Then it was back to finish the Brora area (we ran On the shore at Sarclet (by Ian Henderson) out of time yesterday!), with another tiny bridge (!), before enjoying tea, ice cream etc in this lovely Thursday began at Dwarick Pier, in the rain, and the little town!! Tuesday, and we were off to try some Upper ORS of Dunnet Head. The beds were about gold panning at Kildonan on a rather a cloudy, 0.5m thick, with erosive bases, and traces of mud damp day. Again we were joined by ‘two other and rip-up clasts. The cross-bedding structures friends’, and had some success in finding tiny indicated a braided river system, flowing to the NE, pieces of the ‘yellow stuff’. After lunch beside the and there were good examples of soft sediment burn, we set off for the Helmsdale shore section – deformation suggesting earthquake activity when more boulder beds (this time Helmsdale) with large the rocks were only partly lithified. Southeast of blocks of ORS and also clasts of MORS flagstones the pier, wave-cut platforms enabled us to examine with a coarse bioclastic matrix, interbedded with the rock more closely. They were deposited as sandstones and shales. As we approached Navidale large alluvial plains at the margin of Lake Orcadie, Bay (in the sunshine), a dramatic seaward plunging with eroded sediment carried by braided rivers from anticlinal closure of the boulder beds was exposed the vast Caledonian Mountains. on the shore. In the distance we could clearly see Dun Glas, where the Helmsdale Fault crosses the shore and leaves the coast. On Wednesday we left Helmsdale and headed north, first to the Camster Cairns, ancient mysterious Neolithic burial mounds, set in a dip in the hills, and probably in use for more than 1000 years. Then to Whaligo Geo, a cove accessed by means of thousands of steps. We drove north to Sarclet, another spectacular cove, with intriguing rocks that were folded and fractured, with low angle dislocations, possibly a result of the nearby junction of the Helmsdale, Great Glen and Wick Faults.

Using the professional influence of one of our party, we obtained entry to a working quarry of Caithness flagstones for a very interesting visit, and lastly arrived at the disused Achanarras quarry, rooting around, with a permit, in the spoil heaps for some of its famous fish. In the evening we met for a group dinner in the Pentland Hotel, where Iain and everyone were thanked for such an enjoyable trip!!

    Geology Around Portencross Castle

    GEOLOGY AROUND About Portencross Castle Portencross has been inhabited for thousands of years. An archaeological dig found evidence of PORTENCROSS an Iron Age settlement on Auldhill, just behind Portencross Castle. The Iron Age lasted from around 800 BC to 100 BC. Portencross Castle was constructed in three phases starting in 1360. It was the home of a branch of the Boyds. The lands around Portencross were given to the Boyds of Kilmarnock by King Robert I CASTLE as reward for their help at the Battle of Bannockburn. A number of Royal Charters were signed at the castle and it had close links with King Robert II during that period. After the 1600s, it was occupied by local fishermen. The roof was destroyed in a gale in January 1739. By the 20th century, the Adams of Auchenames owned the castle. It became a scheduled ancient Sandy’s Creek monument in 1955. Mudstone Friends of Portencross Castle For Teachers The Friends of Portencross Castle (FOPC) produced this leaflet.

  • Caithness County Council

    Caithness County Council

    Caithness County Council RECORDS’ IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference number: CC Alternative reference number: Title: Caithness County Council Dates of creation: 1720-1975 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 10 bays of shelving Format: Mainly paper RECORDS’ CONTEXT Name of creators: Caithness County Council Administrative history: 1889-1930 County Councils were established under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889. They assumed the powers of the Commissioners of Supply, and of Parochial Boards, excluding those in Burghs, under the Public Health Acts. The County Councils also assumed the powers of the County Road Trusts, and as a consequence were obliged to appoint County Road Boards. Powers of the former Police Committees of the Commissioners were transferred to Standing Joint Committees, composed of County Councillors, Commissioners and the Sheriff of the county. They acted as the police committee of the counties - the executive bodies for the administration of police. The Act thus entrusted to the new County Councils most existing local government functions outwith the burghs except the poor law, education, mental health and licensing. Each county was divided into districts administered by a District Committee of County Councillors. Funded directly by the County Councils, the District Committees were responsible for roads, housing, water supply and public health. Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archive 1 Provision was also made for the creation of Special Districts to be responsible for the provision of services including water supply, drainage, lighting and scavenging. 1930-1975 The Local Government Act (Scotland) 1929 abolished the District Committees and Parish Councils and transferred their powers and duties to the County Councils and District Councils (see CC/6).

Digitized by tine Internet Arciiive in 2010 with funding from University of Britisii Columbia Library http://www.archive.org/details/highlandsecondsiOOmacr PREFATORY NOTE. In the Folk-Lore of the Scottish Highlanders there is no chapter more extraordinary or interesting in its way than that which deals with the stories of the Second-Sight—a "gift," notwithstanding the ridicule of the unbelieving, that to the present day, in one or other of its manifestations, is not uncommon among the Highland people. There is no doubt that much of the merely traditional has gathered around the subject, but there still remains so considerable a body of well-authenticated facts that they deserve the closest study of Folk-Lorist and Psycholo- gist alike. As facts, they certainly challenge enquiry and invite elucidation. It is hoped that the following pages will, therefore, prove as helpful to the serious student as, it is believed, they will be welcome to the general reader—not in the light of the superstitious or the merely curious, but as a subject of particular interest in view of present-day res3arch in matters psychological.
