The Old Kiltearn Kirk down at the shore is sl important and integral part of the history and identity of Evan- ton. Together with a team of volunteers, Evanton Community Tlust helped to research the fascinating history and people of the parish in conjunction with ARCH (Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands). The pro- ject recorded over 400 gravestones and lair markers, including a number of 17tn and 18th century gravestones with engraved symbols of mortality. It also involved a building survey which revealed evidence of a much older, medieval structure on the site, pre-dating the current building constructed Ln 1792. An exhibition is cur- rently on display in the Cornerstone Caf6 and a website is to be launched where people can look at all the re- sults of the project, and may help to research into family histories. We will also be installing an information panel, mounted on a naturaL stone plinth, just outside the Kirk yard. A project was began to improve the footpaths from Lower Balconie between the old Bothy on the foreshore and the Old Kiltearn Kirk that were in a state of disrepair. Where heavy rainfall had washed a\May a section of the path and riverbank between Lower Balconie and the footbridge over the River, we have undertaken a series of works including creation of wide and level footpaths, improvements to drainage and riverbank and shoreline reinforcement.

  • Site Name - Foulis Castle Parish - Kiltearn(Ross and Cromarty) Region - Highland
    Site Name - Foulis Castle Parish - Kiltearn(Ross and Cromarty) Region - Highland NGR - NH 58865 63948 NMRS No. - NH56SE 22 Site type/Class - Circular earthwork Recorded by - NOSAS 21.01.06 This site was visited in 1965 and 1976 and was thought unlikely to be a motte on these occasions, but recent removal of rhododendrons has probably revealed its true regular shape to a greater extent. It would appear to be very much a man-made feature and most likely a motte. The site is situated on the south west bank of a small stream, the Burn of Foulis, within a wooded dell, 150m west of Foulis Castle. The old “coach road” passes close by and formerly continued round the northwest side of the Castle. The road was re-aligned to its present position about 200 years ago. The general area is southeast facing and slopes gently to the Cromarty Firth. It is farmed on an intensive scale. 200m to the southwest of the site and also on the line of the old road there are the overgrown and much wasted remains of a chapel NMRS No The circular earthwork is at a point where the stream bends away to the northeast and then back to enclose a flat area at the foot of the earthwork. The removal of the rhododendrons also revealed an alignment of large boulders around the base of the earthwork. These are thought not to be contemporary with the occupation and use of the earthwork. Description The earthwork is a roughly circular, flat topped mound measuring c.32m at its base.

  • Interdisciplinary Project Proposal
    Place-names of Ferindonald (Easter Ross) - A window into the past An Interdisciplinary Project. Scottish Cultural Studies Degree Course. Orkney College, UHI. Adrian Clark ~ June 2011 1 Contents Page: 3 OVERVIEW METHODOLOGY INTRODUCTION 4 THE ANALYSIS OF PLACE-NAMES (AINMEAN ÀITE) 5 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 11 SCHOOL VISIT 13 SIX NAMES OF FERINDONALD Pelaig Katewell Balconie Swordale Cnoc a’ Mhargadaidh and Knockmartin Fyrish 23 CONCLUSION 24 Appendices 30 References 2 Overview An interdisciplinary study of selected place-names in one area of Easter Ross to investigate their Pictish, Norse, Gaelic and English origins/connections, their changes and modifications over time, and their links with evidence from material and folk culture. The study aims to show how careful study of local place-names can be a powerful way of illustrating local history. Methodology Collation and tabulation of local place-names; analysis and classification Reference to the local archaeological record Examination of local folklore and history Selection of 6 place-names for in-depth study Interviews with residents: pronunciation, understanding and other information Site visits and project diary Participation in ARCH Route-ways project in Evanton: Map study Interactive quiz and discussion with P7 pupils at Kiltearn Primary School Introduction In discussing the phenomenology of landscape, Christopher Tilley reminds us that a sense of attachment to place is frequently derived from the stability of meanings associated with it (Tilley 1994). Place is both "internal" and "external" to the human subject, a personally embedded centre of meanings and a physical locus for action. The naming and identification of topographical features is crucial for the establishment and maintenance of their identity.

Introduction This Register is intended to record details of the occurrence of rare plants in Vice County 106, Easter Ross. It has been produced as part of a national initiative based on the Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI) vice-county system. Two main uses are envisaged for the Register. Firstly to indicate and provide information on those species at risk and requiring protection; secondly, to provide a baseline in order that as detailed surveying increases over the Vice County, changes in the occurrence and distribution over time of these plants can be acscertained. Easter Ross has a variety of habitats.
