General Register House National Records of Scotland General Register House
GENERAL REGISTER HOUSE NATIONAL RECORDS OF SCOTLAND GENERAL REGISTER HOUSE ‘A PROPER REPOSITORY’ General Register House was begun in 1774 to the designs of Robert Adam (1728-1792), a Scot who was one of Britain’s greatest architects. It is not only one of his finest public buildings, but also the first purpose-built public record repository in the British Isles. In fact it may be the oldest archive building in the world that is still being used for its original function. A proper home for Scotland’s public records was first proposed in 1722, after the Treaty of Union of 1707 guaranteed that the national records would remain in Scotland. However, for much of the eighteenth century Scotland’s national archives were housed in unsuitable accommodation in Parliament House and other nearby buildings. Eventually, in 1765 a government grant of £12,000 was made available from the forfeited Jacobite estates for the building of ‘a proper repository’. The Register House Trustees only reached agreement on a site when the City gifted the necessary land at the north end of the new North Bridge in 1769. NATIONAL RECORDS OF SCOTLAND ADAM’S DESIGN Largely through the influence of Lord Frederick Campbell, the Lord Clerk Register, Robert Adam and his younger brother James, were appointed architects of Register House in 1772. The Adam brothers believed that you could judge a society by the quality and grandeur of its public buildings, and this commission provided an opportunity to put their beliefs into practice. While the building’s design went through several stages, the main elements of the principal façade and the centralised plan, consisting of a domed rotunda within a quadrangle, were present from the beginning. -

BELL MOUNT HOUSE Dalguise, Dunkeld, Perthshire, Ph8 0Ju BELL MOUNT HOUSE Dalguise, Dunkeld, Perthshire, Ph8 0Ju
BELL MOUNT HOUSE Dalguise, DunkelD, Perthshire, Ph8 0Ju BELL MOUNT HOUSE Dalguise, DunkelD, Perthshire, Ph8 0Ju Contemporary country home with beautiful gardens, orchard and woodland extending to 6.2 acres. Dunkeld 5 miles, Aberfeldy 13 miles, Perth 19 miles (all distances are approximate) = Sitting room, dining room, kitchen / breakfast room, cloakroom, utility room and boot room 4 bedrooms (1 en suite) and family bathroom Double garage with games room above Summerhouse Well stocked garden, vegetable garden, orchard and woodland. EPC = D About 6.2 acres in all Savills Perth Earn House Broxden Business Park Lamberkine Drive Perth PH1 1RA [email protected] SITUATION Dalguise is a pretty hamlet on the west side of the River Tay just 5 miles north of Dunkeld. The closest amenities to Bell Mount House are in Birnam and Dunkeld which include a medical centre, dentist, post office, bank, grocery stores, and a number of independent shops, cafés, popular bars and hotels. Perth, about 18 miles south of Birnam, has a more comprehensive range of shops and professional services and is in a pivotal position with road and rail connections to all the major cities of central Scotland. Dunkeld & Birnam railway station is on the north side of the A9 with regular services north and south. To the north, the popular village of Aberfeldy provides a further range of amenities and schooling. Bell Mount House could not be better placed for those who enjoy the outdoors. The River Tay, the Pass of Killiecrankie, Dunkeld Cathedral and the ancient woodlands of the Hermitage are all nearby and only a little further afield hills such as Ben Vrackie, Schiehallion and Ben Lawers as well as lochs Tummel and Tay offer wonderful opportunities for walking, field sports and water sports. -
Highland Perthshire Through the Archive
A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide. -

PREFATORY NOTE. This volume completes the Index to this Commissariot, so far as it is proposed by the Society to print the same. It includes all Testaments recorded before 31st December 1800. The remainder of the Record down to 31st December 1829 is in the General Register House, but from that date to the present day it will be found at the Commissary Office. The Register for the Eighteenth Century shows a considerable falling away in the number of Testaments recorded, due to some extent to the Local Registers being more taken advantage of On the other hand, a number of Testaments of Scotsmen dying in England, the Colonies, and abroad are to be found. The Register for the years following on the Union of the Parliaments is one of melancholy interest, containing as it does, to a certain extent, the death-roll of the ill-fated Darien Expedition.

Archive Research Guides (4)
Archive Research Guides (4) Research Guide: Tracing your ancestor’s military records Tracing your ancestor’s military career is often a powerful experience. Through your research, you may be able to glimpse what life could have been like for an individual during a time of great upheaval and unrest. Muster rolls, service records, maps and plans all help to build a clearer picture. This document covers the main areas you might be interested in and the resources which are available at the John Gray Centre, in the National Records of Scotland and online. Staff are happy to help with your research needs and suggest other resources which might help you. Have a look also at our blog ‘Grandpa served in WWI – how to trace a WWI ancestor’. Scottish soldiers before 1603 Unfortunately, no lists appear to have survived from the time of the Scottish Wars of Independence 1296– 1329 and the Anglo–Scottish conflicts between the 1340s and 1603. Scottish soldiers 1603–1707 The National Records of Scotland (NRS) in Edinburgh holds muster rolls arranged by regiment and company or troop. Most of these date from after 1680, although some do exist from 1641. These list all the officers and men in a troop or company at a certain place and date. Their rank is also given. It is much easier to do this if you know the regiment which they belonged to. If your ancestor was an officer from 1670, it should be simpler to trace them. They may be listed in the warrant books of the Secretary for Scotland, held by the NRS. -

Colin Ross, Blair Atholl and Struan Community Council
RURAL ECOMOMY AND CONNECTIVTY COMMITTEE DRAFT BUDGET 2017-18; BROADBAND SUBMISSION FROM COLIN ROSS This submission describes: • practical effects of poor connectivity on local people, businesses and visitors • exclusion of families, keen to live here, from activities taken to be normal elsewhere • loss of productivity for small businesses and the tourism industry • political and organisational failure to deliver a proven technical solution in the area • inhibition on real progress caused by contractual arrangements with BT • broadband as a key element in a sustainable future for rural communities I write as Chair of Blair Atholl and Struan Community Council. Our community sits at the geometric centre of Scotland, astride one of Scotland’s principal road and rail arteries, yet many of us receive broadband signal strengths that, at often less than 0.5Mbps, are totally inadequate to meet either the demands of external information sources or our reasonable expectations to communicate effectively. We are part of a major tourist area with attractions as diverse as Blair Castle and the House of Bruar yet visitors must lose their accustomed connectivity as the price of their stay with us and the hotels and boarding houses they wish to stay in struggle to present the fast, comprehensive on- line offer that is expected.. It is not possible to open or interact with some websites, downloading large documents is absurdly time consuming (and, therefore, costly for business) and data streaming belongs in dreamland. Simple tasks such as upgrading the operating system of a mobile phone can require a ninety mile round trip to Perth. New small businesses do start up here, as a welcome counterweight to relentless population decline.
