  • 1696 Hearth Tax, Aberdeenshire Residents
    1696 Poll Tax List for the North East of Scotland In the latter part of the 17th century, the Scottish economy was in poor shape. Among several unpopular taxes introduced during this period was the Poll Tax that imposed a tax on every person over 16 (14?) years of age and not a beggar. The list of persons in Aberdeenshire is supposedly the only complete county list in existence, and enumerates some 30,000 persons, although less than 100 of these are Brebner/Bremner individuals. I have transcribed the Brebner/Bremner and all variant spellings from the indexes published by the late Archie Strath Maxwell and found in the main public library in Aberdeen. The Aberdeen and NE Scotland Family History Society (ANESFHS) has a series of full transcriptions of many of the Aberdeenshire parishes available for purchase, and I would recommend these to anyone who has traced their ancestors back to this early period. Many of the 1696 parishes had different names and boundaries than their 19th century counterparts, although farm names are often continued through the centuries. In looking through the Brebner/Bremner entries for Aberdeenshire, I found it most interesting that some parishes in which the families were well represented in the 18th and 19th centuries had no entries in 1696. This suggests that the founding members of those families came from other parts of Aberdeenshire, or indeed from other parts of Scotland. Trying to match individuals in this population poll with corresponding births or christenings is hampered by the lack of Old Parish Registers for many of the under-mentioned parishes during that early time.

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • Ronnie's Cabs
    transport guide FOREWORD The Moray Forum is a constituted voluntary organisation that was established to provide a direct link between the Area Forums and the Moray Community Planning Partnership. The Forum is made up of two representatives of each of the Area Forums and meets on a regular basis. Further information about The Moray Forum is available on: www.yourmoray.org.uk Area Forums are recognised by the Moray Community Planning Partnership as an important means of engaging local people in the Community Planning process. In rural areas - such as Moray - transport is a major consideration, so in September 2011 the Moray Forum held its first transport seminar to look at the issues and concerns that affect our local communities in respect of access to transport. Two actions that came from that event was the establishment of a Passenger Forum and a Transport Providers Network. This work was taken forward by the Moray Forum Transport Working Group made up of representatives of the Area Forums, Moray Council, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY, and community transport schemes. In September 2013 the Working Group repeated the seminar to see how much progress had been made on the actions and issues identified in 2011. As a direct result of the work of the Group this Directory has been produced in order to address an on-going concern that has been expressed of the lack of information on what transport is available in Moray, the criteria for accessing certain transport services, and where to go for further advice. The Moray Forum Transport Working Group would like to acknowledge the help of all the people who provided information for this Directory, and thereby made a contribution towards the integration of public, private and community transport services within Moray.

GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold, PhD. The interpretation of prehistoric iconography is complicated by the tendency to project contemporary male/female gender dichotomies into the past. Pictish monumental stone sculpture in Scotland has been studied over the last 100 years. Traditionally, mirror and comb symbols found on some stones produced in Scotland between AD 400 and AD 900 have been interpreted as being associated exclusively with women and/or the female gender. This thesis re-examines this assumption in light of more recent work to offer a new interpretation of Pictish mirror and comb symbols and to suggest a larger context for their possible meaning.
