  • 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).

    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015

    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation.

    Mapping farmland wader distributions and population change to identify wader priority areas for conservation and management action Scott Newey1*, Debbie Fielding1, and Mark Wilson2 1. The James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen, AB15 8QH 2. The British Trust for Ornithology Scotland, Stirling, FK9 4NF * [email protected] Introduction Many birds have declined across Scotland and the UK as a whole (Balmer et al. 2013, Eaton et al. 2015, Foster et al. 2013, Harris et al. 2017). These include five species of farmland wader; oystercatcher, lapwing, curlew, redshank and snipe. All of these have all been listed as either red or amber species on the UK list of birds of conservation concern (Harris et al. 2017, Eaton et al. 2015). Between 1995 and 2016 both lapwing and curlew declined by more than 40% in the UK (Harris et al. 2017). The UK harbours an estimated 19-27% of the curlew’s global breeding population, and the curlew is arguably the most pressing bird conservation challenge in the UK (Brown et al. 2015). However, the causes of wader declines likely include habitat loss, alteration and homogenisation (associated strongly with agricultural intensification), and predation by generalist predators (Brown et al. 2015, van der Wal & Palmer 2008, Ainsworth et al. 2016). There has been a concerted effort to reverse wader declines through habitat management, wader sensitive farming practices and predator control, all of which are likely to benefit waders at the local scale. However, the extent and severity of wader population declines means that large scale, landscape level, collaborative actions are needed if these trends are to be halted or reversed across much of these species’ current (and former) ranges.

    North Highland Sg Walk

    SCOTLAND – THE NORTHERN HIGHLAND WAY 9-day / 8-night SELF-GUIDED inn-to-inn walk - the far north of Scotland with John O’ Groats & Orkney Scotland’s Northern Highland Way is a moderate walk on the wild side, taking you through some of the most scenic and remote landscapes in the far north of Scotland. This 120km trail begins in Thurso, the northernmost town on the British mainland, and allows you to take in stunning yet extreme backdrops from white sandy beaches to awe inspiring coastal cliffs, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the North Sea. This is your opportunity to see a wide variety of wildlife including magnificent puffin bird colonies; to walk to the iconic Cape Wrath, named by the Vikings as the Norse for “turning point” and to visit the lighthouse built there in 1828. This is your chance to see the fascinating and historical Orkney Islands, to visit the picturesque harbour at Scrabster and to walk across the golden sand beaches at Torrisdale Bay. Stay in welcoming B&Bs, inns and guesthouses where walkers are well looked after, with a hearty Scottish breakfast each morning perhaps including a traditional porridge, tattie scones, black pudding square and sausage, all local fare. Carry only a daypack as your luggage is transferred for you. Accommodation on the Northern Highland Way is in high demand and is limited especially in the small villages along the way. Early booking is essential especially if you plan to travel in the popular months of May or September.

December 2020 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Castletown School Brochure. We hope it will help you to become familiar with procedures and practices in our school. It is our hope that this working document will be a source of information for both current and prospective new parents of Castletown Primary School. We welcome comments and suggestions for improvement to our brochure at any time throughout the school year. It is available online at https://castletownprimary.wordpress.com and also on the Highland Council website, however if you would prefer this in as a paper copy please contact the school office. The brochure cannot hope to cover all questions you may have, especially those of a day-to-day nature, therefore we welcome visits by parents. Liaison between home and school is essential at all times to ensure we work together to achieve the full potential of your child.
