Investigate Inverness Shire

September 25, 2008

Inverness-shire or the County of Inverness (Siorrachd Inbhir Nis in Gaelic) is one of the registration counties of Scotland. Until 1975 it was a local government county.

The registration county is made up of the historic districts of Inverness (without Nairn), parts of Lochaber and Badenoch. The Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, established a uniform system of county councils and burgh councils in Scotland and restructured many of Scotland’s counties.

The former county covered a large mainland area and various island areas off the west coast. The mainland area had coastline in both the east and the west and included the towns of Kingussie, Fort William and Mallaig. The island areas included North Uist, South Uist, and Harris in the Outer Hebrides, and Skye and Eigg in the Small Isles in the Inner Hebrides. Until 1891 the mainland area was somewhat fragmented (but much less so than some other county areas in Scotland). In that year changes were made following recommendations of the boundary commissioners appointed under the 1889 Act. From 1891 onwards Inverness-shire had neighbouring counties as follow: Ross and Cromarty to the north, Nairnshire, Moray, Banffshire and Aberdeenshire to the east, and Perthshire and Argyll to the south. The county town was Inverness.

Today the former county area is divided between the unitary council areas of Highland, Na h-Eileanan Siar (the Western Isles) and Moray.

In 1972, the Isle of Rockall Act was passed, formally incorporating the tiny island of Rockall into Scotland as part of the Isle of Harris, Inverness-shire (Harris is not part of the modern registration county).

Local Area

Liverpool is a world city which is famous all over the world.  It has an instantly recognisable waterfront, a unique accent, and famous sons and daughters.

Based in the heart of North-West England, Liverpool is also the most famous place in Britain to go for a day trip, according to the National Tourist Board.

The waterfront area attracts millions of visitors each year.  They come to see the rejuvenated Albert Dock, home to the Tate Gallery and Maritime Museum; and to take a trip on the famous Mersey Ferry.

The city centre is packed with magnificent buildings and splendid architecture including St George’s Hall; Liverpool Museum; Walker Art Gallery; and its two cathedrals – the Anglican Cathedral and Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King.

A range of theatres offer first class productions to rival London’s West End.  And many tourists just come to Liverpool for its exciting nightlife.

Liverpool is a major shopping centre for the area.  In recent years, new and exciting retailers have muscled in to take advantage of Merseysiders’ spending power.  GAP and Vivienne Westwood joined clothes store Zara as newcomers in 2004.  More recently, Flannels, Armani and MAC arrived in the new Met Centre which opened in February 2006.

Also, the much anticipated Paradise Project is now on site.  It will provide new department stores that will house, amongst others, a new John Lewis and Debenhams.  The site will also see two new hotels, a gallery, new bus station, public park, cinema and parking for 3000 vehicles.  This massive building scheme, one of the largest in Europe, will be completed by early 2008.

The city centre has a wide choice of cafes, bars, pubs and clubs.  Mathew Street, the home of the Cavern Club, still attracts thousands of Beatles fans from all over the world.

The city is alive with musicians, poets, writers, artists, painters, sculptors, designers and architects.  Together, these all help to boost our image as a European City of Culture.

Our four universities (University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool Hope University and the new Edge Hill University) are providing our citizens with new talents and skills.

Liverpool is also a serious sporting city.  Liverpool and Everton football clubs are known all over the world.  The world’s most famous horse race, the Grand National is held immediately adjacent to the city boundary at Aintree Racecourse but remains forever linked to the city.


Whizz Around Wiltshire

September 11, 2008

Wiltshire has played a significant role in the history of Wessex. Wilton, near Salisbury, was once the “heade town of Wessex and Wileshire” and it is said that the county originally grew out of Wilton. The nearby village of Old Sarum has also played a significant role in the county’s history, being popular with both the Saxons and the Normans. It was also the site of the original Cathedral in the southern part of Wiltshire, preceeding Salisbury Cathedral.

The county has been host to a number of notable battles, including Alfred`s defeat of the Danes at Ethandune where despite tremendous odds and a seamingly impregnable hill-fort, he used all his guile and cunning to win a famous victory. The civil war battle of Roundway Hill near Devizes also figures prominantly in our ‘warrior’ history.

In more recent times, the county, especially Trowbridge in the west, was renowned the world over for its quality woollen products. Alas, all mills are now confined to memory and text, although Trowbridge now hosts a museum where details of this aspect of the county’s past can be explored.

Swindon, which means ‘pig hill’ to the north, was once the centre of Brunel’s Great Western Railway and until quite modern times produced trains and rolling stock for British Railways. Sadly, this trade has also been lost but Swindon now boasts a number of hi-tech industries and the GWR name lives on, albeit in the form of an extremely popular commercial radio station.

Local Area

Atherton is a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, England.

Built on and around seven brooks, it has an industrial past with a history of coal mining, cotton milling, and nail manufacture.

The town’s population according to the 2001 census was 19,859.

Manchester is a city and metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester, England. Manchester was granted city status in 1853.

It has a population of 458,100,and lies at the centre of the wider Greater Manchester Urban Area, which has a population of 2,240,230, the United Kingdom’s third largest conurbation.

Manchester has the second largest urban zone in the UK and the fourteenth most populated in Europe.

Forming part of the English Core Cities Group, often described as the second city of the UK, and the “Capital of the North”, Manchester today is a centre of the arts, the media, higher education and commerce.

In a poll of British business leaders published in 2006, Manchester was regarded as the best place in the UK to locate a business.

A report commissioned by Manchester Partnership, published in 2007, showed Manchester to be the “fastest-growing city” economically.

It is the third most visited city in the United Kingdom by foreign visitors.

Manchester was the host of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and among its other sporting connections are its two Premier League football teams, Manchester United and Manchester City.

Historically, most of the city was a part of Lancashire, with areas south of the River Mersey being in Cheshire.

Manchester was the world’s first industrialised city and played a central role during the Industrial Revolution.

It was the dominant international centre of textile manufacture and cotton spinning.

During the 19th century it acquired the nickname Cottonopolis, suggesting it was a metropolis of cotton mills.

Manchester City Centre is now on a tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, mainly due to the network of canals and mills constructed during its 19th-century development.
