The Association for the Preservation of Rural Scotland 

ANNUAL REPORT, 1939 

THE Council have pleasure in submitting the Annual Report of the Association, together with a Statement of Finances for the year ended 31st December 1938. 

Cordial thanks are again due to the office-bearers of the Association for their personal services during the course of the past year. 

The Council also desire to thank the Carnegie United Kingdom Trustees for their support, a sum of £1000 having been granted to the Association for the period 1936-1938. 

The Press has to be warmly thanked for its interest in the objects and work of the Association. 

INTRODUCTION 

The Council present their Annual Report at a time when the international situation is exceptionally grave and when the urgent needs of the nation are making increasing calls upon the services of the people. The preservation of rural Scotland may seem a small matter when the freedom and the integrity of the country may at any time be threatened, but the Council confidently appeal to the members of the Association to continue to give the A.P.R.S. their unabated support. The Council do more than this. They appeal for more support than ever, because the financial position of the Association needs to be greatly strengthened if the Association is to carry out its objects with vigour and effectiveness. The grant which the Carnegie United Kingdom Trustees so generously made to the Association ceased last December, and the Council feel that the thanks of the Association can best be tendered to the Trustees by a resolve on the part of the members to enrol at least as many new members as will add, by their subscriptions, an equivalent amount to the annual income of the Association. 

The activities of the Council were mainly directed, in the early part of 1938, to the third Caledonian Power Scheme; and it will be seen from a later page in this Report that notwithstanding the fact that within the lifetime of the present Parliament three Bills embodying the scheme have been rejected on Second Reading by the House of Commons, there is a possibility that a fourth Scheme may be brought forward in the near future. The Council are carefully watching developments. 

Among other activities of the Council during the year special attention may be called to the consideration which has been given to the problems of the Highlands and Islands and to the subject of National Parks. These are described in the Report. 

The subjects of Housing, Town Planning and the Preservation of Old Houses are omitted from the present Report. They have, however, been frequently before the Council during the year; and it should be noted that consideration has been given to the preservation of old houses at South Queensferry, Clackmannan, and elsewhere; to the subject of the stripping off of the roofs or the actual demolition of country mansions with a view to avoiding the obligation to pay rates or for other reasons; to the preservation of ancient buildings and amenities, as at Iona and New Abbey. 

THE COUNCIL 

The deaths of the following members of Council are recorded with deep regret:- 

The Most Hon. The Marchioness of Aberdeen and Temair, 

Mr H. R. G. Inglis, 

Mr Malcolm B. M’Beth, 

Rev. A. B. Robb. 

The Council have met regularly on the first Wednesday of each month (August and September excepted), and attendances have been uniformly good. By courtesy of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland the monthly meetings of the Council have been held at 15 Rutland Square, Edinburgh. The arrangement has proved convenient to members of the Council, and it is desired to thank the Royal Incorporation very cordially for this facility. 

THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS OF SCOTLAND 

The Council desire to congratulate the Committee on the Highlands and Islands on the publication, in November, of their long-expected Report. The Committee was appointed by the Scottish Economic Committee in 1936 with the following remit: 

“To examine economic conditions in the Highlands and Islands and the possibilities of development of local industries therein.” 

The Report is a vital contribution to the investigation of the economic and industrial problems which so urgently demand solution if the conditions of life in the Highlands and Islands are to be regenerated, and it contains many valuable constructive proposals towards this end. The Council warmly commend the Report to the members of the Association. 

The Report deals with many matters which do not fall directly within the scope of the objects of the A.P.R.S., and some of these require a highly specialised knowledge, to which the Council of the Association cannot lay claim, for their full appreciation; but in view of the fact that the problems which to-day so gravely affect the Highlands and Islands are closely inter-related, the Council instructed their Hydro-Electric Committee to examine the Report as a whole and to draw up a memorandum of observations, dealing especially with the sections of the Report on the subject of Water Power, for submission to the Secretary of State for Scotland. The Committee carefully considered the Report at several meetings, and their memorandum, which was approved by the Council, was sent to the Secretary of State on 24th March 1939. In acknowledging the memorandum, Mr Colville said that he was glad to have the views of the Association, and that he would consider them very carefully. 

As the Report of the Highlands and Islands Committee has stirred public interest in the urgent problems with which it deals, and as its recommendations are being considered by the Government Departments respectively concerned as well as by the Scottish Office, the Council feel that their memorandum to the Secretary of State for Scotland should be printed in full in this Annual Report. The Memorandum reads as follows:- 

“The problem of the Highland area involves the prevention of the continued decrease in the population and the provision of work for the unemployed. The cause of the decrease in the population is partly the lack of employment, but a lack of attractiveness in the life is a no less powerful factor. The conditions of life in the glens must be improved, not only in material comfort, but also in mental interests and in opportunities for contact with other people. Failing these changes few of the young in each generation will be content to stay on the ground; the others will go south to the towns or emigrate. The Report, in accordance with the terms of reference to the Committee, is chiefly devoted to an examination of economic conditions in the Highlands and Islands, and of the possibilities of development of local industries therein; but we believe that any development of local industries will of itself only partially stay the decrease in the population. 

EDUCATION 

“The drift from countryside to towns is not confined to the Highlands and Islands. It is widely held that the kind of education given in the schools tends to foster this migration from the rural areas, and it is on the whole the more enterprising of the young people who take advantage of the opportunities thus opened to them. Life in towns offers more obvious attractions, not merely in opportunity for amusement, but in mental stimulus and human interests. The attraction of the country lies chiefly in contact with the soil and in appreciation of nature, and encouragement of this attitude of mind may with advantage find a larger place in the educational scheme of country schools. In the end the glens can keep their population only if the conditions of life in their totality do not compare unfavourably with those of other parts. We put forward this aspect because it is scarcely considered in the Report, and it appears to us a fundamental element in the problem. 

COMMUNICATIONS AND TRANSPORT 

“At the same time the Report indicates many avoidable disabilities, both material and humanistic, under which the people in the area suffer. Improvement of communications, not merely for tourist traffic, but for the handling of industrial and farm products and for wider facilities for social intercourse, is greatly needed. The road programme should include minor roads up the side glens no less than main roads, and their construction should precede other schemes for improvement of agriculture and industry, as without adequate transport facilities there is small chance of successful development. The Report gives many instances of almost prohibitive charges for carriage of goods and live stock, both by land and by water, which seriously handicap trading, and substantial reductions in these cases are needed, with assistance by low mileage rates to the more remote parts. The high cost of carriage also restricts the purchase of desirable articles for home use and leisure times. 

INDUSTRIES 

“In some parts there existed in the past various industries, employing a considerable number of men, that have wholly or largely died out, and some help will be needed to reinstate them. Granite and other building stones, flagstones, slates, and lime are instances. Forestry is already under extensive development, and in a few years a substantial increase in employment should result, not only in the care of the forests, but in saw-milling and wood-working factories and workshops. The fishing industry is of great importance, and appears to be capable of improvement in organisation and control. This subject is very complex, and has been fully examined in the Report. We should like, however, to stress the need for improvement in the provision of piers, harbours, boat-slips and other aids to the industry, which would benefit not only the fishing interests but coastal communications and industries generally. 

“As there is little in the way of a local market, we recognise that Highland industries, if they are to compete successfully in the open market, must be restricted chiefly to lines in which the localities can offer advantages in production. There are some natural materials, but, while the list given above is not exhaustive, there are not many more. Several possibilities of improvement in agriculture are now under examination, such as bracken eradication, peat soil treatment, dried grass production, and intensive production of vegetables, and while each one applies only to certain places, in the aggregate the effects could be considerable if improved transport afforded facilities for marketing. 

HOME INDUSTRIES 

“There are considerable possibilities for the establishment of industries that can be carried out in the home at intermittent times, especially during the winter. Factories cannot be operated in this way, but if small supplies of power and ample lighting are available, as explained below, a large amount of time can be profitably employed that now is unavoidably wasted. The home production of linen and woollen goods may thus be made successful, in areas where factories are not able to compete with those in the south. 

ELECTRIC POWER 

“One substantial asset can be made available in the Highland area, that of cheap electric power. The Report schedules some 80 possible hydro-electric stations with an aggregate of over half a million kilowatts, of which only II are less than 1000 kilowatts. At average requirements for the ordinary industries this would provide power for the employment of some 350,000 workers-more than the whole population of the Highlands – so there is ample power which is at present scarcely used. If the whole area were so fully electrified that all domestic uses-lighting, cooking, and heating-were supplied in addition, there would still be more than half of the possible power unabsorbed. 

“But the matter has another aspect. The above schedule of electric power has obviously been calculated on the basis of using all the water in the rivers, and the large head of water at the stations demonstrates that a great distance of lade, tunnel, or pipes will be required, some miles of river-bed in each case being made dry for the greater part, if not the whole, of the year. This would destroy any salmon fishings in the river and eventually the net fishings at the mouth. The trout fishing would be lost on those lengths and injuriously affected lower down, to the detriment of local employment among hotel-keepers and their staffs; and the deterioration in the scenic appearance of the glens would prejudice general tourist activity, with further loss to the area, for the farming industry finds good sales for its products among visitors, and many other people obtain employment. Hence an exhaustive development of hydro-electric power would have dangerous repercussions, and to avoid these results the amount of power extracted must be greatly reduced from the figures given in the schedule. An ample supply would still be left for all ordinary industries. 

ELECTRO-CHEMICAL FACTORIES 

“The Report advocates the development of electro-chemical processes. At present aluminium is produced at Fort William, Kinlochleven, and Foyers, and the manufacture of calcium carbide has been proposed. These processes absorb a very large amount of power per man employed, more than one hundred times as much as the generality of other industries, so they cannot yield any large addition to employment. Even if the whole of the power detailed in Appendix VIII, with its ruthless treatment of the rivers, were devoted to these processes, the total employment would be only some 3000 men, and all possibility of other industries requiring power would be permanently extinguished. A different policy is here submitted. 

“Almost every glen contains a river or burn which could operate a hydro-electric plant of small or moderate size. Such plants can be made almost automatic, and supervision and other running charges will be very low. If there is no need to extract all the possible power a small dam and reservoir and a short pipe line will suffice. The distribution line, being confined to one glen, will be short and at moderate electrical pressure, and the whole equipment will be inexpensive, thus permitting of the supply of power to the inhabitants at a low figure. At present the distribution schemes from large stations in the Highlands are unavoidably expensive owing to lengthy distributing lines with wide spaces of uninhabited land between the valleys, and the cost of the power to the consumer precludes its use for the domestic purposes of cooking and house heating, while it is little more attractive for many farm operations and for quarry work and stone dressing. The provision of these local hydro-electric installations would be a suitable subject for loans at a low rate of interest. 

“These small stations will cause little injury to the amenity of the glens, for the constructions will be individually small, the alteration in the river flow will extend over only a short distance and will not be exhaustive, and there will be a minimum of transmission lines, which will be, moreover, of an inconspicuous size.

ELECTRIC POWER CONTROL 

“We advocate that all the water power in the Highland area that is not already in use or authorised for use should be put under the control of the proposed Commission or Commissioner, who, as indicated in the Report, will have general charge of Highland development, and that this authority should undertake the provision of power to the various localities as described above. If in any case the Commission or Commissioner grants facilities to a private body for the development of power for its own purposes there should be reservation of ample power for other local industries as described above, and for domestic uses existing or possible. We entirely endorse the view expressed in the Report that in no case should the Highland water power be exported to other parts of the country. 

“We submit, further, that the transfer of water itself on a large scale from one watershed to another should be permitted only for essential public services, such as water supply to a town. 

The people living in the area of a watershed have a natural right to the water falling in their area, and abstraction of the water subjects them to a permanent injury. 

BENEFITS OF CHEAP ELECTRIC POWER 

“The provision of cheap power will definitely assist many industries. As mentioned above, several industries dealing with mineral products and timber should be restarted or established, and the power will help towards their success. The farming interest will absorb large quantities of pulverised limestone, both on existing farm land and in the reclamation of peat soils, and this product requires little more than power for quarrying and grinding. The home industries, such as textiles and possibly artistic metal- and wood-work, will be greatly helped by small amounts of power and by the provision of ample lighting during the winter time. Hence we urge that all exploitation of the water power should be prevented and that it should be used primarily as a means to a single end, that of promoting industries suitable to the area and increasing the amenities of life to the people. 

COUNTRY PLANNING 

“Finally, we consider advisable a wide application of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act of 1932 to the counties in the area, and recommend financial aid for the purpose. The rateable value of these counties is very low, and an outlay which is trivial to a large town becomes a serious matter. We believe that well-devised planning schemes under this Act to promote orderly development of agriculture and industry in appropriate districts, and not least to protect the natural beauty of the Highlands, will be of great benefit.” 

HYDRO-ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE HIGHLANDS 

The Council’s last Annual Report dealt fully with the activities of the Association in opposition to the third Caledonian Power Bill, which was rejected on second reading by the House of Commons on 6th April 1938 by 227 votes to 141. No scheme for the development of hydro-electric power in the Highlands has been brought forward since that date, but there have been rumours from time to time that new proposals, affecting an area approximately that of the Caledonian Power Scheme, are in contemplation. 

In April 1939 questions were put in the House of Commons to the President of the Board of Trade on the subjects of the production of calcium carbide and the rejection of the Caledonian Power Bill. These questions elicited replies to the effect that the President was aware of the importance of calcium carbide to our industries, but had no information of any difficulty in meeting the demand. The Government would welcome any well-considered plan for the production of this material in the United Kingdom, but had no powers to intervene with private enterprise; and the provision of Government factories was not in contemplation. Sir Thomas Inskip had stated that while the provision of carbide in this country would be desirable, he did not regard it as vital. There was at present a project on foot for starting a company to produce carbide in this country, and the Government very much hoped that it would come to fruition. The Board of Trade had recently been in communication with Local Authorities and others in a part of the country (which was not specified in the replies) about a scheme for the production of calcium carbide. 

Recent statements in the Press have been more specific. In April 1939 several newspapers reported that there was some prospect of a scheme for the manufacture of calcium carbide in the Highlands being brought forward in the not very distant future. On 21st April the Glasgow Herald’s London correspondent stated that he understood that several interests were considering projects in different parts of the country – South Wales, the North of England, and the Highlands being still the favoured areas for proposed factories. He had good reason for saying that the Secretary of State for Scotland would welcome the choice of the Highlands. At present there was under consideration by influential interests a scheme for the generation of electricity by water power which would be exceptionally well adapted for the production of calcium carbide and other electro-chemicals at commercial rates. The proposition had not yet reached the stage when statutory powers should be sought, but Local Authorities in the Highlands were being sounded regarding the general question of their attitude towards any enterprise on the principles of the thrice-rejected Caledonian Power Scheme. 

The Council have other information which tends to confirm some of these Press statements, and they think it advisable to draw the attention of members of the Association to the possibility of a scheme for a large-scale development of hydro-electric power for the production of calcium carbide in the Highlands being brought forward in the near future. The Council fully realise the vital importance and urgency of all manufactures that are connected with national defence at the present time, but they would again emphasise that calcium carbide would be produced more cheaply and far more expeditiously by coal power than by hydro-electric power, and that the wholesale and exhaustive appropriation of water-power in the Highlands for such extravagant uses as the calcium carbide and other electro-chemical industries will completely prevent development in other more appropriate and more employment-giving occupations. In order to avoid any misunderstanding of the policy of the Association on this matter, the Council would again state, as in previous Annual Reports, that their attitude towards hydro-electric developments in the Highlands is not negative, but essentially constructive. In dealing with proposals such as hydro-electric schemes, which necessitate large changes in the aspect of a particular area of the country, they are not actuated solely by a regard for the preservation of natural beauty. Under the constitution of the Association, which the Council sedulously observe, their attitude towards developments which are undoubtedly beneficial to the district concerned or desirable from a national point of view is directed to ensuring that any harm done to scenery and other amenities is as small as possible. But they claim the right to examine the evidence brought forward in support of any scheme and to form an opinion on its merits. 

NATIONAL PARKS 

The National Parks Committee of the Association have held several meetings in the course of the year. They recognise frankly, as stated in the Council’s last Annual Report, that the situation in regard to National Parks has changed considerably in Scotland since they reported on the subject in 1934; and, further, that the National Parks movement, owing partly to the differences which the problem of the provision of National Parks presents in Scotland as compared with England, appears to be developing on somewhat different lines in the two countries. The fact, for example, that 20 per cent. of the land in England is hillfarm and moorland, while the relative proportion in Scotland is 80 per cent., obviously implies differences of conditions which cannot be ignored; and such other matters as relative density and distribution of population must equally be taken into account. The Committee have reported to the Council that they recognise the great value of the contributions to the enjoyment of natural beauty and to the promotion of national fitness that have been made in recent years by the Youth Hostel movement, by the action of the Forestry Commission in opening up certain of their unplantable hinterlands for public access, and by the acquirement of Dalness and Glencoe by the National Trust for Scotland. 

They do not, however, consider that these contributions obviate the desirability of reserving further areas for similar purposes. The Committee are therefore strongly of opinion that certain considerable regions should now be selected for preservation, so that the nation might there ultimately acquire such public rights of access, preservation, and development as are essential for the formation of National Parks. The Committee are accordingly now preparing a map of Scotland showing areas which are of exceptional beauty, and should therefore be fully protected against anything that would injuriously affect their amenity, and areas which are suitable for protection in the sense that they should not be put to any use without consent of the proper authorities. Such protection would not at all interfere with suitable development of these areas, but would prevent needless loss of their attractiveness. Among these areas will no doubt be parts which in the future may be taken for specific National Parks. It should be noted, in this connection, that the Town and County Planning Act of 1932 gives powers for the preservation of places of natural interest and beauty, and generally for protecting existing amenities in both urban and rural areas. In view of the fact that counties in Scotland which are predominantly rural have a small rateable value, the Committee are of opinion that the cost of scheduling such areas should be aided by Government funds, since the preservation of these areas is a matter of national importance. 

The Committee have also asked the Scottish Standing Nature Reserve Committee, on which the A.P.R.S. is represented, to map out areas suitable for Nature Reserves proper, to which access by the public may be controlled. This suggestion has been adopted by the Standing Committee. 

The Council desire to record their grateful appreciation of the generous provision of National Forest Parks which the Forestry Commission have made; and they would draw the attention of members of the Association to the Guide to the Argyll National Forest Park (price 6d.) which the Commission issued through H.M. Stationery Office last May. The Guide contains notes on the history, geological structure, vegetation, forests and plantations, and fauna of the Park. 

SCOTTISH FEDERATION OF OUT-OF-DOORS ORGANISATIONS 

As a result of consultations between representatives of the National Fitness Council for Scotland and representatives of a number of organisations interested in the use of the Scottish country for such recreational purposes as hiking, cycling, camping, etc., a Scottish Federation of Out-of-Doors Organisations was established in February 1939. The consultations were begun in December, and the A.P.R.S. was represented on the Interim Committee which framed the constitution of the Federation and of a Countryside Code or Pledge of Good Conduct. The principal objects of the Federation are to protect the interest of Out-of-Doors Organisations and to maintain and extend their rights and privileges; to encourage the pastime of out-of-doors recreations, and to foster a greater love, use, and knowledge of the countryside; to assist in the preservation of countryside amenities, and to maintain friendly relations with landowners and with the rural community generally; to co-operate with the constituent bodies of the Federation in securing camping sites, maintaining rights of way and otherwise furthering the objects of the constituent bodies; to show by example rather than precept the carrying out of the Federation’s Countryside Code. 

The Associations which joined the Federation when it was established represent some 60,000 members; and it is anticipated that other associations which support the principles of the Federation will shortly join and so bring the total membership to nearly 250,000. It is understood that the National Fitness Council for Scotland propose to circularise farmers and landowners with a copy of the Countryside Code and a list of the organisations comprising the Federation, and to ask them to assist the National Fitness campaign by giving every facility to members of these organisations and to all others (whether members of the Federation bodies or not) who can show familiarity with the terms of the Pledge and express their willingness to abide by it. 

The A.P.R.S. is represented on the Executive Committee of the Federation, Professor Baily being Hon. Treasurer and the Organising Secretary a Trustee. 

THE REGULATION OF ADVERTISEMENTS 

The Council regret to have to report that no definite progress towards the solution of the problem of the regulation of advertisements has yet been made. It was hoped that the round-table conference of all the interests concerned which was held at the Home Office in February 1938, and the committee which that conference nominated (reported upon in the Council’s last Annual Report), of which Lord Haddington, President of the A.P.R.S., is a member, would have arrived at an agreed solution before now, but no decision has yet been reached. The committee are continuing their investigations. 

The Council would remind members of the Association that the second reading of Lord Polwarth’s Licensing of Advertisements (Scotland) Bill was taken in the House of Lords on 30th March 1938, and that Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, replying for the Government, agreed that the House should accept the second reading of the Bill, and that the Committee Stage should be postponed until the committee of the Home Office conference had concluded their inquiry. Lord Polwarth’s Bill was drawn up by the Association of County Councils in Scotland and approved by the A.P.R.S. 

PREVENTION OF RIVER POLLUTION 

The subject of the pollution of rivers and streams has been before the Council on several occasions during the year, but little effective action can be taken under the existing legislation. In 1937 the Scottish Advisory Committee on Rivers Pollution Prevention stated in their Sixth Report, entitled, “Suggested Amendments of the Law on Rivers Pollution Prevention”:-

“We have definitely come to the conclusion that a satisfactory solution of the problem of rivers pollution is not possible under the present administrative arrangements. The evidence received and the inspections made have convinced us beyond all doubt that in order to secure the purification of rivers a drastic change in these arrangements is necessary.” 

The Report submitted proposals for effecting a remedy of what the Advisory Committee considered the more urgent and serious difficulties, but no official action has yet been taken.

It should be recorded that in November the Council wrote to the Secretary of State for Scotland on the subject of the pollution of the river Jed at Jedburgh. Facts relating to the serious condition of the river were given, and the Council urged that the time had come when, in the interest of the public, steps should be taken to secure that adequate purification works, so urgently needed and legally obligatory, should be carried out without further delay. Copies of the letter were sent to the Department of Health for Scotland, Roxburghshire County Council, and Jedburgh Town Council. 

ROADS 

At their meetings in May and July the Council considered proposals which had been put forward by the Ministry of Transport for the construction of a by-pass road which would cut through parts of the land which had been acquired by the National Committee for the Preservation of the Battlefield of Bannockburn. In October the Ministry of Transport asked for the views of the Association on the three routes which they had under consideration so far as these would affect the Field, and immediately thereafter members of the Council and of the Stirling and District Branch of the Association, accompanied by representatives of the Ministry of Transport, visited the site on two occasions. Every facility was given by the Ministry of Transport to enable the representatives of the Association to view the three possible routes in so far as they would affect the parts of the Field which had been acquired for preservation. The route desired by the Ministry of Transport would cut through the middle of the Field; an alternative route would skirt the boundary of the land acquired; while a third line, of considerably greater length, would be practically clear of the Battlefield. The representatives of the Association considered that the second route was the most satisfactory. The third route would involve unnecessarily heavy expense, while the first would detrimentally affect the historic associations of the site. The Council approved of these views, which were communicated to the Ministry, with a request that the Council might have an opportunity to present them at the Public Inquiry which would precede the Minister’s Order in regard to the road. The Council’s views were also communicated to the National Trust for Scotland and to the National Committee for the Preservation of the Battlefield of Bannockburn. 

BRANCHES 

In view of the urgent need for obtaining more members and for strengthening the financial position of the Association, the Council urge members to do all that they can to increase the membership of existing Branches or to help in the formation of new Branches. The Council are convinced that the existence and the co-operation of active Branches are essential if the objects of the Association are to be carried out effectively. They are aware that when so many urgent national calls are being made upon the time and energies of the people, it is not an easy task to increase the activities of existing Branches or to form new Branches, but they confidently call upon members to give all the help that they can. Plans are in active preparation for the formation of a Branch for East Fife, and it is hoped that steps may shortly be taken for the formation of Branches in Ayrshire and East Lothian. Other districts in the North and West are also being considered. 

** 

The Council wish to place upon record their thanks to Mrs Gladstone of Capenoch for an “At Home” which she kindly held at Capenoch in September with a view to strengthening the Dumfriesshire Branch. They also wish to express their appreciation of the enterprise of the Border Branch in issuing an appeal for money to preserve Hume Castle, and their pleasure at the success of the appeal. 

The thanks of the Council are tendered to the officers and members of the Branches already formed. The following is a list of the Branches:- 

FINANCES 

Subscriptions from all sources, including the due proportion of Life Members’ payments, amount to £336, as against £354 in the previous year, and the Life Membership Fund stands at £930 as against £954. The total expenditure for the year is £705, but £26 of this was incurred on account of the Caledonian Power Bill, which has since been met by donations for the purpose, so the nett expenditure for the year is £679. The sum borrowed from the Life Membership Fund in the early years of the Association, which in 1932 amounted to £736, has been steadily reduced by the credit balance each year since that time. At December 1938 it stood at £244, and has since been reduced to £161. 

From 1936 to the end of 1938 the Association was in receipt of a grant of £333 a year from the Carnegie Trust, and by its aid and that of a former grant we have carried through the last five years with a credit balance averaging £110 a year, and this has enabled us to reduce the debt as stated above. The grant was to cease at the end of 1938, and thus in 1939 the income will be diminished by this sum. Hence there is a prospective annual deficit of £223 to be faced. The Organising Secretary has offered to carry on the work of the office with the help of one assistant instead of two as at present, but there is a risk that this will restrict the useful work of the Association, and it can only be considered as a provisional arrangement. 

An increase of the income can be achieved if the members agree to the plan by which the Association can recover the income tax already paid by members on their subscriptions. All that is required for this is the signing of the form sent with this Report, by which the member guarantees the continuance of his membership for seven years or for the duration of life, whichever is the less. This addition would make a substantial difference, amounting to a possible £70 a year to be recovered, and members are earnestly requested to fall in with this arrangement. It does not involve them in any additional expense, and the only liability incurred is that of continued membership for seven years. 

There will still be a considerable deficit on the year even with the most favourable result of the foregoing proposals, and this can be met only by a substantial increase in the membership. The formation of new branches in various districts should help to this end, but the personal interest of each member in enlisting the support of friends will be of great assistance, and the Council appeal to the membership for their sympathetic co-operation in the present serious position. A larger membership is not only a financial strength, but it will widen the interest in the objects of the Association and will strengthen its influence both on the general public and on representative bodies. 

(Statement overleaf) [see PDF]

As correspondence and subscriptions intended for one body are sometimes addressed to the other, the Council draw attention to the fact that the A.P.R.S. and the National Trust for Scotland for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty are separate and distinct organisations, though working in close co-operation. The National Trust is a body primarily for the preservation of land and buildings for the behoof of the public, while the A.P.R.S. is mainly concerned with the preservation of amenities. The address of the National Trust is 4 Great Stuart Street, Edinburgh, 3.
