Researching Property Prices in Nairn

March 9, 2010 · Filed Under Business, Development, Nairn 

I’ve been doing some research into property prices in Nairn over the past week, after finding Net House Prices actually provides sale price information on property without having to sign up.
What I found interesting is that there are a couple of properties on Osprey Crescent on the Lochloy development that have been sold four time [...]

Fake blog comments

March 9, 2010 · Filed Under Nairn 

Noticed lasted night that someone has been posting fake comments at the Gurn pretending to be me.
I normally sign comments with a:
- Brian
at the end.
However, someone else has been doing so, usually to post something intended to read as unpopular.
It’s pretty sad, really, that in the world we live and all the problems that [...]

Sandown enquiry starts today

March 2, 2010 · Filed Under Development, Nairn 

The appeal by Deveron against refusal by the Highland Council to approve their Sandown development gets under way today.
The BBC covers the story very briefly, but more details are found in the P&J story.
Interesting to see a South Community Councillor has a blog and has commented on the issue.
Perhaps more interesting, though, is a story [...]

Charlie Chaplin walk in Nairn?

February 26, 2010 · Filed Under Nairn, Tourist 

The fact that Charlie Chaplin used to holiday regularly in Nairn is not well known outside of the town, but I know some people have been pushing hard to get something done.
Now Ardersier author John Oliver is pushing to get a walk instated – though with a projected “couple of statues” with a cost of [...]

Lochloy traffic lights out – again!

February 26, 2010 · Filed Under Nairn, Roads 

Traffic lights at Lochloy Road are out again.
Looks like we had a power cut last night, but all the other traffic lights seem to be working fine.
Not sure what the excuse will be this time? Too cold for signals?
UPDATE: As of 1pm they are working again. For the time being.

Spelling goes downhill at Millbank Primary?

February 22, 2010 · Filed Under Education, Nairn 

Getting very concerned about the teaching at Millbank Primary School.
Normally, I’d consider it a very well regarded and successful school, but this year the teaching staff seem to have lost the plot in some areas.
The P7 pupils are being given stupidly easy spelling assignments, and even though many parents raised concerns at the last parent’s [...]

Nairn craft skills under spotlight

February 13, 2010 · Filed Under Arts, Nairn 

Melanie Muir is featured in Craft & Design magazine, and is highlighted as one of only 5 people from the Highlands area forwarded for an award from Hi Arts.
It’s always nice to see a positive story Nairn, not least when they reveal the richness of skills and expressions within the town, that could be easily [...]

Alchemy submits plans for new data centre

February 13, 2010 · Filed Under Business, Inverness, Nairn 

Alchemy have formally submitted plans for a new data centre by the harbour in Inverness.
If this plan actually goes ahead, the benefits to small IT business should not be under-estimated – there is a huge cottage industry in reselling space in data centres, either through the direct co-location of servers, or even the reselling of [...]

Nairn Golf Club takes over Sandown

February 13, 2010 · Filed Under Development, Nairn 

That’s according to Google Maps, which now has Nairn Golf Club taking up the Sandown lands.
Still no high resolution satellite view of the town yet – though we’re the only part of the area not yet covered, with Ardersier, Forres, and south Nairnshire all covered.
Perhaps when the satellite image is updated to hi-res, we can [...]

Scotlands coldest Winter

February 1, 2010 · Filed Under Nairn, Nature, Weather 

As Nairn sees more snow drift in over the past few days, the met office have reportedly declared the current Scottish Winter the coldest for almost 100 years – since records began in 1914.
Ice patches still remain from the previous snow falls, rain had already soaked the roads and ground, so freezing temperatures and more [...]
