Assessor for Central Scotland
|
The Assessor for Central Scotland was set up in 1996 following local government re-organisation. Under the Local Government (Scotland) etc 1994, local authorities are required to appoint an assessor for valuation purposes. Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannan all appointed the previous Central Region Assessor to continue the same function. The Assessor is also responsible for compiling the electoral roll for the Falkirk Council area. Valuation Rolls were first compiled in 1855 as a result of the Lands Valuation (Scotland) Act 1854. Valuation Rolls were produced annually from 1855 to 1988. Separate rolls were compiled for burghs and for counties. Parochial boards also compiled assessment rolls. They were used to establish the rateable value of property which provided the basis for local taxation and assessments on local services. Following local government re-organisation, valuation rolls became the responsibility of Regional Councils. The valuation system was abolished in 1989 and replaced by the Community Charge. For valuation rolls prior to 1974 see the appropriate Burgh or Parish.

Mottram, Patrick & Dalgleish
|
The practice of Alfred Hugh Mottram was continued by his son James Arthur Hugh Mottram who had served part of his apprenticeship with Dunn & Martin and became a partner in 1950. In 1954 the younger Mottram took Thomas Edward Patrick, a friend from Edinburgh College of Art, into partnership; and in 1960 their long-serving chief assistant Andrew Martin Dalgleish also became a partner. The practice title then became Mottram Patrick & Dalgleish.
In 1968 the practice amalgamated with that of Donald P Whitehorn to become Mottram Patrick Whitehorn Dalgleish & Partners and some time later Mottram Patrick. In the same year Ronald Drylie was taken into partnership. [Source: Dictionary of Scottish Architects http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/] |
