  • Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles: Canna, Eigg, Muck
    Highland Archaeology Services Ltd Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles: Canna, Eigg, Muck, Rùm Report No: HAS051202 Client The Small Isles Community Council Date December 2005 Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles December 2005 Summary This report sets out general recommendations and specific proposals for the development of archaeology on and for the Small Isles of Canna, Eigg, Muck and Rùm. It reviews the islands’ history, archaeology and current management and visitor issues, and makes recommendations. Recommendations include ¾ Improved co-ordination and communication between the islands ¾ An organisational framework and a resident project officer ¾ Policies – research, establishing baseline information, assessment of significance, promotion and protection ¾ Audience development work ¾ Specific projects - a website; a guidebook; waymarked trails suitable for different interests and abilities; a combined museum and archive; and a pioneering GPS based interpretation system ¾ Enhanced use of Gaelic Initial proposals for implementation are included, and Access and Audience Development Plans are attached as appendices. The next stage will be to agree and implement follow-up projects Vision The vision for the archaeology of the Small Isles is of a valued resource providing sustainable and growing benefits to community cohesion, identity, education, and the economy, while avoiding unnecessary damage to the archaeological resource itself or other conservation interests. Acknowledgements The idea of a Development Plan for Archaeology arose from a meeting of the Isle of Eigg Historical Society in 2004. Its development was funded and supported by the Highland Council, Lochaber Enterprise, Historic Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, and the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust, and much help was also received from individual islanders and others.

  • Developing an Onshore Wind Farm on Bute – an Experiential Perspective on Policy and Planning
    Developing an onshore wind farm on Bute – an experiential perspective on policy and planning Adrian Tear Department of Geography, Buckingham Building, University of Portsmouth, PO1 3HE Partner, Ascog Farm, Ascog, Isle of Bute, PA20 9LL Email: [email protected] Abstract The purchase of Ascog Farm on the Isle of Bute, Scotland in 2008 has plunged the author and his family into an otherwise unfamiliar world of conflict surrounding onshore renewable wind energy development. Ascog Farm has high average annual wind speeds and is proximal to exisng operaonal wind farms on the mainland in North Ayrshire. Following inial, and inexpensive, invesgaons of potenal conducted in 2009 a series of increasingly detailed, and expensive, feasibility studies have been commissioned culminang in the producon of an Environmental Statement to support a planning applicaon for three mid‐sized (50m to hub, 74m to p) community benefit wind turbines lodged with Argyll and Bute Council in October 2012. Over £120,000 has been spent researching and collang the planning applicaon, which has taken around two years to produce. A significant proporon of project funding has been provided by the Scosh Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) which aims to support the development of 500MW of community and locally‐owned renewable energy generang capacity by 2020. Despite this support reacon to the project from a small but vociferous group of acvists has been negave with a variety of print and online material suggesng wind turbines may harm wildlife, ruin views, discourage tourists or cause health complaints while doing lile to combat climate change.

  • Sound of Gigha Proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment
    Marine Scotland Sound of Gigha proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment December 2020 Partial Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment Title of Proposal Sound of Gigha proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) Purpose and intended effect Background The Scottish Government is committed to a clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse marine and coastal environment that meets the long term needs of people and nature. In order to meet this commitment our seas must be managed in a sustainable manner - balancing the competing demands on marine resources. Biological and geological diversity must be protected to ensure our future marine ecosystem is capable of providing the economic and social benefits it yields today. The EU Wild Birds Directive (2009/147/EC as codified) requires Member States to classify as Special Protection Areas (SPAs) the most suitable territories for wild birds. Building on the work of the SPA Review Working Group and taking account of existing guidelines on the identification of SPAs (JNCC, 1999), Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) have identified 13 sites which they consider essential for marine SPA status. These proposals include sites supporting wintering waterfowl, important areas for red throated divers, terns, European shag and foraging seabirds. The Sound of Gigha proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) is centred around the island of Gigha, which lies some 4 kilometres (km) off the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll and Bute (Figure 1). The SPA covers a total area of 363.27km2 extending from Macrihanish Bay in the south to the entrance of Loch Caolisport off Knapdale to the North.

    ASCOG HOUSE AND MEIKLE ASCOG, ISLE OF BUTE, ARGYLL AND BUTE The history of the Ascog demesne goes back further than either of the two houses on it. In 1312 Robert the Bruce is said to have given Ascog to the Bute family of Glass. In 1594, the estate, including a mill, Loch Ascog and Nether and Over Ascog, was bought by John Stewart of Kilchattan, a distant kinsman of the Stewarts of Bute who became Earls and later Marquesses of Bute. Ascog House - John Stewart may have built the first house at Ascog, replacing an older tower. Despite the date of 1678 above one of the dormer windows, the original Ascog House was built earlier than that. With its stair tower and cap-house, it is of a type commonly built around 1600. In addition, in the wall of the present kitchen is part of a grand chimneypiece. This belonged to a great hall whose floor and ceiling were both at a higher level than today. In 1673 John Stewart of Ascog, grandson of the first John Stewart, married Margaret Cunningharn and it is their initials that are engraved on the house. They must have carried out a major reconstruction, lowering the floors to create two main storeys, and adding the dormer windows. John Stewart was rich enough to lend the Earl of Bute £9,385 to help re-build Rothesay Castle after damage in the Civil War. He was also crowner or coroner of Bute from 1666-98. During the 18th century, the original mullion windows of Ascog House were enlarged and fitted with sash and casement frames.

Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter.

  • Loch Fyne Marine Biosecurity Plan
    Loch Fyne Marine Biosecurity Plan Developed in Partnership with the Stakeholders in Loch Fyne C2W Consulting Figure 1 Loch Fyne, Argyll and Bute, Scotland, UK 1 This plan was funded by Marine Scotland and has been developed by the users and community of Loch Fyne, Argyll, Scotland with the support of C2W Consulting. This plan is non-statutory, and all actions listed are undertaken on a voluntary basis. This biosecurity plan was developed in partnership with local stakeholders between November 2019 and April 2020. The Loch Fyne Biosecurity Plan covers the areas from the head of the loch near Cairndow, out to a seaward boundary loosely defined by a line from Ardlamont point in the east to Skipness point in the west. Principle Contractor Marine Scotland appointed Sarah Brown of C2W Consulting to deliver the community and stakeholder led biosecurity plan. 2 REPORTING What to do if you think you’ve seen Didemnum vexillum, the carpet sea-squirt 1.

  • Tarbert Castle
    TARBERT CASTLE EXCAVATION PROJECT DESIGN March 2018 Roderick Regan Tarbert Castle: Our Castle of Kings A Community Archaeological Excavation. Many questions remain as to the origin of Tarbert castle, its development and its layout, while the function of many of its component features remain unclear. Also unclear is whether the remains of medieval royal burgh extend along the ridge to the south of the castle. A programme of community archaeological excavation would answer some of these questions, leading to a better interpretation, presentation and future protection of the castle, while promoting the castle as an important place through generated publicity and the excitement of local involvement. Several areas within the castle itself readily suggest areas of potential investigation, particularly the building ranges lining the inner bailey and the presumed entrance into the outer bailey. Beyond the castle to the south are evidence of ditches and terracing while anomalies detected during a previous geophysical survey suggest further fruitful areas of investigation, which might help establish the presence of the putative medieval burgh. A programme of archaeology involving the community of Tarbert would not only shed light on this important medieval monument but would help to ensure it remained a ‘very centrical place’ in the future.
