  • Feasibility Study
    for Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre Community Trust April 2020 Broch Field Feasibility Study Strathyre, Stirlingshire Broch Field Feasibility Study determined that the improvements to the landscape of the site, which can only be achieved through community ownership, would create an attractive Strathyre, Stirlingshire for BLS Community Trust and vibrant space which would balance with the additional burden of care required. These improvements would also have the potential to introduce additional use and income streams into the community. Summary The undertaking of a feasibility study to investigate potential for community ownership of the Broch Field, Strathyre, was awarded to Munro Landscape by the Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre (BLS) Community Trust. Community surveys, undertaken by BLS, confirmed a strong desire to take ownership of the field, which is utilised as a ‘village green’ for the local area and hosts regular community events. Key themes emanating from the survey results were taken forward to this study for assessment for viability. A concept proposals plans was produced to explore the potential for a reimagining of the current use of the field and enhancement of existing features. This was developed alongside investigations into the viability of each aspirational project and detailed costings breakdown. Overall conclusions from this study are that the Broch field is a much- needed community asset, with regular use and potential for sensitive, low- key community development. Expansion of the current facilities would support both local the community and visitors to the village and area. Implementation of landscaping improvements can be undertaken in conjunction with the introduction of facilities for the provision of a motorhome stopover, which would assist in supporting the ongoing costs of managing the site.

  • One Englishman, One Bike and One Tent. Cycling the Lochs & Glens
    One Englishman, one bike and one tent. Cycling the Lochs & Glens Sustrans Route Making time to do some ~proper” cycle touring was one of my avowed aims on taking early retirement in 2015, but it was 2016 before the opportunity came round to do the first planned trips – both halves of the Lochs and Glens route from Carlisle to Inverness. Late snow put paid to the initially planned April timeslot, and so it was May 8th before Mrs Morris waved me off in Carlisle. I didn’t wave back as I was too busy trying to keep the bike upright with panniers front & back and a tent bungeed onto the rear pannier rack. Starting Out in Carlisle Day 1 Carlisle to Castle Douglas: 64 miles, 2,016 feet Basically, the route follows National Cycle Route 7 – so how hard can that be. Piece of cake if you follow it the right way. I did three miles out of Carlisle going the wrong way before I realised, so added six miles to the planned 64. But soon flying along on what I knew was going to be the flattest day, crossing into Scotland at Gretna Green before racing along the Solway and reaching Castle Douglas for teatime – with the one climb up the Old Military Road helpfully at the end of the day. Three pints, steak and chips and in bed fast asleep by 10 – a pattern I was to repeat regularly. Day 2 Castle Douglas to Glentrool 59 miles, 2,858 feet Set off surprisingly fresh having expected to feel really stiff, and raced along to Newton Stewart – and then hit the first serious climbing of the trip, inland and into increasingly wild and remote scenery.
