This notice should be read in conjunction with the regulations above and with MGN 334 on local information and local knowledge. Further information is available in MGN 333 on transitional arrangements for Existing Masters, and MGN 264 on medical requirements. It supersedes M1525. PLEASE NOTE:- Where this document provides guidance on the law it should not be regarded as definitive. The way the law applies to any particular case can vary according to circumstances - for example, from vessel to vessel and you should consider seeking independent legal advice if you are unsure of your own legal position. - 1 - Summary • The Merchant Shipping (Inland Waterway and Limited Coastal Operations) (Boatmasters' Qualifications and Hours of Work) Regulations come into force in early 2007 and introduce new requirements for those operating commercial vessels on inland waterways and in limited coastal areas. • The new licence supersedes the previous passenger boatmasters' licence that was introduced in 1993 as was described in Merchant Shipping Notice M1525. • "Inland Waterways" means waters of Category A to D as defined and listed in Merchant Shipping Notice (MSN) 1776, and any non-categorised inland waters. • "Limited coastal area" means no more than 3 miles from land and no more than 15 miles from point of departure. • This MSN gives information about the structure and requirements of the new Boatmasters' Licence for all passenger ship and non-passenger vessel operators within the UK. • The new Boatmasters' Licence regulations apply only to the master of the vessel, not to other crew members. • The licence does not apply to pleasure vessels or leisure users of self-drive hire boats. • Transitional arrangements for those already working as masters when these regulations come into force, and requiring a licence for the first time under them, are set out in MGN 333. • Information about the Hours of Work Code for self-employed boatmasters, and other working time reg ulations is in MSN 1778(M). 1. Introduction/ Background 1.1 The Merchant Shipping (Inland Waterway and Limited Coastal Operations) (Boatmasters' Qualifications and Hours of Work) Regulations come into force in early 2007 and introduce new requirements for those operating commercial vessels on inland waterways and in limited coastal areas. The new regulations introduce a new Boatmasters' Licence for all those commercially operating. It replaces the previous passenger boatmasters' licence that was introduced in 1993. 1.2 The aims of the new Boatmasters' Licence are to underpin safety standards whilst helping facilitate trade and movement of labour on the UK's inland waterways, and on those in other EC countries. 1.3 Boatmasters' Licence candidates who wish to be assessed for a licence after the regulations come into force will need to fulfil the training requirements, and undergo a practical and oral assessment, as set out in this and related notices. Existing boatmasters or skippers can apply for a new licence on the strength of their existing licence or, if they do not currently hold a licence, on the basis of their skills and recent experience. Marine Guidance Note (MGN) 333 "New Boatmaster's Licence - Guidance on the Application Provisions for Existing Masters of Vessels" sets out the arrangements for this. - 2 - 2. Definitions 2.1 For the purpose of this MSN, the following definitions apply:- "boatmaster" means the person in command of an inland waterways vessel. "inland waterways" means:- Categorised Waters A, B, C and D as defined and listed in Merchant Shipping Notice (MSN) 1776, as amended; and, Any non-categorised inland waters. "limited coastal area" means an area of no more than 3 miles from land and no more than 15 miles from point of departure (excluding waters of category A, B, Cor D). "limited coastal operations" means voyages within a limited coastal area. "small commercial vessel" means a vessel certificated to operate under MCA's Small Commercial Vessel and Pilot Boat (SCV) Code(s). 3. Application and scope of the new Licence 3.1 The new Boatmasters' Licence (BML) is required for the masters of:- • passenger ships (carrying more than 12 passengers) • non-passenger vessels of 24m and over, which includes:­ >- cargo vessels; >- tankers; >- tugs and pusher craft engaged in cargo operations; >- workboats >- dredgers when they are operating in inland waterways or in limited coastal areas. 3.2 The new BML is also suitable for vessels carrying no more than 12 passengers in inland waterways and other small commercial vessels (under 24m) in the same operating areas as above. With a "sea" endorsement the BML is valid for operations up to 60 miles from a safe haven on a small commercial vessel.

Durch seine Lage am schiffbaren Teil des Flusses Clyde wurde Glasgow, die Second City of the Empire, durch den Schiffbau und den Handel mit der neuen Welt geprägt. Die Merchant City, das Stadtviertel der Tabakbarone, zeigt noch heute das aus der Neuen Welt übernommene Schachbrettmuster. Während der Weltkriege war Glasgow eine verrauchte Millionenstadt mit einer großen Konzentration an Schwerindustrie. Mit dem Niedergang der Schwerindustrie sank die Einwohnerzahl. In den 1990er Jahren fanden umfangreiche Stadterneuerungsarbeiten statt, so dass viele Teile der Innenstadt nun in neuem Glanz erstrahlen. 1990 wurde Glasgow zur European City of Culture, 1999 als UK City of Architecture and Design und 2003 als European City of Sport gewählt. In dieser Stadt voller Kontraste ist es jedoch ein Leichtes, auch Stellen zu finden, an denen diese Erneuerung spurlos vorrüber ging. The pub!

The landscape is internationally renowned, so its importance extends far beyond the Park boundaries. The North Loch Lomond area is characterised by a vast and open sense of place and long dramatic vistas. The loch narrows north of Inveruglas and has a highland glen character with narrow and uneven sides and huge craggy slopes. The forests and woodlands along the loch shores contrast with surrounding uplands to create a landscape of high scenic value. The Loch Lomond Islands are unique landscape features with a secluded character, they tend to be densely wooded and knolly and hummocky in form. The upland hills, which include Ben Lomond and Ben Vorlich, surrounding Loch Lomond provide a dramatic backdrop to the loch. The upland hills are largely undeveloped and have an open and wild sense of place. However, there are exceptions, with evidence of pylons and masts on some hills and recreational pressures causing the erosion of footpaths on some of the more popular peaks.

Signed ……………………………………………………………………………… Acknowledgements I would like to thank all those who have provided me with support, advice and information throughout my research. These include: Steve Boardman, Nick Dixon, Gordon Thomas, John Raven, Anne Crone, Chris Fleet, Ian Orrock, Alex Hale, Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust, Scottish Natural Heritage. Abstract Freshwater loch settlements were a feature of society, indeed the societies, which inhabited what we now call Scotland during the prehistoric and historic periods. Considerable research has been carried out into the prehistoric and early historic origins and role of artificial islands, commonly known as crannogs. However archaeologists and historians have paid little attention to either artificial islands, or loch settlements more generally, in the Late Medieval or Early Modern periods. This thesis attempts to open up the field by examining some of the physical, chorographic and other textual evidence for the role of settled freshwater natural, artificial and modified islands during these periods. It principally concentrates on areas of central Scotland but also considers the rest of the mainland. It also places the evidence in a broader British, Irish and European context. The results indicate that islands fulfilled a wide range of functions as secular and religious settlements. They were adopted by groups from different cultural backgrounds and provided those exercising lordship with the opportunity to exercise a degree of social detachment while providing a highly visible means of declaring their authority.

  • Loch Lomond Byelaws 2013
    Loch Lomond Byelaws 2013 lochlomond-trossachs.org Loch Lomond Byelaws 2013 | 1 98394 LOC LOM 24pp.indd 1 14/03/2013 13:27 IntroductIon Loch Lomond is the largest body of freshwater in mainland Britain. The loch and its islands are used by visitors throughout the year for a range of recreation interests, including boating, water-skiing, canoeing, camping, fishing and sailing. The loch is also important for a range of environmental interests and as the source of drinking water for millions of Scots. Its islands are special places containing high quality semi-natural habitats and providing homes to rare species. The islands are protected under a range of environmental designations. Many businesses and communities around the loch, such as marinas, cruises, scheduled water bus services, boatyards, hotels, B&Bs and visitor attractions, thrive on the opportunities that Loch Lomond offers. There is a need to balance environmental, economic and social pressures on Loch Lomond; to ensure that the loch can be enjoyed safely and responsibly; and to prevent the things that make it special from being over-used or degraded. The Byelaws The Loch Lomond Byelaws were introduced in 1996 by the Loch Lomond Regional Park Authority. In 2002 Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority became responsible for the byelaws, which were revised in 2007. A further review took place in 2012 and the revised Loch Lomond Byelaws were approved by Scottish Government Ministers in February 2013. The Byelaws set out in this publication are effective from the 1st April 2013. 2 | lochlomond-trossachs.org 98394 LOC LOM 24pp.indd 2 14/03/2013 13:27 The NaTioNal Park auThoriTy The National Park Ranger Service undertakes most of the byelaw enforcement and compliance activity on the loch.
