  • The Lands of Kincaid in Relation to the Highlands of Scotland
    Peter Anthony Kincaid The lands of Kincaid in relation to the Highlands of Scotland. The physical boundary between the Lowlands and the Highlands of Scotland is the Highland boundary fault. The Highland boundary fault creates a visible change in the geology of the land. The fault comes ashore from the river Clyde near Helensburgh and continues in a north east direction towards Aberfoyle. It continues north east all the way to near Stonehaven on the coast of the North Sea.1 The islands of Inchmurrin, Creinch, Torrinch, and Inchcailloch in Loch Lomond all form visible parts of the Highland boundary Fault.2 The lands of Kincaid are at best about 15.3 English miles or about 24.6 kilometres from this fault (if one takes a direct line from the intersection of Campsie Road and Milton Road to summits north east of Conic Hill). Without doubt the lands of Kincaid are physically in Lowland Scotland. Some may argue that people may have considered a different boundary with regards to what one considered a Highlander. The evidence does not support this. It is not until the 1716 penal laws established against the Highlanders that this author could locate any official boundary. In what we refer to as the Disarming Act of 1716, the western bounds were established as "within the Shires of Dumbarton on the North-side of the Water of Leven, Stirling on the North-side of the River of Forth."3 At that time, Scots must have understood the Highlands to be north of the River Forth and north of the river Leven.

  • The Orkney Hotel Whisky Menu
    THE ORKNEY HOTEL WHISKY MENU ORKNEY MALTS Orkney’s rugged and windswept character has shaped some of Scotland’s most distinct and warming malt whiskies. Highland Park 12yr (40%) From Scotland’s northernmost distillery comes a full flavoured Malt. With a nose of malt, sherry and peat, a palate of smoke, heather and other earthy elements. Highland Park 15yr (43%) Highland Park 15 has a remarkable complex nose with notes of camphor, peat and citrus fruits and flowers. The drying sensation on the finish leaves a rich smoky feeling and the immediate desire to refill your glass. Highland Park 18yr (43%) Burnished gold in colour with a rich, mature oak and aromatic smoke aroma. It has a rich, full flavour, honey and peat taste and a soft, round and long finish. Highland Park 21yr (47.5%) Drawing its incredible character from predominantly American oak casks which have been seasoned with sherry, this 21 year old is a truly dynamic whisky with an intensely fruity and spicy centre, surrounded by complex layers of candied orange peel, dark chocolate and rich, slightly drier smoke. A malt that rewards patience and delivers experience like no other. Highland Park 25yr (50.7%) With its golden dark red colour and very rich, mature oak, chocolate fudge aroma, this whisky is universally acclaimed, by the critics as one of the great single malts. It has a full, rich burst of flavours, soft honey and nutty toffee and a long and surprisingly sweet finish for its age. Highland Park 30yr (48.1%) 30 years ago after deciding to lay down the casks that would go on to become the heart of this exceptional whisky and over these 3 decades, the whisky maturing inside them has developed an outstanding balance, with a seductive sweetness and extremely delicate smoke.

COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary Site condition monitoring for otters (Lutra lutra) in 2011-12 Commissioned Report No. 521 Project No: 12557 and 13572 Contractor: Findlay Ecology Services Ltd. Year of publication: 2015 Keywords Otter; Lutra lutra; monitoring; Special Area of Conservation. Background 44 Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) for which otter is a qualifying interest were surveyed during 2011 and 2012 to collect evidence to inform an assessment of the condition of each SAC. 73 sites outside the protected areas network were also surveyed. The combined data were used to look for trends in the recorded otter population in Scotland since the first survey of 1977-79. Using new thresholds for levels of occupancy, and other targets agreed with SNH for the current report, the authors assessed 34 SACs as being in favourable condition, and 10 sites were assessed to be in unfavourable condition.

  • Draft Management Plan for Loch Lomond NNR 2018-2028
    Draft Management Plan for Loch Lomond NNR 2018-2028 PLAN DETAILS Start 01-APR-2018 End 31-MAR-2028 Site description Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve (NNR) lies in the southeast corner of Loch Lomond, in the southern part of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Loch Lomond NNR as a whole is 430 hectares (ha) in size and is incredibly diverse. The reserve includes some of the woodlands for which Loch Lomond is renowned, including the wooded shores on the mainland, the islands of Inchcailloch, Clairinsh, Torrinch, Creinch and Aber Isle, and the wetlands at the mouth of the River Endrick. Oak woodlands cover the islands, and a mosaic of open water, wetland, grassland and woodland habitats occupy the Mainland. The diversity is high because of its geographical position; it sits on the dividing line between the Highlands and Lowlands so habitats and species at the limits of both their northern and southern ranges in Britain are found here. The climate at Loch Lomond is relatively oceanic with mild winters. The importance of the reserve is reflected by the number of habitats and species which are either legally protected or are covered by Biodiversity Action Plans. People have managed these habitats for a variety of different purposes over the centuries, but today these wonderful woodlands and wetlands are managed primarily for wildlife and for people to enjoy. Scottish Natural Heritage managed the whole reserve up to 2004 when the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park took on the management of Inchcailloch. In 2012 RSPB Scotland purchased the Wards estate on the south side of the Endrick and now manage this as the RSPB Loch Lomond part of the Loch Lomond NNR.
