The proposed development would comprise a bar and restaurant, with the restaurant on ground and first floors, and a self contained one bedroom manager's flat, accessed via an external stair, on the first floor. The proposed footprint would largely coincide with the former building. 1.2 Informal pre-application enquiry 12/04272/PREAPP was submitted: change of use from hotel/B&B accommodation to 4/5 self catering units within existing building, with existing bar retained. Generally supportive response subject to occupancy controls to prevent units being sold off separately. 1.3 The site is just off the A82 approximately 9 miles south of Fort William, adjacent to the queue for the ferry crossing from Nether Lochaber to Ardgour, and next to the Corran Bunkhouse.

  • (Moine) Calc-Silicate Rocks Represent Metamorphosed Tuffs? a Geochemical Re-Appraisal Richard A
    Do Neoproterozoic (Moine) calc-silicate rocks represent metamorphosed tuffs? A geochemical re-appraisal Richard A. Batchelor School of Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland KY16 9AL Running heads: LH: RICHARD A. BATCHELOR RH: DO NEOPROTEROZOIC (MOINE) CALC-SILICATE ROCKS REPRESENT METAMORPHOSED TUFFS? Suggest: CALC-SILICATE ROCKS 1 ABSTRACT: Following the identification of grey quartz–albite–chlorite–calcite–muscovite rocks in Meso- to Neo-proterozoic sequences in Scotland as metamorphosed tuffs of intermediate composition, it has been shown that this lithology will generate calc-silicate rocks at higher metamorphic grades. Both rock types occur as thin beds with sharp contacts with their host, occur as multiple beds in isolated suites, and share chemical compositions suggestive of volcanic sources with tholeiitic andesite affinities. The failure to recognise calc- silicate rocks as tuffs might explain the apparent scarcity of volcanogenic material through c. 220 million years of early Earth history in Scotland. KEYWORDS: Calc-silicates, tuffs, intermediate magmatism, Moine 2 1 Calc-silicate rocks, which are metamorphic rocks composed mostly of plagioclase feldspar, amphibole, 2 garnet, quartz and occasionally epidote, are sporadically distributed throughout the Neoproterozoic 3 Moine Supergroup of Scotland. The Moine Supergroup comprises a thick sequence of sedimentary 4 rocks, deposited in fluviatile (Bonsor & Prave 2008) and shallow marine environments between c. 950 5 Ma and 870 Ma (Mendum et al. 2009), intruded by some minor igneous intrusions, all of which were 6 subjected to regional metamorphism and deformation events (Strachan et al. 2010). The sediments 7 were derived from the denudation of the c.1000 Ma Grenville Orogen and deposited off the eastern 8 margin of Laurentia into a foreland basin.

JAMES MACDOUGALL Sometime Minister of Duror " Author of " Craignish Tales," and " Folk and Hero Tales EDITED WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES By Rev. GEORGE CALDER, B.D. Minister of Strathfillan " Author of "The Irish iEneid Honorary Member of the Caledonian Medical Society EDINBURGH: JOHN GRANT 31 GEORGE IV. BRIDGE 1910 TO THE CALEDONIAN MEDICAL SOCIETY, DISTINGUISHED ALIKE FOR PROFESSIONAL SKILL AND FOR HEREDITARY INTEREST IN THE HIGHLANDS, THIS VOLUME OF HIGHLAND TRADITIONS IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED BY THE EDITOR. EDITOR'S PREFACE. I HAVE pleasure in acknowledging my indebtedness to Mrs. MacDougall for her whole-hearted interest in the progress of the work from first to last, for transcribmg the English Text, and for approving numerous minor changes in expression, which I had suggested, and thus relieving me from the sole responsibility of making those changes. It is but right to say, however, that as the work advanced through the press, I felt impelled to make the alterations in the text, and especially in the translation, much more thorough-going than I had at first contemplated. In the Gaelic text I have endeavoured to simplify the spelling, and therefore excluded such MS. forms as daramh (dara), 'san t-seallamh ('san t-sealladh), a' deanadh (deanamh), o'n taice so (tac) p. 1 68, romh (roimh), sid (sud). Fhalbh (p. 32) remains as probably the correct form of thallaibh. The final vowel of fern, a stems has been printed in full, as also of the verbal perfects cuala, faca; and, latterly, whenever possible, the substitution of commas for letters, or words, has been avoided.

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.

  • Population Change in Lochaber 2001 to 2011
    The Highland Council Agenda 5 Item Lochaber Area Committee Report LA/2/14 No 27 February 2014 Population Change in Lochaber 2001 To 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report presents early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Lochaber. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the population has “aged”, and that there is a large number of people who are close to retirement age. The population of Lochaber has grown by 6.1% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in both Wards, and at a local level in 18 out of 27 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled preparation of the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on the Highland Council’s website at: http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/highlandfactsandfigures/census2011.htm 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Lochaber population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). The changes for Highland are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.

  • Lochaber Eel Survey
    Lochaber Eel Survey Final report 2010 Lochaber Fisheries Trust Ltd. Biologists: Diane Baum, Lucy Smith Torlundy Training Centre, Torlundy Fort William PH33 6SW 01397 703728 Funded through grants from Scottish Natural Heritage and Marine Scotland Summary This study is the first systematic survey of eel populations in Lochaber. Electrofishing was used to collect data on eel distribution and density across Lochaber between 2008 and 2010, and this was compared to incidental eel records from historical surveys (1996-2004). We found no evidence for a contraction in the distribution of eels across Lochaber. Eels were recorded in all the catchments surveyed with the exception of Morar. Eels are known to be present in Loch Morar and may simply prefer the loch habitat to tributary burns covered by this survey. Young eels were present on most catchments and estimates of eel age suggest recruitment of young eels has occurred on all but one of the catchments surveyed within the last 4 years. The oldest eel caught was estimated to be at least 28 years old, and could be over 40 years old if growth rates are low on our rivers. Eel densities tended to be higher on rivers entering the west coast (Moidart, Shiel, Inverie) than those draining into upper Loch Linnhe. This could reflect the relative ease of migration of elver to the west coast as opposed to the head of a long sea loch. We found no relationship between eel density or mean eel size and survey site characteristics, altitude and distance form the sea. Overall we found no evidence for a decline in eel distribution or abundance in Lochaber, but potential threats to the region’s eel population are discussed.
