  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide

    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide

    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

    Looking towards AttadalePhoto by by PeterPeter Teago AN CARRANNACH The General Interest Magazine of Lochcarron, Shieldaig, Applecross, Kishorn, Torridon & Kinlochewe Districts NO: 367 August 2018 £1.00 “Walking to the Island” and other poems. by Alan MacGillivray "Walking to the Island” is a collection of poems which, in the author’s own words, is “A poetic evocation of boyhood summer holidays in the Wester Ross village of Lochcarron in the years during and just after the second world war.” This modest description, found on the back cover of the book, is accurate enough to whet the appetite of anyone who might casually pick it up for inspection, but fails to do justice to the scope and range of the work found within its covers. “Walking to the Island” is itself a sequence of poems and prose poetry, by turns nostalgic, celebratory, descriptive and elegiac, the totality of which is considerably more than the sum of any of its constituent parts. These are poems, which, like a good malt “uisge beatha”, which in a way they resemble, need to be savoured slowly and appreciatively. Their memories, observation, humour, wit and wisdom a complex and heady distillation of experience matured over time, and served up here in verse, which has style and variety sufficient to maintain the reader’s interest over the course of the “journey”, a journey both back in time, but also into the heart and soul of a community and culture. There is the occasional flash of anger, and overall a sense of sadness entirely in keeping with the book’s dedication to the author’s late brother James MacGillivray of affectionate memory in these parts.

    news THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH ISSUE 8 • WINTER 2003/2004 RESOURCE THE NEWSLETTER OF SCOTLAND’S NATIONAL ACADEMY RSE Agrees …Science Education Matters The first report of the independent expert group, the Scottish Science Advisory Committee (SSAC), Why Science Education Matters, published in November 2003, identifies a range of measures which seek to make science education in Scottish schools a matter of high priority. The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) welcomes this report and recognises the recruitment crisis faced by school science departments. The Society, with funding from the Scottish Executive, hopes to help contribute, in part, to reversing this problem by offering Scotland’s science and careers teachers Teaching Fellowships. This new scheme offers teachers the chance to undertake exciting projects in business, industry and research and aims to support them in encouraging higher-level science studies. Professor John Coggins, RSE Vice-President and Chair of the SSAC’s working group, said: Scotland is attempting to develop new science-based industries at a time when fewer students are applying to study science. It is vitally important to increase the number of science graduates. This new scheme will help science teachers become more aware of the latest developments in science and of the exciting opportunities for careers in science which they will be able to transmit to their pupils. The RSE believes that working together with other key bodies in Scotland in strategic partnership is the best way forward and actively promotes the education of young people throughout Scotland. Its programme of events for primary and secondary school students is designed to stimulate and develop an early interest in science, society and culture.

The existing overhead line is 58km including the existing spurs and provides electricity to 344 customers. It is one of the last remaining cadmium copper overhead line circuits on the exposed west coast of Scotland and is considered to be a high priority for major refurbishment due to unacceptable physical condition and poor system performance. The majority of the overhead line was built in 1950 to a light duty, long span specification using 3/.093 (.017sq in) cadmium copper conductors. The circuit is three phase (three wire) for the first few kilometres from Aultbea to Laide and part way along the Opinan 11,000 volt spur. The remainder of the circuit is single phase (two wire). The original line was extended from Dundonnell Forest to Eilean Darroch in 1956 and then on to Dundonnell House in 1958. These sections of line incorporate shorter span lengths and use 3/.104 (.025sq in) copper conductors. The circuit has suffered 20 faults over the last 5 years. The majority of faults on this circuit relate to age, deterioration and under-design.
