It will require updating as we progress, and not all the questions that people may have are answered in this document. However, if you have particular needs or questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Chas at [email protected] Furthermore, if there is a particular trip that you would like to make, say to an ancestral place, which is not covered in the Roots Days programme, please let us know. If we can help with organisation, we'd be delighted to!

There’s too much to mention from Fort William to Skye, but Armadale Castle and Clan Donald Centre provide the backdrop to a spectacular day of piping and dancing, culture and heritage. This is just a fantastic chance to see the land of the Gàidheal with an unparalleled set of iconic Highland experiences. Tapaisteal nan Eilthirich Diaspora Tapestry A monumental new tapestry Exhibitions of the tapestry designed and created in collaboration with Scottish diaspora communities around the world. Air Falbh 's Air Adhart Leaving & Getting On A musical drama about leaving Curating music, song, and social culture from 17c-18c west Highland land depopulation, together with new and diaspora work, this musical drama will evolve around themes of departure with young people and adults, and significant Gàidhlig content. The creative team is local, international, and the cream of Lochaber's emerging young talent: truly impressive. Facal nam Bàrd Bardic Festival Lochaber's Bardic Tradition Amongst others, Iain Lom of Keppoch, Mary MacKellar, Alasdair MacMhaighstir Alasdair, the first bard of the Gàidhlig Enlightenment, and of equal quality and importance as Burns. Not only fine bards, they had interesting lives too. With scholars, working bards, and the public, to touch another time in readings, seminars, and music. An Taghadh The Choice Discussion about characters of note Light hearted discussion of our shared heritage, on people who made stuff happen, beyond the usual suspects in 1200-1700 and 1700-1900.

Seirbheis Buidheachas Uile Eaglaiseil Ecumenical Service of Thanksgiving A simple service of thanksgiving for who and where we are Turas Bhàta Loch Seille Loch Shiel Boat Trip A spectacular history trip on Loch Shiel From Glenfinnan’s Jacobite monument to Glenaladale, origin of the group which had such an impact upon the Canadian Maritimes, lead by Captain John MacDonald. Then to Dalilea and the Green Isle, an ancient island burial ground, and spectacular water, wildlife, and high mountains. Ceòl a' Chaisteil Music of the Castle Music and theatre in & around Castle Tioram Enigmatic Castle Tioram backdrops a music and song culture celebration, hopefully with a performance of Air Falbh 's Air Adhart. Who knows, there may even be a barbecue! Ranald Òg's last 'Wild Highland Barbecue' was a blast. Turas nan Saighdear Soldiers' Tour West Lochaber's martial history. Few areas in the UK have such an astonishing military legacy. From the Lordship of the Isles to a modern day jet playground, the difficult, testing terrain of Na Garbh Criochain (The Rough Bounds) is perfect for tough, tactical, guerrilla style warfare. This trip is guided through Loch Morar, Arisaig, Borrodale, Loch nan Uamh, Lochailort, Glenfinnan, Fort William, and finally, Achnacarry. Sealladh on Bhraighe A View from the Braes A stunning mountain view of the Linnhe basin From Aonach Mòr it is possible to see vast stretches of Lochaber and Cameron lands. Spectacular is a small word for this event from high on the slopes of the Aonach Mòr skiing area. Parclans Parclans A clan based golf tournament Parclans will be a one day golf tournament at the Traigh Golf Club just outside Arisaig. The club are inviting rounds of four: 3 cousins from away, and 1 club member, so there's good course tips, and good craic from club players. What better way to play - meeting real live local people, your favourite game, and all on a course with the most spectacular scenery in the UK! Bàirean Gàidhealach Àrasaig Arisaig Games Lochaber's top Highland games Endpoint of the An Tilleadh 2014 summer celebrations, and another major event on the 2014 calendar. Arisaig is the area’s premier games, providing the venue for the Clan Donald Gathering with Clan Ranald. Mòd Dhòmhnallaich Clan Donald Gathering Hosted by Clan Ranald at Arisaig Games The clan will gather at the stunning Traigh farm for a landmark event preceded by a grand village march; then a feast of heavies, dancers, pipers, runners, arts and crafts, and clan and historical events beneath blue skies! Rhutling Rootling The history of Arisaig’s Rhu Peninsula Arisaig's Rhu peninsula is marvellously wild, once holding thousands of people. Agrarian change saw many cleared, but marks remain. Old settlements are important to diasporans tracing ancestry to Arisaig and Rhu. Plentiful bronze age settlement is apparent in stone structures as well as in single artefacts such as ring and cup marked stones. Accommodation Bed and Breakfasts 6, Cameron Avenue.

    West Coast Railways Presents FAMOUS STEAM TRAIN 2021 Season FORT WILLIAM TO MALLAIG Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish Western Highlands aboard the World-famous Jacobite Steam Train and its vintage carriages. “The World’s Greatest Railway Journey” THE JOURNEY Fort William to Mallaig Described as the greatest railway journey in the world, this 84 mile round trip takes you past a list of impressive extremes. Starting at the highest mountain in Britain, Ben Nevis, it visits Britain’s most westerly mainland railway station, Arisaig; passes close by the deepest freshwater loch in Britain, Loch Morar and the shortest river in Britain, River Morar, finally arriving next to the deepest seawater loch in Europe, Loch Nevis! The Train stops en route to Mallaig at the village of Glenfinnan. Beyond Glenfinnan are the beautiful villages of Lochailort, Arisaig, Morar and Mallaig. You may alight at Arisaig by request to the guard. From here, on a clear summer’s day, you can see the “Small Isles” of Rum, Eigg, Muck, Canna and the southern tip of Skye. The train continues on from here passing Morar and the silvery beaches used in the films “Highlander” and “Local Hero”. Come and join us and find out why! THE ROAD TO THE ISLES Following Harry Potter.... West Coast Railways, operators of ‘The Jacobite,’ provided the steam engine and carriages for the ‘Hogwarts Express’ as seen in ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ and others in this wonderful series of films.

  • 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.
