  • 1 the HIGHLAND COUNCIL the Proposal Is to Establish a Catchment Area for Bun-Sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, and a Gaelic Medium
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL The proposal is to establish a catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, and a Gaelic Medium catchment area for Lochaber High School EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS STATEMENT THIS IS A PROPOSAL PAPER PREPARED IN TERMS OF THE EDUCATION AUTHORITY’S AGREED PROCEDURE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOLS (CONSULTATION) (SCOTLAND) ACT 2010 INTRODUCTION The Highland Council is proposing, subject to the outcome of the statutory consultation process: • To establish a catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar. The new Gàidhlig Medium (GM) catchment will overlay the current catchments of Banavie Primary School, Caol Primary School, Inverlochy Primary School, Lundavra Primary School, Roy Bridge Primary School, Spean Bridge Primary School, and St. Bride’s Primary School • To formalise the current arrangements relating to Gàidhlig Medium Education (GME) in related secondary schools, under which the catchment area for Lochaber High School will apply to both Gàidhlig Medium and English Medium education, and under which pupils from the St. Bride’s PS catchment (part of the Kinlochleven Associated School Group) have the right to attend Lochaber High School to access GME, provided they have previously attended Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar. • Existing primary school catchments for the provision of English Medium education will be unaffected. • The proposed changes, if approved, will be implemented at the conclusion of the statutory consultation process. If implemented as drafted, the proposed catchment for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar will include all of the primary school catchments within the Lochaber ASG, except for that of Invergarry Primary School. The distances and travel times to Fort William from locations within the Invergarry catchment make it unlikely that GM provision would be attractive to parents of primary school age children, and dedicated transport from the Invergarry catchment could result in excessive cost being incurred.

  • 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.

    LAND-USE AND LANDSCAPE : HYDROELECTRICITY AND LANDSCAPE PROTECTION IN THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND, 1919-1980 Jill Rowan Payne A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St. Andrews 2008 Full metadata for this item is available in the St Andrews Digital Research Repository at: https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/562 This item is protected by original copyright This item is licensed under a Creative Commons License LAND-USE AND LANDSCAPE: HYDROELECTRICITY AND LANDSCAPE PROTECTION IN THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND, 1919 - 1980 Jill Rowan Payne Doctor of Philosophy University of St Andrews 3 April 2007 ABSTRACT This thesis employs twentieth-century hydroelectric development ventures in the Highlands of Scotland as a means of exploring conflicting demands of socio- economic development and landscape protection in cherished places. In Scotland, twentieth-century landscape protection ideals were founded upon a landscape aesthetic shaped by the principles and objectives of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Romanticism. The concept that the ‘natural’ world somehow existed separately from the world of humans, as a potential refuge from a rapidly industrialising European society, meant that the Romantic landscape aesthetic left little or no room for the incorporation of visible elements of industrialisation. This aesthetic has seen only limited change over time. As a result, satisfactory compromises between land-use and landscape protection have seldom been reached: a situation thrown into sharp relief by efforts to develop Highland water systems for the generation of hydroelectric energy during the period 1919 to 1980.

  • Mullach Na Craobhan Corran Onich by Fort William PH33 6SE
    MacPhee & Partners Mullach Na Craobhan Corran Onich By Fort William PH33 6SE Set in spectacular Highland scenery and enjoying an idyllic elevated position with uninterrupted views over Loch Linnhe to the surrounding hills, Mullach Na Craobhan forms a superior detached villa, surrounded by generous garden grounds. Attractively decorated and in immaculate order throughout, the sale offers an ideal opportunity to acquire a large family home. Due to its size and location the property would also lend itself to a generous guest house or premium self-catering property and benefits from double glazing, an electric central heating system and two impressive multi-fuel stoves. In addition to the property itself, there is an attached double garage for which planning permission has been previously granted, to create integral self contained accommodation as well as the erection of a separate garage/carport/workshop in the grounds. The owner’s have indicated the furniture is available at separate negotiation. The property’s panoramic views of the Ardgour hills and Loch Linnhe produce breath-taking scenery all year round, while the Corran Ferry and active waterway provides interest. The current owners have created a wooden craft studio in the grounds, the French doors and decking boasting spectacular views. Check our website for a video link of the property, views and surrounding area. Mullach Na Craobhan’s setting evokes a real feeling of seclusion, yet is only a short walk or drive to all local amenities, with Fort William some 8 miles north and Ballachulish village 6 miles to the south. Situated on the edge of the popular village of Onich, the property is well placed to take advantage of the numerous leisure and pleasure activities the area has to offer.
