  • 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.

Following further consideration at the Council’s West Coast Sub Committee on 1st April 2003 the draft document was considered further by the Ross and Cromarty Area Committee on 7th April 2003. At that time it was agreed that – X Any decision on the adoption of the Management Strategy should be deferred pending consideration of the Wester Ross Local Plan review.

COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary North-west Scotland subtidal seagrass bed survey 2004 Commissioned Report No. 076 (ROAME No. F04LB05) Contractor: Ben James, Maris Ecologists Background Maris Ecologists were contracted by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) to participate in and subsequently report on a survey of nearshore marine habitats on the north-west coast of Scotland between Greenstone Point in Gruinard Bay and Sheigra at Kinlochbervie. The primary aim of the survey work was to map the distribution, size and extent of Zostera marina seagrass beds in the West Sutherland and North West Ross areas. The study was commissioned to determine the scale of potential ‘under-recording’ of the seagrass resource in the SNH North Highland area, to subsequently inform local implementation of the UK ‘Seagrass Beds’ priority Habitat Action Plan (HAP) and to support the continued delivery of SNH’s statutory marine nature conservation advice.

  • Gairloch and Wester Ross
    Guide to GAIRLOCH and DISTRICT Loch Torridon to Little Loch Broom : West of the Moine Thrust 1 This Guide aims to cover everything which can be seen and done along the A832 road from Kinlochewe to Dundonnell, and its seven side roads. This is the central part of Wester Ross, which is roughly defined as the region between Lochcarron and Achiltibuie. Its eastern boundary is an important geological feature, the Moine Thrust (p36). As you drive west along the A832, either from Achnasheen in the south or from Braemore Junction in the north, you cross into a different kind of landscape where the oldest rocks in Britain survive: a rugged and beautiful land of lochs and steep mountains. Most people here live on the coast; Kinlochewe is the only major exception. Most of the settlements are “townships”, originating as scattered groups of crofts, each consisting of a stone cottage on 4 or 5 acres of land. The largest centre of population and main service centre is Gairloch, and this Guide imagines that you are based there. This spectacular corner of Scotland is becoming better known thanks to the North Coast 500 route. It contains most of the largest National Scenic Area (NSA) in Scotland; much of it is a Wild Land Area; and it is in the Wester Ross UNESCO Biosphere. The many highlights include the Torridon Hills, the Great Wilderness, Loch Maree, Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve, Inverewe Garden, Gairloch Museum. There are fine coastlines with many beaches, unique geology (p36), interesting history and archaeology (p34-5), wildlife (p33), and in this guide over 60 walks.
