    Tayside Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2nd Edition 2016­2026 Incorporating the local authority areas of Angus and Perth & Kinross Every Action Counts! Scottish Wildcat © Scottish Wildcat Action 2 Chairman’s Message Anyone glancing at this latest Biodiversity Action Plan for Tayside could be forgiven for feeling a little daunted at the scale of the tasks identified in the Actions. Indeed, the scale of what we need to do over the years ahead is large if we are to pass on to our future generations a land that is as rich and varied in all its forms of life as the one that we have inherited. The hope that we can rise to this challenge comes from the sheer goodwill of so many people and organisations willing to give their time and effort to look after our wildlife, whether it be found in the remoter hills or closer to home in our towns and villages. Great examples of what can be achieved when we work together with a little direction and thought applied can be found throughout the following pages. This Action Plan arrives at a time of great uncertainty, particularly in rural areas which have been so dependent on public funding for so much of our land use. Following the Brexit vote, we have to take the view that this must be an opportunity to improve on our delivery of so many of the tasks identified in this Plan and others which, if achieved, will improve the life of all of us along with all the many forms of life that we share this country with.

  • Quaternary of Scotland the GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES
    Quaternary of Scotland THE GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES The comparatively small land area of Great Britain contains an unrivalled sequence of rocks, mineral and fossil deposits, and a variety of landforms that span much of the earth's long history. Well-documented ancient volcanic episodes, famous fossil sites, and sedimentary rock sections used internationally as comparative standards, have given these islands an importance out of all proportion to their size. These long sequences of strata and their organic and inorganic contents, have been studied by generations of leading geologists thus giving Britain a unique status in the development of the science. Many of the divisions of geological time used throughout the world are named after British sites or areas, for instance the Cambrian, Ordovician and Devonian systems, the Ludlow Series and the Kimmeridgian and Portlandian stages. The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) was initiated by the Nature Conservancy Council in 1977 to assess, document, and ultimately publish accounts of the most important parts of this rich heritage. The GCR reviews the current state of knowledge of the key earth-science sites in Great Britain and provides a firm basis on which site conservation can be founded in years to come. Each GCR volume describes and assesses networks of sites of national or international importance in the context of a portion of the geological column, or a geological, palaeontological, or mineralogical topic. The full series of approximately 50 volumes will be published by the year 2000. Within each individual volume, every GCR locality is described in detail in a self- contained account, consisting of highlights (a precis of the special interest of the site), an introduction (with a concise history of previous work), a description, an interpretation (assessing the fundamentals of the site's scientific interest and importance), and a conclusion (written in simpler terms for the non-specialist).

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 059, 1922
    MORE SUMMER DAYS ON THE MOUNTAINS.—II. BY WILLIAM BARCLAY, L.D.S. III.—BEINN CREACHAN, BEINN ACHALLADER, BEINN A CHUIRN, BEN VANNOCH. BY nine o'clock next morning (21st June, 1921) we were at the east end of Loch Lyon ; and, standing among the straggling pine-trees at Invermearn, this upper Glen Lyon greatly fascinated us, the loneliness, the absolute stillness, the air of solitude and remoteness being very refreshing. On all sides rose steeply sloping hillsides, grass-covered to their summits, and, though we say it perhaps somewhat selfishly, we were glad that the road ended here and that there was no thoroughfare to the west, glad that there are still some spots left undisturbed to the pedestrian. On the way up the glen we were particularly struck with the fine profile of An Grianan (2,500 feet) above Cashlie (this old farmhouse is now being converted into a shooting lodge) on the one hand, and Meall Ghaordie (3,407 feet) and Creag Laoghain (2,663 feet) on the other, while from Invermearn Beinn Heasgarnich (3,530 feet) rose directly opposite in two long ridges, enclosing in their upper fold the fine north- facing corrie. Our thoughts, however, are not of Heasgarnich to-day, though sixteen years have elapsed since we wandered about its broad summit, but of some Theview-poin Cairngormt from which we can look out oveClubr the wild and dreary moor of Rannoch to the towering mountains of the north and west. At the head of Glen Mearn and only a couple of miles away stands Beinn Creachan (3,540 feet) (pro- nounced Ben a Chrachan) visible from base to summit, one small patch of snow still lingering among the rocks More Summer Days on the Mountains.

  • Issue 140 October 2009
    Nor’ West News The NeWSletter of the Nor’ West Sgurramblers Issue No. 140 – October 2009 www.sgurramblers.org.uk breaking news WHEN IS MUNRO NOT A MUNRO ? As widely reported in the Press and on numerous websites, the Munro Society has undertaken new measurements (using the most modern technology) of a number of Scottish hills whose heights had previously been measured as on the borderline between Munro and Corbett status. The results announced recently are that: Sgurr a' Choire-bheithe 913.32m remains a Corbett Ben Vane 915.76m remains a Munro Beinn Teallach 914.60m remains a Munro Sgurr nan Ceannaichean 913.43m is now a Corbett These measurements are understood to have been endorsed by Ordnance Survey and the Scottish Mountaineering Council. The decisions may give rise to mixed feelings amongst those enraptured by the prospect or achievement of “compleating” a round of the Munros only to find the list has changed. All have some merit - whether or not they are Munros. Sgurr a’ Choire-bheithe would have been an attractive addition to the Munro Tables. Ben Vane has some interesting crags and is served by a foot-worn path which demands the walker’s attention. Beinn Teallach is less interesting but its demotion would be mourned by many of those who have made the effort to walk over its grassy slopes. But it is the demotion of Sgurr nan Ceannaichean (elevated to Munro status only in 1981) which has attracted nearly all the public comment. This is a hill which looks shapely only from near Gerry’s Place and is more attractive as a position from which to photograph hills to its north and west.

The relevant OS 1:50K map number is given, with the grid reference of the starting point of the walks. Suggestions for other walks in the same area are welcome. It is club policy that each walk will include an experienced member. Walk distances and heights of ascent are estimates. Gaelic translations are in italics. The programmed walks and routes are flexible. Other walks and/or routes in the same area may be undertaken by some or all of the members who attend. Coordinators For each outing, we have a “walk coordinator”. See the Walks Programme to find out who this is. The coordinator is not a leader, and members should not expect to be led on a club walk.
