Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015
Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation. -
Further Studies of a Staggered Hybrid Zone in Musmusculus Domesticus (The House Mouse)
Heredity 71 (1993) 523—531 Received 26 March 1993 Genetical Society of Great Britain Further studies of a staggered hybrid zone in Musmusculus domesticus (the house mouse) JEREMYB. SEARLE, YOLANDA NARAIN NAVARRO* & GUILA GANEMI Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS,U.K. Inthe extreme north-east of Scotland (near the village of Joim o'Groats) there is a small karyotypic race of house mouse (2n= 32), characterized by four metacentric chromosomes 4.10, 9.12, 6.13 and 11.14. We present new data on the hybrid zone between this form and the standard race (2n =40)and show an association between race and habitat. In a transect south of John o'Groats we demonstrate that the dines for arm combinations 4.10 and 9.12 are staggered relative to the dines for 6.13 and 11.14, confirming previous data collected along an east—west transect (Searle, 1991). There are populations within the John o'Groats—standard hybrid zone dominated by individuals with 36 chromosomes (homozygous for 4.10 and 9.12), which may represent a novel karyotypic form that has arisen within the zone. Alternatively the type with 36 chromosomes may have been the progenitor of the John o'Groats race. Additional cytogenetic interest is provided by the occur- rence of a homogeneous staining region on one or both copies of chromosome 1 in some mice from the zone. Keywords:chromosomalvariation, hybrid zones, Mus musculus domesticus, Robertsonian fusions, staggered dines. Introduction (Rb) fusion of two ancestral acrocentrics with, for Thestandard karyotype of the house mouse consists of instance, metacentric 4.10 derived by fusion of acro- 40 acrocentric chromosomes. -

Excavations at the Early and Later Medieval Site of Ballachly, Dunbeath, Caithness, 2007–10 Lloyd Laing*, Edward Oakley†, Anne E Sassin‡ and Imogen Tompsett§
Proc Soc Antiq Scot 143 (2013), 265–302EXCAVATIONS AT BALLACHLY, DUNBEATH, CAITHNEss, 2007–10 | 265 Excavations at the early and later medieval site of Ballachly, Dunbeath, Caithness, 2007–10 Lloyd Laing*, Edward Oakley†, Anne E Sassin‡ and Imogen Tompsett§ ABSTRACT Excavation and field survey at Ballachly, Dunbeath, Caithness in 2007–10 produced evidence which suggests the existence of a possibly early medieval and later Norse site centred around the hillock known as Chapel Hill, on top of which is located an, as of yet, indeterminate unicameral stone building. The site, already well-known for its Early Christian inscribed stones, lay within a substantial stone-walled enclosure of late medieval to early post-medieval date, possibly constructed to enclose an undeveloped burgh of barony, thought to be Magnusburgh, which was reported to have been licensed in 1624. Although most of the enclosed area did not yield evidence of occupation, two separate areas at the base of the hillock produced evidence for medieval industrial activity, including ironworking and a cobbled possible working surface. This activity post-dated a palaeo-channel, possibly reused as a ditch, and substantial stone wall, forming a possible boundary enclosure, whose lower-lying area has since been heavily disturbed by flooding and subsequent agricultural activity. Evidence of the site’s association with an early monastery was not substantiated, though the site’s character still suggests a former centre of some importance.

Printed in Northern Ireland Volume 150 Celebration Paper Unravelling dates through the ages: geochronology of the Scottish metamorphic complexes G. ROGERS 1 & R.J. PANKHURST 2 l lsotope Geology Unit, Scottish Universities Research and Reactor Centre, East Kilbride, Glasgow G75 OQU, UK 2British Antarctic Survey, c/o NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, Kingsley Dunham Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG, UK Abstract: The paper by Giletti et al. (1961) is seen as a major landmark in the evolution of dating techniques in polymetamorphic terrains. We consider certain critical issues from each of the main complexes of the Scottish Highlands studied by Giletti et al. to illustrate how subsequent develop- ments in geochronological methodology have influenced our understanding of metamorphic belts. Lewisian examples focus on the formation of Archaean crust, and the age of the main high-grade metamorphism and the Scourie dyke swarm. The antiquity of Moinian sedimentation, its relationship to the Torridonian sandstones, and the timing of Precambrian metamorphism have been controversial issues. The timing and nature of Caledonian orogenesis, most clearly expressed in the Dalradian complex, have been the focal points for the refinement of radiometric investigation. These complexes have been subject to successive developments in methodology, with ever-tighter constraints from Rb-Sr and K-Ar mineral dating, through Rb-Sr and Pb-Pb whole-rock studies, U-Pb dating of bulk zircon fractions, and Sm-Nd whole-rock and mineral investigation, up to the latest technologies of single-grain zircon and ion microprobe analysis. -
Mapping Farmland Wader Distributions and Population Change to Identify Wader Priority Areas for Conservation and Management Action
Mapping farmland wader distributions and population change to identify wader priority areas for conservation and management action Scott Newey1*, Debbie Fielding1, and Mark Wilson2 1. The James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen, AB15 8QH 2. The British Trust for Ornithology Scotland, Stirling, FK9 4NF * [email protected] Introduction Many birds have declined across Scotland and the UK as a whole (Balmer et al. 2013, Eaton et al. 2015, Foster et al. 2013, Harris et al. 2017). These include five species of farmland wader; oystercatcher, lapwing, curlew, redshank and snipe. All of these have all been listed as either red or amber species on the UK list of birds of conservation concern (Harris et al. 2017, Eaton et al. 2015). Between 1995 and 2016 both lapwing and curlew declined by more than 40% in the UK (Harris et al. 2017). The UK harbours an estimated 19-27% of the curlew’s global breeding population, and the curlew is arguably the most pressing bird conservation challenge in the UK (Brown et al. 2015). However, the causes of wader declines likely include habitat loss, alteration and homogenisation (associated strongly with agricultural intensification), and predation by generalist predators (Brown et al. 2015, van der Wal & Palmer 2008, Ainsworth et al. 2016). There has been a concerted effort to reverse wader declines through habitat management, wader sensitive farming practices and predator control, all of which are likely to benefit waders at the local scale. However, the extent and severity of wader population declines means that large scale, landscape level, collaborative actions are needed if these trends are to be halted or reversed across much of these species’ current (and former) ranges. -
