    PROPOSED REPORT BY THE STANDARDS COMMISSIONER ON THE COMPLAINT AGAINST COUNCILLOR MICHAEL BRESLIN (LA/AB/1758/JM) Witness Statement by Dr C M Mason, MBE Appendix 4 The Actual Reality Trust Ardentinny Outdoor Education Centre Argyll Please reply to: 1/1 Barcapel Avenue Newton Mearns G77 6QJ Telephone 0141 384 7979 Mobile 0781 585 1775 email: [email protected] 30 November 2013 Mrs Sally Loudon Chief Executive Argyll and Bute Council by email Dear Mrs. Loudon Audit Scotland and Castle Toward - clarification As you know, Mr. McKinlay copied me into the email he sent you yesterday afternoon. I do not think there can be any doubt that Mr. McKinlay has now very clearly put on record three important facts: 1. The scope of Audit Scotland’s work on Actual Reality and Castle Toward was limited to the sales of Castle Toward and Ardentinny; and it was only the results of that work which were given in the annual audit report to elected members and to the Controller of Audit. 2. You have known about this limitation all along because the scope of Audit Scotland’s work was agreed in an exchange of letters between you and Fiona Mitchell-Knight in February this year. 3. Audit Scotland accordingly did not carry out any detailed audit work on the allegations that we have made about the closure of Castle Toward in 2009 and they are “therefore not in a position to comment on the substance or otherwise of them”. My purpose in writing to you now is to ask you to account for the claims made in the name of the Council, that Audit Scotland have supported, confirmed, or validated Council officers’ position that our allegations about the events of 2009 have no substance.

  • South Cowal Community Festival 2015 9Th May to 17Th May
    South Cowal Community Festival 2015 9th May to 17th May Promoted by South Cowal Community Council See our new Facebook page www.facebook.com/southcowalcommunityfestival Saturday 9th May Coffee Morning Innellan Village Hall 10am to 12 midday Proceeds to Sandy Beach Development Open Gardens Afternoon On our opening day, four gardens in Innellan will be opened to the public. This should appeal to those who like gardening, walking or photography as three of the gardens are accessed from one of Innellan's highest spots, Knockamillie Terrace, whilst the fourth is high up off the Shore Road. The views from all four gardens are tremendous and worth the trek up for that reason alone. The gardens are not 'show gardens' - just interesting and usually colourful! Parking on Knockamillie Terrace is restricted so it is probably best to park near Innellan church and walk up Knockamillie Road by the side of Innellan Primary School. The gardens involved are Merkland, Klaus and Avon Cottage on Knockamillie Terrace and St Abbs on the Shore Road, near Ardyne Terrace. All will be well signposted! Opening times for the 3 Knockamillie Terrace gardens will be 2 - 4.30pm whilst St Abbs will be open between 12 - 3pm. A cup of tea will be available if requested! Please note all gardens are on a hill, with steps and some steep inclines and so, unfortunately, are not suitable for anyone who has mobility problems. Your visit to the gardens is at your own risk. For further information phone 01369 830 793 Toward Sailing Club Community Beach Clean and BBQ Meet at Clubhouse @ 1.30pm All Welcome.

    22_578626 ch15.qxd 3/14/05 10:03 AM Page 283 Chapter 15 Ayrshire and Argyll In This Chapter ᮣ Getting to Ayrshire and Argyll ᮣ Seeking out the best places to stay and eat ᮣ Discovering the Burns Heritage Trail, Culzean Castle, the Isle of Arran, and more ᮣ Hittin’ the links in Troon and Turnberry ᮣ Shopping for local goodies and finding the best pubs he region of Ayshire stretches from the southern and western Tfringes of Glasgow south to southwest along the Firth of Clyde. Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter.
