Situation Achnandarrach sits in a highly sought after elevated position high above Craobh Haven Marina. The property boasts the most spectacular southerly views down to Scarba, Jura and Islay, and out towards the north west to the Isle of Mull. Craobh Haven offers a village shop, a chandlery, an excellent bar and restaurant and has one of the best marina facilities in the country. The district is well served by a fine range of local country pubs, restaurants and hotels, all of which usually sell local seafood and seasonal produce. Arduaine Garden, about 3 miles to the north of Craobh Haven, is famous in the district, originally conceived by J. Arthur Campbell who also built the award winning Loch Melfort Hotel. The gardens are extensive but retain the intimacy of a private garden. The main west coast town of Oban is about 21 miles to the north and Lochgilphead is about 17 miles to the south; both offer a much wider range of shopping, professional and leisure services. A local bus service runs between Oban and Lochgilphead and Oban has a mainline railway station with a service connecting to Glasgow. The waters off the west coast of Scotland are famed for challenging sailing and stunning scenery. The sheltered marina at Craobh Haven is well known among the sailing community and has always drawn yachts and boating craft to its pretty and safe anchorage. The surrounding countryside provides an abundance of outdoor and sporting activities including hill walking and mountain biking. Oban, Lochgilphead and Ardfern provide sea fishing, wildlife boat trips plus sailing and ferry access to the west coast islands. Description Achnandarrach is a fantastic, detached home situated in a prime elevated setting above Craobh Haven Marina. The property is modern in construction and was designed to maximise the stunning views which can be enjoyed from both the property and its gardens. The accommodation is set over two floors with the drawing room situated on the upper level to capitalise on the outstanding outlook. The entrance vestibule opens into the hallway which in turn leads to the ground floor accommodation. There is a spacious kitchen with a large range cooker, breakfast island and a useful utility room. A conservatory is located off the kitchen, with panoramic views, ample space for a dining table and chairs and direct access to the gardens. There is a further conservatory and workshop off the kitchen, to the other side. There are two double bedrooms, one with a large store room off, a study/further bedroom and a family bathroom, all conveniently at ground level. A turned staircase leads to the first floor. The upper landing is open to a superb drawing room with vaulted ceiling. The full glass gable end on the south western elevation floods the room with light and offers breathtaking views over the marina and Sound of Jura towards the Isles of Scarba, Jura, Islay and Mull. Sliding doors open onto a balcony which has a wonderful aspect over the gardens and coastline. There is a further double bedroom, shower room and storage cupboards on this floor. Gardens and Grounds The property sits in a generous garden plot of approximately 0.54 acres. The gardens are mainly laid to grass, with areas of planting and mature trees which offer a degree of privacy, without compromising the view.

  • Scientific Advice on Matters Related to the Management of Seal Populations: 2015
    Main Advice Scientific Advice on Matters Related to the Management of Seal Populations: 2015 Contents Executive Summary Scientific Advice ANNEX I Terms of reference and membership of SCOS ANNEX II Questions from Marine Scotland, Defra and Natural Resources, Wales ANNEX III Briefing papers for SCOS 2015 1 Main Advice Executive Summary Under the Conservation of Seals Act 1970 and the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) has a duty to provide scientific advice to government on matters related to the management of seal populations. NERC has appointed a Special Committee on Seals (SCOS) to formulate this advice. Questions on a wide range of management and conservation issues are received from the UK government and devolved administrations. In 2015, 18 questions were addressed by SCOS. Current status of British grey seals Grey seal population trends are assessed from the counts of pups born during the autumn breeding season, when females congregate on land to give birth. The most recent surveys of the Scottish grey seal breeding sites were carried out in 2014. Results and pup production estimates for all colonies will be presented to SCOS in 2016. Thus the most recent available pup production estimates for 2015 are from surveys carried out in 2012. These resulted in an estimate of 56,988 (95% CI 56,317, 57,683). This is then converted to an estimate of total population size (1+ aged population) using a mathematical model. The population dynamics model trajectories were projected forward and added to the estimated numbers of animals associated with the less frequently surveyed breeding colonies to give an estimate of 111,600 (95% CI 91,400-139,200) UK grey seals in 2014.

  • LSC Cruising Notes, May 2017
    1 Largs Sailing Club Cruising Group Cruising Notes May 2017 These notes are a collation of comments and experiences of our members over many years of cruising the Firth of Clyde, and beyond, and the Crinan and Caledonian Canals. The notes are intended to supplement (not replace!) the relevant pilot books and charts, and the excellent (and free) "Welcome Anchorages" booklet, which is updated annually, and is widely available in marinas and chandlers. Note however that rather contrary to its title, Welcome Anchorages does not include many anchorages where there is no commercial outlet ashore. The notes are by no means comprehensive - we can't cover every destination and anchorage in this wonderful sailing area! Compiled by Ann and Gordon Cochrane, Maxi 1100 "Night Owl", from contributions by numerous members of the cruising group. Further contributions (and any corrections) and are very welcome - [email protected] Chart snips courtesy of Welcome Anchorages, by permission from HMSO. All information given is based on the personal experience of LSC cruising group members, and is not intended to represent the view of Largs Sailing Club. All information is given in good faith, but skippers are responsible for the safety of their vessel and crew, taking into account wind, weather, tide etc. Largs SC Cruising Group - Cruising Notes - May 2017 2 TEMPORARY PAGE! Since we sent out the first draft in August 2016, we've had over 90 contributions from members, which is fantastic. It's rather invidious to single out anyone in particular for their contributions, but a particular mention has to be made of Freddie Moran, who has passed on a huge amount of information from his and Hilary's long experience of cruising the west coast and Irish Sea in "Arctic Tern" and their previous boats.
