It extends along the north-east to south-west Caledonian strike of the A reconnaissance geochemical drainage survey of Middle and Upper Dalradian rocks from Tyndrum 720 km2 of Dalradian outcrop in central Argyll to Ardrishaig, and covers a total area of about identified base-metal anomalies in the Pyrite Zone, 720 km2. Ardrishaig Phyllites, Loch Tay Limestone and the Access to the area is by the A82 and A83 trunk Green Beds. Faulting and igneous intrusion roads from Glasgow, and by the Glasgow to Oban modified the distribution of metal content within and Fort William railway line. Limited access by these formations. In the results of the reconnaiss- sea is provided by Loch Fyne to the south, and the ance survey, copper reached maxima of 170 ppm Crinan Canal to the west. and 1454 ppm in stream sediments and panned The physiographical features are controlled by concentrates respectively; lead 1050 ppm and the north-east trending Caledonian grain, modified 2595 ppm; zinc 2500 ppm and 1114 ppm; and in parts by glacial effects. The highest ground is nickel 190 ppm and 998 ppm. Maximum contents located in the north-east where it attains a height of cobalt, uranium and molybdenum in stream of 1130 m on Ben Lui.

  • Inveraray Jail - Prisoner Records
    INVERARAY JAIL - PRISONER RECORDS http://www.inverarayjail.co.uk/ USE THE EDIT / FIND ON TOOLBAR TO SEARCH NAMES and ENTRIES BY TOWN and VILLAGE By tradition and history 'the county town Argyll, Inveraray's courthouse and prisons, designed by James Gillespie Graham in 1813, after original plans by Robert Reid in 1807, opened in 1820 - Whilst Reid's original plans hadd included a courthouse and three prisons - one for males, one for females and one for debtors - The Prison Commissioners, lacking finances, had to be content with building only the courthouse and but one prison, eight cellss contained in its two floors - Following the 1839 Prisons (Scotland) Act, a second prison, separating men and women and designed by Thomas Brown of Edinburgh, was opened at the end of 1848, the new three-storied prison having twelve cells, an exercise gallery and a pair of outdoor exercise yards, the idea of separating male and female prisoners stemming from the somewhat misguided persuasion that such a system gave prisoners time to reflect upon their sins ! After the passing of the 1877 Prisons (Scotland) Act, the responsibility for the running and financing prisons taken away from local authorities, small local prisons were successively closed in favour of large prisons, such as Glasgow's 1882-built Barlinnie Prison and though Inveraray's jail, the last of the small prisons, was closed on August 31, 1889, courts continued to sit in Inveraray's courthouse until around 1954.4. After an extensive programme of restoration was undertaken by The Scottish Office in the 1980's, the building then lying empty for some years, Inveraray Jail was opened to the public as a 'visitor attraction' in May 1989 and the records of more than 4,000 of its Victorian prisoners put online for the interest of family history researchers.

The Chair thanked Councillors Elaine Robertson and Kieron Green for their help and support via email in assisting with issues during the year, which were more challenging due to COVID-19. Declarations of Interest: Seamus Anderson (Scottish Water), Steve Paterson (Seafari) and Peter Dalman (current planning application lodged with A & B council). Minutes of The Previous Meeting Minutes of the meeting held on 28th January 2020 have been approved. Proposed: Guy Knight Seconded: Seumas Anderson Matters Arising Scottish Water (SW) We have been waiting for the Planning Application to be heard but have recently received an email from Scottish Water saying they were going to defer the current application. SW proposed a Zoom meeting to update the community on why they are deferring, and agreed to have two members each from the CC, the stakeholder group and SOS. We will report back following the meeting. It is hoped that moving forward a new or potentially extended stakeholder group will continue in some form or another to reflect the views of the entire community. Lisa Robinson raised concerns about the stakeholder group in the past, and their involvement in the process.

There are many keys to unlocking the potential which will allow our rural communities to thrive, however economic development leading to jobs must be one of the most important As an area of nationally scenic importance, tourism remains one growth element; any development that allows visitors to stop safely for a moment and enhance their holiday experience can only be applauded. Your Community Company's proposal will not only benefit local businesses, but hopefully will encourage the all-important return visits. Yours with best wishes, John Kerr.

Cultural Influences And Perception page 42 Title page photographs, clockwise from top left Loch Katrine from Ben A'an © Lorne Gill/NatureScot Mixed woodland near Aberfoyle © Lorne Gill/NatureScot Killin © George Logan/NatureScot The Inchcailloch ferry, Balmaha © Lorne Gill/NatureScot This document provides information on how the landscape of the local authority area has evolved. It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.

History of Access i. Right of Way Status: None ii. Recorded Access Issues: None iii. History This route was proposed by members of the local community and in 2008 a Feasibility Study was commissioned by the North Argyll Community Trust and funded by Scottish Natural Heritage. Scottish Natural Heritage has since considered this route as part of a feasibility study for a “Pilgrims Way” linking Iona with St Andrews. However neither project has made much progress to date. The most significant issue to solve is that of finding a route through the pass of Brander. Scottish Power Renewables are currently seeking a route for buried cable between Oban and Dalmally and it has been suggested that by combining the two projects it may be possible to deliver the path in the medium term. 4. Site Visit N/A 5. Alternative Route/s N/A 6. Consultation with Objectors & Other Interested Parties i) Houses Loch Awe Village - Path next to houses Davar, Mo Dairach and the Sheiling should be moved higher up the hill. ii) Houses at Tullich - The section of path at Tullich and Anne Lea is too close to these properties iii) Kilchurn Castle to Loch Awe - The section between Loch Awe hotel and Kilchurn Castle should be a core path iv) Forestry - There is concern that core path status will affect the ability of the forestry manager to close the route for health and safety reason.
