We recall with undiminished pleasure and gratitude the visit of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh to our last General Assembly, and the gracious words addressed to us by Your Majesty on that occasion. We rejoiced at the enthusiastic welcome accorded to His Royal Highness Prince Charles at his investiture as Prince of Wales, and share the pleasure of Your Majesty’s subjects everywhere at the increasing part which he, and Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, are taking in the public life of the nation and Commonwealth. The recent visit of Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret to the West Highlands of Scotland gave great pleasure to Your Majesty’s subjects in those parts, and has left with them a happy memory. We have followed with prayerful interest the recent visits of Your Majesty and members of Your Royal Household to New Zealand, Australia and other parts of the Commonwealth, and give thanks to Almighty God for His preserving care of You in all Your journeys. In days of widespread turbulence and unrest, we praise God for the stability of Your Majesty’s Throne, and for the many qualities by which Your Majesty commands the 6 affectionate loyalty of Your subjects. We anew commend Your Majesty and the nation to the Word of God’s grace, praying that those Christian values which have given stability to the nation and Throne in the past may continue among us with strength renewed, to the glory of God and the good of the Realm. We ask leave, through Your Majesty, to pay our respects to His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and the Princes and Princess of the Royal Household.

Description The four traditional croft style houses at Sand are an exclusive development commended by Scottish Natural Heritage for its likeness to how a croft may have been laid out historically. The cottages sit in generous grounds of over 1 acre each and have been sensitively designed to take advantage of their unique location and outlook. The Celtic house names reflect their individually unique position within the development: Meriel ( Shining Sea ) benefits from an unobstructed sea view, Tieve ( Hillside ) nestles the hillside overlooking the sea, Kelby ( Place by flowing water ) enjoys the backdrop of a stunning waterfall and finally Torrin ( From the hills ) emerges from a peaceful corner embracing the natural beauty of the pine trees beyond. The finishes are of the highest standard and incorporate drystone walls, double chimneys, hand crafted Caithness slab window sills, pitched slate roofs, vaulted timber ceilings, solid oak floorboards, hand made crafting style double glazed windows and traditional Morso wood burning stove. Meriel Tieve & Kelby Sand, Laide, Achnasheen IV22 2ND Grounds The development is ring fenced with stock-proof and deer-proof fencing with internal fences at the discretion of the individual owners.

  • Access and Transport Baseline Report 2019
    Access and Transport Baseline Report 2019 Produced as part of the Wester Ross Destination Development Plan preliminary research Context Upwards of an estimated c.100,000 tourists visit Wester Ross each year, sustaining local communities through their input to the local economy and tourism accounts for 35% of employment[1]. However, in the current climate (Summer 2019) there are concerns that a rise in tourism of up to 27% (estimate[2]) over the past few years may not be sustainable. Although a different perspective is that this has followed a deep recession in the tourism industry and visitor numbers have yet to return to the high levels enjoyed during the 1990s, the current situation is exacerbated by Local Authority and Public Agency budget cuts which have resulted in plans to close public toilets and a deterioration in road quality. In addition, the type of visitor has changed, Wester Ross is welcoming large amounts of campervans which require waste disposal facilities which are not yet in place. Local people are reporting over-flowing carparks and bins, increasing litter pollution and irresponsible behaviour. It is not unusual for local residents to cite increased litter as a negative aspect of tourism[3] and this together with other perceived negative impacts can become challenging to tourism development as the host community begin to view visitors less than favourably. Therefore, the World Tourism Organisation advises regions to adopt a model for tourism management which considers the social as well as economical and environmental impacts of tourism[4]. Mass tourism is not going away[5]. But currently, there is no hard-empirical evidence on visitor numbers, expectations and behaviour or condition of assets in Wester Ross which would allow communities, businesses, local authorities and public agencies to plan proactively.

  • Parish Profile Contin Linked with Fodderty and Strathpeffer
    Parish Profile Contin Linked with Fodderty and Strathpeffer Introduction Thank you for taking the time to read this, the profile of our parishes of Contin linked with Fodderty and Strathpeffer. We are two parishes forming part of the Presbytery of Ross, located within the ancient county of Ross-shire, now part of the modern Highland Region. The Communities Contin Parish is one of the largest parishes in Scotland and comprises the Contin and Kinlochluichart churches. There is a church at Strathconon but regular services are no longer held there. In the east of the parish lies the very fertile farmland of the Conon and Blackwater Valley, in which the village of Contin is set, near to the confluence of the Conon and Blackwater Rivers. To the south west, the west and north west, lies the much more rugged and less populous hill and mountain country of Strathconon, Garve, Lochluichart and Achnasheen, Inchbae and Aultguish, which many regards as one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland. Contin village is about 20 miles from Inverness or 8 miles from Dingwall and lies on the popular North Coast 500 tourist route as does Lochluichart. Contin village has a busy shop and at time of writing, the ground had just been broken for the new community hall. There are successful hotels in Contin, Achnasheen and Aultguish. Kinlochluichart church was built by Thomas Telford in 1825 and is a grade II listed building. The church lies about a mile west of Lochluichart village. It is currently being refurbished with good disabled access and toilet facilities, which also provide a comfortable meeting space which can be accessed by the local community.

  • And DISTRICT
    Guide to GAIRLOCH and DISTRICT Loch Torridon to Little Loch Broom : West of the Moine Thrust 1 This Guide aims to cover everything which can be seen and done along the A832 road from Kinlochewe to Dundonnell, and its seven side roads. This is the central part of Wester Ross, which is roughly defined as the region between Lochcarron and Achiltibuie. Its eastern boundary is an important geological feature, the Moine Thrust (p36). As you drive west along the A832, either from Achnasheen in the south or from Braemore Junction in the north, you cross into a different kind of landscape where the oldest rocks in Britain survive: a rugged and beautiful land of lochs and steep mountains. Most people here live on the coast; Kinlochewe is the only major exception. Most of the settlements are “townships”, originating as scattered groups of crofts, each consisting of a stone cottage on 4 or 5 acres of land. The largest centre of population and main service centre is Gairloch, and this Guide imagines that you are based there. This spectacular corner of Scotland, because it lies between the trunk road to Ullapool and the road to Skye, is often overlooked. As visitors will soon discover, it does not deserve to be! It contains most of the largest National Scenic Area (NSA) in Scotland. The many highlights include the Torridon Hills, the Great Wilderness, Loch Maree, Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve, and Inverewe Garden. Then there are fine coastlines with many beaches, unique geology (p36), interesting history and archaeology (p34-5), wildlife (p33), and in this guide over 60 walks.
