  • Argyll and Bute Landscape Wind Energy Capacity Study FINAL
    Argyll and Bute Landscape Wind Energy Capacity Study FINAL APPENDIX REPORT March 2012 ArgyllandButeLandscapeWindEnergyCapacityStudy AppendixReport–DetailedSensitivityAssessments March2012 Carol Anderson and Alison Grant, Landscape Architects Contents 1. Introduction to the sensitivity assessments 2. Detailed sensitivity assessment for landscape character types 3. Detailed sensitivity assessment for National Scenic Areas 2 1 Introduction to the sensitivity assessment 1.1 Sensitivity assessments have been undertaken for each character type and any sub-types defined and for the National Scenic Areas (NSA) as explained in Section 4 of the Main Study Report. 1.2 The sensitivity assessment considers sensitivity of each character type or NSA to four different wind farm/turbine typologies. An introduction to each character type is set out in the sensitivity assessments that follow. This clarifies the approach to assessment in terms of whether the whole landscape character type or sub-divisions of that type have been assessed. It also describes where any changes have been made to the boundaries or classification of character types set out in the Argyll and Firth of Clyde Landscape Assessment. Operational and consented wind farm developments, whether located within the landscape type/unit or in the surrounding area (and clearly visible from the character type being assessed), are described. A similar approach is taken for the NSA assessments although the introduction principally focuses on the description of the designated landscape and its special qualities. 1.3 This Appendix Report contains the detailed sensitivity assessment tables for landscape character types and NSAs (a summary of these only being included in the Main Study Report). The sensitivity scores outlined in the summary of sensitivity are made on the basis of a five point scale; High, High-medium, Medium, Medium-low and Low.

Alan the skipper introduced himself, John the bosun and Andrea the chef before giving us a tour and safety briefing of Seahorse ll - our home for the week. We set sail at 2pm to steam past the Isle of Lismore and up the Sound of Mull with the glorious weather. Guillemots, a lone gannet, distant arctic terns and grey seals brightened the afternoon and we rounded the end of Calve Island to enter Tobermory harbour at 6pm. Lovely garlicky aromas from the galley boded well and, sure enough, tea when it arrived at 7pm was delicious – pork, kale, nut roast, creamy mushrooms and rice with fruit crumble and custard to follow. All washed down with a nice Merlot. Once our food had gone down, Alan ferried us into Tobermory on two RIB journeys. Setting foot on Mull for the first time we did a brief tour of the closed gift shops and sea-front, returning just as the midges were waking up. Bed at 10.00 pm.

Circling Centre, Finding Our Way Home: Circumambulation Pilgrimages around Iona, Mount Tamalpais and Labyrinths Cindy Pavlinac Introduction Pilgrimage requires a journey. Humans are walkers, traversing the landscape seeking adventure and home. Walking pilgrimages along historic routes and concentrated journeys in a labyrinth all involve circling a centre. Places of natural grandeur have long attracted those undertaking journeys to sites of magic, prophecy, safety, hope and the supernatural. The landscape informs the journey and pilgrims notice things that can only be revealed by walking through that specific landscape. The boundaries between inner and outer landscape become blurred as the pilgrim enters an expanded relationship to the self. Walking engages the body while freeing the mind for deep contemplation and potential transformation. Following a labyrinth, a nature trail, or a saint’s footsteps requires surrendering control and trusting the journey.
