    Highland NHS Board 2 December 2014 Item 4.1 PROPOSED REDESIGN OF SERVICES IN SKYE, LOCHALSH AND SOUTH WEST ROSS Report by Gill McVicar, Director of Operations (North and West) and Maimie Thompson, Head of Public Relations and Engagement on behalf of Deborah Jones, Chief Operating Officer The Board is asked to: Consider the detailed report on the feedback from the three month public consultation into proposed major service change. Note the feedback from the Scottish Health Council endorsing the options appraisal and consultation process. Endorse the recommendation in support of the preferred option – to develop a Community ‘Hub’ in Broadford and a ‘Spoke’ in Portree. Note the next steps and the requirement for any decision on proposed major service change to be considered by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing. 1 Background and Summary This paper reflects the culmination of a huge amount of work which has taken place over the past five years as part of a comprehensive engagement exercises with communities in Skye, Lochalsh and South West Ross (part of North and West Operational Unit). In particular it highlights the main findings from the formal three month public consultation exercise but touches on the earlier options appraisal process. Within Skye, Lochalsh and South West Ross, some services are not adequately resourced making them not as safe, effective or efficient as they need to be to meet future demands. In addition the two local community hospitals are not in good physical condition and not designed to meet modern standards. It is increasingly difficult to maintain and sustain the current hospital services due to the condition of the facilities, availability of staff and the cost.

  • Gravestone Symbols and Scottish Families!!
    GRAVESTONE SYMBOLS AND SCOTTISH FAMILIES!! By aaa, bbb, ccc Introduction . In this PowerPoint we will be talking about the Scottish families and death gravestone symbols. We would be very grateful if you held all your question till the end thank you and enjoy ☺☺ Clan Ross . Clan Ross is a Highland Scottish clan. The original chiefs of the clan were the original Earls of Ross. The ross logo is ‘success nourishes hope’ but nowadays people just say ‘success breeds success’ . Some castles of the ross clan are: Balconie castle, Shandwick castle and Hawk head castle. Their badge is a hand holding a juniper. Clan Munro . Clan Munro is a Highland Scottish clan. Historically the clan was based in Easter Ross in the Scottish Highlands. Traditional origins of the clan give its founder as Donald Munro who came from the north of Ireland and settled in Scotland in the eleventh century. The first proven clan chief on record however is Robert de Munro who died in 1369. The clan chiefs have always been seated at Foulis Castle and styled "of Foulis". During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the Munros feuded with their neighbours the Clan Mackenzie, and during the seventeenth century many Munros fought in the Thirty Years' War in support of Protestantism . The clan produced some of the finest troops from the highlands. Clan Mackenzie . The Mackenzies were of Celtic stock and were not among the clans that originated from Norman ancestors. They are believed to be related to Clan Matheson and Clan Anrias, all three descending from the 12th century Gilleoin of the Aird.

Xonoon GIBBINGS & COY., LTD., 18 Bury Street, w.c. 190 0. TO Sir KENNETH MATHESON, Bart. OF LOCHALSH, A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE, BRAVE, AND STALWART OF HIGHLAND FAMILIES. PREFACE. The first edition of the late Mr Mackenzie's "History of the Mathesons" appeared in 1882, and the book has now been long out of print. Mr Mackenzie had a difficult task in writing this work, for though the Clan in the 14th century undoubtedly rivalled in position and power the neighbouring Mackenzies, yet through the action of the Macdonalds in the following century its unity was broken, and it became a " minor clan," with no charters, and with no references thereto in public documents. The individual history of the Northern Clans at best begins with the 15th century, but here Mr Mackenzie had only the clan traditions to avail himself of until the 17th century, when the minor clans all over the North come into the light of history from under the shadow of the larger clans and their chiefs.

  • The Macraes of Strathglass
    CLAN MACRAE SOCIETY O F C A N A D A ONLINE THE MACRAES OF STRAT HGLASS by Peter A. MacRae Part I: INTRODUCTION Before setting out this brief history, it is important to set certain matters straight. First, consider the name and spelling of 'MacRae': the spelling used here, it is conceded, is the modern evolved version, which is ordinarily met with in most accounts since the turn of the century. It is the same family whether spelled 'McRae' or 'Macrae' which are the commonest Highland variants. It's simply a matter of style or custom. (The writer's own family has frequent occurrences of all three spellings) Outside the Highlands, the spellings '(Mc)MacCrae,' '(Mc)MacCrea' are often encountered. Sometimes the 'Mac/Mc' is dropped altogether especially where a migrant settled in an area hostile to Scottish culture, and the names (C)Rae, (C)Rea, Crow, Craw originated. In olden times the name was 'Mc' or 'MacRath' and in old Strathglass records it is found variously as 'McRa, McCra(e), McKray' amongst others since there was no standardised spelling into English from its Gaelic root. The Gaelic MacRath (pronounced 'MacCra') is not a patronymic. It is thought to have an ecclesiastical origin and is recorded in Ireland as far back as 448 AD. The patronymic of the main recorded branch of the MacRaes is 'MacGillechriosd 'or 'McGilchrist'. Translated this means 'son of the servant of Christ' or 'son of Christopher' which is broadly analogous to 'McRath' which means 'son of grace'. The patronymic occurs generally as a Christian name in the MacRaes although in Strathglass it was used as a surname both with and without the clan name.

  • Appropriate Assessment of the Policies and Proposals Has Been Undertaken, Under the Provisions of Article 6(3) and (4) of the Habitats Directive 1992**
    West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Habitats Regulations Appraisal (including Appropriate Assessment) of the West Highland & Islands Local Plan Finalised Version (September 2010) 1 West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Foreword This document has been prepared under the requirements of the EU Habitats Directive and has applied the requirements set out by Scottish Government Policy. It is the Highland Council’s responsibility to consider whether the policies and proposals within the West Highland & Islands Local Plan are likely to have any significant effect on Special Protection Areas (including proposed SPAs), Special Areas of Conservation (including proposed SACs) and Ramsar sites, having regard to the qualifying interests and conservation objectives of those sites. Where a likely significant effect has been identified, appropriate assessment has been undertaken in order to try to ascertain whether the policies and proposals will adversely affect the integrity of the sites protected by the EU Directive and Scottish Government Policy (“the sites”). Mitigation measures have been provided where necessary in order to avoid adversely affecting the integrity of the sites. This has involved making changes to the Plan where necessary. The Council now believes that the Plan’s policies and proposals will not adversely affect the integrity of the sites. We have successfully concluded with certainty that that is the case. During the preparation of this document and the consideration of relevant representations on the Local Plan the Highland Council had discussions with and input from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in particular which helped identify and address any potential shortcomings.
