Feasibility Study
for Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre Community Trust April 2020 Broch Field Feasibility Study Strathyre, Stirlingshire Broch Field Feasibility Study determined that the improvements to the landscape of the site, which can only be achieved through community ownership, would create an attractive Strathyre, Stirlingshire for BLS Community Trust and vibrant space which would balance with the additional burden of care required. These improvements would also have the potential to introduce additional use and income streams into the community. Summary The undertaking of a feasibility study to investigate potential for community ownership of the Broch Field, Strathyre, was awarded to Munro Landscape by the Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre (BLS) Community Trust. Community surveys, undertaken by BLS, confirmed a strong desire to take ownership of the field, which is utilised as a ‘village green’ for the local area and hosts regular community events. Key themes emanating from the survey results were taken forward to this study for assessment for viability. A concept proposals plans was produced to explore the potential for a reimagining of the current use of the field and enhancement of existing features. This was developed alongside investigations into the viability of each aspirational project and detailed costings breakdown. Overall conclusions from this study are that the Broch field is a much- needed community asset, with regular use and potential for sensitive, low- key community development. Expansion of the current facilities would support both local the community and visitors to the village and area. Implementation of landscaping improvements can be undertaken in conjunction with the introduction of facilities for the provision of a motorhome stopover, which would assist in supporting the ongoing costs of managing the site. -
Strathyre and Loch Earn
STRATHYRE AND LOCH EARN SPECIAL QUALITIES OF BREADALBANE STRATHYRE & LOCH EARN Key Features Small flats strips of farmland around watercourses Open upland hills Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’Chroin Loch Lubnaig and Loch Earn Pass of Leny Glen Ogle Landmark historic buildings and heritage sites including Edinample Castle and Dundurn Pictish Hill Fort Summary of Evaluation Sense of Place The visual/sense of place qualities are important. The open upland hills dominate much of this area, with Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’ Chroin the highest peaks, creating an open and vast sense of place with diverse features such as rocky outcrops and scree. Although open uplands are characteristic of much of the highland area of the Park they are distinctive in the Breadalbane area as being generally higher and more unbroken with distinct exposed upper slopes. Loch Earn and Loch Lubnaig are the two main lochs in the area and both have quite distinct characters. Loch Lubnaig is enclosed by heavily planted glen sides and rugged craggy hills such as Ben Ledi and the loch shores are largely undeveloped. Loch Earn in contrast is broad in expanse and flanked by steep hills to the north and south. There are areas of residential, recreational and commercial development along areas of the north and south shore. The flat glen floors are a focus for communication routes and settlement. The flat strips of farmland around the watercourses provide an enclosed landscape which contrasts with the surrounding hills. Cultural Heritage The cultural heritage of the area is of high importance with substantial evidence of continuity of use of the landscape. -

River Forth Catchment Profile
Published September 2011 River Forth catchment profile Introduction The River Forth catchment encompasses a large area – approximately 1029 km2. As can be seen in Figure 1, the catchment not only contains the River Forth itself, but also major tributaries such as the River Teith. Figure 1: River Forth catchment Land-use within the catchment is predominantly rural, comprising managed forests and farmland. The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park covers a significant portion of the upper reaches of the catchment. In the lower-lying reaches, a greater degree of urbanisation can be seen with the City of Stirling and surrounding villages, interspersed with agricultural holdings. Water resources are important within this catchment with the lochs and reservoirs serving important functions in the supply of drinking water – indeed Loch Katrine plays a vital role in providing Glasgow with much of its water. In addition, the development of small-scale micro hydro generation schemes are increasing within the catchment. The catchment contains 46 baseline1 surface water bodies, six of which are heavily modified. These heavily modified water bodies have been designated because of the modifications necessary to enable the supply of drinking water. There are five groundwater bodies associated with the catchment. Further information on the River Forth catchment can be found on the RBMP interactive map. 1 A baseline water body is a river which drains a catchment greater than 10km 2, lochs bigger than 0.5km2, all coastal waters out to three nautical miles, transitional waters such as estuaries and groundwaters. A non-baseline water body is a river or loch which falls below the size threshold. -
