    Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 3 Generation, Sifting and Appraisal of Interventions Annex 1 Initial Appraisal Intervention 135: New Rail Line between Wemyss Bay and Largs Estimated total Public Sector Funding Requirement: Capital Costs/grant £100m - £500m - - - - - - 0 + ++ +++ Summary Impact Improve Journey Times and Connections on Key Strategic Reduce Emissions Outcomes Improve Quality, Accessibility and Affordability (Judgement based on available information against a 7pt. scale.) Intervention Description: Construction of a new direct rail link between Wemyss Bay and Largs. Summary: Rationale for Not Progressing The benefits of this intervention, at a strategic level, are considered to be relatively small as this only provides a small increase in capacity. Alternative rail-based interventions are more likely to contribute to the objective of increasing capacity and reducing journey times between Glasgow and Inverclyde/Ayrshire and would represent a better solution in terms of value for money. Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 3 Generation, Sifting and Appraisal of Interventions Annex 1 Table C135.1.1 STPR Objectives STPR Objectives STPR Objective 1: 1: Positive - The construction of new direct rail link between Wemyss Bay and Largs would facilitate more efficient use of the railway network through Inverclyde and Ayrshire, by permitting two trains per hour to run from To Increase capacity and reduce journey times by public transport Glasgow to Largs and Ardrossan via Wemyss Bay. This would help to increase capacity and reduce journey between Glasgow and Inverclyde. times by public transport. STPR Objective 2: 2: Neutral – A direct rail link between Wemyss Bay and Largs would not have any significant impact on facilitating freight access to Greenock port.

  • Bute Bird Report 2012
    Bute Bird Report 2014 Compiled by Doug Menzies (Assisted by R. W. Forrester and I. Hopkins) This is the third annual Bute Bird Report. This report is a record of bird sightings on the Isle of Bute, including Inchmarnock and the Burnt Islands, for the period 1 January to 31 December 2014. It is produced principally from records submitted to the Bute Bird Group web site and logged on its recent sightings pages. It updates The Birds of Bute (2012), which detailed all bird records on Bute to the end of 2011 and follows the Bute Bird Report 2013 (2014). Thanks are given to all contributors of records for this report. This report includes species that were not recorded on Bute during 2014 but have been recorded in recent years on more than five occasions. During 2014 a total of 147 species were recorded on Bute. This is 2 species less than were recorded in 2013. Notable omissions from this year are Woodcock, which undoubtedly occurs in small numbers and Golden Plover a bird that is usually seen at some time during the year. The Bute list now stands at 215 species. One of the highlights of this year was a pair of Garganey first observed on Greenan Loch by Ian Hopkins on 23 April. This pair was seen frequently by a number of local birders until they were last recorded on 28 April. This was only the 2nd Figure 1: Garganey (male) at Greenan record of this species Loch on 23 April, D Menzies. for Bute, the first being a male photographed at the Kirk Dam on 27 April 2000 by Norrie Mulholland.

    56 Transactions of the Buteshire Natural History Society vol XXVII (2008) The Ships’ Bells in the Bute Museum: their Provenance and History Ian Maclagan The three ships’ bells in the Bute Museum are connected to each other and to HMS Varbel, the name given to The Kyles of Bute Hydropathic in Port Bannatyne which served as the headquarters of the 12th Submarine Flotilla during World War II. The 12th Submarine Flotilla operated Britain’s midget submarines and human torpedoes or chariots. The oldest of the three bells1 is of solid brass. Its clapper has an elaborately knotted rope handle. The bell is mounted in a varnished mahogany stand or tabernacle2 across the top of which is carved in block capitals HMS Varbel 1942. The letters and numbers are picked out in gold on a mid blue background. Inscribed on the bell in block capitals is the name of the ship to which it originally belonged, namely London Merchant of 1923. The bell from SS London Merchant.
