  • A Lap of Loch Ness on Mountain Bike Tracks and Quiet Roads
    A Lap of Loch Ness on mountain bike tracks and quiet roads with the Highlands’ bike hire experts 1 www.TicketToRideHighlands.co.uk a Lap of the Loch Around Loch Ness by bike on mountain tracks and quiet roads A four day tour around one of the most beautiful lochs in Scotland and certainly the most famous in the world, combining some strenuous off­road tracks with some easier riding on quiet roads. Starting and finishing in Inverness, the scenery and views are great throughout the trip, with the added excitement of a possible glimpse of the elusive monster, keep your camera handy. Loch Ness is a quite unique body of water. You would expect that a loch large enough to contain the whole world’s population (yes really!) to be enormous, and Loch Ness really is a monster. But although it's hugely deep, the loch is only about 23 miles long and a mile wide. The countryside surrounding the loch is very scenic, with hidden glens, ruined castles and friendly villages to explore. The route on the north side makes use of the Great Glen Way, a walking and cycling route, that is rough in some places while in others offers pretty easy cycling and is car­free for almost its entire length. On the south side of Loch Ness you have a choice, the newly opened South Loch Ness Trail for mountain bikes and walkers, or quiet back roads with very little traffic. Of course, you can decide which route to choose when you see them, or mix the two together depending on how adventurous you feel.

Accounts to continue to be published by end April. • Membership/Director requirements Clarification proposed so that only members who are owners of businesses resident within catchment area can act as directors and/or have voting rights, however others with interest are welcome to act as advisors to the Board.

  • The Scottish Highlanders and the Land Laws: John Stuart Blackie
    The Scottish Highlanders and the Land Laws: An Historico-Economical Enquiry by John Stuart Blackie, F.R.S.E. Emeritus Professor of Greek in the University of Edinburgh London: Chapman and Hall Limited 1885 CHAPTER I. The Scottish Highlanders. “The Highlands of Scotland,” said that grand specimen of the Celto-Scandinavian race, the late Dr. Norman Macleod, “ like many greater things in the world, may be said to be well known, and yet unknown.”1 The Highlands indeed is a peculiar country, and the Highlanders, like the ancient Jews, a peculiar people; and like the Jews also in certain quarters a despised people, though we owe our religion to the Hebrews, and not the least part of our national glory arid European prestige to the Celts of the Scottish Highlands. This ignorance and misprision arose from several causes; primarily, and at first principally, from the remoteness of the situation in days when distances were not counted by steam, and when the country, now perhaps the most accessible of any mountainous district in Europe, was, like most parts of modern Greece, traversed only by rough pony-paths over the protruding bare bones of the mountain. In Dr. Johnson’s day, to have penetrated the Argyllshire Highlands as far west as the sacred settlement of St. Columba was accounted a notable adventure scarcely less worthy of record than the perilous passage of our great Scottish traveller Bruce from the Red Sea through the great Nubian Desert to the Nile; and the account of his visit to those unknown regions remains to this day a monument of his sturdy Saxon energy, likely to be read with increasing interest by a great army of summer perambulators long after his famous dictionary shall have been forgotten, or relegated as a curiosity to the back shelves of a philological library.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The proposal involves the erection of an 80 metre anemometer mast on land to the south-west of Urchany and Farley Forest.

  • Drumnadrochit Flood Protection Scheme
    Agenda 11 Item Report EDI No 07/19 HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Environment, Development and Infrastructure Date: 31 January 2019 Report Title: Drumnadrochit Flood Protection Scheme Report By: Director of Development and Infrastructure 1. Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report advises Members on the progress of the Drumnadrochit FPS and seeks approval to publish documents for consultation. 1.2 The Planning, Development and Infrastructure Committee was advised on the 3 June 2015 (Report 31/15), of the recommended actions to be taken forward in the first Flood Risk Management Strategy published by SEPA in December 2015, and Local Flood Risk Management Plan published by the Highland Council in June 2016 for the Highland and Argyll Local Plan District. This included the progression through to construction of the Drumnadrochit (River Enrick) scheme. The same report allocated funding from the ‘Major Flood Schemes’ generic Capital Programme to enable The Highland Council to meet the objectives on the Local Flood Risk Plan. This report outlines the progress on the Drumnadrochit Scheme. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to note the drawings and description of Operations for the Drumnadrochit Scheme and approve the publication of these for formal consultation. 3. Legislative and Legal Framework 3.1 The Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act (2009) establishes powers within Part 4 of the Act for Local Authorities to confirm formal Flood Protection Schemes, thereby removing the need for Scottish Ministerial approval. In addition, if a Flood Protection Scheme was confirmed by the Local Authority, the Act allows Scottish Ministers to deem it to have Planning Permission.
