  • The Findhorn, Nairn & Speyside Local Flood Risk Management Plan
    Foreword The impacts of flooding experienced by individuals, communities and businesses can be devastating and long lasting. It is vital that we continue to reduce the risk of any such future events and improve Scotland’s ability to manage and recover from any events that occur. The publication of this Plan is an important milestone in implementing the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 and improving our understanding of flood risk and how we will manage floods in the Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside Local Plan District. The Plan translates this legislation into actions to reduce the damage and distress caused by flooding over the first planning cycle from 2016 to 2022 and beyond. Within the Local Plan District (LPD), areas with the greatest risk of flooding have been identified and these have been designated as Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs). The actions identified in the Plan are within these PVAs. The current PVAs were designated using the best information available at the time and additional PVAs may be identified when investigation work is done during the development of future plans. In summary, there are fourteen areas that have been identified as being potentially vulnerable to flood risk across the Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside LPD. Across the entire district there are a total of 1,800 residential and 580 non-residential properties at risk of flooding with estimated Annual Average Damages of £5.9 million. The Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside Local Flood Risk Management Plan published by The Moray Council has been developed in partnership and with the agreement of: The Highland Council, Scottish Water; SEPA; Forestry Commission Scotland; and Cairngorms National Park Authority.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal
    BEN AIGAN. BY ROBERT ANDERSON. WHERE is Ben Aigan ? was a question commonly asked when this hill was selected for the spring outing of the Club. The query was pardonable; and probably the severely correct reply—by those able to give it—that Ben Aigan is situated in the parish of Boharm, only incited the further query, But where is Boharm ? Topographically, Boharm would have to be defined as a parish in the west •of Banffshire, bounded on the north by Bellie, on the east by Keith and Botriphnie, on the south by Mortlach, on the south-west by Aberlour, and on the west by Rothes. A better idea of its location may be conveyed, however, by saying that it extends along the right bank of the Spey from the railway bridge (Great North) at Craigellachie •(though the Fiddich is really the boundary), to some dis- tance beyond the railway bridge (Highland) at Boat of Bridge. It thus embraces one of the most picturesque sections of the river, that between Arndilly and Aikenway, while it is faced on the Morayshire side by the hauglis of Dandaleith and Dundurcas, included in the familiar •couplet— " Dipple, Dundurcas, Dandaleith, and Dalvey Are the four bonniest haughs on the run of the Spey ".* What has just been given as the location of Boharm is really the site of Ben Aigan, which stands between the two bridges, the Spey flowing along its western base and Thewashin g Cairngorma portion of its northern slopes. ThClube remainder of the parish extends northward and eastward: hence its name, it is said—Bucharm or Boharm signifying in Gaelic " The bow round the hill".
