Situation Ferry Inn is set in four acres of its own grounds on the Rosneath Peninsula with 250 metres of frontage to Gare Loch and ownership of the shingle beach in front. The grounds form the corner of the promontory on the edge of Rosneath which juts out into the sea loch. There are magnificent views from the house over the loch and to the marina at Rhu on the opposite shore. The Rosneath Peninsula lies to the north of the Firth of Clyde. The peninsula is reached by the road from Garelochhead in its neck to the north. The peninsula is bounded by Loch Long to the northwest, Gare Loch to the east and the Firth of Clyde to the south and is connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus at its northern end. Gare Loch has been used as a naval base since the 1830s and Faslane on the opposite side of the loch is a key naval base to this day. There is also a naval yard at Coulport on the west side of the peninsula. The peninsula is about eight miles long and is only two and a half miles wide at its widest point. A ridge runs along the centre of the peninsula from where there are magnificent views in all directions. Villages situated along the coastline include Rosneath, Kilcreggan (where there is a foot ferry to Gourock) and Cove. Rosneath provides a primary school, two churches and local shops. The village has expanded in recent years providing housing for servicemen at the naval base and associated workers. There are further local shops at Garelochhead. Helensburgh on the opposite side of the loch is a larger town with a full range of supermarkets, high street stores, independent shops and both local authority and private schools.

  • Argyll and Bute Landscape Wind Energy Capacity Study FINAL
    Argyll and Bute Landscape Wind Energy Capacity Study FINAL APPENDIX REPORT March 2012 ArgyllandButeLandscapeWindEnergyCapacityStudy AppendixReport–DetailedSensitivityAssessments March2012 Carol Anderson and Alison Grant, Landscape Architects Contents 1. Introduction to the sensitivity assessments 2. Detailed sensitivity assessment for landscape character types 3. Detailed sensitivity assessment for National Scenic Areas 2 1 Introduction to the sensitivity assessment 1.1 Sensitivity assessments have been undertaken for each character type and any sub-types defined and for the National Scenic Areas (NSA) as explained in Section 4 of the Main Study Report. 1.2 The sensitivity assessment considers sensitivity of each character type or NSA to four different wind farm/turbine typologies. An introduction to each character type is set out in the sensitivity assessments that follow. This clarifies the approach to assessment in terms of whether the whole landscape character type or sub-divisions of that type have been assessed. It also describes where any changes have been made to the boundaries or classification of character types set out in the Argyll and Firth of Clyde Landscape Assessment. Operational and consented wind farm developments, whether located within the landscape type/unit or in the surrounding area (and clearly visible from the character type being assessed), are described. A similar approach is taken for the NSA assessments although the introduction principally focuses on the description of the designated landscape and its special qualities. 1.3 This Appendix Report contains the detailed sensitivity assessment tables for landscape character types and NSAs (a summary of these only being included in the Main Study Report). The sensitivity scores outlined in the summary of sensitivity are made on the basis of a five point scale; High, High-medium, Medium, Medium-low and Low.

  • A Walk on the Beach at the Southern Tip of Rosneath Peninsula, Argyll & Bute
    A walk on the beach at the southern tip of Rosneath Peninsula, Argyll & Bute. The air, the water and the land, and sadly, the litter. Tam Ward. 2019. A tiny part of Scotland – with so much to offer. Rosneath Peninsula and Upper Clyde Estuary, The southern tip of Rosneath Peninsula Argyll & Bute 1 The sky was a bland but beautiful shade of pale blue interrupted only by occasional and ever changing clumps of fluffy topped white and grey clouds, constantly modifying themselves into slowly moving and ever changing shapes, of curly topped travellers heading to some unknown destination across the horizons. The airborne islands of pearly white seemed endless in their seemingly mysterious source as the continued their journey – appearing from somewhere – and disappearing to – another place. Gareloch Gareloch and Helensburgh The skyward scene is only occasionally interrupted by the apparently motiveless flight of a bird or flock of them, sometimes alone but on other occasions as a flight of well-meaning direction, especially at some specific spot on the beach where they will swoop down as if with a single mind, perhaps sensing a good spot for lunch, or just taking a chance on one. Further out, especially if the sea is flat, the expert divers of gannet, tern or cormorant will streak down and disappear in a little flash of sparkling water, to erupt again some distance away, and If they were lucky, as they usually are – with their beak held quarry. Now and then a frenzy of such activity by a gang of birds would indicate a hapless shoal of fish had been detected near the surface.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.
