  • Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015
    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation.

  • Discover the Flow Country
    A vast expanse of blanket bog, sheltered straths, moorland and mountain covers much of Caithness and Sutherland. Known as The Flow Country, or the Flows, it is one of Scotland’s most important natural resources. Blanket bog is a rare type of peatland which forms only in cool places with plenty of rain and covers the landscape like a blanket. Due to the cool, wet and acidic conditions, the plants which grow here, Start your explorations online at especially the Sphagnum bog mosses, don’t fully www.theflowcountry.org.uk rot away when they die. Instead they build up deep layers of peat. The Flow Country’s bogs have been #TheFlowCountry growing for more than 10,000 years and in some areas the peat is up to 10 metres deep.

  • Mapping Farmland Wader Distributions and Population Change to Identify Wader Priority Areas for Conservation and Management Action
    Mapping farmland wader distributions and population change to identify wader priority areas for conservation and management action Scott Newey1*, Debbie Fielding1, and Mark Wilson2 1. The James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen, AB15 8QH 2. The British Trust for Ornithology Scotland, Stirling, FK9 4NF * [email protected] Introduction Many birds have declined across Scotland and the UK as a whole (Balmer et al. 2013, Eaton et al. 2015, Foster et al. 2013, Harris et al. 2017). These include five species of farmland wader; oystercatcher, lapwing, curlew, redshank and snipe. All of these have all been listed as either red or amber species on the UK list of birds of conservation concern (Harris et al. 2017, Eaton et al. 2015). Between 1995 and 2016 both lapwing and curlew declined by more than 40% in the UK (Harris et al. 2017). The UK harbours an estimated 19-27% of the curlew’s global breeding population, and the curlew is arguably the most pressing bird conservation challenge in the UK (Brown et al. 2015). However, the causes of wader declines likely include habitat loss, alteration and homogenisation (associated strongly with agricultural intensification), and predation by generalist predators (Brown et al. 2015, van der Wal & Palmer 2008, Ainsworth et al. 2016). There has been a concerted effort to reverse wader declines through habitat management, wader sensitive farming practices and predator control, all of which are likely to benefit waders at the local scale. However, the extent and severity of wader population declines means that large scale, landscape level, collaborative actions are needed if these trends are to be halted or reversed across much of these species’ current (and former) ranges.

  • Appendix a New Vision for Thurso
    Appendix A new vision for Thurso Historic Context 140 Team Briefing and Minibus Tour 142 Thurso Today - A Photographic Tour 144 Post-it Workshops “Thurso Today” & “Thurso Tomorrow” 161 Young People 165 Hands-on Planning 167 Local Famous People 183 Local Economy 185 MAY 2013 PAGE 139 Appendix A new vision for Thurso HISTORIC CONTEXT The map below illustrates the organically grown old town at the north western edge of the river mouth and the distinct grid pattern of the new town to its south. Thurso’s history stretches back to at least the era of the age of Viking rule in Caithness, which ended conclusively in 1266. The Norsemen were attracted to Thurso due to its geography, lying at the mouth of a river overlooking a deep sheltered bay. The town was an important Norse port, and has a later history of trade with ports throughout northern Europe until the 19th century. Old St. Peter’s Kirk is said to date from circa 1220. Much of the town, however, is a planned late 18th and 19th century development. The town was laid out in a strict grid iron layout by Sir John Sinclair of Ulbster in 1798. A major expansion of Thurso occurred in the mid 20th century when the Dounreay nuclear power plant was established at Dounreay, 10 miles to the west of the Map of Thurso, 1882 town. Between 1955–58 Thurso’s population expanded Copyright Wick Society from the Johnston Collection rapidly, from around 2,500 to about 12,000, as the nuclear plant attracted skilled migrants from all parts of Today’s map highlights how Thurso has expanded west the United Kingdom.
