  • Caol Is in an Area of Flood Risk from the River Lochy and Loch Linnhe
    1) Why do we need flood protection? Caol has a long flood history and flooded most recently in Caol is in an area of flood risk from the River Lochy and 2005. Loch Linnhe. Studies have been carried out by professionals that agree there is a clear Flooding within Caol can occur due to four processes; risk of river and coastal flooding in Caol. • extreme sea-levels surging into the Loch, • wind-generated waves breaking over the foreshore, • river flows exceeding the bank level of the River Lochy and inundating the surrounding floodplain and • surface water. Each process may occur in isolation or, during some cases, occur simultaneously to produce extreme flooding. This is likely to get worse as the effects of climate change have an impact on sea levels and increase the rainfall running off the land into the River Lochy.

A tidal or storm surge is a change in sea level that is caused by a storm, predominantly from high winds pushing the sea water towards the coast, causing it to pile up there. The strong winds in the storm generate large waves on top of the surge which can cause damage to sea defences, or spill over the top adding to the flood risk.

  • Wildlife Review Cover Image: Hedgehog by Keith Kirk
    Dumfries & Galloway Wildlife Review Cover Image: Hedgehog by Keith Kirk. Keith is a former Dumfries & Galloway Council ranger and now helps to run Nocturnal Wildlife Tours based in Castle Douglas. The tours use a specially prepared night tours vehicle, complete with external mounted thermal camera and internal viewing screens. Each participant also has their own state- of-the-art thermal imaging device to use for the duration of the tour. This allows participants to detect animals as small as rabbits at up to 300 metres away or get close enough to see Badgers and Roe Deer going about their nightly routine without them knowing you’re there.

  • Foreword the Cateran Trail Offers a Great Wilderness Experience to Anybody Who Is Willing to Walk
    Foreword The Cateran Trail offers a great wilderness experience to anybody who is willing to walk. The Trail is under two hours from Scotland’s busy capital, but it has mountains, lochs and big skies, with three wonderful valleys to explore: Strathardle, Glen Shee and Glen Isla. It’s one of Scotland’s Great Trails, and its outstanding scenery and wildlife are made accessible by excellent waymarking. The area is blessed with historic hotels, welcoming B&Bs and fine local produce, and you are never more than seven miles from the nearest village. I grew up near Glen Shee and the mountains of Perthshire were my playground. This countryside formed me as a young explorer, and although I’ve since enjoyed adventurous travel in many continents, I always enjoy returning to Perthshire. I live very close to the Trail, and have walked it often. I completed 54 miles of the Cateran Yomp (see page 71) and in 2015 I was delighted to act as its Ambassador. More recently, my young sons have enjoyed sections of the Trail. In this edition, the publisher has given the Trail the splendid guidebook that it deserves. Mike Bell’s superb photographs let me discover afresh the scenery, moods and dramatic lighting of the Trail. The Footprint mapping is clear and convenient to use. And the text is concise and comprehensive, with lots of local detail. The Cateran Trail is waiting for you. Why not seize the moment? Polly Murray www.pollymurray.com 4 Planning to walk the Trail Spittal of Glenshee The Cateran Trail is a fully waymarked 5.9 mi walk of 64 miles (104 km) that starts 9.5 km and finishes in the Highland town 8.5 mi .

    Moray Offshore Renewables Limited - Environmental Statement Telford, Stevenson and MacColl Offshore Wind Farms and Transmission Infrastructure 5 Human Environment 5.1 Commercial Fisheries 5.1 5.1.1 Introduction 5.1.1.1 This chapter summarises the baseline study of commercial fishing activities, including salmon and sea trout fisheries, in the vicinity of the three proposed development sites (Telford, Stevenson and MacColl) and the offshore transmission infrastructure (OfTI). For the purpose of this study, commercial fishing is defined as CHAPTER any legal fishing activity undertaken for declared taxable profit. 5.1.1.2 The following technical appendices support this chapter and can be found as: Technical Appendix 4.3 B (Salmon and Sea Trout Ecology Technical Report). Technical Appendix 5.1 A (Commercial Fisheries Technical Report). 5.1.1.3 For the purposes of this assessment, salmon and sea trout fisheries in the Moray Firth are separately addressed to other commercial fisheries, as a result of their being located largely in-river (with the exception of some coastal netting) and being different in nature to the majority of marine commercial fishing activities. In addition, due to the migratory behaviour of salmon and sea trout, fisheries have been assessed for all rivers flowing into the Moray Firth. It is also recognised that salmon is a qualifying feature or primary reason for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) site selection of the following rivers in the Moray Firth: Berriedale and Langwell Waters SAC (primary reason); River Moriston
