  • Tayside Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2Nd Edition 2016-2026

    Tayside Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2Nd Edition 2016-2026

    Tayside Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2nd Edition 2016­2026 Incorporating the local authority areas of Angus and Perth & Kinross Every Action Counts! Scottish Wildcat © Scottish Wildcat Action 2 Chairman’s Message Anyone glancing at this latest Biodiversity Action Plan for Tayside could be forgiven for feeling a little daunted at the scale of the tasks identified in the Actions. Indeed, the scale of what we need to do over the years ahead is large if we are to pass on to our future generations a land that is as rich and varied in all its forms of life as the one that we have inherited. The hope that we can rise to this challenge comes from the sheer goodwill of so many people and organisations willing to give their time and effort to look after our wildlife, whether it be found in the remoter hills or closer to home in our towns and villages. Great examples of what can be achieved when we work together with a little direction and thought applied can be found throughout the following pages. This Action Plan arrives at a time of great uncertainty, particularly in rural areas which have been so dependent on public funding for so much of our land use. Following the Brexit vote, we have to take the view that this must be an opportunity to improve on our delivery of so many of the tasks identified in this Plan and others which, if achieved, will improve the life of all of us along with all the many forms of life that we share this country with.

  • Chapter Eight the Stones of the Southern Highlands

    Chapter Eight the Stones of the Southern Highlands

    Chapter Eight The Stones of the Southern Highlands Moving on from the stones of the Lowlands and the Southern Uplands, the last stone encountered, the Wallace Putting Stone could easily have been included in this section and certainly when standing on Sheriffmuir, the expanse of the Southern Highlands to the north are so close and almost tangible. There are no distinguishing boundaries for the stones in this section and as a base either the towns of Callander or Aberfeldy should be considered. All but one of the stones are located in the ancient county of Perthshire although some through boundary changes are now in Stirlingshire but regardless, in the days when the Gaelic was spoken and stones were lifted this was entirely Perthshire. The majority of these stones are hemmed in by one of the major trunk roads to the Highlands and the A9 gives access to many of the stones mentioned. If making a tour of the stones, and including the Wallace Putting Stone, an almost oval loop allows testing them all within a day without too much travelling by car. From the Wallace Putting Stone it is 40 mins to the Sadlin Mare and then less than 30 mins to the Menzies Stone. From here it is 30 mins to the famed Bodach in Glen Lyon and 60 mins later the Ardvorlich Stone followed by a short 15 min drive to Balquhidder for the Puterach. This circuit, which has now been carried out on a more than a few occasions has been referred to as the “Perthshire Loop” and any stone lifting visit to Scotland would probably commence on the same lines.
  • 5 Day Highlands and Isle of Skye Tour

    5 Day Highlands and Isle of Skye Tour

    5 day Highlands and Isle of Skye Tour Day 1 Our first stop is the mighty Stirling Castle and Wallace Monument. This commanding position at the foot of the Highland boundary has been fought over for thousands of years as a strategic point to control the entire country. We continue north/west into the Stirling Castle mountain wilderness to visit Etive Mor, an extinct super volcano known locally as “the Shepard of Glencoe”. Here we turn off the beaten path into Glen Etive for spectacular scenery and hopefully spot Red Deer in their native habitat. Next stop is Scotland’s most desired spot, Glencoe. Towering mountains on all sides and a bloody history make this an unforgettable experience to all who visit Glencoe Our final port of call is the town of Fort William at the foot of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. (Fort William will be our overnight stop). Day 2 We start the day with a visit to Thomas Telford’s engineering masterpiece, Neptune’s staircase. Constructed 200 years ago it’s part of the Caledonian Canal system. This series of 8 locks lifts boats some 70 ft from the sea level to Loch Lochy above. We then head west to Glenfinnan and Loch Shiel for one of Scotland’s finest views. Here we will see the Glenfinnan and Loch Sheil Glenfinnan viaduct which featured in Harry Potter and the Jacobite memorial. We continue along the spectacular road to the Isles and catch a ferry for the short journey from Mallaig to the Isle of Skye. In Skye we visit Armadale castle.

    Final Report – All Machars Guide and Calendar 2011

    Whithorn and district Business Association, ALL MACHARS GUIDE – FINAL REPORT FOR LEADER The aim of this project was to publish a visitor guidebook which would ● Provide small businesses with access to markets outside the Machars, since most are micro businesses without funds for marketing; this was to be achieved using professional distribution companies with displays and pick up points throughout the South of Scotland, north of England and Northern Ireland ● Create a new look for the Machars, which would be attractive, professional and recognisable in the future ● Link all communities in the Machars, which have rarely, if ever, worked together, and thereby create a critical mass of attractions and businesses; this would increase the length of visits and attract greater visitor spend ● Provide a simple, easy-to-use guide for visitors, as an overview for the area, as an addition to the large numbers of individual leaflets and booklets available ● Create working relationships and links between Machars community groups, which has been lacking in the past and which could leave a legacy of networks to be used in future projects This project has been a story of success, after initial setbacks and doubts: the project has come in under-budget and on time; by happy chance, 75,000 have been printed ( instead of the planned 60,000) and are being distributed, while remining under the original budget estimate. Demand has been strong, and in some cases difficult to keep up with, particularly from the professional tourism industry – TIC's ( Tourist Information Centres ) have been exceptionally keen to have further supplies.

To the Government in Edinburgh, they were known as MacThomas and are so described in the Roll of the Clans in the Acts of the Scottish Parliament of 1587 and 1595 and MacThomas remains the official name of the Clan to this day. The early chiefs of the Clan MacThomas were seated at the Thom, on the east bank of the Shee Water opposite the Spittal of Glenshee. In about 1600, when the 4th Chief, Robert MacThomaidh of the Thom was murdered, the chiefship passed to his brother, John McComie of Finegand, about three miles down the Glen, which became the seat of the chiefs. By now, the MacThomases had acquired a lot of property in the glen and houses were well established at Kerrow and Benzian with shielings up Glen Beag.

The Dalradian succession 47 therefore encompasses the whole of the Appin and Argyll groups, but 48 also includes an extensive outlier of Southern Highland Group 49 strata in the north of the region.
