  • An Gleann's Robh Mi Og
    An Gleann's robh mi og When I was a child my great grandmother Christina MacLachlan lived alone in a tiny cottage in Tobermory which consisted of just two rooms, a bedroom and a living room which also served as the kitchen. There was a stone sink with single cold water tap that was used for all purposes and a tiny ‘Baby Belling’ electric stove for cooking and heating water. It was all in stark contrast to my parents’ home on the edge of London. What I didn’t realize was that with electricity and mains water this represented luxury compared with the life she had known at Glendrian where she had raised her six children who would be the last of the many MacLachlan generations to have lived at the tiny township. Chrissie, the youngest of her children wrote a description of Glendryen in a school exercise book / diary when she was in Senior 1, Class IV, at the Achosnich Public School, Ardnamurchan in 1924. It contains perfect handwriting, arithmetic, and drawings, etc. In a piece entitled ‘ An Gleann's robh mi og .’ which means something like ‘Historic Glendryen’ she stated: "The generation of MacLachlans now in Glendryen is the 10th or 11th generation of that clan to have lived there" and went on to give the numbers of Stock, i.e. cows, horses, calves, etc. at both Glendrian and Plocaig. It is difficult to put a precise time to the period of occupation by our family in that men folk often married later rather than earlier in life.

  • KNOYDART a Two-Day Bothy Adventure in the Wilderness of the Rough Bounds
    KNOYDART A two-day bothy adventure in the wilderness of the Rough Bounds Overview The so-called 'Rough Bounds' of Knoydart – often described as Britain's last wilderness – are difficult to reach. Getting to the start of the route involves either a boat trip or long car journey along a winding, 20 mile single-track road. Cut off from the UK road network, the peninsula is a wild place of rugged mountains, remote glens and fjord-like sea lochs. This spectacular area includes three Munros and its coastal views take in Skye and the islands of the Inner Hebrides. In the 19th century, the peninsula fell victim to the Highland clearances but since 1999, after huge fundraising efforts, the land has been owned and managed by its own small community. Some days you won’t bump into another soul in here – although you may spot minke whales, eagles, otters and stags. Despite its inaccessibility, there are good paths connecting the glens and these provide exceptional running through challenging terrain. This fastpacking circuit is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the unique landscape. Highlights • A truly special wilderness experience in a remote and spectacular location • A superb route on a legacy network of well-made paths through wild terrain • Spectacular views of rugged mountain and coastal scenery • Plentiful wildlife including red deer, otters, pine martens and birds of prey such as golden eagles • An overnight stay or wild camp at Sourlies bothy • Fantastic running, descending off the passes and along loch-side paths. Top tips • Be prepared for a serious run in a remote area with limited escape options.

Including the Strontian catchment in the proposed GM catchment therefore reflects existing practice that has developed on an informal basis. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to agree to proceed to statutory consultation, on the basis of the proposal attached to this report. 3. Implications 3.1 Resource - The proposal seeks to maximise access to GME whilst still considering and balancing financial implications, particularly with regard to school transport. No additional costs are envisaged at present as a result of the proposal. 3.2 Legal - The Proposal will be issued for statutory consultation as required by the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010. It also complies with the provisions for school transport set out within the Education (Scotland) Act 1980; with the provisions relating to GME contained within the Education (Scotland) Act 2016; and with statutory guidance on the creation of GM catchment areas, issued by Bòrd na Gàidhlig. 3.3 Community (Equality, Poverty and Rural) - There are no specific impacts on equality, poverty or rural issues, beyond those already considered as part of access to GME.
