  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues. Water Safety Policy in Scotland— A Guide 3 Section A: The Problem Table 1: Overall Fatalities 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 Data from National Water Safety Forum, WAID database, July 14 In recent years the number of drownings in Scotland has remained generally constant.

  • Population Change in Lochaber 2001 to 2011
    The Highland Council Agenda 5 Item Lochaber Area Committee Report LA/2/14 No 27 February 2014 Population Change in Lochaber 2001 To 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report presents early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Lochaber. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the population has “aged”, and that there is a large number of people who are close to retirement age. The population of Lochaber has grown by 6.1% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in both Wards, and at a local level in 18 out of 27 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled preparation of the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on the Highland Council’s website at: http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/highlandfactsandfigures/census2011.htm 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Lochaber population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). The changes for Highland are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.

    Agenda 13. Item Report EDU/14/21 No HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Education Committee Date: 20 May 2021 Statutory Consultation – Proposal for Gaelic Medium Report Title: Catchment, Acharacle Primary School Report By: Executive Chief Officer Education and Learning 1.

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.

The application of local and regional transfer functions to the reconstruction of Holocene sea levels, north Norfolk, England Abstract Foraminiferal assemblages from Thornham and Brancaster marshes (Norfolk, UK) illustrate statistically significant elationshipr with elevation with respect to the tidal frame. We develop local (data from Thornham and Brancaster marshes) and regional (data from Thornham and Brancaster marshes combined with those from 11 other sites around the UK) predictive foraminifera-based transfer functions to reconstruct former sea levels from a Holocene sediment sequence from Holkham, north Norfolk, UK. The two transfer functions produce similar patterns of tidal elevation change during the Holocene. The vertical error ranges of the local transfer function are smaller than those of the regional transfer function, although the difference (0.09 m) is not significant when compared to other factors affecting the reconstructed elevation.

  • High Mingarry (Mingaraigh Ard), Moidart, Invernesss-Shire (NM 68827 70315)
    High Mingarry (Mingaraigh Ard), Moidart, Invernesss-shire (NM 68827 70315) A survey undertaken by the Moidart History Group, Comann Eachdraidh Mùideart, in Spring / Summer 2008 Historical background and notes High Mingarry (Mingearaidh Ard), Moidart High Mingarry viewed from the north. Bracken covers most areas of past cultivation. High Mingarry, Moidart. (NM 68800.70200) In historic records, the township of Mingarry appears as Mengary, Mingary and Mingarry. The original settlement was likely to have been sited to the north of the parliamentary road, at the place now known as High Mingarry where scattered ruins are evident. Aaron Arrowsmith's Map of Scotland 1807, shows that Mingarry was some distance to the north of the proposed Parliamentary road and that a track left the route of the road to the west of the Mingarry Burn and climbed the hill in a north-easterly direction to the settlement. The track then continued over the hill to the south shore of Loch Moidart to meet the route of the road near the River Moidart crossing point at the east end of the loch. The Lochshiel Estate Map, probably drawn up about 1811-1816 indicates that at that time the settlement of Mingarry was sited on the hillside to the north of Loch Shiel and to the north of the parliamentary road, mainly between two tributaries of the Mingarry Burn. At that time, there were no buildings near the road. Historic Background Pre 1745 The date of origin of the township is unknown. Moidart was part of the mainland Clanranald Estates. The settlement appears in lists of Estate rentals 1691-1771 as Mengary.
