Argyll and Kintyre 275Kv Strategy Consultation Booklet July 2021 Argyll and Kintyre 275kV Strategy Consultation Booklet July 2021 Share your views with us: We are launching a virtual consultation exhibition to gain views and feedback on our proposals for our Argyll and Kintyre 275kV Strategy. This strategy includes our plans for the previously consulted upon Creag Dhubh - Dalmally 275kV Connection project, alongside two new projects; Creag Dhubh – Inveraray 275kV Overhead Line and Argyll and Kintyre 275kV Substations. Information on our proposals is available within this consultation booklet, and we also invite you to view our virtual consultation portal where we will hold live IM chat sessions at the following dates and times: • Wednesday 14th July - 10am-1pm & 5-7pm • Thursday 15th July - 10am-1pm & 5-7pm • Thursday 29th July - 10am-1pm & 5-7pm For more information, please visit: www.ssen-transmission.co.uk/projects/ argyll-and-kintyre-275kv-strategy/ 02 Argyll and Kintyre 275kV Strategy Consultation Argyll and Kintyre 275kV Strategy Consultation 03 Who We Are We are Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, operating under licence as Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission plc (SSEN Transmission) for the transmission of electricity in the North of Scotland. What is the difference between Transmission and Distribution? Electricity Transmission is the transportation of electricity from generating plants to where it is required at centres of demand. The Electricity Transmission network, or grid, transports electricity at very high voltages through overhead lines (OHL), underground cables (UCG) and subsea cables. Our transmission network connects large scale generation, primarily renewables, to central and southern Scotland and the rest of Great Britain. It also helps secure supply by providing reliable connection to the wider network of generation plans. The Electricity Distribution network is connected into the Transmission network but the voltage is lowered by transformers at electricity substations, and the power is then distributed to homes and businesses through overhead lines or underground cables. Overview of Transmission Projects In total we maintain about 5,000km of overhead lines and underground cables – easily enough to stretch across the Atlantic from John O’Groats all the way to Boston in the USA. Our network crosses some of the UK’s most challenging terrain – including circuits that are buried under the seabed, are located over 750m above sea level and up to 250km long. The landscape and environment that contribute to the challenges we face also give the area a rich resource for renewable energy generation. There is a high demand to connect from new wind, hydro and marine generators which rely on Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks to provide a physical link between the new sources of power and electricity users. Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks is delivering a major programme of investment to ensure that the network is ready to meet the needs of our customers in the future. Our responsibilities We have a licence for the transmission of electricity in the north of Scotland and we are closely regulated by the energy regulator the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem). Our licence stipulates that we must develop and maintain an efficient, co-ordinated and economical system of electricity transmission. www.ssen-transmission.co.uk/projects/argyll-and-kintyre-275kv-strategy/ www.ssen-transmission.co.uk/projects/argyll-and-kintyre-275kv-strategy/ 04 Argyll and Kintyre 275kV Strategy Consultation Argyll and Kintyre 275kV Strategy Consultation 05 The Argyll and Kintyre 275kV Strategy The original transmission network in Argyll and Bute was constructed over 60 years ago and designed to transmit electricity to consumers in rural areas of low-density population.

  • S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It
    3 S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It is probably true to say that the most enduring aspect of Norse place-names in the Hebrides, if we expect settlement names, has been the toponymy of the sea coast. This is perhaps not surprising, when we consider the importance of the sea and the seashore in the economy of the islands throughout history. The interplay of agriculture and fishing has contributed in no small measure to the great variety of toponymic terms which are to be found in the islands. Moreover, the broken nature of the island coasts, and the variety of scenery which they afford, have ensured the survival of a great number of coastal terms, both in Gaelic and Norse. The purpose of this paper, then, is to examine these terms with a Norse content in the hope of assessing the importance of the two languages in the various islands concerned. The distribution of Norse names in the Hebrides has already attracted scholars like Oftedal and Nicolaisen, who have concen­ trated on establis'hed settlement names, such as the village names of Lewis (OftedaI1954) and the major Norse settlement elements (Nicolaisen, S.H.R. 1969). These studies, however, have limited themselves to settlement names, although both would recognise that the less important names also merit study in an intensive way. The field-work done by the Scottish Place Name Survey, and localised studies like those done by MacAulay (TGSI, 1972) have gone some way to rectifying this omission, but the amount of material available is enormous, and it may be some years yet before it is assembled in a form which can be of use to scholar­ ship.

  • Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan
    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan 2011 In 2010 the Ross of Mull (including Pennyghael and Tiroran) and Iona were identified by Highlands and Islands Enterprise as being an area which could receive support through their Growth at the Edge (GatE) programme. This involved supporting an anchor organisation, in this case Mull and Iona Community Trust, to facilitate community growth through the employment of a Local Development Officer and the creation of a Community Plan based on consultation with the local community and a socio-economic analysis. The project is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise & LEADER. The document will always be open to suggestions and changes from the community and should not be regarded as being inflexible. Pennyghael village, A. MacCallum 2 Contents Introduction 4 How the plan was created 5 Our vision 6 Our Outcomes 6 Section 1 Population 7 Section 2 Physical Infrastructure 8 Section 3 Business, Employment & Economy 11 Section 4 Culture and Heritage 14 Section 5 Community Facilities & Social Infrastructure 16 How does the plan fit with European, national and local priorities 18 Timeline 20 Kilvickeon Beach 3 Introduction “It is a beautiful place to be brought up and you get to know everyone really well.” Oban High School Pupil About the plan In creating this plan, we aim to define our scope of activities over the next 5-10 years and give you an insight into how wide our ambitions are to be a sustainable community and where we, as a community, intend to go. The plan is an opportunity for our communities to control our development and implement projects, which will be of direct benefit to the Ross of Mull and Iona.

It has a varied and indented coast, with open sandy bays contrasting with craggy headlands and skerries. It is renowned for its whisky, having eight distilleries with their distinctive buildings. Tourism and traditional agriculture are the other economic mainstays; many come to Islay to watch the spectacular populations of geese and cliff birds. Away from the distillery buildings, the settlement pattern is mostly agricultural with small crofting settlements near the low- lying coastal areas. Colonsay lies to the north. It is fringed by sandy beaches and is also known for its bird life. Prehistoric and mediaeval monuments, such as Mesolithic mounds and stone crosses, survived relatively well here due to less land-use pressure.
