We hope you enjoy this edition as much as we have putting it together. Seventeen years in business has gone quickly, but then if you love what you do then this must be the magic ingredient! It has taken that time to really understand what Scotland truly offers in terms of sport and accommodation. This has given us the chance to build up a unique and exclusive portfolio of properties and estates, enabling us to share some of Scotland’s gems with you. A recent reconnaissance trip to Argyll, Outer Hebrides, George Goldsmith and family Sutherland, Inverness-shire and Perthshire to look at several new properties and estates, notched up 1000 miles in 3 days. This was all covered in wonderful September sunshine and all on two wheels, which was even better! The perks of the job, but a great way to experience the Highlands in their true majestic form and to be able to personally visit every property that we offer, which we believe is vitally important. We are here to help and to advise on the perfect sporting estate, lodge, country house, castle or cottage for your true Scottish holiday or sporting experience. If you would like our thoughts or advice on any aspect of your trip, please call us on 0131 476 6500. We look forward to hearing from you.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

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.

    Appendix 2: Sutherland Local Plan - Report to PED Committee 18 March 2009 Representations* received on Deposit Draft Local Plan *NB - Includes text of previous representation where appropriate. Representations* received on Deposit Draft Local Plan - November 28 2008 to January 23 2009 Consultation *NB - Includes text of previous representation where appropriate. Representee Comment Whole Policy Text WS General Comment Scottish Water In relation to the Local Plan Map Booklet, we welcome the inclusion of the table prepared for each settlement, suggesting the level of capacity for both water and sewerage treatment. A detailed assessment of the proposed site allocations provided in the map booklet has been undertaken in terms of capacity and future capacity1 of Scottish Water’s infrastructure to accommodate the level of development detailed within the local plan. The capacity data section in the map booklet appears to be consistent with our assessment and the planned future development of our infrastructure. Scottish Natural Heritage Master Planning and Design Statements SNH recommends that relevant PANs such as PAN83 Masterplanning, PAN68 Design Statements are referred to and their requirements consistently applied in relation to housing allocations within1 the Local Plan. DEPOSIT DRAFT NOV 08 RESPONSE - Not done – but para 2.6 1st b/p advises applicants to check the Scottish Government website for current PANs – which are listed in topic order – and SNH has no further comments on this. Scottish Natural Heritage Renewable energy, and some other development related issues will, SNH understands, be taken forward soon in policy terms through the Highland-wide Local Development Plan in order that they can be considered at the Highland rather than at any Area level.
