    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. Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report seeks Members agreement to conduct a statutory consultation proposing the establishment of a Gaelic Medium (GM) catchment area for Acharacle Primary School. 1.2 Currently there are pupils who live in the Strontian Primary School catchment who attend GME at Acharacle Primary School. 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.

  • The First News That Reached Edinburgh of the Landing of Prince Charles, 1745
    The Scottish Historical Review VOL. XXIII., No. 91 APRIL 1926 The First News that reached Edinburgh of the Landing of Prince Charles, 1745 HE narratives which are told of the landing of Prince T Charles in Scotland, although written by men who were present at the time, are so full of discrepancies that from them it has been difficult to determine the exact date of his arrival at Arisaig. The discrepancies vary from July 18 to July 26. Since the publication by the Duc de la Trémoïlle and Mr. Hussey Walsh of the log of the ship Dutillet (generally called in Scots narratives the Doutelle) which brought the Prince from France, all difficulties are removed, and what is more, a daily account is given of the events which happened in the busy fortnight during which the ship remained in the waters between Arisaig and Moidart.1 The Dutillet arrived in Lochnanuagh on Thursday, July 25, and anchored off Borradale in Arisaig. The Prince went on shore that day but apparently returned on board ship the same evening. The party gave out that they were smugglers. The Prince himself was dressed as an ecclesiastic, and this disguise was kept up for some time. On Friday and Saturday several guests (quelques seigneurs du pays) came on board. One of these visitors was 1 Une Famille Royaliste, française et irelandaise: Nantes 19o2. There is an English translation of the volume by the late Miss Murray Macgregor: Edinburgh 1904. The discrepancies of dates given in the Scottish narratives are freely analysed in a long note in the Itinerary of Prince Charles, p.
