COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary Mull long distance route: A socio-economic study Commissioned Report No: 743 Project No: 14827 Contractor: Vyv Wood-Gee, Countryside Management Consultant Year of publication: 2014 Keywords Long distance route; pilgrimage; socio-economic; Mull; Iona. Background The idea of developing a long distance route (LDR) across the Ross of Mull has been discussed for many years, and was identified as a priority in the 2011 Mull and Iona Community Plan. The main drivers behind the proposal are economic development through tourism and improving access opportunities for local people. Mull and Iona Community Trust (MICT) set up a steering group to explore the project’s feasibility. As part of their advisory role to the steering group, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) commissioned this socio- economic study to identify in more detail the potential social, health and economic benefits that route development might bring for route users and local communities.

Ramblers Charity England & Wales No: 1093577 Scotland No: SC039799 www.lothian-borders-ramblers.org.uk CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Hope this note finds you all well and enjoying some great walking too. It was lovely to see so many groups represented and our youngest member, two year old Scott (Edinburgh Family Group), at our recent Area AGM. It was kindly hosted by the East Lothi- an group, who did a marvellous job welcoming everyone to North Berwick. After our business meeting, we had two very good speakers from East Lothian. One from the Sea Bird Centre and one from the local Ranger service. Both were very enjoyable and informative. You may have heard…..news travels fast …‘The Gathering 2019’ is being hosted by the Eil- don Group in the Scottish Borders from the 3rd to 6th May and full details for registration are on the Ramblers Website. We have a full programme of magnificent Walks and entertainment including a Ceilidh and we hope you will give this weekend your full support. We have to date over 100 coming so please come if you can and join us for fun and friendship, guaranteed. We have a few changes to the Area Committee and we are saying our goodbyes and thanks to Christine Dykes who has done a great job for the past three years as Area Secretary. I would like to welcome Julia Roberts onboard who is taking on this role and sure she will do a great job too.
