  • 1 Marine Scotland. Draft Sectoral Plan for Offshore Wind
    Marine Scotland. Draft Sectoral Plan for Offshore Wind (Dec 2019) Supplementary Advice to SNH Consultation Response (25 March 2020). SNH Assessment of Potential Seascape, Landscape and Visual Impacts and Provision of Design Guidance This document sets out SNH’s Landscape and Visual Impact appraisal of each of the Draft Plan Option (DPO) areas presented in the above consultation and the opportunities for mitigating these, through windfarm siting and design. Due to its size, we are submitting it separately from our main response to the draft Plan. We had hoped to be able to submit this earlier within the consultation period and apologise that this was delayed slightly. Our advice is in three parts: Part 1. Context and Approach taken to Assessment Part 2. DPO Assessment and Design Guidance Part 3. DPO Assessment and Design Guidance: Supporting Maps Should you wish to discuss any of the matters raised in our response we would be pleased to do so. Please contact George Lees at [email protected] / 01738 44417. PART 1. CONTEXT AND APPROACH TAKEN TO ASSESSMENT Background 1. In late spring 2018 SNH were invited to participate as part of a Project Steering group to input to the next Sectoral Plan for Offshore Wind Energy by Marine Scotland. SNH landscape advisors with Marine Energy team colleagues recognised this as a real opportunity to manage on-going, planned change from offshore wind at the strategic and regional level, to safeguard nationally important protected landscapes and distinctive coastal landscape character. It also reflected our ethos of encouraging well designed sustainable development of the right scale in the right place and as very much part of early engagement.

  • Editor's Preface
    EDITOR'S PREFACE 'Firthlands' embraces those eastern lowlands clustered around the Dor­ noch, Cromarty, Beauly and Inner Moray Firths. Firthlands of Ross and Sutherland focuses more particularly on the gentle and fertile country around the Dornoch and Cromarty Firths- from Golspie and Loch Fleet in the north, to Bonar Bridge, Tain and the Easter Ross peninsula, across to Cromarty and the Black Isle, and up-firth to Dingwall and Muir of Ord. Of the twelve contrasting chapters, one provides a broad geological background to the area and highlights landscape features as they have evolved through time- the Great Glen and Helmsdale Faults, glacially­ deepened and drowned river valleys, raised beaches, wave-formed shingle barriers. And it is the underlying geology that gave rise to the shape of early habitational and communications networks, to the Brora coal-mines and to the spa waters of Strathpeffer, to stone and sand and gravel and peat for extraction, to the nature and balance of agricultural practice, to the oil and gas fields off the coast. Such economic activity is most apparent for relatively recent times, so that six chapters concentrate on the seventeenth to early twentieth cen­ turies. Some explore trade and family links across to Moray and the Baltic, as well as with other parts of Scotland and beyond; others concentrate on changes in settlement patterns, agriculture and stock-rearing, both in the firthlands and their highland hinterland; yet others are more concerned with a particularly rich architectural heritage.In each case, there is a weave between Highlander and Lowlander, spiced with the ever-increasing exposure of the north to southern influences and pressures.

  • A Re-Examination of the Lineage of Bost &
    DESCENDANTS OF NORSE BOLSTAIJR?: A RE-EXAMINATION OF THE LINEAGE OF BOST & CO. Richard Cox INTRODUCTION The account by Nicolaisen in Scottish Place-Names of the Norse settlement of Scotland as seen from place-name evidence is a land-mark in the development of our understanding of that largely undocumented process. His analysis of the distribution of selected generic elements clearly plots the gradual but relentless approach of serial settlement, through the Northern and Western Isles, up to and onto the northern mainland and western coastal belt. The chronology proposed for the settlement generic-elements discussed, places them in the following order: 1. sta(Jr, 2. setr (and/or sretr) and 3. b6lstaor (Nicolaisen 1976. 87-94). The remarkable thing about the last of these elements, b6lstaor, is that, according to Nicolaisen, it has yielded a large number of different reflexes in modern forms of names. These include orthographic bist, bister, bust, buster, bast, pster, mster, bus, boll, poll, pool and bo (Nicolaisen op.cit. 94). There is general agreement here among earlier commentators, but there are some dissenters concerning one or two individual reflexes (Appendix 2). For instance, not all would agree that boll, poll or pool forms derive from b6lstaor. This in itself does not prompt a complete re-examination of the reflexes of b6lstaor, but there does seem to be a sufficiently compelling reason to undertake one. Enquiring into the form and derivation of shader-names over the west of Scotland (in Gaelic, Siadar ['fiaqdr] ['fid<;ldr] or final -seadar [,f aqdr]), the evidence suggested that an early group of these coincided chronologically with name-forms with the reflex bast, but that · another group of shader-names were of a slightly later stratum than bast-names (Cox 1990).

  • County Dragonfly Recorder Reports 2020 Scotland
    HairyDamselfly Ouwesok© 2020 Scotland Country Dragonfly Recorder Reports Scotland ~ by Pat Batty In Scotland it was exceptionally warm and sunny during lockdown resulting in a number of dragonfly records from garden ponds and people’s local area. One very interesting sighting was of a Northern Emerald in a garden near Grantown. A new breeding site was then discovered in a mire nearby. Large Red Damselflywas first reported on 25 April, Azure Damselfly on 14 May and the Four- spotted Chaser on 15 May, similar dates to 2019. The Four-spotted Chaser was observed predating on the rare Chequered Skipper butterfly on a butterfly transect in Argyll which unfortunately had an impact on numbers. An early Hairy Dragonflywas seen on 5 May in Argyll. Several new breeding sites were discovered in Argyll near Oban and Lochgilphead. Unusually, a larva was found at 234m above sea level, at Loch Chrion-doire, an upland loch above Loch Awe. This seems quite high for the species. It is not clear if the species is spreading or just under recorded. The Golden-ringed Dragonfly was recorded from 20 May to 17 September. In Argyll, Ardnamurchan, Islay and Mull there were a number of new sightings of the Keeled Skimmer and the Beautiful Demoiselle. These were flying from 8 June – 9 August and 31 May – 9 August respectively. The Knapdale beavers have now created a large wetland on one of the burns. The Beautiful Demoiselle is still present here in smaller numbers on the affected sections with adults congregating where the water runs faster over the dam.

That the key messages are widely shared in order to promote learning and continuous improvement in strategic commissioning processes and practice. Author: Eilidh Love Christina Naismith Date: January 2020 January 2020 1 MINISTERIAL STRATEGIC GROUP FOR HEALTH AND COMMUNITY CARE Introduction 1. All Integration Authorities have now revised their strategic commissioning plan, maintaining, realigning or setting their vision for the next 3 years, as required by the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014. 2. Integration Authorities are responsible for planning, designing and commissioning services in an integrated way from a single budget in order to take a joined up approach, more easily shifting resources to best meet need. They have a duty to publish a strategic commissioning plan for integrated functions and budgets under their control. Collectively, Integration Authorities manage almost £9 billion of resources that Health Boards and Local Authorities previously managed separately, and have the power and authority to drive real change.

The country is divided into several different geographical regions broadly typified by particular natural woodland types, and the Holocene environmental history of each region is critically reviewed, summarized and synthesized from the pollen-analytical literature. Particular attention is given to recent models of vegetation change, to new ideas concerning Mesolithic woodland manipulation, the Mesolithic/Neolithic transition and the current status of the elm decline, and to the interplay of climate change and human activity. Attention is drawn to the need for greater temporal precision and spatial resolution reconstructionsin of prehistoric anthropogenic need the activity, for to and an increased sophistication and subtlety in the interpretation of land use from pollen analyses.
