  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

  • Small Blue Survey

The East Lothian Question Small Blue Survey Small 7. Inland sites 2013 8. Plans for 2013 9. Summing up 1 INTRODUCTION After last years surveys on the Berwickshire and Northumberland coast, the following are the results of those surveys. A clearer picture of possible and actual Small Blue sites was achieved, but as ever there will always be more to do. Thanks to everyone who took part directly or indirectly, much appreciated. Having more eyes out there looking for Small Blue and the food plant Kidney Vetch is and was a huge help. BERWICKSHIRE COAST NORTH 2 The Berwickshire Coast North section stretches from Bilsdean and Cove in the north too Coldingham in the south. Thus far no Small Blue have been found in the section, and there is little in the way of decent habitat apart from Brander Heugh (illustrated below), StAbbs Head and Coldingham Bay Homeli Knoll. Brander Heugh is a very likely spot, yet its isolation would very probably hinder any chance of colonisation...which is a pity. St Abbs Head is still under recorded and that needs fixing…so little can be said until a proper search is done. Coldingham Bay and Homeli Knoll has seemingly perfect habitat with lots of flowering vetch… Small Blue still possible here, though it has been a good number of years since they were last seen here. Searches were carried out in the north at Cove, Pease Bay, Greenheugh and Ramsheugh yielding little in the way of Kidney Vetch.

  • Coldingham Priory
    24 Church Service Society Annual Coldingham Priory COLDINGHAM Priory is not so well known as it deserves to be, although it played an important part in Scottish history from its foundation. Little remains today of the once magnificent Church, only the North and East walls of the Choir still stand. The Parish Church now occupies the ancient site of the Choir, embodying the original North and East walls, to which were added South and West walls, to form a church rectangular in shape, and measuring 95 feet by 35 feet. To a passer-by the church may appear to have a rather uninteresting exterior ; but his surprise is all the greater on entering its precincts to find a Sanctuary of great beauty, and a church unique in Scotland. Here men have borne witness to the Christian faith, and have maintained Christian worship for nearly nine hundred years. The origin of Coldingham Priory is linked with the story of a Scottish King. He was Edgar, King of Scots, who had been ousted from his throne by his uncle, Donald Bane. Determined to regain his throne he found the help he needed in England, and was soon making for the Scottish Border with a strong army. When he was at Durham on the way north, Edgar had a vision of St Cuthbert, who appeared to him and told him to take the consecrated banner of St Cuthbert, and to carry it at spear point at the van of his advancing forces, and he would thereby gain the victory over his usurping uncle.

  • Economic Assessment of Short Term Options for Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Territorial Waters: Costs and Benefits to Other Marine Users and Interests
    Marine Scotland Economic Assessment of Short Term Options for Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Territorial Waters: Costs and Benefits to Other Marine Users and Interests Economic Assessment of Short Term Options for Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Territorial Waters: Costs and Benefits to Other Marine Users and Interests The Scottish Government, Edinburgh 2011 Economic Assessment of Short Term Options for Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Territorial Waters: Costs and Benefits to Other Marine Users and Interests © Crown copyright 2011 ISBN: 978-1-78045-162-6 (web only) The Scottish Government St Andrew’s House Edinburgh EH1 3DG Produced for the Scottish Government by APS Group Scotland DPPAS11534 (03/11) Published by the Scottish Government, March 2011 Economic Assessment of Short Term Options for Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Territorial Waters: Costs and Benefits to Other Marine Users and Interests Summary Introduction In 2009, The Crown Estate identified 10 areas where it was prepared to grant commercial leases for offshore wind energy developments. Collectively, these areas could provide a generation capacity of around 6.4GW. Subsequent to this, one of the sites (Bell Rock) proved technically unsuitable for development and the developer has withdrawn from the scheme. The Scottish Government‟s draft Offshore Wind Energy Plan provides a strategic overview of where offshore wind development could be progressed including The Crown Estate‟s 9 short-term options, together with a number of medium and longer-term options. A number of studies have been commissioned by Marine Scotland to support the evaluation of the Plan prior to its adoption. These studies have included a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) (Marine Scotland, 2010a) and a Habitats Regulations Appraisal (ABPmer, 2011) of the short and medium term options in the Draft Plan.
