  • HITRANS BROADFORD AIRPORT SKYE BACKGROUND NOTE for MEETING with CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY Introduction 1. HITRANS Is the Statutor
    HITRANS BROADFORD AIRPORT SKYE BACKGROUND NOTE FOR MEETING WITH CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY Introduction 1. HITRANS is the Statutory Transport Partnership for the Highlands and Islands established by the Transport Scotland Act 2005. One of the primary duties of the Partnership is to prepare a Regional Transport Strategy. This Strategy must include the development and improvement of transport provision, having regard to the future needs of the region to enhance social and economic well being. The Strategy was submitted to the Minister in March 2007 and awaits his determination. 2. Surface transport from Skye to Central Scotland is 7.5 hours by rail from Kyle; 6.5 hours by bus from Portree; and 5.5 hours by car from Portree. Skye is the only part of the region with significant population (12,000 residents) which has such lengthy travel times without an alternative faster air service. Therefore, in response to the need to improve journey times and enhance the economy of Skye, the Regional Transport Strategy includes the aspiration for air services from Skye to Glasgow or Edinburgh. The Proposed Delivery Plan which accompanies the Strategy identifies the development of Skye airport in the medium term 2013-2017. 3. The HITRANS air network proposals were prepared in 2002 as part of the campaign to reduce air fares on the flights serving the region. These proposals included a Skye to Edinburgh air service because the market testing had revealed potential for a twice daily rotation of a 30 seat aircraft. The proposals were presented to the CAA for information at a meeting in Gatwick in 2002.

  • Skye and the Land Agitation John Norman Macleod
    "Chaidh a' Chuibhle mun Cuairt'" - Skye and the Land Agitation John Norman MacLeod THE Highland Land agitation of the 1880s is a theme which has been widely researched and extensively written about, with a particular focus on the years between 1881 and 1886. Skye very much featured in the upheavals of this period and I will look again at the main events, appraise their significance and consider why Skye crofters were to the forefront of agitation at this time? For this talk on the land agitation in Skye, I will confine myself to the same period 1881-86, while recognising that the land agitation, here as elsewhere, extended well beyond this date and even continued after the First World War. Before looking at events at Braes, Glendale and Kilmuir, it is worth considering some wider aspects of Highland and Islands land agitation. What was the nature and extent of the crofters' resistance? What factors helped to activate and sustain the land agitation of this period? And, indeed, why was there not more of it until the 1880s? Though the tenantry endured great hardships as a result of the Clearances there is a general viewpoint among historians that tacksmen, crofters and cottars did very little to help themselves before the 1850s, both to resist the removals and extreme provocation they endured at the hands of the landlords. Despite these claims, there were reported incidents of conflict, even as early as 1792 in Coigach, with around fifty in all reported in the period to 1855. However, up until the 1850s, there was little unified resistance with no sustained attempt by the victims to mount anything approximating to a generalised assault on their oppressors.
