Save the Date! This will be the 39th year of the games and we are very proud of all the people who, over the years, have helped to make it happen.

Can you help? The Lochcarron Highland Games is supported by other local events over that weekend, the shinty team with their Friday night dance, see separate advert, another dance on the Saturday night, for those still needing to spend some energy. All money raised does return to the community and since 2014 we have awarded £13,500 to over 13 local organisations, some multiple times. So this year we will run a regular bus service from Lochcarron to Attadale, so leave the car at home. Along with your admission to the Games we also include free entry to Attadale Gardens.

Box 3006, N-7001 Trondheim, Norway SYNOPSIS Primary (compactional) magnetic fabrics and multicomponent rem- anences are recognized in the Stoer and Torridon Groups. Low tempera- ture (LT) blocking remanences are randomized around 400-600°C and relate to a post-Torridonian magnetic overprint, possibly of early Mesozoic age. In the Stoer Group (and some Stoer boulders in the basal Torridon Group) LT remanences are partly or fully carried by magnetite (titanomagnetite). High temperature (HT) remanences are characterized by discrete unblocking above 600°C, having a specular haematite remanence carrier. Results of a conglomerate test of some Stoer boulders provides a positive stability test for HT remanences in the Torridon Group, and a convergence of evidence suggests that remanence acquisi- tion of both the Stoer and Torridon Groups was facilitated by both detrital and early diagenetic processes.

    Aroma Café & Gift Shop, Mellon Charles, AULTBEA, IV22 2JL Offers Over £495,000 REF: 57207 Located within the beautiful crofting community of Mellon Charles, close to the village of Aultbea, the Aroma Café and Gift Shop represent a unique lifestyle opportunity along with a successful and profitable business. Built around an original crofthouse, the building has significant local provenance. Owners accomodation of approximately 830 sq ft on the ground floor plus some additional upstairs space, can be created within the building and a pre-planning application advises "there are no other material planning considerations identified at this time that would prevent the granting of the permission." The property, which was purpose built in 2006, has two main income streams and currently trades for 7 months of the year, 6 days a week from 10am-5pm, leaving ample scope to increase profits. The Café, which seats around 32 covers, is finished in a bistro-style and provides a calm, contemporary atmosphere.

The Café also enjoys spectacular uninterrupted views across Loch Ewe, towards the Torridon mountains and the Islands of Harris and Lewis. The Café boasts a "Taste our Best" certificate and has featured in national newspaper reviews. As the current owners do not take a day to day role, the Café is presently operated by two full-time staff (one being the manager), supplemented by two part-time staff in the busiest part of the season. The Café offers light lunches, soups, snacks, beverages and an excellent range of home baking.

Purchased by the vendors in 2005 the business was operated as a self-catering business until 2010 and since that time has operated as a Hotel, latterly trading in wet sales only. Due to the need to upgrade fire safety requirements the Hotel has not traded with letting rooms in recent years but we understand that bringing the Hotel into full operation again would be a fairly straight forward matter and the vendors have full details of the requirements to do so. The footprint of the property offers excellent amenity space extending to circa 1.5 acres. The internal aspects of the property require a degree of redecoration. The vendors accept that new owners would be better placed to develop the business both in terms of facilities and trade.
