  • Strathspey Woodlands Land Management Plan Brief

    Strathspey Woodlands Land Management Plan Brief

    Strathspey Woodlands Land Management Plan Brief Vision Strathspey Woodlands through the centuries have met the needs of both local people and the nation - it shall continue to do this through this millennium. In future years it will remain a vibrant ecosystem, with a wide variety of tree ages and types, with significant international and national biodiversity value. Equally, it will remain a socially important forest providing for the needs of local people and visitors to the area who will draw inspiration from the wild land characteristics of the forest. Diversity will be an important element in what will be predominantly a native forest, with quiet areas “left for nature” and others which will continue to provide opportunities, through employment and tourism, in the area. 1. Project Background Strathspey Land Management Plan (LMP) is an amalgamation of Glenmore, Inshriach, McAlpine and Upper Rothiemurchus forest blocks. Strathspey now stretches from Pityoulish in the north to “Woods of Glentromie” in the south, and from West of the B970 by Kingussie to the “Stac na h-loaire” hill in the east. Strathspey covers an area of approx. 9208 ha of largely native coniferous forest. The forest blocks contain a wide variety of habitats which supports some of the most specialised species and habitats in the country. The predominately native crop has commercial significance, as well. Equally, the plan area and its surroundings are socially important forests providing both for the needs and livelihoods of local people and for exceptional recreational experiences to visitors who will draw inspiration from the wild land characteristics. Sitting within the catchments of the River Spey, these areas play a significant role in water management.
  • The Findhorn, Nairn & Speyside Local Flood Risk Management Plan

    The Findhorn, Nairn & Speyside Local Flood Risk Management Plan

    Foreword The impacts of flooding experienced by individuals, communities and businesses can be devastating and long lasting. It is vital that we continue to reduce the risk of any such future events and improve Scotland’s ability to manage and recover from any events that occur. The publication of this Plan is an important milestone in implementing the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 and improving our understanding of flood risk and how we will manage floods in the Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside Local Plan District. The Plan translates this legislation into actions to reduce the damage and distress caused by flooding over the first planning cycle from 2016 to 2022 and beyond. Within the Local Plan District (LPD), areas with the greatest risk of flooding have been identified and these have been designated as Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs). The actions identified in the Plan are within these PVAs. The current PVAs were designated using the best information available at the time and additional PVAs may be identified when investigation work is done during the development of future plans. In summary, there are fourteen areas that have been identified as being potentially vulnerable to flood risk across the Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside LPD. Across the entire district there are a total of 1,800 residential and 580 non-residential properties at risk of flooding with estimated Annual Average Damages of £5.9 million. The Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside Local Flood Risk Management Plan published by The Moray Council has been developed in partnership and with the agreement of: The Highland Council, Scottish Water; SEPA; Forestry Commission Scotland; and Cairngorms National Park Authority.

It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance.

  • Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park

    Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park

    Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park Place-Names in the Cairngorms This leaflet provides an introduction to the background, meanings and pronunciation of a selection of the place-names in the Cairngorms National Park including some of the settlements, hills, woodlands, rivers and lochs in the Angus Glens, Strathdon, Deeside, Glen Avon, Glen Livet, Badenoch and Strathspey. Place-names give us some insight into the culture, history, environment and wildlife of the Park. They were used to help identify natural and built landscape features and also to commemorate events and people. The names on today’s maps, as well as describing landscape features, remind us of some of the associated local folklore. For example, according to local tradition, the River Avon (Aan): Uisge Athfhinn – Water of the Very Bright One – is said to be named after Athfhinn, the wife of Fionn (the legendary Celtic warrior) who supposedly drowned while trying to cross this river. The name ‘Cairngorms’ was first coined by non-Gaelic speaking visitors around 200 years ago to refer collectively to the range of mountains that lie between Strathspey and Deeside. Some local people still call these mountains by their original Gaelic name – Am Monadh Ruadh or ‘The Russet- coloured Mountain Range’.These mountains form the heart of the Cairngorms National Park – Pàirc Nàiseanta a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh. Invercauld Bridge over the River Dee Linguistic Heritage Some of the earliest place-names derive from the languages spoken by the Picts, who ruled large areas of Scotland north of the Forth at one time. The principal language spoken amongst the Picts seems to have been a ‘P-Celtic’ one (related to Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Gaulish).

It covers most of Abernethy Forest, a remnant of an ancient Scots pine forest that once covered much of the Scottish Highlands and extends high into the Cairngorm Mountains. The pines we see here today are the descendants of the first pines to arrive in the area 8,800 years ago, after the last ice age. These forests are ideal habitat for a vast number of plant and animal species, some of which only live within Scotland and rely upon the Caledonian forests for their survival. The forest of Abernethy NNR is home to some of the most charismatic mammals and birds of Scotland including pine marten, red squirrel, capercaillie, osprey, Scottish crossbill and crested tit. It is also host to an array of flowers characteristic of native pinewoods, including twinflower, intermediate wintergreen and creeping lady’s tresses. Scotland’s NNRs are special places for nature, where many of the best examples of Scotland’s wildlife are protected. Whilst nature always comes first on NNRs, they also offer special opportunities for people to enjoy and find out about the richness of our natural heritage.

    Finalised Area Profile 2015

    Craigellachie area, Moray Area profile The name Craigellachie derives from the Gaelic (Creag Eileachaidh) meaning “Rocky Hill”, due to the cliff on which most of the village sits. Located at the confluence of the rivers Spey and Fiddich the village can be dated back to at least 1750, when there was a ferry across the river Spey where the village now stands. With Scotland having the highest concentration of distilleries in the world and Speyside having around half of them, it is no surprise that Craigellachie has two of its own (Macallan & Craigellachie), the former of which is renowned for producing some of Scotland’s finest single malts. Craigellachie boasts the only working cooperage in the UK that provides access for the public. Since 1947 this family owned business has produced the finest casks, whilst many of these casks are exported across the world many also remain providing a vital ingredient to the proud heritage of whisky production in Moray. This profile is based upon an area in and around the main settlement of Craigellachie. For the purpose of this report the area will be referred to as Craigellachie.
