PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

  • Farquhar Macrae by Shona Mcmillan
    A Highland Gentleman: The Roshven Fiddler Farquhar MacRae By Shona McMillan Google “Farquhar MacRae” and little information will be found pertaining to this fiddle and box player from Rosh- ven. Yet, in 2000, his funeral at Glenfinnan was one of the biggest ever seen as hundreds of people traveled from all over the Scottish Highlands and Islands to pay their re- spects to this most remarkable man. As a musician, he was not recognized as a prolific writer of tunes or as a formal teacher of students. Nevertheless, in Scotland’s traditional music scene, his name is synonymous with Highland mu- sic at its best. So, for this kindly, generous, fondly remem- bered man, it is fitting that his legacy is not to be found in the factual, emotionless listings of the Internet but rather in the living musical legacy which he gave so freely to others. From village hall dances to the largest of traditional music concerts around the world, the love and passion for mu- sic which he knew and instilled in the young is itself now being passed on for the benefit of subsequent generations. Many of today’s internationally acclaimed West Highland musicians recognize his influence in their most formative of musical years. Iain MacDonald of Roshven Records relates, “Growing up in Glenuig, I knew Farquhar since childhood. He had a significant influence on my musical upbringing and was Farquhar with the Glenuig schoolhouse in the background the first person I ever played with professionally… A quiet, gentle, self-effacing man, he would be surprised at the huge influence he has had on so many and the high regard in which he occupied by people working the land.

  • Appropriate Assessment of the Policies and Proposals Has Been Undertaken, Under the Provisions of Article 6(3) and (4) of the Habitats Directive 1992**
    West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Habitats Regulations Appraisal (including Appropriate Assessment) of the West Highland & Islands Local Plan Finalised Version (September 2010) 1 West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Foreword This document has been prepared under the requirements of the EU Habitats Directive and has applied the requirements set out by Scottish Government Policy. It is the Highland Council’s responsibility to consider whether the policies and proposals within the West Highland & Islands Local Plan are likely to have any significant effect on Special Protection Areas (including proposed SPAs), Special Areas of Conservation (including proposed SACs) and Ramsar sites, having regard to the qualifying interests and conservation objectives of those sites. Where a likely significant effect has been identified, appropriate assessment has been undertaken in order to try to ascertain whether the policies and proposals will adversely affect the integrity of the sites protected by the EU Directive and Scottish Government Policy (“the sites”). Mitigation measures have been provided where necessary in order to avoid adversely affecting the integrity of the sites. This has involved making changes to the Plan where necessary. The Council now believes that the Plan’s policies and proposals will not adversely affect the integrity of the sites. We have successfully concluded with certainty that that is the case. During the preparation of this document and the consideration of relevant representations on the Local Plan the Highland Council had discussions with and input from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in particular which helped identify and address any potential shortcomings.
