He described in great detail the construction of 46 examples of 'grated iron doors', or 'yetts' as they are known in Scotland (Appendix 2), and amplified the descriptions with many fine line-drawings, which are often clearer than modern photographs. He also pointed out that the method of construction used in Scotland is not found across the Border in England, or apparently in France,1 but it is found - albeit only in window-grille northern i s- notd Tyrole ndi , th e Italhoweverd H .

  • Appendix a – Environment
    Transport Scotland Forth Replacement Crossing Study – Immersed Tube Tunnel – Corridor C - Appendix A - Environment Appendix A – Environment 1 Transport Scotland Forth Replacement Crossing Study – Immersed Tube Tunnel – Corridor C - Appendix A - Environment A1 NOISE AND VIBRATION A1.1 INTRODUCTION STAG recommends that the noise appraisal follows the approach set out in WebTAG Unit 3.3.2 1. The STAG appraisal considers operational noise only, and is based on changes in traffic flows. The appraisal aims to estimate the change in the population annoyed by noise for a do-minimum strategy compared with the proposed option. The approach is to estimate the total number of people exposed to different noise levels and, using the annoyance response relationship data provided in WebTAG, calculate the change in the number of people likely to be ‘annoyed’. A method for assessing vibration is not included within either WebTAG or STAG. A1.2 KEY ISSUES A number of properties and communities lie adjacent to the routes of the road network tie-ins associated with the Tunnel C2 alignment. These include residential and other sensitive properties. However, it is noted that a number of properties located close to the northern and southern bridgeheads of the existing Forth Road Bridge will already experience significant impacts from noise generated by north and south-bound traffic on the bridge. The majority of new road network connections proposed south of the Firth Forth are located away from communities; however, there are individual properties close to the proposed roads that may be affected by traffic generated noise. On the southern shore the road network tie-ins run primarily through agricultural land to the south of the M9 to the east of Craigton.

  • Fortress Scotland
    FORTRESS SCOTLAND FORTRESS SCOTLAND SCOTTISH CND Published by Scottish CND, 15 Barrland Street Glasgow, G41 1QH Tel: 0141 423 1222 [email protected] www.banthebomb.org September 2004 1 FORTRESS SCOTLAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report would not exist without the work of several people. James N. started the project in the summer of 2003 before leaving to begin postgraduate studies. The bulk of the report has been produced by Paul C. who spent many long hours searching the World Wide Web to track down information whilst patiently putting up with the pedantry of other Scottish CND activists. Paul deserves the thanks of anybody who finds something of interest in this report as well as from everyone interested in promoting the cause of Peace in Scotland. Without his tremendous contribution, this report would not exist. Carol A. designed the front cover whilst Lucy A. helped put together the maps. Allison H. painstakingly proof-read the final draft and the report was printed with the help of staff and volunteers in Scottish CND’s office. 2 FORTRESS SCOTLAND FORWARD The stag at bay. Glens and bens. Castles and ceilidhs. The familiar shortbread-tin images of Scotland are clichéd but effective symbols for a country where tourism is a major earner. The bonnie, bonnie, banks of Loch Lomond are famed in song. But few who take the high road towards the “steep steep slopes of Ben Lomond”, realise that among the traffic hazards they may face en route are convoys carrying nuclear bombs, which regularly share the same road. Or that they are a few miles from the biggest arsenal of nuclear bombs in Europe – Coulport, a short hike away over the moors to Loch Long.
