Church of Scotland Applecross AN CARRANNACH The General Interest Magazine of Lochcarron, Shieldaig, Applecross, Kishorn and Torridon & Kinlochewe Districts NO: 354 JUNE 2017 £1.00 The Strathcarron Artisan Dairy Project. Background; West Highland Dairy is run by Kathy and David Biss, and is located around 10 miles from LCDC’s main base. They produce a variety of cheeses and other dairy products for sale via their farm shop and local outlets. Cheese and Dairy product workshops are offered throughout the year. WHD also produce a variety of hard cheeses and mould ripened cheese which take 9 months to mature. Their premises are small and located within the curtilage of their own home. WHD regularly attended our market days. In 2014, they approached us explaining that they wished to retire within the next few years. They had worked hard to establish their well-known brand over 30 years, and wished to pass on their business and knowledge to a local organisation with an agricultural background. West Highland Dairy currently produce a variety of cheeses, ice-cream, yoghurt, crème fraiche, preserves, butter, and cheese based desserts. The fact that their premises are small limits the range of products they can produce. After much discussion, it was agreed to further investigate the idea – would it be feasible? Could we pull it off? Could we arrange the finance for a new build at Strathcarron – many ifs, buts and maybes? HIE provided us with a small grant to allow for further investigation Transferring the Business; LCDC has land available for a new build. West Highland Dairy are willing to donate their business, customers, and brand name, as well as much of their equipment, stock at cost, and remain on board as consultants for two years after the build is complete. They would train two cheesemakers to take over from them on retirement. WHD owners are heavily involved with the Cheesemakers Association of Scotland. Within the next 2 years, they wish to establish a Scottish School of Excellence – a perfect opportunity to provide such a facility at Strathcarron with on-site conference, catering and dairy. Current Development Stage; Planning permission has been granted for a new build on land owned by LCDC. £56k Initial Development funding has been awarded by the Lottery Assets Fund to appoint a design team (architect, QS, safety engineer, structural engineer, land surveyor). An application for Building Warrant approval was recently submitted. We are currently working through the Stage Two Strategic Plan for submission to the Lottery Assets team for the main funding. Other sources of funding are being investigated. The estimated capital costs are £1.8million plus vat. If successful, we aim to complete the build by Spring 2018. The Build incorporates; Artisan cheese manufacturing facility. Retail outlet for local produce – food and crafts. Café serving locally sourced artisan food with a Dairy viewing platform – 32 covers with additional decked area. Conference room – 12 covers. Office space/workshop for hire.

  • The Account of Roderick Macrae
    The Account of Roderick Macrae The Account of Roderick Macrae I am writing this at the behest of my advocate, Mr Andrew Sinclair, who since my incarceration here in Inverness has treated me with a degree of civility I in no way deserve. My life has been short and of little consequence, and I have no wish to absolve myself of respon- sibility for the deeds which I have lately committed. It is thus for no other reason than to repay my advocate’s kindness towards me that I commit these words to paper. Mr Sinclair has instructed me to set out, with as much clarity as possible, the circumstances surrounding the murder of Lachlan Mackenzie and the others, and this I will do to the best of my ability, apologising in advance for the poverty of my vocabulary and rudeness of style. I shall begin by saying that I carried out these acts with the sole purpose of delivering my father from the tribulations he has lately suffered. The cause of these tribulations was our neighbour, Lachlan Mackenzie, and it was for the betterment of my family’s lot that I have removed him from this world. I should further state that since my own entry into the world, I have been nothing but a blight to my father and my departure from his household can only be a blessing to him. My name is Roderick John Macrae. I was born in 1852 and have lived all my days in the village of Culduie in Ross-shire. My father, John Macrae, is a crofter of good standing in the parish, who does not deserve to be tarnished with the ignominy of the actions for which I alone am responsible.

The Strathcarron Project is a Scottish registered charity. The charity was set up to create, and then run, the Howard Doris Centre. The concept of the Howard Doris Centre was unique and seen as an ambitious idea in its day. After 21 years, it still remains a “one-off”! We’re governed by a board of directors, all of whom live locally and give their time freely. Our directors represent everyone in our local communities - Lochcarron, Kishorn, Shieldaig, Torridon, Applecross and further afield. The Howard Doris Centre is an impressive partnership effort between the Strathcarron Project, NHS, Highland Council and Albyn Housing Association. What do we do? Since opening in August 1996, the charity has provided permanent accommodation for six local people, a respite suite and two medical beds. On Mondays to Fridays, we provide a wholesome, freshly cooked two-course lunch, with morning coffee and delicious home-baking for up to forty guests. Free transport to and from the Centre is provided. And we organise a wide variety of activities each week. Our respite suite provides a sanctuary for a week or more. It allows relatives and carers to have a well-deserved break. Often regarded as a wee holiday (all inclusive!), many respite clients book regularly. Our capable and friendly team of nurses and healthcare assistants look after patients in our two medical beds.
