  • The Ben and the Glen Celebrating 21 Years of the John Muir Trust Caring for Nevis
    johnmuirtrust.org/helpnevis The Ben and the Glen Celebrating 21 years of the John Muir Trust caring for Nevis School of rock Local lad Nathan Berrie on what Nevis means to him Woodland wonders SUPPORTED BY Restoring native tree cover in Glen Nevis johnmuirtrust.org/nevis21 02 Introduction Coming of age! WELCOME to our celebration of 21 years of caring for the Ben Nevis Estate – a story that began when the John Muir Trust took on the guardianship of this dramatic landscape in July 2000. The land we are privileged to look after includes the upper part of the southern and western flanks of Ben Nevis, plus the neighbouring summits of Carn Mor Dearg, Aonach Beag and Sgurr Choinneach Beag. This chain of high peaks is linked by mountain ridges that slope down to the Water of Nevis as it plunges in torrents through the densely wooded Steall Gorge. As a wild places conservation charity, we have many goals at Nevis. One of these is to enable the native woodland in Steall Gorge to expand and fulfil its natural potential – benefitting the many plant, insect and animal communities that it supports. Equally, we want to ensure that everyone can fully experience the area by maintaining paths and access routes, as well as develop new and innovative ways for people to immerse themselves in the landscape. Like so many others, this wild mountain and glen has shaped my life – providing both challenge and joy. I first visited as a child and remember climbing the Ben, crossing the wire bridge and scaling the peaks on the south side of Glen Nevis.

    Downloaded from http://trngl.lyellcollection.org/ at University of California-San Diego on June 2, 2015 HVINGSTON—ICE-ACTION IN LOCHABER. 39 No. III.—BOULDERS AND OTHER EVIDENCES OF ICE-ACTION iff LOCHABER. By COLIN LIVINGSTON, Corresponding Member, Fort William. With a Map [Plate II.]. [Read 12th April, 1900.] THE chief evidence of ice-action in Lochaber, as elsewhere through­ out Scotland, is, perhaps, the configuration of its glens and valleys, caused in large measure by the denuding action of the glaciers of which they were at one time the beds. The district is intersected by two main valleys, the best known, Glen More, which extends from the Argyllshire coast in the west, with the Island of Mull on one side and the district of Lorne on the other, to the Moray Firth on the east, lies along an anticlinal axis, with its two extremities occupied by the sea. The middle is partly occupied by a chain of lakes, Loch Ness on the eastern slope and Loch Lochy on the western. Loch Oich is really on the watershed, though it is naturally connected with the eastern slope, and artificially by the Caledonian Canal, with the basin of the Lochy in the west. The summit-level of the canal is only 100 feet above that of the sea, and the watershed at the bottom of the valley is some 20 or 30 feet higher. Loch Ness and Loch Lochy are both very deep—about 90 fathoms, and they are evidently due, in part at least, to the action of the ice, which first largely scooped out their beds, and then excluded from the depressions the detrital matter which now blocks the lakes at their outlet, and gradually, as the ice melted, gave place to water.

  • The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Mulroy Designation
    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Mulroy The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.
