Community News CommUnity News Issue 1 18th May 2020 It’s all right to ask for help At a recent meeting of Lochalsh Collaboration, it was agreed there was a need to start a cam- paign to persuade everyone to realise that it’s all right to ask for help during this time. Neighbours are ready and willing to help and there is government funding to support initiatives. This is a piece written by Marianne Worthy of Kintail who has asked for help and realises how crucial that help is.

Kyleakin had just organised their volunteers so that inspired us to get on with it in Kyle. A quick appeal on social media (on the ‘Community Heart’ page) led to a number of volunteers to be on hand as a named contact for their street in Kyle. A lot of the volunteers were already active in helping neighbours but the volunteer list was a way of ensuring that people wouldn’t be missed out. Using the Covid Mutual resources, post- cards with contact names were distributed around each house in the village. Most people who are self-isolating already have a good net- work of neighbours or family who help with shopping etc but there are definitely vulnerable folk who don’t have this help on tap so the vol- unteers have been brilliant from that point of view and nothing is ever too much trouble.

  • Introduction the Place-Names in This Book Were Collected As Part of The
    Introduction The place-names in this book were collected as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Board-funded (AHRB) ‘Norse-Gaelic Frontier Project, which ran from autumn 2000 to summer 2001, the full details of which will be published as Crawford and Taylor (forthcoming). Its main aim was to explore the toponymy of the drainage basin of the River Beauly, especially Strathglass,1 with a view to establishing the nature and extent of Norse place-name survival along what had been a Norse-Gaelic frontier in the 11th century. While names of Norse origin formed the ultimate focus of the Project, much wider place-name collection and analysis had to be undertaken, since it is impossible to study one stratum of the toponymy of an area without studying the totality. The following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below. It makes no claims to being comprehensive, but it is hoped that it will serve as the basis for a more complete place-name survey of an area which has hitherto received little serious attention from place-name scholars. Parishes The parishes covered are those of Kilmorack KLO, Kiltarlity & Convinth KCV, and Kirkhill KIH (approximately 240, 185 and 80 names respectively), all in the pre-1975 county of Inverness-shire. The boundaries of Kilmorack parish, in the medieval diocese of Ross, first referred to in the medieval record as Altyre, have changed relatively little over the centuries.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The application seeks full planning permission for the demolition of disused agricultural buildings (previously used in the 1970’s as a Dairy), and their replacement with 8 residential units, to be built in three blocks running in a line from east to west across the site. The eastern block (identified as Plot 1) would consist of four flats, the middle and western blocks (Plots 2 and 3 respectively) would both consist of two semi-detached houses. 1.2 The applicant sought advice via their agent prior to the submission of the application as to whether the scheme might be considered as a non-material variation of a previous consent (07/01251/FULRC) for a similar housing development on the site granted by Committee in April 2009.
