Printed by J. Thomson Colour Printers PREFACE SNH Facts and Figures 1997/98 contains a range of useful facts and statistics about SNH’s work and is a companion publication to our Annual Report. SNH came into being on 1 April 1992, and in our first Annual Report we published an inventory of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). This inventory was updated in SNH Facts and Figures 1996/97. We have also provided a complete Scottish listing of National Nature Reserves, National Scenic Areas, European sites and certain other types of designation. As well as the information on sites, we have also published information on our successes during 1997/98 including partnership funding of projects, details of grants awarded, licences issued and our performance in meeting our standards for customer care. We have also published a full list of management agreements concluded in 1997/98. We hope that those consulting this document will find it a useful and valuable record.

Through Natural Standards we promise to deliver good quality services and foster customer care in everything we do. One of our commitments under Natural Standards is to monitor how quickly we respond to enquiries. The majority of queries fall into eight broad categories: information & advice; publications; grants; consultations; licences; permits; objections to SSSI notifications; and management agreements. Each category has its own standard as regards to how long a reply should take. These are set out in our Natural Standards leaflet which is available free of charge from any of our offices. The table below outlines our performance for 1997/98: NATURAL STANDARDS CATEGORY TOTAL CONTACTS WITHIN STANDARDS Information & Advice 9500 97% Consultations 1614 94% Grants 336 90% Management Agreements 23 87% Publications 5567 97% Objections to SSSIs 8 100% Licences 300 96% Permits 257 64% In 1997/98 we received a total of 72,017 contacts; nearly all enquiries were answered on the same day, and where further action was required we met the required standards on more than 96% of occasions. The majority of enquiries sought information or advice and here our standards were even higher; again most enquiries were satisfied immediately and for the 9500 that were not, a final response was supplied within standards on 97% of occasions. 6 SNH responses to Government and other national consultations from 1 April 1997 to 31 March 1998 SENDER GOVERNMENT TOPIC DATE FINAL YES/NO RECEIVED RESPONSE SODD y Draft National Planning Policy Guideline: Coastal Planning 05/03/97 29/04/97 MAFF y Proposed Changes to Regulations to Deal with Private Kills 05/03/97 11/04/97 Department of y Transport Investment, Transport Intensity & Economic 06/03/97 15/05/97 Transport Growth SOAEFD y General Licence to Kill or Take Wild Birds: Use of Cage Traps 10/03/97 14/04/97 Scottish Homes n Scottish Homes Strategic Plan 1997/2000 10/03/97 05/07/97 SOAEFD y Salmon Strategy Task Force Report 11/03/97 16/05/97 SODD y Planning and Telecommunication 14/03/97 16/05/97 Department of y Consultation on the Phasing Out of the Use of Leaded Shot 14/03/97 24/04/97 Environment in Wetlands SODD y Revision of National Planning Policy Guideline: Retailing 17/03/97 09/05/97 MAFF y Proposed Amendments to the Fresh Meat & Poultry 20/03/97 02/04/97 Regulations Scottish Office y Transport Strategy: Keeping Scotland Moving 24/03/97 28/04/97 SODD y Edinburgh - Glasgow Transport Links Study 24/03/97 14/04/97 SEPA y Marine Cage Fish Farming in Scotland 15/04/97 24/06/97 COSLA n Development Services Forum.

    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 5.2 SOUTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE Report No PLS/011/14 25 February 2014 13/04363/FUL: Mr John Mann Corran Ferry Hotel, Onich, Fort William, PH33 6SE Report by Area Planning Manager – South SUMMARY Description : Erection of restaurant and bar Recommendation - GRANT Ward : 22 - Fort William and Ardnamurchan Development category : Local Development Pre-determination hearing : None required Reason referred to Committee : Timeous objections from members of the public residing at 5 or more separate addresses. 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 Planning permission is sought for a replacement for the Corran Inn, which was demolished in late 2013. The proposed development would comprise a bar and restaurant, with the restaurant on ground and first floors, and a self contained one bedroom manager's flat, accessed via an external stair, on the first floor. The proposed footprint would largely coincide with the former building. 1.2 Informal pre-application enquiry 12/04272/PREAPP was submitted: change of use from hotel/B&B accommodation to 4/5 self catering units within existing building, with existing bar retained. Generally supportive response subject to occupancy controls to prevent units being sold off separately. 1.3 The site is just off the A82 approximately 9 miles south of Fort William, adjacent to the queue for the ferry crossing from Nether Lochaber to Ardgour, and next to the Corran Bunkhouse. There is a car park in front of the former Inn, accessed off the road to the ferry. No changes are proposed to the existing access and car park. 1.4 No supporting information submitted.

  • Braehead Iron Age Settlement
    RLHF Journal Vol.11 (2001/2) 3. Braehead Ironage Settlement — A Volunteer’s Tale Bruce Henry [First published in A Touch of GAS Autumn 2001] 1939 - the Luftwaffe take some aerial photos of Barclay Curle, Scotstoun, the docks and Renfrew - Braehead stands out clearly. 1950s - Dr. J. K. S. St Joseph takes further photos of the farmland to the west of King George V Dock. 1968 - the RAF take even more photos of the area. With all this photography going on something had to be found to justify it so in March 1973 the late Jack G. Scott started excavating a ditched enclosure identified from the air at Shiels Farm, soon to be developed as a whisky blending and bottling plant (a waste of good malt). He had a grand total of under 10 excavators, but he called in the first volunteers – always assuming the Luftwaffe and RAF used conscripts. By August 1974, the familiar team of students and volunteers had established sites of at least three round houses within the 45m (max) diameter oval ditch dating from the late Bronze/early Iron Age. Over a quarter of a century later, word got out that Ikea were planning to open a store at the Braehead shopping development. As the only substantial piece of land lay between the whisky bottling plant and the KGV Dock, close to Jack Scott’s enclosure, the aerial photographs were revisited. A vague outline of a possibly similar site was identified as worthy of further investigation. Then one evening in late 1999, when heading to a meeting of the Renfrewshire Local History Forum, Derek Alexander noticed that heaps of spoil had been dumped on the site.

  • A History of the Lairds of Grant and Earls of Seafield

THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.
