Junior G.C. Angus, Arbroath G.C. There is some confusion concerning the spelling of the name of the golf club in Taynuilt. The name of the first club, formed in 1891, is shown as Bonawe in the Annuals, but newspaper items four or five Argyllshire, Acharacle years later covering its activities have it as Bonaw. The second club, whose course was opened in 1905, named as Bunawe and also, in newspapers, as Bonawe, but it appears to have lasted only a year as Campbelltown Hillside another course was opened in 1906. I also had difficulty with an accurate location of the courses, so the map locations are approximate.

  • Loch Etive ICZM Plan
    POLICY ZONE B: NORTH CONNEL TO ACHNACREE BAY (CONNEL NARROWS) LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS This zone has a diverse range of adjacent coastal vegetation, including small cultivated fields and woodlands. A well developed hinterland contrasts with the simple uncluttered water surface and largely undeveloped shoreline. Settlement is broadly linear and parallel with the coast throughout the policy zone. SEASCAPE CHARACTERISTICS The seascape is characterised by a narrow elongated fast moving tidal channel, with some subtle bays west of Connel Bridge on the southern side of the Loch. Under the Connel Bridge, the tidal Falls of Lora are recognised as a major natural heritage feature and are a tourist attraction in their own right. Generally the water surface has a feeling of enclosure as the area is contained by low but pronounced slopes and the almost continuous presence of fast moving currents. However, a maritime presence is also reflected in the movement of boats, and the occasional view of open sea. Connel Bridge & Narrows North Connel shoreline looking east to View east to Kilmaronig narrows from Image courtesy of Argyll and Bute Council Connel Bridge Connel Bridge Image courtesy of Argyll and Bute Council Image courtesy of Argyll and Bute Council ACCESS Access can be sought at a number of locations throughout this policy zone. There is good access to Ardmucknish Bay from the pontoon at Camas Bruaich Ruaidhe, although prior permission to use this pontoon must be sought. Access to Falls of Lora is via the two old ferry slipways. The slip at Connel opposite the Oyster Inn has limited car parking facilities and is suitable for shore divers and kayakers, however boats cannot be launched from this slip.

  • Fole Objection
    Review of the application and Environmental Statement submitted by Dawnfresh Farming Limited for the formation of fin-fish (Rainbow Trout) farm comprising 10 No. 80m circumference cages plus installation of feed-barge at Sailean Ruadh (Etive 6) Loch Etive, Argyll And Bute (planning ref 13/01379/MFF) Friends of Loch Etive Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation SC043986 c/o Muckairn Taynuilt Loch Etive PA35 1JA July 2013 Executive Summary i) Dawnfresh Farming Limited, the rainbow trout fish-farming company, is seeking planning permission to build a massive and permanent floating 10-cage fish-farm at Sailean Ruadh on Loch Etive, effectively doubling the tonnage of rainbow trout as compared to their five existing farms on Loch Etive. ii) While slightly smaller than the original 14-cage application withdrawn in July 2013 following a storm of local protest, the new applications retains most of the features of the earlier application that locals found so objectionable and would be a significant and unacceptable industrialisation of fish-farming activity on Loch Etive. iii) While Dawnfresh had tried to suggest that the initial 14-cage fish-farm application was part of some wider consolidation plan for its sites on Loch Etive as a whole, it has now dropped all pretences to be seeking to reduce its other operations on Loch Etive. Consolidation does not form part of the revised 10-cage application being considered by the Argyll and Bute Council. The proposed fish-farm will effectively double the total tonnage of farmed-fish on Loch Etive, following which Dawnfresh has let slip that it expects the other sites to ‘increase organically over time’, possibly by exploiting recently- granted Permitted Development Rights which allow the addition of extra cages and changes in feed- barges at existing sites without any further public consultation.

  • Traces in Scotland of Ancient Water-Lines
    TRACES IN SCOTLAND OF ANCIENT WATEE-LINES MARINE, LACOSTRINE, AND FLUVIATILE WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE DRIFT MATERIALS ON WHICH THESE TRACES ARE IMPRINTED AND SPECULATIONS REGARDING THE PERIOD IN THE WORLD'S HISTORY TO WHICH THEY MAY BE REFERRED, AND THE CLIMATIC CHANGES THEY SUGGEST BY DAVID MILNE HOME, of Milne Graden, LL.D., F.K.S.E. EDINBURGH DAVID DOUGLAS, CASTLE STREET 1882 SEUL AMD COMPANY, EDINBURGH, GOVERNMENT BOOK ANT) LAW PItTNTKRS FOR SCOTI.ASH. ANCIENT WATER-LINES, fto. INTKODUCTION. Attention has been from time to time drawn to the traces of sea- terraces, more or less horizontal, at various levels. These traces occur in many countries, especially in those bounded by the sea. Dr Chambers, in his "Ancient Sea-Margins," published in the year 1848, gave a list of many in our own country, and he added a notice of some in other countries. So much interested was he in the subject, that not content with a special inspection of the coasts, and also of the valleys of the principal rivers in Scot land, he made a tour round and through many parts of Eng land, and even went to France to visit the valley of the Seine. Dr Chambers had previously been in Norway, and had been much interested in the terraces of the Altenfiord, described first by M. Bravais. He, however, did not confine himself to Europe, — he alluded also in his book to the existence of terraces in North America, as described by Lyell and others. The subject was one which had about the same time begun to engage my own attention ; — as may be seen from references in Dr Chambers' book, to information he obtained from me.

The Right of Translation and Re-production Reserved. GLASGOW : PRINTRD AT THE UXIVERSITY PHK r.Y ROnHRT MACI F.iinsK. PREFACE. This book was begun as the work of holidays, and was intended to be read on holidays, but there is not the less a desire to be correct. The primary object is to show what is interesting near Loch Etive, and thus add points of attachment to our country. There is so much that is purely legendary, that it was thought better to treat the subject in a manner which may appear preliminary rather than full, going lightly over a good deal of ground, and, from the very nature of the collected matter, touching on subjects which may at first appear childish. It is believed that to most persons the district spoken of will appear as a newly discovered country, although passed by numer- ous tourists. The landing of the Irish Scots has held a very \-aguc place in our history, and it is interesting to think of them located on a spot which we can visit and to find an ancient account of their King's Court, even if it be only a fanciful one written long after the heroes ceased to live. The connection of Scotland and Ireland, previous to the Irish invasion, is still less known, and to see any mention of the events of the period b\- one who maj' reasonabl\- be supposed to ha\'o spoken in vi PREFACE.
