National Forest Land Scheme case study Kilfinan Community Forest Company: Acharossan Forest The applicant Kilfinan Community Forest Company (KCFC) is a charitable company limited by guarantee established in 2007 to take forward the community acquisition and development of Acharossan Forest. The community area covers the Kilfinan parish on the Cowal peninsula, Argyll and is formally defined using postcode area PA21. The company membership of 200 is drawn from a resident population of just over 700, a considerable decline from a high of over 2000 in the 1950s. The parish is popular with retirees, who make up 70% of the adult population, whilst approximately 60% of the private houses in the area are second homes.

  • Oban to Belfast
    Cruising Route: Oban and west Argyll to the Antrim coast and Belfast Lough This is a beautiful cruising ground with a combination of inshore and offshore sailing amid wonderful and varied scenery. The channels among the southern Hebrides offer a number of alternative routes. From Oban, the track inside the islands leads either down the Sound of Luing to Crinan or further south, or else via Cuan Sound to Kilmelford or Craobh. In these sounds – and indeed almost everywhere on this route – the tidal stream is the first consid- eration in passage planning. The tide runs very fast in Cuan Sound and in the Dorus Mor leading to Crinan, and at a significant rate in the Sound of Luing, gradually lessening down the Sound of Jura. Loch Craignish and Ardfern offer a pleasant and scenic side-trip. There are visitors’ moorings at Craighouse and Gigha. An alternative route south from Oban is offshore, via Colonsay and the Sound of Islay, with Port Askaig providing a possible stopover. The Sound of Islay is also a tidal gate, with five knot tides. It is worth remembering that working these tides to advantage can result in very fast passages! The marina at Port Ellen is only a few miles to the west whether coming east or west of Jura.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

She embraced the Highland Quality Approach and has been an invaluable member of NHS Highland’s Senior Leadership team. The recruitment process is underway to secure a new Chief Officer. Dr Grays Temporary Service Model for Women and Children’s services A new temporary service model for Women and Children’s services at Dr Gray’s Hospital is to be put in place to allow maternity and paediatric service to continue in Elgin.

This Estate condition report is based on a detailed survey of the property condition & the other facets listed below. Full technical details are retained within a property database, which will be regularly updated. Information is gathered from both physical surveys and historic information gathered & retained by Estate Officers.
