Kishorn Notes From an carrannach The General Interest Magazine of Lochcarron, Shieldaig, Applecross, Kishorn, Torridon & Kinlochewe Districts NO: 360 December/January 2018 £1.00 HIGHLAND HOSPICE ARCHIVE PROJECT At the 25th anniversary awards, Cecilia Bottomley, a co-founder of the Highland Hospice, was inspired by the board of photographs depicting the achievements of the volunteers over the years. This gave her the idea of creating a Hospice Archive. Cecilia assembled a group of volunteers including former members of staff, and a retired Archivist to begin work to establish an Archive documenting the history and all the work done by both staff and volunteers The material collected was then used to create a 'Recognition Wall' celebrating all aspects of the Highland Hospice and the people who made this all possible. The completed Archive has been deposited with the Highland Archive Service for public consultation and to benefit future researchers, while the Recognition Wall is displayed within the Highland Hospice. On the 26th October Edie Watson and Jan Teago, who have been involved for 30 and 25 years respectively, attended a reception at the Highland Hospice to unveil the Archive boards. It was lucky that there was a large amount of material to pass on to the project kept by previous committee members including Aline Forrester and Edie. Jan was in the process of collating this material on the computer and putting it onto a memory stick so the timing was perfect. It is lovely to know that Lochcarron has contributed to the archive. The reception was well-attended and Edie and Jan were delighted to meet other volunteers, some new and others they had known for many years. The boards can be seen in the reception area next to the coffee shop and are open to anyone who wishes to visit. Did you know..........?It costs £7,800 every day to deliver Hospice services across the Highlands. A reminder to everyone who would like to either sponsor a light or come to the Howard Doris Centre for the lighting of the tree, this will take place at 3 pm on Wednesday 6th December. The Howard Doris centre will be hosting a coffee morning, starting at 1..00am with lots of crafts and goodies to buy. 1 an carrannach Published by An Carrannach Society, Lochcarron.

We are lost, we need on salvation. reflection But there is another name. It's actually the name that, when truly acknowledged, brings that salvation to our personal experience. Matthew, the writer recording the instruction given to Joseph, continues: What's in a name? “All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel In the Gospels, more than once, the question is (which means God with us).” (Matthew 1:22-23) asked concerning the identity of Jesus of Nazareth. People, seeing the things Jesus did and, especially, Not his identity as to his family. This was known; at the things he said, asked questions. The religious least, people thought so. Some said confidently: “Is teachers of the day asked: “Who is this who speaks not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph alone?” (Luke 5:21) Again, on the occasion of a and Simon and Judas?” (Mat. 13:55) The question meal with him: “Who is this, who even forgives had to do with more than that; it had to do with his sins?” (Luke 7:49).

That which we call a rose, by least expected to do so. The Roman officer in any other word would smell as sweet” wrote the charge of the execution, when he saw how Jesus poet. It may be that it does not matter the name died said, “Truly this man was the Son of given to a flower. It does and much, when it comes God.” (Mark 15:39) It is at the foot of the Cross that to the person that is at the origin of Christmas Jesus is acknowledged as Immanuel, God with celebrations.

  • 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.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.

    Rhidorroch Estate Ullapool Wester Ross IV26 2UB Scotland Wester Ross Area Salmon Fishery Board c/o Wester Ross Fisheries Trust Office Harbour Centre Gairloch Ross-shire IV21 2BQ 27th April 2013 Dear WRASFB members and river owners in Wester Ross, Why the ‘Managing Interactions Aquaculture Project’ must be opposed Further to my letter dated 14 January 2013 detailing “Reasons for WRASFB to withdraw support for MIAP”, please find enclosed below further information in support of my proposal that that WRASFB withdraw immediately from the Managing Interactions Aquaculture Project (MIAP). Please consider the following a resolution to vote on during the WRASFB meeting on Tuesday (30 April): Resolved: That the WRASFB withdraw support from MIAP and write to RAFTS explaining the reasons for withdrawal In summary, WRASFB should withdraw support from MIAP for the following reasons: 1) Sea lice infestation is already killing wild fish in Wester Ross 2) MIAP ignores scientific research on sea lice impacts 3) MIAP is NOT supported by Scottish Natural Heritage, Lochaber Fisheries Trust or Lochaber District Salmon Fishery Board 4) Genetic pollution is already pushing wild salmon to the brink of extinction 5) ALL rivers in Wester Ross (and across Scotland) deserve protection 6) Lack of consultation and transparency 7) Sea lice resistance to chemicals and chemical pollution Based upon all the scientific evidence and sea lice data, the only logical policy is to advocate for a blanket ban on salmon farms across the West coast of Scotland. Rather than supporting MIAP (whose partners including RAFTS and ASFB “recognises the permanence and economic importance of the aquaculture industry to Scotland and the West Coast of Scotland in particular”), WRASFB should adopt a zero tolerance approach to open net cage salmon farming in Wester Ross.
