  • Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles: Canna, Eigg, Muck
    Highland Archaeology Services Ltd Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles: Canna, Eigg, Muck, Rùm Report No: HAS051202 Client The Small Isles Community Council Date December 2005 Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles December 2005 Summary This report sets out general recommendations and specific proposals for the development of archaeology on and for the Small Isles of Canna, Eigg, Muck and Rùm. It reviews the islands’ history, archaeology and current management and visitor issues, and makes recommendations. Recommendations include ¾ Improved co-ordination and communication between the islands ¾ An organisational framework and a resident project officer ¾ Policies – research, establishing baseline information, assessment of significance, promotion and protection ¾ Audience development work ¾ Specific projects - a website; a guidebook; waymarked trails suitable for different interests and abilities; a combined museum and archive; and a pioneering GPS based interpretation system ¾ Enhanced use of Gaelic Initial proposals for implementation are included, and Access and Audience Development Plans are attached as appendices. The next stage will be to agree and implement follow-up projects Vision The vision for the archaeology of the Small Isles is of a valued resource providing sustainable and growing benefits to community cohesion, identity, education, and the economy, while avoiding unnecessary damage to the archaeological resource itself or other conservation interests. Acknowledgements The idea of a Development Plan for Archaeology arose from a meeting of the Isle of Eigg Historical Society in 2004. Its development was funded and supported by the Highland Council, Lochaber Enterprise, Historic Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, and the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust, and much help was also received from individual islanders and others.

  • Sound of Gigha Proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment
    Marine Scotland Sound of Gigha proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment December 2020 Partial Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment Title of Proposal Sound of Gigha proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) Purpose and intended effect Background The Scottish Government is committed to a clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse marine and coastal environment that meets the long term needs of people and nature. In order to meet this commitment our seas must be managed in a sustainable manner - balancing the competing demands on marine resources. Biological and geological diversity must be protected to ensure our future marine ecosystem is capable of providing the economic and social benefits it yields today. The EU Wild Birds Directive (2009/147/EC as codified) requires Member States to classify as Special Protection Areas (SPAs) the most suitable territories for wild birds. Building on the work of the SPA Review Working Group and taking account of existing guidelines on the identification of SPAs (JNCC, 1999), Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) have identified 13 sites which they consider essential for marine SPA status. These proposals include sites supporting wintering waterfowl, important areas for red throated divers, terns, European shag and foraging seabirds. The Sound of Gigha proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) is centred around the island of Gigha, which lies some 4 kilometres (km) off the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll and Bute (Figure 1). The SPA covers a total area of 363.27km2 extending from Macrihanish Bay in the south to the entrance of Loch Caolisport off Knapdale to the North.

  • Arran, Argyll & Bute
    COURSES The GB&I Top 100 PLAY THE GB&I TOP 100 he remote location of many of Great Britain and Ireland’s finest courses means that playing them Arran, Argyll & Bute often becomes as much an ‘experience’T as it is a golf break. Rarely is this more true than in this You’ve never undertaken a golf break like this one, but after you month’s selected area. A car, for instance, do, we reckon you’ll be searching hard for another similar one. can only be one part of your transport. Sea and air, indeed, are arguably more WORDS: Chris Bertram PHOTOGRAPHY: David Cannon, Getty useful. It would be convenient to describe our chosen area as ‘Scotland’s south west islands’. We can’t though, because three of the courses aren’t on an island – it just seems like they are. Hence, the map over the page has never been more useful. It perfectly illustrates the area we are covering as well as the extent of the challenge; a golf weekend in Southport is altogether more straightforward. But a lot less fun. Our trip takes in three main stops: the Machrihanish area near Campbeltown on mainland Scotland (albeit a slim finger of it); The Machrie on the Isle of Islay and the island of Arran. They are all fairly close to each as the crow flies but no one method of transport fits all. There are many ways to tackle the problem and GW has had experiences of two. Both were good. One option is to enlist the services of the Kintyre Express.

  • Tarbert Castle
    TARBERT CASTLE EXCAVATION PROJECT DESIGN March 2018 Roderick Regan Tarbert Castle: Our Castle of Kings A Community Archaeological Excavation. Many questions remain as to the origin of Tarbert castle, its development and its layout, while the function of many of its component features remain unclear. Also unclear is whether the remains of medieval royal burgh extend along the ridge to the south of the castle. A programme of community archaeological excavation would answer some of these questions, leading to a better interpretation, presentation and future protection of the castle, while promoting the castle as an important place through generated publicity and the excitement of local involvement. Several areas within the castle itself readily suggest areas of potential investigation, particularly the building ranges lining the inner bailey and the presumed entrance into the outer bailey. Beyond the castle to the south are evidence of ditches and terracing while anomalies detected during a previous geophysical survey suggest further fruitful areas of investigation, which might help establish the presence of the putative medieval burgh. A programme of archaeology involving the community of Tarbert would not only shed light on this important medieval monument but would help to ensure it remained a ‘very centrical place’ in the future.

  • Machrihanish Airbase Development Brief
    Machrihanish Airbase Development Brief 1 Argyll and Bute Council – Development Services Machrihanish Airbase Development Brief 1. Introduction 1.1 This Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) has been prepared in recognition of the broad redevelopment opportunities now afforded at the former RAF/NATO airbase at Machrihanish. The former airbase is one of the most significant development/redevelopment opportunities within Argyll and Bute. By virtue of its scale and its prominent and accessible location, the site is considered to be of regional importance. It is considered to have the potential to deliver significant economic, environmental and social benefits and, as such, considerable care will need to be exercised in any development/redevelopment of the asset to maximise these benefits. 2. Purpose 2.1 The purpose of this brief is to set out in broad terms the planning requirements for any subsequent re-use of the assets within the base and to ensure that the economic development potential of such assets is used as far as possible to support the local economy and to maintain and provide additional jobs for the local population. This brief supplements the policies contained within the Argyll and Bute Development Plan (Structure and Local Plan). As Supplementary Guidance, this brief will be a material consideration in the determination of development proposals for the Machrihanish site. The brief will further inform the detailed ‘masterplan’ that will be prepared in order to demonstrate how any new proposals will address the requirements of both the Development Plan and the needs of the local area. 3. Site Location, Description and Disposition 3.1 The former airbase was initially closed as an operational RAF facility in 1994.
