  • Killin's Action Plan 2012
    KKiilllliinn’’ss AAccttiioonn PPllaann 22001122 Foreword The current financial climate is having a noticeable effect on our community as is demonstrated by a lack of local job security, the closing of a major food outlet and the relentless rise in fuel prices. The community is aware that the Local Authority has had to reduce its expenditure and local effort will be needed to support some local services. Co-operation with Stirling Council and the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park is needed to agree savings, maximise efficiency and support business. Community involvement is a start, community commitment is an aim. The Action Plan will provide a framework on which local organisations can plan to build the future of Killin. It will give funders and planners a more detailed picture of current developments in Killin including local aspirations and concerns. Willie Angus Chairman of Killin and Ardeonaig Community Development Trust (KAT) INTRODUCTION This Plan sets out proposed actions that local people believe will improve their community for residents and visitors both now and into the future. It has been put together, designed and produced by local people and gives the background and main issues identified during the consultation process, before detailing some positive action proposals under the headings: w Local Economy, Jobs & Housing w Children & Young People w Environment w Tourism w Facilities & Services Although set out under these headings the issues and actions are in reality all interlinked to make up the community as a whole. This Plan is meant to be a document that can be used by local people, groups and organisations to achieve action and not just gather dust.

Introduction The Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER area encompasses the rural areas of Stirling, Clackmannanshire and West Dunbartonshire. The area crosses three local authority areas, two Scottish Enterprise regions, two Forestry Commission areas, two Rural Payments and Inspections Divisions, one National Park and one VisitScotland Region. An area criss-crossed with administrative boundaries, the geography crosses these boundaries, with the area stretching from the spectacular Highland mountain scenery around Crianlarich and Tyndrum, across the Highland boundary fault line, with its forests and lochs, down to the more rolling hills of the Ochils, Campsies and the Kilpatrick Hills until it meets the fringes of the urbanised central belt of Clydebank, Stirling and Alloa.

In January of 2018 we learned that the plan to film in Cambusbarron had officially been abandoned. “The Outlander production team earlier sought permission to build [the Fraser’s Ridge] set in woods outside Cambusbarron, near Stirling. “However, this plan is no longer going ahead.” https://www.scotsman.com/news/outlander-cast-and-crew-return-to-fife-village-1-4669949 It is unclear whether the Outlander production team withdrew their request, or whether the Cambusbarron Community Council denied them permission to film in the area. Basically, it doesn’t matter. Cambusbarron is NOT an Outlander Season Four film site. To avoid renumbering all subsequent chapters, we replaced the original, full-length Cambusbarron chapter with a starkly abbreviated version in Outlandish Scotland Journey Part Four. Having spent weeks researching and writing it, however, we hated the idea of simply discarding it. So, we didn’t! Beginning on the next page, you’ll find this chapter’s original, 2017 manuscript.
