Purchased by the vendors in 2005 the business was operated as a self-catering business until 2010 and since that time has operated as a Hotel, latterly trading in wet sales only. Due to the need to upgrade fire safety requirements the Hotel has not traded with letting rooms in recent years but we understand that bringing the Hotel into full operation again would be a fairly straight forward matter and the vendors have full details of the requirements to do so. The footprint of the property offers excellent amenity space extending to circa 1.5 acres. The internal aspects of the property require a degree of redecoration. The vendors accept that new owners would be better placed to develop the business both in terms of facilities and trade. Presently operating as a bar, there is clear scope to improve trade with the provision of food service and bring the accommodation back into use. All letting bedrooms have en-suite facilities; 3 rooms having superlative sea views.

Community Safety Activity Community Engagement - Activities We promote fire safety and engage with the community through a number of different initiatives, which include working with partner agencies in promoting road safety, addressing anti-social behaviour, and providing fire and road safety advice to the community in general. We undertook a variety of community engagement activities during this quarter, which included: Safe Highlander - Wick We supported the delivery of Safe Highlander in Wick during this quarter with approximately 400 primary school children from schools throughout the area attending. This is a multi agency event attended by representatives from Red Cross, Police Scotland, SSPCA, Drug & Alcohol, Internet Safety as well as the Fire and Rescue Service. It is an educational activity based on a partnership approach, aiming to tackle challenging issues of community safety and crime prevention. Children following the event become more aware of personal safety, potentially avoid becoming victims of crime, understand how to react to emergency situations and encourage good citizenship. Scottish Fire and Rescue Service staff advise and educate pupils to recognise fire hazards in the home and understand what to do in the event of a smoke alarm going off at home and the importance of working smoke alarms and fire action plans.

In these cases, there is also a legal duty, under the same Regulations, for ONR to determine an area within which prior information is to be distributed to the public.

    AULTBEA & GAIRLOCH MEDICAL PRACTICE FLEXIBLE GP OPPORTUNITY Retirement has created an opportunity for an enthusiastic General Practitioner to join our relaxed and friendly team.

Plus we are just over an hour from Ullapool, which hosts the ferry service to the Western Isles. Working here has its challenges but is generally less pressured and more varied and rewarding than would be the day to day experience of most GPs. In the interest of attracting the best candidate(s) the post on offer can be flexed to suit your personal circumstances. The job here can work for an experienced GP looking for a change of environment but would equally be a good fit for a recently qualified GP with an interest in rural medicine. If you are interested why not give us a call and we can have a chat about different options. We cover a large area of Wester Ross which lies on the famous www.northcoast500.com route containing remote, mainly coastal, rural settlements. We offer the opportunity to practise truly holistic, family centred, rural medicine in a relaxed environment in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. • Currently 4 GP partners, 2 Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurse • GMS contract, list size 2,200 • Vision clinical system + Docman for mail handling • Routine appointments @ 15 minutes • Work from 2 health board owned surgery sites; one in Gairloch and one in Aultbea • Many leisure opportunities (walking, climbing, cycling, watersports, golf) and good local schools • GP training practice & University of Aberdeen medical student placement training • Out-of-hours: weekday nights (Mon – Thurs) we cover our own patients via a shared rota (not busy).

  • Tourism Facilities & Visitor Services Baseline Report 2019
    Tourism Facilities & Visitor Services Baseline Report 2019 Produced as part of the Wester Ross Destination Management Plan preliminary research Context Upwards of an estimated c.100,000 tourists visit Wester Ross each year, sustaining local communities through their input to the local economy and tourism accounts for 35% of employment1. However, in the current climate (Summer 2019) there are concerns that a rise in tourism of up to 27% (estimate2) over the past few years may not be sustainable. Although a different perspective is that this has followed a deep recession in the tourism industry and visitor numbers have yet to return to the high levels enjoyed during the 1990s. The current situation is exacerbated by Local Authority and Public Agency budget cuts which have resulted in plans to close public toilets and a deterioration in road quality. In addition, the type of visitor has changed, Wester Ross is welcoming large amounts of campervans which require waste disposal facilities which are not yet in place. Local people are reporting over-flowing carparks and bins, increasing litter pollution and irresponsible behaviour. It is not unusual for local residents to cite increased litter as a negative aspect of tourism3 and this together with other perceived negative impacts can become challenging to tourism development as the host community begin to view visitors less than favourably. Therefore, the World Tourism Organisation advises regions to adopt a model for tourism management which considers the social as well as economic and environmental impacts of tourism4. Mass tourism is not going away5, and currently, there is no hard-empirical evidence on visitor numbers, expectations and behaviour or condition of assets in Wester Ross which would allow communities, businesses, local authorities and public agencies to plan proactively.
