  • Adult Salmon That Enter the Upstream Trap at Tournaig Are Mostly Female
    Adult salmon that enter the upstream trap at Tournaig are mostly female Peter Cunningham and Ben Rushbrooke, [email protected], Wester Ross Fisheries Trust, October 2012. Ben Rushbrooke photographing a grilse by the Tournaig trap in August 2012. The little Tournaig River near Poolewe is one of the smallest river systems within the WRFT area that is known to have supported an Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) population. As such, Tournaig represents ‘marginal habitat’ for wild salmon. Since 1999, the Wester Ross Fisheries Trust has operated an upstream – downstream trap near the mouth of the river system to learn about salmon and sea trout populations to inform local fisheries managers. Since 2004, the annual number of adult salmon entering the Tournaig system has varied between a low of 6 fish in 2009 and a record catch of 43 fish (to date) in 2012 [Figure 1]. Over 94% of these fish were grilse, with a majority entering the upstream trap between the last week of August and the end of September. On checking back over the years, it has become clear that the majority of grilse which have entered the Tournaig system were female fish. Of 187 grilse which were recorded entering the trap during the period 2004 – 2012 (to date), 121 (65%) were classed as female, 52 (28%) were classed as male; and the remainder (7%) were indeterminate [Figure 2]. Figure 1. Total catches of wild salmon (including grilse) and sea trout (including finnock) recorded in the upstream trap at Tournaig 1999 – 2012. The 2012 catch is at 6 October 2012 (and may be added to .

  • WESTER ROSS Wester Ross Ross Wester 212 © Lonelyplanet Walk Tooneofscotland’Sfinestcorries, Coire Mhicfhearchair
    © Lonely Planet 212 Wester Ross Wester Ross is heaven for hillwalkers: a remote and starkly beautiful part of the High- lands with lonely glens and lochs, an intricate coastline of rocky headlands and white-sand beaches, and some of the finest mountains in Scotland. If you are lucky with the weather, the clear air will provide rich colours and great views from the ridges and summits. In poor conditions the remoteness of the area makes walking a much more serious proposition. Whatever the weather, the walking can be difficult, so this is no place to begin learning mountain techniques. But if you are fit and well equipped, Wester Ross will be immensely rewarding – and addictive. The walks described here offer a tantalising taste of the area’s delights and challenges. An Teallach’s pinnacle-encrusted ridge is one of Scotland’s finest ridge walks, spiced with some scrambling. Proving that there’s much more to walking in Scotland than merely jumping out of the car (or bus) and charging up the nearest mountain, Beinn Dearg Mhór, in the heart of the Great Wilderness, makes an ideal weekend outing. This Great Wilderness – great by Scottish standards at least – is big enough to guarantee peace, even solitude, during a superb two-day traverse through glens cradling beautiful lochs. Slioch, a magnificent peak overlooking Loch Maree, offers a comparatively straightforward, immensely scenic ascent. In the renowned Torridon area, Beinn Alligin provides an exciting introduction to its consider- WESTER ROSS able challenges, epitomised in the awesome traverse of Liathach, a match for An Teallach in every way.

  • Loch Maree Fault (NW-SE)
    Walk Wester Ross 50+ walks Loch Torridon to Little Loch Broom 1 This guide describes most of the worthwhile low-level walks in the central part of Wester Ross, from Torridon to Dundonnell. Most visitors and settlers in Wester Ross are attracted by the outdoors – sea, moor, wood, loch, hill, river – and walking is the best way to experience it. (For the mountains, see the guide “Hills of Wester Ross”.) First, a gentle warning... This is a rough wild land with a lot of weather, and the walks reflect this: few are really easy. Most of the walks are on paths or tracks, but don’t expect all these to be as flat and well-surfaced as in the lowlands. Hazards may include bracken, heather, mud, bog or slippery rocks. A few pathless walks are included where careful micro-navigation is needed at certain points: these points are highlighted with a red line at the side. But don’t be put off! The weather is often good, and this is a great area for walking. Go slowly with your eyes open to see all that nature has to offer: wildflowers and plants of all kinds from trees to mosses and lichens, birds and other animals, insects, lochs (lakes) and burns (streams), ancient rocks, beautiful and spectacular scenery. And in many places there are ruins, traces of the human past from prehistoric round-houses to former crofting townships and evidence of old agriculture. The walks are arranged in 13 groups as on the map opposite. In addition to the 50 main walks, more difficult or longer extensions are often described.

  • Prehistoric Round House Structures in Wester Ross, and in Selected Areas of Skye
    Prehistoric Round House Structures in Wester Ross, and in Selected Areas of Skye Collation and Analysis of Detailed Data with regard to distribution, construction and landscape settings Anna Welti Undergraduate Dissertation University of Aberdeen Dept of Scottish Cultural Studies and Archaeology 2011 This research is dedicated to my father A.G. MacGregor, MC,DSc, FRSE Abstract The aim of this study was to understand the reasons behind the siting and structure of roundhouses in Wester Ross. Some existing records are detailed and some are very brief: inter‐ site comparisons cannot easily be made. The project was designed as a field survey to record roundhouses and their settings in detail. A database would be produced for future researchers. Sketches and photographs were to be included in the record, which was to be formatted in a manner acceptable to Highland Council HER and RCAHMS Canmore. Roundhouse sites proved more numerous than records had suggested, hence the areas in the study were limited to four; Achiltibuie, Gairloch & Poolewe, Badachro, and selected parts of Skye. The sites in other areas of Wester Ross, Lochalsh and part of Skye have been recorded to the same standard and will later be included in the database. The current database includes 234 roundhouse sites and around 100 fields. It was tested with a variety of queries. These produced some informative results about structure, entrance orientations, site locations, enclosures and field systems. Individual clusters of roundhouses were studied to examine whether site differences could indicate chronological depth. These results, together with information from site plots on both Ordnance and Geological maps, as well as from aerial photographs, have given interesting insights into roundhouses and their locations.
