  • Strathyre and Loch Earn
    STRATHYRE AND LOCH EARN SPECIAL QUALITIES OF BREADALBANE STRATHYRE & LOCH EARN Key Features Small flats strips of farmland around watercourses Open upland hills Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’Chroin Loch Lubnaig and Loch Earn Pass of Leny Glen Ogle Landmark historic buildings and heritage sites including Edinample Castle and Dundurn Pictish Hill Fort Summary of Evaluation Sense of Place The visual/sense of place qualities are important. The open upland hills dominate much of this area, with Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’ Chroin the highest peaks, creating an open and vast sense of place with diverse features such as rocky outcrops and scree. Although open uplands are characteristic of much of the highland area of the Park they are distinctive in the Breadalbane area as being generally higher and more unbroken with distinct exposed upper slopes. Loch Earn and Loch Lubnaig are the two main lochs in the area and both have quite distinct characters. Loch Lubnaig is enclosed by heavily planted glen sides and rugged craggy hills such as Ben Ledi and the loch shores are largely undeveloped. Loch Earn in contrast is broad in expanse and flanked by steep hills to the north and south. There are areas of residential, recreational and commercial development along areas of the north and south shore. The flat glen floors are a focus for communication routes and settlement. The flat strips of farmland around the watercourses provide an enclosed landscape which contrasts with the surrounding hills. Cultural Heritage The cultural heritage of the area is of high importance with substantial evidence of continuity of use of the landscape.

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.

  • When It Comes to Climate Change, the Deer Sector Can Be a Major Part of the Solution
    The Newsletter of The Association of Deer Management Groups Issue 15 Winter/Spring 2020 When it comes to climate change, the deer sector can be a major part of the solution. Photo: Neil McIntyre Richard Cooke, Chairman That being said and, as set out in ADMG’s recent policy paper Rising to the Challenge, published in advance of Association of Deer Management Groups both of the Government reports, DMGs - which include the owners and managers of much of the land most suitable for Both the SNH and Deer Working Group woodland and forestry expansion as well as the majority of (DWG) reports to the Scottish Government Scotland’s peatlands - are uniquely placed to play a leading in 2019 and earlier this year make much role in contributing to this vital area of Government policy, of the climate change priority as a major factor in and its ambitious carbon net zero target. future deer management. There is an implication that, if woodland expansion targets are to be achieved and Owners and land managers are needed on side not just peatland projects completed without risk, further to manage deer but to recover peatland, restore native reductions in deer numbers will be required. We question woodland, and a host of other actions to mitigate that as a generality while agreeing that compensatory climate change. reductions are appropriate where the deer range is reduced by a change in land use. Many have already embarked on projects to combat climate change - many before the Scottish Government announced Climate change measures align with longer established the climate emergency.
