NO: 386 MAY 2020 COMPLIMENTARY TOMORROW. Well, well, Lachie, let’s be seeing to you. You’ve finished your mash, I see. Would you like your bucket of water now? I’ll just draw it off for you. There, boy, you’re enjoying that. This heat’s not what you’re used to back home, up and down the ben with the gralloched beast on your back. It’s a trauchle for all of us, far from the shores of Loch Carron, or wherever we’ve come from. Maybe these hardy wee Indian lads can take it, or the big strapping Aussies with their shady hats. But Roddy and me, we’d rather be out in the boat off Plockton after the cuddies in a good rainsquall from the Cuillins. These Turks up there on the heights are laughing at us, I’ll be bound. It’s us’ll be trying to take the smile off their faces the morn’s morn. Let’s be seeing to your coat now. My goodness, these ticks are a right pest, we’d better be getting some of them out and squashed. Ay, it’ll be a warm day tomorrow, I’m thinking. As bad as that first day, off the ‘Euryalus’ on to the beach at Cape Helles and up thon blasted cliffs. You mind, Lachie, you spent most of the day ferrying the ammo and water to these poor devils of the Lancs stuck halfway up the rocks for half the night. A lot of them bought it that day, and a few good ponies forbye. Not what you were trained for. You’d know you were doing your job if you had the barrel of a screw -gun on your back footing it up the brae to a fine gun-position, so’s Roddy and Uisdean and myself could get it set up on a nice line of fire. But I’m thinking you’ll be out of it again the morn. Looks like these Gallipoli cliffs will be too much even for you. So us Lochcarron and Stornoway lads will be putting our backs into it and humphing the bits ourselves under all that the Pashas can fling at us. Good job we’re the tallest lads in the whole British Army, the biggest targets as well, I’m thinking. Ay, it’ll be a warm tomorrow all right. But I’ll see you in the early morning, as we’ll be loading you and the other garrons up with the guns and ammo to take to the assembly points. Then you’ll be back and forth most of the day bringing up the spares and extra ammo and, maybe, carrying a few of us back to the docs. Let’s hope I don’t see you then. Well, I’ll just say oidche mhath leat, a’ Lachaidh, and hope to see you if we’re spared and well. Time for a few verses from the Good Book before I turn in. Not that I’ll sleep much, I’m thinking. Alan MacGillivray (The Ross Mountain Battery, part of the 4th Highland Mountain Brigade of the Royal Artillery, the only mountain artillery unit in the British Army, was recruited from Ross and Cromarty, with sections based in Stornoway, Lochcarron and Dingwall. Along with the Argyll and Bute Batteries, it deployed the ‘screw-guns’, 10-pounder breech-loading cannons capable of being quickly assembled from sections carried on the backs of Highland ponies, or garrons, up mountainsides to commanding positions. It first saw service in Gallipoli in 1915 and suffered heavy losses. Between April and June, 62 officers and men were killed or wounded out of about 600; further losses forced the amalgamation of the Ross and Argyll Batteries into one before the Gallipoli force was evacuated in December 1915. The Mountain Batteries went on to serve in Mesopotamia and Salonika, where they ended the war in 1918. Because they could not adequately cope with the terrain, the ponies were replaced by locally-sourced mules.) 1 All Saints (Scottish Episcopal) AN CARRANNACH Mission Kinlochewe Published by An Carrannach Society, Lochcarron.

Box 3006, N-7001 Trondheim, Norway SYNOPSIS Primary (compactional) magnetic fabrics and multicomponent rem- anences are recognized in the Stoer and Torridon Groups. Low tempera- ture (LT) blocking remanences are randomized around 400-600°C and relate to a post-Torridonian magnetic overprint, possibly of early Mesozoic age. In the Stoer Group (and some Stoer boulders in the basal Torridon Group) LT remanences are partly or fully carried by magnetite (titanomagnetite). High temperature (HT) remanences are characterized by discrete unblocking above 600°C, having a specular haematite remanence carrier. Results of a conglomerate test of some Stoer boulders provides a positive stability test for HT remanences in the Torridon Group, and a convergence of evidence suggests that remanence acquisi- tion of both the Stoer and Torridon Groups was facilitated by both detrital and early diagenetic processes.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

  • 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.

  • Non-Compliance with Condition 5 of Permission 11
    Agenda THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL 6.8 Item NORTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE Report PLN/056/14 05 August 2014 No 14/01868/S42: Scottish Salmon Company Site North West of Sgeir Dughall Loch Torridon Diabaig Torridon Report by Head of Planning and Building Standards SUMMARY Description: Operation of a marine fish farm (Atlantic salmon) without compliance with Condition 5 of planning permission 11/04228/FUL relating to a ten year time limit. Recommendation: REFUSE PLANNING PERMISSION Ward: 6 – Wester Ross, Strathpeffer and Lochalsh Development category: Local Development Pre-determination hearing: Hearing not required Reason referred to Committee: Manager’s discretion 1.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 This is an application for the removal of Condition 5 of planning permission 11/04228/FUL for a fish farm site on the north-eastern shore of outer Loch Torridon, north west of Diabaig. Condition 5 states: The planning permission hereby granted shall be limited to a period of ten years from the date of the decision notice. Reason: to allow alternatives to controlling sea lice to be provided within that time in recognition of the ongoing concerns with regard to the impacts on wild fisheries, whilst allowing the operator time to find alternative culture techniques for the site, for example, closed containment. 1.2 The site comprises 14 x 100 m circle cages with 2.5m high top nets and a 220 tonne feed barge. The cages are in a single group within a 65m x 65m grid matrix marked by 24 grey marker buoys. The area of the development is nearly 37 ha.

  • Sea-And-Coast.Pdf
    Sea and Coast Proximity to the sea has a huge influence on the biological richness of Wester Ross. The area has a long, varied and very beautiful coastline, ranging from exposed headlands to deeply indented, extremely sheltered sea lochs. The Wester Ross sea lochs are true fjords, with ice-scoured basins separated from each other and from the open sea by relatively narrow and shallow sills, and in Scotland are features found only on the west coast. The coast supports a wide variety of habitats including coastal heaths and cliffs, rocky shores, sandy beaches, sand dunes and salt marshes. Our cliffs and islands are home to large numbers of seabirds, which feed at sea and come ashore to nest and rear their young, while harbour (common) seals produce their pups on offshore rocks and skerries. Turnstone and Ringed plover frequent the mouth of the Sand river in winter. Tracks of otter can often be seen in the sands nearby. Underwater, the special habitats greatly enhance the marine biodiversity of the area. Inside the quiet, sheltered basins, conditions on the seabed are similar to those in the very deep sea off the continental shelf, especially when a layer of peaty fresh or brackish water floats on the surface after rain, cutting out light and insulating the water below from marked temperature changes. Here, mud and rock at relatively shallow depths support animals which are more typical of very deep water. By contrast, strong water currents in the tidal narrows and rapids nourish a wide range of animals, and communities here include horse mussel reefs, flame shell reefs, brittlestar beds and maerl (calcareous seaweed) beds.

  • Access and Transport Baseline Report 2019
    Access and Transport Baseline Report 2019 Produced as part of the Wester Ross Destination Development 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 employment[1]. However, in the current climate (Summer 2019) there are concerns that a rise in tourism of up to 27% (estimate[2]) 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 tourism[3] 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 economical and environmental impacts of tourism[4]. Mass tourism is not going away[5]. But 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.

    Alligin Native Woodland Creation Alligin Woodlands, Brybeg, Alligin, Torridon, Wester Ross SRDP case no. 4114380 Archaeological Evaluation Catherine Dagg For UPM Tilhill 43, Clachnaharry Road Inverness IV3 8RA Alligin Native Woodland Creation Alligin Woodlands, Brybeg, Alligin, Torridon, Wester Ross SRDP case no. 4114380 Archaeological Evaluation 1.0 Background This evaluation covers areas of proposed enclosure for planting and regeneration on the east side of the Alligin River, on croft hill grazing which is part of Torridon Estate, managed by the National Trust for Scotland. Previous archaeological work has identified a possible bronze or Iron Age site and shielings dating to the Early Modern period within or adjacent to the survey area, so there is considered the potential for further archaeological features or areas with archaeological potential to be located within or adjacent to the areas of proposed enclosure. The Forests and Archaeology Guidelines, produced by the Forestry Authority, recommend that: • No new planting should occur on archaeological sites. Normally an unplanted area should extend for at least 20m beyond the outermost recognised feature of the site • Where groups of archaeological features are close together they should be incorporated into a larger area of open space • Fence lines should not cross the archaeological site • Archaeological sites should not be used as a source for stone or other materials In addition, it is generally accepted that the best management practice for archaeological features is light grazing, to prevent the features from being obscured or damaged by vegetation growth within fenced areas even if the site is left clear of tree planting. Where the site is close to the perimeter fence, the fence line should be altered to exclude the site.

  • 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.
