  • 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.

  • Strathcarron Project Supporting the Howard Doris Centre
    Looking towards AttadalePhoto by by PeterPeter Teago AN CARRANNACH The General Interest Magazine of Lochcarron, Shieldaig, Applecross, Kishorn, Torridon & Kinlochewe Districts NO: 367 August 2018 £1.00 “Walking to the Island” and other poems. by Alan MacGillivray "Walking to the Island” is a collection of poems which, in the author’s own words, is “A poetic evocation of boyhood summer holidays in the Wester Ross village of Lochcarron in the years during and just after the second world war.” This modest description, found on the back cover of the book, is accurate enough to whet the appetite of anyone who might casually pick it up for inspection, but fails to do justice to the scope and range of the work found within its covers. “Walking to the Island” is itself a sequence of poems and prose poetry, by turns nostalgic, celebratory, descriptive and elegiac, the totality of which is considerably more than the sum of any of its constituent parts. These are poems, which, like a good malt “uisge beatha”, which in a way they resemble, need to be savoured slowly and appreciatively. Their memories, observation, humour, wit and wisdom a complex and heady distillation of experience matured over time, and served up here in verse, which has style and variety sufficient to maintain the reader’s interest over the course of the “journey”, a journey both back in time, but also into the heart and soul of a community and culture. There is the occasional flash of anger, and overall a sense of sadness entirely in keeping with the book’s dedication to the author’s late brother James MacGillivray of affectionate memory in these parts.

  • Marine Fish Farm at Loch Kanaird, Eastern Side Of
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 6.2 NORTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE Report No PLN/092/13 22 October 2013 13/01494/FUL: Wester Ross Fisheries Ltd Loch Kanaird, Eastern Side Of Isle Martin Report by Head of Planning and Building Standards SUMMARY Description : Marine Fish Farm (Atlantic Salmon) Alterations to existing site to create single group of 46 square steel pens each 15m x 15m and allow for the installation of an automated feed barge. Recommendation - GRANT planning permission Ward : 06 - Wester Ross, Strathpeffer and Lochalsh Development category : Local Pre-determination hearing : None Reason referred to Committee : More than 5 objections and objection from consultee which cannot be resolved by conditions. 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The proposed development involves replacement of equipment at an existing salmon farm and addition of a feed barge. This would expand the physical installation (a31% increase in the total cage area) but the moorings area required would be more compact (a 37% decrease). The two groups of existing square cages, one steel and the other wood, would be replaced by a single group of 46 square steel cages each 15m x 15m. The developer also wishes to install a 150-tonne capacity automated feed barge 10m x 14.5m by 5.5m high when empty to distribute feed to the fish cages. The applicant intends to install moorings between the fish farm installation and Isle Martin to allow the mooring of harvesting raft and similar equipment when they are not in use. 1.2 The applicant is of the view that the existing ageing cage configuration is no longer fit for purpose.

The existing overhead line is 58km including the existing spurs and provides electricity to 344 customers. It is one of the last remaining cadmium copper overhead line circuits on the exposed west coast of Scotland and is considered to be a high priority for major refurbishment due to unacceptable physical condition and poor system performance. The majority of the overhead line was built in 1950 to a light duty, long span specification using 3/.093 (.017sq in) cadmium copper conductors. The circuit is three phase (three wire) for the first few kilometres from Aultbea to Laide and part way along the Opinan 11,000 volt spur. The remainder of the circuit is single phase (two wire). The original line was extended from Dundonnell Forest to Eilean Darroch in 1956 and then on to Dundonnell House in 1958. These sections of line incorporate shorter span lengths and use 3/.104 (.025sq in) copper conductors. The circuit has suffered 20 faults over the last 5 years. The majority of faults on this circuit relate to age, deterioration and under-design.

However, almost half of the population live in the four main villages of Ullapool, Aultbea, Gairloch and Lochcarron. Ullapool, with a population of 1300, is the largest of these, offering a high level of services to a wide area of population within Wester Ross and beyond into parts of Sutherland. The new secondary school and supermarket have recently added to the services available. 1.3 The area is dominated by rugged mountains, remote glens and long steep straths (mountain valleys), with fast-flowing rivers that empty into sheltered bays and sea lochs.

  • Consultation of Proposals for Overprovision Statement 2013-16
    The Highland Licensing Board Agenda 4 Item Meeting – 27 August 2013 Report HLB/107/13 No Consultation on Proposals for Overprovision Statement 2013-16 Report by the Clerk to the Board Summary Following receipt of the evidence and recommendations submitted by NHS Highland attached at Appendix 1 and a further assessment of crime statistics submitted by Police Scotland attached at Appendix 2, the Board is invited to agree options in relation to proposals for an Overprovision Statement on which to consult statutory consultees and the public and to agree an appropriate consultation period. 1. Background 1.1 On 7 August 2013, the Board agreed proposals for the process of developing a statement under section 7 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (the “Act) as to the extent to which the Board considers there to be overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises of a particular description, in any locality within the Board’s area. This process involved first ingathering evidence, where available, in relation to all of the five licensing objectives, with the assistance, in particular, of NHS Highland and Northern Constabulary – now part of Police Scotland. 1.2 The ingathering and analysis of evidence has taken longer than was initially anticipated and has not been an easy task. This is particularly because of the differences in the way in which data on alcohol-related harm is and has been collected by the various agencies in Highland, some being collected at intermediate geography/data zone level but some being collected at multimember ward level or, in the case of crime statistics, at police area level or police beat level.

  • Fain, Gruinard Estate, Wester Ross Native Woodland Planting
    Fain, Gruinard Estate, Wester Ross Native Woodland Planting Archaeological Evaluation Catherine Dagg For Scottish Woodlands Ltd Mayfield High Street Dingwall Ross-Shire IV15 9ST Fain, Gruinard Estate, Wester Ross: Native Woodland Planting Archaeological Evaluation 1.0 Background This evaluation covers an area of proposed enclosure for native woodland planting on the west side of the Fain, on the Gruinard Estate in Wester Ross. Although the ground is high and has low potential for settlement and land use, no previous systematic archaeological evaluation has been carried out, and there is considered the potential for 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 • Fencelines 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. 2.0 Methodology This evaluation consists of a desk-based assessment and rapid walk-over survey.

    26 2 Gaelic Society of Inuerness. also to give all the money that they can afford to give. Un- fortunately there is neither a Carnegie nor a Strathcona to take an interest in Gaelic literature. 7th DECEMBER, 1905. On this evening the following paper from the pen of the Rev. C. M. Robertson, Strontian, was read: FOLK-LORE FROM THE WEST OF ROSS-SHIRE. The following examples of the folk-lore of the West of the County of Ross and Cromarty have been collected during the years 1900 to 1904. Many, perhaps most, of them can lay little claim to novelty, but they supply evidence of the inclu- sion of this district in their area of distribution. They have been gathered almost wholly in Lochcarron, Kenlochewe, and, more especially, Torridon and Little Lochbroom. The two latter are the less and less known places among " frequented parts of the district. In Gairloch : Its Records, Traditions, Inhabitants, and Natural History," by Mr J. H. Dixon, a book whose high merits are well known, the folk-lore of that parish is well represented, and much of what comes under one or other of the sub-divisions of Folk- lore has found a place in various volumes of our Society's Transactions. Most of what is contained in the follow- ing pages belongs to the special division of Superstition. Of folk-lore matter noted, topographical sayings, communal nicknames and proverbs are not given. The last named, for the most part, are already known. Rhymes and sayings about places are plentiful. One that is said to have been uttered by Kenneth Odhar on first seeing the mountains named, is Beinn Eighe 's Beinn an Eoin, Beinn mhor a' Chearcaill duibh ; Liathach 's a mac air a muin, 'S mairg air an tuiteadh an sac Ann am bac moine.
