  • 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.

    Contents Summary 2 Introduction: Food access, the SCDP and the islands 4 What’s happening on the islands? 5 Barra Bute Islay Mull and Iona Orkney Skye Small Isles Western Isles Barriers to healthier food access on islands 13 Feeding back the experience of island life to agencies 17 What can be done? 18 Community action Getting the message across Responses from the Agency panel Contacts 24 Agencies Participants Publications 26 Acknowledgements 28 1 Summary ‘We are all Scottish but we are a little bit different on the islands in all sorts of ways.’ The Food and Health on Scottish Islands networking conference for island communities was organised by the Scottish Community Diet Project. The event took place in Glasgow on 23 October 2003. There were fifteen participants including community, health, enterprise and council representatives from the Isles of Barra, Bute, Islay, Mull and Iona, Orkney, Skye and Lochalsh, the Small Isles and the Western Isles, with particularly strong representation from different projects on Skye. The aims of the conference were: • to share information on what was happening in the islands in terms of food and health • to discuss the barriers to healthier food access on the islands • to examine the role of communi ty action • to identify ways of ‘getting the message across’ • to feed back the findings of the conference to key agency representatives and to island communities themselves. The conference revealed that although the islands share, in broad terms, many of the barriers to accessing healthy food found in other parts of Scotland – ie availability, affordability, culture and skills - the issues differ in the detail, even within islands.

Xonoon GIBBINGS & COY., LTD., 18 Bury Street, w.c. 190 0. TO Sir KENNETH MATHESON, Bart. OF LOCHALSH, A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE, BRAVE, AND STALWART OF HIGHLAND FAMILIES. PREFACE. The first edition of the late Mr Mackenzie's "History of the Mathesons" appeared in 1882, and the book has now been long out of print. Mr Mackenzie had a difficult task in writing this work, for though the Clan in the 14th century undoubtedly rivalled in position and power the neighbouring Mackenzies, yet through the action of the Macdonalds in the following century its unity was broken, and it became a " minor clan," with no charters, and with no references thereto in public documents. The individual history of the Northern Clans at best begins with the 15th century, but here Mr Mackenzie had only the clan traditions to avail himself of until the 17th century, when the minor clans all over the North come into the light of history from under the shadow of the larger clans and their chiefs.

  • Appropriate Assessment of the Policies and Proposals Has Been Undertaken, Under the Provisions of Article 6(3) and (4) of the Habitats Directive 1992**
    West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Habitats Regulations Appraisal (including Appropriate Assessment) of the West Highland & Islands Local Plan Finalised Version (September 2010) 1 West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Foreword This document has been prepared under the requirements of the EU Habitats Directive and has applied the requirements set out by Scottish Government Policy. It is the Highland Council’s responsibility to consider whether the policies and proposals within the West Highland & Islands Local Plan are likely to have any significant effect on Special Protection Areas (including proposed SPAs), Special Areas of Conservation (including proposed SACs) and Ramsar sites, having regard to the qualifying interests and conservation objectives of those sites. Where a likely significant effect has been identified, appropriate assessment has been undertaken in order to try to ascertain whether the policies and proposals will adversely affect the integrity of the sites protected by the EU Directive and Scottish Government Policy (“the sites”). Mitigation measures have been provided where necessary in order to avoid adversely affecting the integrity of the sites. This has involved making changes to the Plan where necessary. The Council now believes that the Plan’s policies and proposals will not adversely affect the integrity of the sites. We have successfully concluded with certainty that that is the case. During the preparation of this document and the consideration of relevant representations on the Local Plan the Highland Council had discussions with and input from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in particular which helped identify and address any potential shortcomings.

  • 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.
