Also, there are numerous low level walks for the less intrepid which take you along lochs , rivers , forest trails and coastline that invite you to experience the local flora and fauna plus catch a glimpse of local birdlife including Eagles , Kites , Buzzards and many varieties of sea birds as wells as seals and deer. The Fannaichs “The Fannaichs form an exceptional fine cluster of high mountains contained in a well defined triangle which fans out southwards from Braemore Junction on the Ullapool / Dundonnell road towards Strath Bran and the Kyle of Lochalsh railway line. The A835 road from Dingwall to Ullapool via Garve and Gorstan Junction passes the north east side of the Fannaichs over the Dirrie More betweeen Loch Glascarnoch and Loch Droma. The A832 road branches west towards Dundonnell and Gairloch at Braemore Junction. The 5 KM stretch of road between there and Loch a’Bhraoin gives a direct approach to the mountains on their north west side. The main ridge of the Fannaich mountains rises above the north shore of Loch Fannaich on the east side of the track which leads across The Nest to Loch a’Bhraoin. It consists of ten tops over 914m, seven of which form the spine of the continuous chain ( with short ridges) stretching north west from the east end of Loch Fannich for 13 miles to the A832 road“.

The area is basically a peninsula, jutting out to the north-west onto the blunt sandstone point , lined with cliffs , which stretches from Reiff to Rhuba Coigech. Two thirds of the peninsula is flat moorland. The mountains lie inland along its south -eastern base. From Rhubha Coigeach the coastline falls back into Ardmair Bay and the mouth of Strath Kinnaird. The easiest approach to Coigach is by road from Ullapool to Ledmore Junction ( A835) which continues north to Lochinver and Kylesku. It passes along the south-east edge of the area and the base of the three principal mountains. At Rumrunner , 7 KM to the north of Ardmair Bay , a secondary road , single track with passing places , branches north- west to Achiltibuie, and this provides access to the Coigach hills. It follows a twisting scenic line along the loch- sides between the highly eroded sandstone crags which arise along it’s route“.

The north-west coastline stretches from the head of Loch Ewe and Gruinard Bay to the Scoraig peninsula at the mouth of Loch Broom. To the south-east lie the mountains of Fannaich. Within these boundaries is an uninhabited maze of mountain and loch which exhibit some of the finest wilderness scenery in the Scottish Highlands. An Teallach ( 1062m) towers above the head of Little Loch Broom to the south of Dundonnell. It is the dominating feature in the landscape from all directions, a magnificent eample of Torridonian architecture which is justly considered to be one of the half dozen most splendid mountain ridges in Scotland. A good motor road ( A832) passes along three sides of the area , ( south , west and east ) , but as the majority of the mountains lie in considerable distance inland, onward progress depends mainly on the network of stalker’s paths which cross from all sides “.

    Phleum Alpinum L

    Phleum alpinum L. Alpine Cat’s-tail A scarce alpine grass with distinctive purplish flower heads, long bristly awns and short, broad and glabrous leaves. It is associated with base- rich flushes and mires, more rarely with rocky habitats, and occasionally with weakly acid substrates enriched by flushing with base-rich water. In Britain it is more or less confined to above 610 m northern and central Scotland with two southern outliers in the North Pennines. It is assessed as of Least Concern in Great Britain, but in England it is assessed as Critically Endangered, due to very restricted numbers and recent decline. ©Pete Stroh IDENTIFICATION limit for both these species (540 m) is well below the lower limit for P. alpinum in Britain (610 m). However, P. pratense Phleum alpinum is a shortly rhizomatous, loosely tufted has been recorded as an introduction at 845 m near to the P. perennial alpine grass with short, broad, glabrous leaves (-6 alpinum on Great Dun Fell (Pearman & Corner 2004). mm) and short, blunt ligules (0.5–2 mm; Cope & Gray 2009). The uppermost leaf sheath is inflated. Alopecurus magellanicus, with which it often grows, has hairy, awnless glumes and ‘thunder-cloud’ coloured flower- The inflorescences are dark-blue or brownish purple, oval to heads (red-purple in P. alpinum; Raven & Walters 1956). oblong shaped (10-50 mm). The spikelets are purplish with long awns (2-3 mm) and the keels are fringed with stiff white bristles. HABITATS Phleum alpinum is a montane grass of open, rocky habitats or SIMILAR SPECIES of closed swards on base-rich substrates, or occasionally on more acidic materials enriched by flushing or down-washed Phleum alpinum is told from P.

  • Quaternary of Scotland the GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES

    Quaternary of Scotland the GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES

    Quaternary of Scotland THE GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES The comparatively small land area of Great Britain contains an unrivalled sequence of rocks, mineral and fossil deposits, and a variety of landforms that span much of the earth's long history. Well-documented ancient volcanic episodes, famous fossil sites, and sedimentary rock sections used internationally as comparative standards, have given these islands an importance out of all proportion to their size. These long sequences of strata and their organic and inorganic contents, have been studied by generations of leading geologists thus giving Britain a unique status in the development of the science. Many of the divisions of geological time used throughout the world are named after British sites or areas, for instance the Cambrian, Ordovician and Devonian systems, the Ludlow Series and the Kimmeridgian and Portlandian stages. The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) was initiated by the Nature Conservancy Council in 1977 to assess, document, and ultimately publish accounts of the most important parts of this rich heritage. The GCR reviews the current state of knowledge of the key earth-science sites in Great Britain and provides a firm basis on which site conservation can be founded in years to come. Each GCR volume describes and assesses networks of sites of national or international importance in the context of a portion of the geological column, or a geological, palaeontological, or mineralogical topic. The full series of approximately 50 volumes will be published by the year 2000. Within each individual volume, every GCR locality is described in detail in a self- contained account, consisting of highlights (a precis of the special interest of the site), an introduction (with a concise history of previous work), a description, an interpretation (assessing the fundamentals of the site's scientific interest and importance), and a conclusion (written in simpler terms for the non-specialist).

    Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance

    Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 7.2 Corridor 2: Inverness to Ullapool and Western Isles 7.2.1 Setting the Context Corridor 2 extends north and west from Inverness to northwest Scotland and includes onward connections to the Western Isles (Eilean Siar), as shown in Figure 7.2.1. It connects the city of Inverness with Ullapool, which are approximately 92 kilometres apart. Ullapool has an onward ferry connection to Stornoway. The population of the corridor (excluding Eilean Siar) is approximately 16,000 and little change is forecast over the period to 2022333. In contrast, the population of Eilean Siar is forecast to decline over this period by almost 15 per cent334. However the largest change in population overall, shown in Figure 7.2.2, is in and around Inverness. It is expected that there will be employment growth of approximately four per cent in the Highland council area as a whole, but a decline of similar magnitude in Eilean Siar335. Areas of greatest change are shown in Figure 7.2.2. The national level of car ownership, measured as a percentage of households with access to a car, is 67 per cent. Within the corridor, car ownership levels are above average, as expected, due to the rural nature of the corridor: • Highland council area: 75 per cent; and • Eilean Siar: 70 per cent336.

    KINLOCHEWE AT EASTER. By A. R. MARTIN, B.SC., Ph.D. BEING a novice on his first visit to the West of Scotland, I have been given the job of writing up the Easter Meet at Kinlochewe. The idea is that I may say all sorts of quaint things. What with this and the impressiveness of the mountains, I feel like Gulliver being exhibited to the Brobdingnagians. But Gulliver must perform and not make excuses. On the Friday parties led by the President and Mr. Parker did Liathach and Slioch. After much whistle- blowing the President got his party packed off in cars along the Torridon road, bound for the foot of Liathach—only half an hour behind time. It must require much patience and occasionally strong lungs to be President. The morning was still and sunny, and the sky so blue that we knew it could not last so divine for long. What a banal word brown is when applied to a heather-clad hill in such a light! It would require a Titian to capture the richness of this colour, which seems so varied that it embraces the whole spectrum, from a warm brick-red to a velvety blue in the shadows. Liathach rises like a huge wedge driven up through the floor of the glen. I looked round and found my companions apparently unintimidated by its uncompromising aspect, and so I told myself that this heroic looking hill must have an Achilles' heel somewhere, and that the thing to do was to look unconcerned. The road runs along the southern base of the hill, and, therefore, the usual dull trudge up foothills is eliminated.

    Aultbea to Dundonnell 33kV Overhead Distribution Line Upgrade Environmental Statement Volume 1 Written Statement December 2009 By: For: AULTBEA TO DUNDONNELL 33kV DISTRIBUTION LINE UPGRADE ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 2009 ash design+assessment 21 Gordon Street Glasgow G1 3PL Tel: 0141227 3388 Fax: 0141 227 3399 email: [email protected] www.ashdesignassessment.co Scottish and Southern Energy Aultbea to Dundonnell 33kV Distribution Line Upgrade Environmental Statement PREFACE Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution Plc (SHEPD) are proposing to replace the existing 11,000 volt wood pole overhead distribution network between Aultbea and Dundonnell. 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.
