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. -

Mclaren High School Former Pupils' Newsletter
McLaren High School Dear Friends of McLaren High School Welcome to the 2015 edition of the Former Pupils newsletter. I hope the following articles give you a flavour of what has been going on at McLaren High School during Session 2014/15. As you will see we continue to be a very busy, thriving and productive school community. 50th Anniversary Celebration – McLaren Five 0:50 Years at Mollands Road McLaren High School celebrates 50 years at the Mollands Road campus after the move from the old school building in Bridgend, now Callander Primary. A number of events are taking place on Saturday 5 September to help celebrate this milestone and includes Sports Matches, Tours of the School & Exhibition and also a Ceilidh. It would be great to see many FPs come and join us. More information regarding these events can be found at the back of the newsletter. Orchestra Tour 2014 After over a year of planning and months of rehearsing a party of seventy pupils and nine staff left for Spain in June 2014 to embark on a week-long tour playing four concerts on the Costa Brava. The first concert in Lloret de Mar was going well until a thunder storm approached and the group had to cut short the performance. The theme for Star Wars has never been played so fast, or with lighting (or was it lightning!?) effects. The pupils showed great professionalism in dismantling the orchestra and PA system and loading up all the equipment on the bus in less than ten minutes before the heavy rain came on! The group visited Barcelona, taking in the sights and sounds of La Rambla with street performers, shops and cafes. -

River Forth Catchment Profile
Published September 2011 River Forth catchment profile Introduction The River Forth catchment encompasses a large area – approximately 1029 km2. As can be seen in Figure 1, the catchment not only contains the River Forth itself, but also major tributaries such as the River Teith. Figure 1: River Forth catchment Land-use within the catchment is predominantly rural, comprising managed forests and farmland. The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park covers a significant portion of the upper reaches of the catchment. In the lower-lying reaches, a greater degree of urbanisation can be seen with the City of Stirling and surrounding villages, interspersed with agricultural holdings. Water resources are important within this catchment with the lochs and reservoirs serving important functions in the supply of drinking water – indeed Loch Katrine plays a vital role in providing Glasgow with much of its water. In addition, the development of small-scale micro hydro generation schemes are increasing within the catchment. The catchment contains 46 baseline1 surface water bodies, six of which are heavily modified. These heavily modified water bodies have been designated because of the modifications necessary to enable the supply of drinking water. There are five groundwater bodies associated with the catchment. Further information on the River Forth catchment can be found on the RBMP interactive map. 1 A baseline water body is a river which drains a catchment greater than 10km 2, lochs bigger than 0.5km2, all coastal waters out to three nautical miles, transitional waters such as estuaries and groundwaters. A non-baseline water body is a river or loch which falls below the size threshold. -
