The production area has been declassified by the Food Standards Agency due to lack of commercial harvesting. For more information on Food Standards Agency Classification please visit: http://www.food.gov.uk/scotland/safetyhygienescot/shellmonitorscot/shellclassesscot/ 10.2 Bathymetric Information Loch Long has a total length of 26.9 km and a catchment area of 166 km². Two sills divide Loch Long into two water areas or basins. One is located at the loch entrance (near Blairmore) and the other just northwest of Portincaple. The basins have a maximum water depth of 60 and 92 m. Maximum water depth for the loch is 97 m. As a whole, the loch takes on average 6 days to flush, although each basin will have its own flushing characteristics. Fresh/tidal flow ratio which reflects the influence of fresh water on the loch is 0.2, which is low for the size and volume of this loch, implying generally high salinity.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.

    Closing the Opportunity Gap (CtOG) Target ‘h’ Template for Developing Local Target Setting for Rural Services Priority Areas (RSPAs) To be completed for each RSPA CtOG Target ‘h’: By 2008, improve service delivery in rural areas so that agreed improvements to accessibility and quality are achieved for key services in remote and disadvantaged communities. 1. Geography of Rural Service Priority Area Community Planning Partnership Argyll and Bute Datazone number SO1000800 Name of ward within which datazone lies East Lochfyne, Holy Loch Intermediate geography number and name SO2000146, Cowal North 2. Description of services to be targeted for improvement, the boundary and equality impacts 2a) Describe the proposed service(s) to be included in the target. Include generic type (e.g. health/education); service deliver(s); and population to be targeted (e.g. age group) Advice Network online referrals – a collaboration between public, private and voluntary sector agencies to better coordinate provision of advice services. The system allows an organisation to refer a client to the appropriate source of advice that may be located at a distant site and track the referral through to its resolution or closure. This will improve access to advice services and referrals will ensure that the network plays to the strength of its members, thereby improving quality. Community transport – extension of the Cowal Deserve community transport scheme to the datazone area and support for purchase of a community bus to be owned by the Loch Goil Trust. Access to health services and a range of community activities will significantly improve. Extension of the Healthy Communities Collaborative – provision of training, support and materials to a local network that focuses on falls prevention in the elderly.

  • Unexecuted Design for Carrick Church, Carrick Castle
    M061 Unexecuted design for Carrick Church, Carrick Castle Introduction Carrick Castle is an isolated settlement on the W. shore of Loch Goil. In the later 19th century it became popular with well-to-do summer visitors from Glasgow, who in due course wished to build a church. By August 1891 a site had been given, and sufficient money had been raised for the church's promoters to envisage completion the following year. 1 The church opened in July 1892, 2 a simple prefabricated structure of corrugated iron on a timber frame. However, there is evidence that unexecuted plans for a more ambitious building were prepared by John Honeyman & Keppie. Under the heading 'Carrick Ch. Carrick Castle', their job book gives a full list of competitive tenders dated 19 October 1891, for a masonry building with a slated roof costing almost £1000. 3 There is no visual record of this design. No payments are recorded in the job book, and the scheme was presumably rejected by the clients in favour of the cheaper prefabricated option. The iron and timber church has itself been ascribed to John Honeyman & Keppie. 4 Certainly the firm was paid £13 13s 0d by the Carrick Church committee on 12 December 1892, which may have been in connection either with the abandoned design or with the iron church. 5 Authorship: This is one of over 270 jobs carried out in the office of Honeyman & Keppie (Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh from 1901) during Mackintosh's time there. Mackintosh undoubtedly worked on many of these, but there is no specific evidence for his involvement in this case.
