East of the Hebrides Entertainments “The mark of a Scot is that he remembers and cherishes the memories of his forebears…” Robert Louis Stevenson CHARLIE ZAHM IN SCOTLAND –JULY 23 TO JULY 31, 2016 ARGYLL / COWAL / AYR TOUR Saturday, July 23rd: Meet at Newark, NJ Airport for 7:30pm flight to Glasgow, Scotland. Try to sleep- we’ve lots to do over the next week! We can assist you with your flight to Newark or you can book this portion on your own. Sunday, July 24th: Arrive in Scotland at 7:30am and hop onto our luxury coach – THE ZAHM BUS and set out for the pretty harbor town of Oban – The Gateway to the Isles. We’ll drive along Loch Lomond’s beautiful western shore stopping for brunch at the Drovers inn, where they’ve been serving food and drink since 1705! Once back on the coach, we’ll do little hike out to Kilchurn Castle. It’s a chance to stretch the legs and breath in the Highland Air! We’ll check into the Regent Hotel (we’re 2 nights here), let you do some town exploring and meet back for dinner. Then there is this little pub…. Monday, July 25th: “Oh, it’s nice to get up in the mornin’, when the sun begins to shine!” Today we really get going! Just a couple of miles outside of Oban stands the 13th century fortress of Clan MacDougal – Dunstaffnage Castle. One of the oldest stone castles in Scotland, Robert the Bruce held it and Flora MacDonald was a prisoner there. After a wander about the grounds, we head further north to Glenfinnan – landing site of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the gathering of the clans on August 19, 1745. Cameras ready?? Behind you is the Harry Potter railway viaduct. Next – Fort William and lunch before heading to the “Glen of Weeping” – Glencoe. Charlie will tell the story in song. Then across Rannoch Moor and back to Oban, dinner and our first night of music with Charlie and Tad! Tuesday, July 26th: After breakfast we bid adieu to Oban and head for Inveraray at the head of Loch Fyne. We’ll stay at the lovely Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa for two nights – giving us ample time to explore the Seat of Clan Campbell, visit the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll, take in the infamous Gaol (Jail), do some shopping, eat some wonderful sea food and see the Vital Spark ("Ach, if Dougie were here, he'd tell you himself!” – from the great book, ‘Para Handy’). Tonight – our second show with the boys! Afterwards – a stroll on the beautiful grounds of the hotel and I bet we’ll find a pub…. Ah, a good Single Malt or a local beer to end the day. Wednesday, July 27th: After breakfast we’ll load up the coach and do some sightseeing. Awaiting us is the picturesque village of Lochgoilhead, the 13th Century Kilfinan Church (What? Not old enough? Well, there is evidence that this church was built on an earlier one dating back to the 9th century!), the ‘Rest and Be Thankful’ Pass, Strachur House Gardens and a tour of the Fyne Ale Brewery. A bit of well deserved “down time” back at the hotel and its spa followed by dinner, conversation and Highland conviviality. Thursday, July 28th: Today have a second helping of haggis, black puddn’ and more from the larder of the hotel, before loading up the coaches. Today we head along the old Drovers Roads to the town of Dunoon. This is the main resort on the beautiful Cowal Peninsula and is the maritime gateway to the islands in the Firth of Clyde. With its famous Victorian pier, promenade and Castle Mound, we’ll take leisurely look about, have lunch in the many small bistros and don’t forget to get your picture with Highland Mary – Robert Burns’ ‘Bonny Mary O' Argyll’. She stands beneath the remains of the 12th century castle. Then it’s a short ferry ride across the Firth to Gourock and Ayr country. We’re headed to Ayr and a lovely hotel. However, an afternoon stop in Largs is a must. Here is where an invading Viking stepped on a prickly thistle, gave out a cry and roused the Scots- who beat back the Norsemen – at the Battle of Largs on October 2, 1263. The thistle has been Scotland’s Badge ever since. Tonight – a beautiful view across the water and a wonderful night of music with Charlie & Tad. Watch out any of you Vikings lurking out there! Friday, July 29th: Get up you sleepy heads! Take a lovely little walk around the hotel grounds or down to the water, ’cause once we eat and pack up, we’re off to the castle of the Kennedy family in Scotland – Culzean Castle. Huge and beautiful, the top floor was given to President Eisenhower for his service during WWII. After lunch, we head north to the town of Paisley and a visit to the Abbey – site of a 6th century Celtic Church, William Wallace, the Stewarts, Robert Wilson, the Paisley Pattern. Our final stop - the Capital City – the Heart of Midlothian, the Athens of the North – Edinburgh and our check into the Hilton Edinburgh Hotel for two nights. It’s a ten minute walk to Princess Street and moments later you will be on The Royal Mile, at the Castle, arranging a Ghost Walk and into St. Giles Cathedral or sipping something. Plan for an evening dinner on your own. Saturday, July 30th : Our last day and tons to do! Today, walk up Arthur’s Seat – the mountain beside the city. It’s a semi-easy walk – no ropes or anything with a well-worn path – and you can stop when you want. Then, Ah, on ya go on – spit on the Heart outside of St. Giles Cathedral! It’s good luck! Then you’ve the rest of the day free for Princes Street, the Gardens, the Zoo, The Royal Mile and so much more - Shopping, exploring, eating, maybe a drink at “The Last Drop” or “Jinglin’ Geordie”, Mary King’s Close, the Underground City, museums, or a climb up the Walter Scott Monument and a chance to see where Harry Potter was written. Hey, don’t get too tired – we’ve a final planned dinner at the hotel and the last night of music with CHARLIE AND TAD! Sunday, July 31st: Ah well, it’s time to say farewell to Scotland. We’ll head back with tales and stories, memories and laughs to tell your friends of how we explored Scotland’s beautiful countryside with Charlie Zahm and Tad Marks– and make plans for next year!!!

    Tayside Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2nd Edition 2016­2026 Incorporating the local authority areas of Angus and Perth & Kinross Every Action Counts! Scottish Wildcat © Scottish Wildcat Action 2 Chairman’s Message Anyone glancing at this latest Biodiversity Action Plan for Tayside could be forgiven for feeling a little daunted at the scale of the tasks identified in the Actions. Indeed, the scale of what we need to do over the years ahead is large if we are to pass on to our future generations a land that is as rich and varied in all its forms of life as the one that we have inherited. The hope that we can rise to this challenge comes from the sheer goodwill of so many people and organisations willing to give their time and effort to look after our wildlife, whether it be found in the remoter hills or closer to home in our towns and villages. Great examples of what can be achieved when we work together with a little direction and thought applied can be found throughout the following pages. This Action Plan arrives at a time of great uncertainty, particularly in rural areas which have been so dependent on public funding for so much of our land use. Following the Brexit vote, we have to take the view that this must be an opportunity to improve on our delivery of so many of the tasks identified in this Plan and others which, if achieved, will improve the life of all of us along with all the many forms of life that we share this country with.

  • Chapter Eight the Stones of the Southern Highlands
    Chapter Eight The Stones of the Southern Highlands Moving on from the stones of the Lowlands and the Southern Uplands, the last stone encountered, the Wallace Putting Stone could easily have been included in this section and certainly when standing on Sheriffmuir, the expanse of the Southern Highlands to the north are so close and almost tangible. There are no distinguishing boundaries for the stones in this section and as a base either the towns of Callander or Aberfeldy should be considered. All but one of the stones are located in the ancient county of Perthshire although some through boundary changes are now in Stirlingshire but regardless, in the days when the Gaelic was spoken and stones were lifted this was entirely Perthshire. The majority of these stones are hemmed in by one of the major trunk roads to the Highlands and the A9 gives access to many of the stones mentioned. If making a tour of the stones, and including the Wallace Putting Stone, an almost oval loop allows testing them all within a day without too much travelling by car. From the Wallace Putting Stone it is 40 mins to the Sadlin Mare and then less than 30 mins to the Menzies Stone. From here it is 30 mins to the famed Bodach in Glen Lyon and 60 mins later the Ardvorlich Stone followed by a short 15 min drive to Balquhidder for the Puterach. This circuit, which has now been carried out on a more than a few occasions has been referred to as the “Perthshire Loop” and any stone lifting visit to Scotland would probably commence on the same lines.

  • Tarbert Castle
    TARBERT CASTLE EXCAVATION PROJECT DESIGN March 2018 Roderick Regan Tarbert Castle: Our Castle of Kings A Community Archaeological Excavation. Many questions remain as to the origin of Tarbert castle, its development and its layout, while the function of many of its component features remain unclear. Also unclear is whether the remains of medieval royal burgh extend along the ridge to the south of the castle. A programme of community archaeological excavation would answer some of these questions, leading to a better interpretation, presentation and future protection of the castle, while promoting the castle as an important place through generated publicity and the excitement of local involvement. Several areas within the castle itself readily suggest areas of potential investigation, particularly the building ranges lining the inner bailey and the presumed entrance into the outer bailey. Beyond the castle to the south are evidence of ditches and terracing while anomalies detected during a previous geophysical survey suggest further fruitful areas of investigation, which might help establish the presence of the putative medieval burgh. A programme of archaeology involving the community of Tarbert would not only shed light on this important medieval monument but would help to ensure it remained a ‘very centrical place’ in the future.

  • A835 : Garve to Ullapool
    The Big Monster Weekend 21 – 24 April 2017 PLEASE READ Welcome to the Northern Ireland Rat Motorcycle Club and our 2017 trip to Scotland, based in the Ben Nevis Hotel & Leisure Club, North Road, Fortwilliam, PH33 6TG. Tel. 01397 702331. Arrangements for Friday Northern Ireland & R.O.I. members We will depart on the 7.30 am Stena Line ferry from Belfast to Cairnryan. Check-in is required no later than 6.30 am owing to the large number of motorcycles to be tied down on the ferry. To assist you in recognising bikes from our group, we will provide you with a Rat Club number plate marker for your bike once we board the ferry. We have again purchased bulk tickets for the Western Ferries crossing from McInroy’s Point, Gourock to Hunter’s Quay, Dunoon and these will be distributed on the Stena Line ferry that morning – you must collect these tickets from William McAleese in the main restaurant area of the Stena ferry. For safety reasons, we will not ride as one large group from Cairnryan to Gourock. You should, therefore, break into your own smaller groups and proceed to Gourock to catch the ferry to Hunter’s Quay. However, we will lead a smaller group to Fortwilliam for those less certain of the route or who wish to ride in the company of other bikes. Anyone wishing to be led to Fortwilliam as part of this smaller group should stop in the first lay-by on the left, approximately 1.3 miles after you turn north on the A77 from Cairnryan port, to regroup and chat over the route we are taking.

  • The Knoydart Trip - a Journey to the Remotest Pub in Mainland Britain
    The Knoydart trip - A journey to the remotest pub in mainland Britain. It may not be quite up there with Jack Kerouac’s ‘On the Road’ but for anyone interested in repeating the experience here are the details of Steve Gillon and Dave Kerridge three day trip at the end of May 2012, from Durham to the Old Forge at Inverie on the Knoydart peninsula. Steve and Ted hope to visit the area again within the next year or so. In the meantime this is a temporary update, as some information has become out of date. The changes were made in March 2021, when transport was still disrupted and pubs were closed and it was unclear what the situation will be once restrictions are lifted. If you are visiting the area, check details in advance and again locally. Steve Gillon, March 2021. The trip Day One (Tuesday) From Durham to Edinburgh, using cheap East Coast First Advance tickets, so breakfast on the train is included – by the time they reached us the sausages had run out so it was a bacon sandwich and a croissant and marmalade, but it filled a gap. A quick change of train in Edinburgh then on to the Glasgow train, where the trainee trolley steward poured us her first ever cups of onboard tea under the eagle eyes of her supervisor. She passed the test. Time for a pint in Glasgow in the Counting House, George Square. A Weatherspoons pub, but decent beer in a fine old bank building. Then on to the Mallaig train.
