Balmichael Farm Shiskine, Isle of Arran, North Ayrshire, KA27 8DT Shiskine the Location Balmichael Farm Shiskine, Isle of Arran, North Ayrshire, KA27 8DT Shiskine The Location Balmichael Farm is situated close to the small village of Shiskine, which provides local amenities that includes a primary school, two churches, medical centre and a regular bus service. The property is also within easy reach of local facilities at Blackwaterfoot, including Post office, newsagent, butchers and general store. The renowned Kinloch Hotel has a swimming pool, which is open to non-residents. The Shiskine Golf Club is approximately 11 miles South West of Brodick, off the A841 and at the western end of the B880 (known as “The String”) which traverses the island from the main centre and ferry port of Brodick. The secondary school is located in Lamlash to which pupils are conveyed daily. Brodick (the main town of Arran) has two larger Co-Op supermarkets and a good range of further professional services. Brodick is the port from which a regular daily sailing service by Caledonian MacBrayne leads to the mainland at Ardrossan. Commuters and travellers now benefit from Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) ferry fares, which are substantially lower than before. Ardrossan has a mainline rail station, with trains to Glasgow that connect with the ferry times, and is approximately 30 miles from Glasgow City Centre. Prestwick International Airport is 16 miles to the south of Ardrossan, with Glasgow International Airport 24 miles east of Ardrossan. The Isle of Arran is Scotland’s most southerly and accessible island. Sitting in the Firth of Clyde between Ayrshire and Kintyre, Arran is arguably one of Europe’s most beautiful islands and is often described as “Scotland in miniature”. The island is 19 miles long by 10 miles wide but has a remarkable diversity of landscapes. Arran offers a wide range of recreational facilities including; walking, pony trekking, golf, fishing, bowling, tennis, boat and cycle hire. Balmichael Farm A striking four/five bedroom, semi-detached, sandstone (dating to around 1870’s) villa, conveniently positioned close to the rural village of Shiskine. Displaying a stunning frontage, this former farmhouse offers some beautiful design features from a bygone era, in addition to flexible and versatile accommodation, formed over a two-storey layout,on a plot of around eight acres. A wealth of period detailing has been retained, most noticeably cornice work, which will no doubt appeal to the discerning buyer. In essence, the front of the property belies the spacious accommodation internally. Although the house is very much a traditional home, it has a comfortable feel and benefits from outstanding countryside views towards the Shiskine valley. It would most certainly suit those with an equestrian interest! The traditional building has been well maintained, both internally and externally, to create fantastic and flexible accommodation, which only a viewing will qualify. The flexible interior offers sophisticated living space, which is inherent with a home of this age and character. The paddock of around eight acres is located (generally) to the front of the property and is enclosed by stone walls, post and wire fencing and hedges and is suitable for grazing. There is the welcome addition of a large storage barn in the paddock. The formal gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a wide variety of plants and trees and provide seasonal colour and benefit from tremendous rural views into the distance, which can be enjoyed from a number of vantage points. The feature area of decking is the perfect spot for al-fresco dining and has been used for this purpose on many an occasion! The gardens come complete with a storage shed and log store. There is also a driveway providing off road parking for a number of vehicles. The subjects are entered via a bright, welcoming reception hallway, with a feature staircase off to the upper landing and understairs storage. Immediately impressive lounge, with picture windows to the front aspect, flooding the room with natural light and providing stunning rural views. The feature fireplace with a log-burning stove is the key focal point of this room. Access can be gained from here into the kitchen/diner, which has been fitted to include an excellent range of floor and wall mounted units with a striking worktop, providing a fashionable and efficient workspace. It further benefits from an integrated oven, hob, extractor and fridge. There is further space for a dishwasher and an upright fridge/freezer. Open- plan access can be gained to the dining area where there is ample room for a table and chairs for more informal dining with friends and family. A glazed door opens from here onto the decking in the garden. The useful boot room is located off the kitchen and offers plenty of invaluable storage facilities and has a personal door opening into the rear courtyard. This is the perfect spot for hanging jackets and storing wellingtons. A large storage room can be found off this room and is ideal for storing sports equipment and bicycles. A handy utility room is also located off the boot room and is plumbed for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A glance upwards will take you on a journey back in time as the clothes dryer is still fully operational. A ladder allows access to the ‘old maids’ quarters at first-floor level and offers a number of exciting opportunities. The cosy family room (off hallway) has a range of furniture configurations and offers countryside views to the front aspect. This room has a feature (open) fireplace and could easily be used as a comfortable fifth bedroom if desired. The family bathroom with a roll-top bath creates the perfect ambience in which to unwind and completes the ground floor accommodation. The staircase rises to first-floor level, revealing four, substantial bedrooms. The master bedroom offers stunning views into the distance and has the luxury of an en- suite shower-room with a dressing area and fitted wardrobes. All of the remaining bedrooms have space for additional free standing furniture if required. Access to the loft space can be gained from the landing. The very real possibility exists that this area could be converted into additional living accommodation (STPP) and add immediate value to this family home. The specification includes oil central heating and double glazing for additional comfort and convenience. “...The formal gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a wide variety of plants and trees and provide seasonal colour and benefit from tremendous rural views into the distance...” “...The paddock of around eight acres is located (generally) to the front of the property and is enclosed by stone walls, post and wire fencing and hedges and is suitable for grazing...” Balmichael Farm is a truly delightful property, which offers a diverse range of possibilities. Properties such as this are rarely available to the market and viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this unique home.

  • A BRIEF HISTORY of ST MOLIOS CHURCH SHISKINE This Booklet Is a Brief History of Church Life in and Round Shiskine, and in Particular of St Molios Church
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF ST MOLIOS CHURCH SHISKINE This booklet is a brief history of church life in and round Shiskine, and in particular of St Molios Church. The Red Church was opened for worship on 21st July 1889. This event testified to the faith and commitment of generations of Christian people. The expansion has continued. In 1962 a Guild Room and kitchen were added to the church. In 1964 the kitchen and Vestry were let out to the Board of health twice a week for physiotherapy. Thereafter the toilets were altered to ensure access, for disabled people and improvements to the kitchen and hall were carried out. The profits generated by this booklet will benefit the fund set up to enable improvements to the Church & Hall. The new manse was built in 1978. Services on Sunday are well attended both by our members and visitors who flock to the island every year. The church of Scotland has adjusted ministry on the island so that since 2005 our parish has been linked not only to Lochranza and Pirnmill, but also to Brodick & Corrie. The arrangement is made possible by the appointment of a minister and a part-time Parish Assistant resident in Shiskine manse. The Minister and Reader conduct three services each on a Sunday, ensuring the tradition of morning worship can continue. Worship is always at 12:00 noon at St. Molios. Visitors to other churche in the linkage need to consult "The Arran Banner" or the church notice board for times of services which vary. The Sunday Club meets at the time of morning worship weekly during term-time and is open to children from four to eleven.

  • Early Learning and Childcare Guide
    Introduction This booklet aims to provide you with information about the changes that are happening to early learning and childcare in North Ayrshire. In August 2020 the annual entitlement to early learning and childcare will be 1140 hours for all three and four year olds and eligible two-year olds. Parents have the choice to use their early learning and childcare (ELC) entitlement at any local authority or funded provider* meeting the National Standards. There is a full list of local authority and funded providers at Appendix 2 and on the CARIS website: www.families.scot Throughout this document the terms: • Parent refers to both parents and carers. • Funded provider refers to local authority, private and voluntary providers, and childminders that are in contract to deliver ELC on behalf of the Council. 2 Your Questions Answered What does this mean for me? You will be entitled to 1140 hours of ELC if you have a child aged 3-5 years. You could also be entitled to this is you have a 2-year-old child and you meet certain eligibility criteria which is detailed on Page 8. You will be entitled to either 30 hours per week over term time (38 weeks) or 23.75 hours per week over the full year (48 weeks) or 28.5 hours over 40 weeks. You can choose to take this in different ways – over full days/half days, or a combination of both, or a blended model over two providers. How will the funded sessions work? To meet the needs of our families and carers there will be three models of delivery available in North Ayrshire Council ELC establishments.

  • A Brief History of the Clachan Church & Burial Ground R. Angus Adamson
    A Brief History of The Clachan Church & Burial Ground R. Angus Adamson B.D.Min.(Hons.) The site of the old parish mission church at Clachan has long been 'holy' ground. As the late Professor J. Kennedy Cameron of the Free Church College, Edinburgh, pointed out in his excellent work The Church In Arran: 'The name Clachan indicates that the place, before any Christian house of worship had been erected in it, was a centre of Druidic worship. The term has come down to us from the time when the early inhabitants of the island were wont to assemble there for worship of their gods. To go to the Clachan, or stones, was equivalent to going to worship.'1 Also of note in this regard, is the fact that the Clachan site is, and always has been, a wooded location, which would make it an ideal 'holy' place in pagan times, when the Druids favoured secluded wooded groves in which to practice their ancient mysteries. That the Clachan Glen continued to be a place of worship after Christianity arrived on Arran during the 6th Century C.E., through the mission of the Celtic church from Ireland, there can be little doubt.2 It was common practice for the early missionaries to adopt pagan sites and Christianize them, absorbing the old religion into the new. A short distance from the present burial ground just below the main road, which now dissects the wooded area around Clachan, are said to be early Christian remains once known locally as Caibeal Eoin (John's Chapel).

  • Arran, Argyll & Bute
    COURSES The GB&I Top 100 PLAY THE GB&I TOP 100 he remote location of many of Great Britain and Ireland’s finest courses means that playing them Arran, Argyll & Bute often becomes as much an ‘experience’T as it is a golf break. Rarely is this more true than in this You’ve never undertaken a golf break like this one, but after you month’s selected area. A car, for instance, do, we reckon you’ll be searching hard for another similar one. can only be one part of your transport. Sea and air, indeed, are arguably more WORDS: Chris Bertram PHOTOGRAPHY: David Cannon, Getty useful. It would be convenient to describe our chosen area as ‘Scotland’s south west islands’. We can’t though, because three of the courses aren’t on an island – it just seems like they are. Hence, the map over the page has never been more useful. It perfectly illustrates the area we are covering as well as the extent of the challenge; a golf weekend in Southport is altogether more straightforward. But a lot less fun. Our trip takes in three main stops: the Machrihanish area near Campbeltown on mainland Scotland (albeit a slim finger of it); The Machrie on the Isle of Islay and the island of Arran. They are all fairly close to each as the crow flies but no one method of transport fits all. There are many ways to tackle the problem and GW has had experiences of two. Both were good. One option is to enlist the services of the Kintyre Express.

A representation has been received from J. Roberts, Arran Civic Trust, 3 Glen Place, Brodick, Isle of Arran. The Sub Committee, having considered the terms of the representation, agreed to refuse the application on the following grounds:- 1. That the proposed development would be contrary to the terms of Policy HOU4 of the adopted Isle of Arran Local Plan in that it would constitute development which would not reflect the form and character of the existing settlement at Kildonan, would be unrelated to existing buildings and would add to ribboning along the public road on which the site has a frontage.

  • The Arran Place-Name Survey 1974–75
    The Arran Place-Name Survey 1974–75 George Broderick Universität Mannheim 1. Introduction In the early spring of 1974 I was presented with the opportunity of undertaking a collection and survey of the place-names of the island of Arran.1 This unusual situation came about as a result of the wishes and desires of the Arran Society of Glasgow to have a scientific collection and assessment of Arran place-names undertaken by the School of Scottish Studies, University of Edinburgh. In this regard, the then encumbent of the Chair in the School, Professor John MacQueen, was asked by the Society to provide personnel for this assignment. I was not the first but in fact the fourth (if I recall correctly) to be asked; the previous three, for one reason or another, were unable to complete the task.2 Now under pressure from the Arran Society, Prof. MacQueen, mindful that I had expressed an interest in the project, called me into his office and put the case to me. He said that many of the recordings made by Prof. Nicolaisen were of poor sound quality – Nicolaisen himself admits that in his own Tape Register – and suggested that I take over where Nicolaisen had left off and seek to re-establish contact with as many of his informants as possible who were still living. It was pointed out to me that prior collections were incomplete and I would have to rescue what was left in Arran to complete the job. This I agreed to do. 2. The name Arran3 OIr. nom.

    St Molios Church Magazine FEBRUARY 2017 These ‘commandments’ were used by Jean in Church on New Year’s Day: 2017 TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR 2017 1. Speak to people – there is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting. 2. Smile at people – it takes 72 muscles to frown and only 14 to smile. 3. Call people by name – the sweetest music to anyone’s ear is the sound of their name – it means it is known by you and important to you. 4. Be friendly and helpful – if you want to have friends, be friendly. 5. Be cordial – speak and act as if everything you do is a genuine pleasure. 6. Be genuinely interested in people – you can love everyone if you really try. 7. Be generous with praise and cautious with criticism. 8. Be considerate of the feelings of others – it will be appreciated. 9. Be thoughtful of the opinions of others – there are three sides to every controversy; yours, the other person’s and the right one. 10. Be alert to give service – what counts most in the life is what we do for others. From Jean Hunter Brodick Manse January 2017 Dear Folks, One of the most humorous stories I heard since moving to Brodick was when in company of a good friend who was born into an old established Brodick family. On this occasion, asked by a visitor if we were locals, and born on the island at the AWMH, my companion looked at the poor lady questioner as if she had suddenly grown horns and replied: “Don't be ridiculous, my mother had the perfectly good common sense to go away to Glasgow.
