Introduction 1.1 Landscape designations play an important role in Scottish Planning Policy by protecting and enhancing areas of particular value. Scottish Planning Policy encourages local, non-statutory designations to protect and create an understanding of the role of locally important landscape have on communities. 1.2 In 2014, as part of the preparation of the North Lanarkshire Local Development Proposed Plan, a review of local landscape designations was undertaken by URS as part of wider action for landscape protection and management. 2. URS Review of North Lanarkshire Local Landscape Character (2015) 2.1 The purpose of the Review was to identify and provide an awareness of the special character and qualities of the designated landscape in North Lanarkshire and to contribute to guiding appropriate future development to the most appropriate locations. The Review has identified a number of Local Landscape Units (LLU) that are of notable quality and value within which future development requires careful consideration to avoid potential significant impact on their landscape character. 2.2 There are two exemplar LLUs identified in this study, Kilsyth Hills and Clyde Valley, which are seen as very sensitive to development. Both of these areas warrant specific recognition and protection, as their high landscape quality would be threatened and adversely affected by unsympathetic development within their boundaries.

  • Clyde Park Strathclyde Country Park
    Clyde Park Strathclyde Country Park Strathclyde Country Park is located in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The 4 km2 park is situated next to the River Clyde and is firmly established as one of Scotland’s leading centres for outdoor recreation. The park offers many amenities and attractions including water sports, on land activities such as mountain biking, football and horse riding, new children’s play areas and is most recently known as the site for Scotland’s theme park M&Ds. Culture NL deliver the play area development service on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council. Funding was awarded from North Lanarkshire Council capital programme to renew the play area at the Motherwell (East) end of the park to create a natural play area which complemented the woodland surroundings. This park is set within surrounding footpaths and nature trails so our Robinia range was a perfect fit to this site. Design The site was developed to suit the natural landscape of the country park surroundings. The equipment used created a natural play space alongside the upgrade of existing features such as the shelter. The new play equipment sits within a large grassy area in the park and is surrounded by existing trees. Some trees were removed and others preserved to add to the landscape features alongside new mounding and logs. Children’s Favourite Items ‘Zipline, climbing frame & tree stumps’ Culture NL wanted natural materials to Results create a unique, natural play area. Jupiter The park is now open and has been very Play FHS Robinia was specified for the popular in the summer season.

The present so persistently claims our attention that we are in constant danger of forgetting altogether that past in which it has its roots ; and our loss in so doing is by no means insignificant. Those students of antiquity who do not allow their interest in the past to blind them to the claims of the present are continually emphasising the continuity of all life, and protesting against the habit into which some scholars have fallen of dealing only with phases of life. This is a protest which cannot be too often repeated. The heroic days of old are as if they were not, and we deliberately blind ourselves to every vision which would make us prize more highly both our heritages and our privi- leges. There are many ways by which we may preserve our historical con- tinuity, but hardly any method is likely to be so effectual as purposeful visits to 12 $refaa.

  • Hamilton Low Parks Local Nature Reserve Management Plan
    Hamilton Low Parks Proposed Local Nature Reserve Management Statement Contents Introduction General information Habitats, flora and fauna Landscape Cultural information Site infrastructure Recreation and access Local community Conclusion Contacts Appendix 1: Objectives and actions Appendix 2: Maps Introduction Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are valuable places as they combine protection of the natural heritage with opportunities for people to enjoy, learn about and experience nature close to their homes. LNRs are: • Statutory designations made under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. • Special places which are rich in wildlife. • Generally, readily accessible and suitable for people to visit and enjoy. In declaring these sites, South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) aims to: • Protect them from unsuitable developments. • Manage and enhance the habitats to help biodiversity flourish. • Improve public access. • Help people understand and become more aware of the importance of the LNR. • Encourage community participation and volunteering. SLC have identified sixteen new sites (and an extension to the existing LNR at Langlands Moss) to become designated as LNRs. These encompass a broad spectrum of habitats including ancient broadleaved woodland, open water, wetlands and grasslands. The site management statements are written in conjunction with the South Lanarkshire Biodiversity Strategy (2018-2022), SLC Sustainable Development and Climate Change Strategy (2017-22), SLC Local Development Plan (2013) and SLC Core Path Plan (2012). Vision statement Across South Lanarkshire, Local Nature Reserves are a resource for local communities that balance excellent recreational and educational opportunities with valuable habitats for wildlife that are rich in biodiversity General information Location and site boundaries: This composite LNR is to the north and east of Hamilton, in South Lanarkshire.

  • Death of the Regent Moray.*
    DEATH OF THE REGENT MORAY. 83 " scribed as right hardy, meikle, and stark," had a country residence in the parish of Auchtertool in the neighbour- " hood. Whither are you running?" he called out to " the leaders of the fugitives : You deserve to have your gilt spurs hacked off." This was specially addressed to the Earl of Fife, the same nobleman who founded the Abbey of Culross. Throwing off his ecclesiastical garment, " Bishop Sinclair seized a spear, and exclaimed Let him who loves Scotland follow me." The Scots rallied, and, led by the brave prelate, they impetuously attacked the enemy, who had not completed their landing. The Eng- lish were driven back to their ships with considerable loss. When King Robert was informed of the intrepidity of the " Bishop of Dunkeld, he said Sinclair shall be my bishop, under the appellation of the King's Bishop" By this name he was long remembered by his countrymen. DEATH OF THE REGENT MORAY.* A. D. 1510-1.
