Strathcarron Project Supporting the Howard Doris Centre Towards Cam-allt and PhotoAchintee. by Peter Teago Teago AN CARRANNACH The General Interest Magazine of Lochcarron, Shieldaig, Applecross, Kishorn, Torridon & Kinlochewe Districts NO: 369 October 2018 £1.00 Applecross War Memorial After four years of planning and fundraising, our Memorial is now up and soon to be dedicated. Most communities throughout Britain erected memorials to remember and honour their men who made the ultimate sacrifice during both World Wars. Unlike most of its neighbours in the Highlands, Applecross never built a formal memorial. The idea of building a monument has been mooted on and off over the years. In 2014, the impetus to rectify this anomaly came with the centenary of the outbreak of WW1 in 1914. A small group of us gathered together to begin fundraising - no mean task given the size of the community. The Memorial and stone seat have been built by Andrew MacKenzie (Loch Dubh Stone, Lochcarron). The Memorial stone is polished Torridonian Sandstone - part of the Applecross Formation. It sits overlooking Applecross Bay just off the Cruary car park. Kenny MacBeath has done the groundwork which provides disabled access. Very special thanks and appreciation should be given publicly to Andrew and Kenny for providing Applecross with such a beautiful and fitting memorial. Fundraising has been only a part of the work involved. Invaluable information about Applecross men and their families was vital to the research needed to identify and, sadly, confirm their deaths. This would not have been possible without the extensive information on those who served in both wars - men and women - put together by Alistair and Catriona McCowan of the Applecross Historical Society. We would like to put on record our sincere thanks to all who supported us in our efforts. Without your help and encouragement this project would not have been possible. In particular, and in no specific order, we (Continued on page 2) 1 (Continued from page 1) AN CARRANNACH would like to thank the Applecross Trust for their generous help - both financial and practical.

Box 3006, N-7001 Trondheim, Norway SYNOPSIS Primary (compactional) magnetic fabrics and multicomponent rem- anences are recognized in the Stoer and Torridon Groups. Low tempera- ture (LT) blocking remanences are randomized around 400-600°C and relate to a post-Torridonian magnetic overprint, possibly of early Mesozoic age. In the Stoer Group (and some Stoer boulders in the basal Torridon Group) LT remanences are partly or fully carried by magnetite (titanomagnetite). High temperature (HT) remanences are characterized by discrete unblocking above 600°C, having a specular haematite remanence carrier. Results of a conglomerate test of some Stoer boulders provides a positive stability test for HT remanences in the Torridon Group, and a convergence of evidence suggests that remanence acquisi- tion of both the Stoer and Torridon Groups was facilitated by both detrital and early diagenetic processes.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

  • Strathcarron Project Supporting the Howard Doris Centre
    Looking towards AttadalePhoto by by PeterPeter Teago AN CARRANNACH The General Interest Magazine of Lochcarron, Shieldaig, Applecross, Kishorn, Torridon & Kinlochewe Districts NO: 367 August 2018 £1.00 “Walking to the Island” and other poems. by Alan MacGillivray "Walking to the Island” is a collection of poems which, in the author’s own words, is “A poetic evocation of boyhood summer holidays in the Wester Ross village of Lochcarron in the years during and just after the second world war.” This modest description, found on the back cover of the book, is accurate enough to whet the appetite of anyone who might casually pick it up for inspection, but fails to do justice to the scope and range of the work found within its covers. “Walking to the Island” is itself a sequence of poems and prose poetry, by turns nostalgic, celebratory, descriptive and elegiac, the totality of which is considerably more than the sum of any of its constituent parts. These are poems, which, like a good malt “uisge beatha”, which in a way they resemble, need to be savoured slowly and appreciatively. Their memories, observation, humour, wit and wisdom a complex and heady distillation of experience matured over time, and served up here in verse, which has style and variety sufficient to maintain the reader’s interest over the course of the “journey”, a journey both back in time, but also into the heart and soul of a community and culture. There is the occasional flash of anger, and overall a sense of sadness entirely in keeping with the book’s dedication to the author’s late brother James MacGillivray of affectionate memory in these parts.

The existing overhead line is 58km including the existing spurs and provides electricity to 344 customers. It is one of the last remaining cadmium copper overhead line circuits on the exposed west coast of Scotland and is considered to be a high priority for major refurbishment due to unacceptable physical condition and poor system performance. The majority of the overhead line was built in 1950 to a light duty, long span specification using 3/.093 (.017sq in) cadmium copper conductors. The circuit is three phase (three wire) for the first few kilometres from Aultbea to Laide and part way along the Opinan 11,000 volt spur. The remainder of the circuit is single phase (two wire). The original line was extended from Dundonnell Forest to Eilean Darroch in 1956 and then on to Dundonnell House in 1958. These sections of line incorporate shorter span lengths and use 3/.104 (.025sq in) copper conductors. The circuit has suffered 20 faults over the last 5 years. The majority of faults on this circuit relate to age, deterioration and under-design.

    © Lonely Planet 212 Wester Ross Wester Ross is heaven for hillwalkers: a remote and starkly beautiful part of the High- lands with lonely glens and lochs, an intricate coastline of rocky headlands and white-sand beaches, and some of the finest mountains in Scotland. If you are lucky with the weather, the clear air will provide rich colours and great views from the ridges and summits. In poor conditions the remoteness of the area makes walking a much more serious proposition. Whatever the weather, the walking can be difficult, so this is no place to begin learning mountain techniques. But if you are fit and well equipped, Wester Ross will be immensely rewarding – and addictive. The walks described here offer a tantalising taste of the area’s delights and challenges. An Teallach’s pinnacle-encrusted ridge is one of Scotland’s finest ridge walks, spiced with some scrambling. Proving that there’s much more to walking in Scotland than merely jumping out of the car (or bus) and charging up the nearest mountain, Beinn Dearg Mhór, in the heart of the Great Wilderness, makes an ideal weekend outing. This Great Wilderness – great by Scottish standards at least – is big enough to guarantee peace, even solitude, during a superb two-day traverse through glens cradling beautiful lochs.

On the 11th February, we had our first preseason friendly against Skye 2nds. It was a beautiful day for our first game at The Battery Park. Skye started strongly and kept the Lochcarron defence busy for the opening thirty minutes going 3-nil up. Lochcarron got back into the game, just before half time, through a well worked free hit which was finished well with Crisdean Finlayson finding the back of the Skye net.
