Cromarty is already an established community and with the re-opening 1052/1/001 of Nigg further housing development would be seen as beneficial. Other settlements Mr John Ross(00016) IMFLDP_MAIN/CONS/0 Other Settlements Agrees with the preferred approach to other (smaller) settlements.

Concerned that having developer funded Remove criterion 'whether any developer funded mitigation of 0031/1/004 mitigation mentioned means that it will be seen as an inducement to recommend. impact is offered.' Other settlements Robert Boardman(00033) IMFLDP_MAIN/CONS/0 Other Settlements Considers that all or most criteria should be applied. 0033/1/001 Other settlements Scottish Natural Heritage(00204) IMFLDP_MAIN/CONS/0 Other Settlements Tentatively suggests Invermoriston should have is own village chapter with more specific guidance on how 0204/1/012 the River Moriston SAC salmon and pearl mussel interests will be protected from any development pressures. Failing this, asserts that the criteria and in particular the penultimate criterion should not duplicate or contradict guidance elsewhere in the development plan - e.G. It shouldn't imply that only local natural heritage features will be taken into account. Other settlements Mr John Finlayson(00244) IMFLDP_MAIN/CONS/0 Other Settlements Believes that Abriachan should have a settlement boundary defined with the Plan that encloses client's land Addition of a mapped settlement boundary for Abriachan that 0244/1/001 as suitable for development because client's development would allow provision of sewerage system that encloses client's land as suitable for development.

The Knock of Alves forms the E. part of a narrow ridge a mile and a half in length to the N. of which the coastal plain extends for four miles to the shore of the Mor ay Firth at Hopeman. The Knock rises from the general level of the ridge to attain a height of 335 feet O. D., and commands an extensive view in all directions except the E. where Quar r y Wood Hill, distant one mile, stands 100 feet higher. The fort, which occupies the whole of the higher part of the Knock, is very ruinous; some parts of the defences lie in conifer plantations and others under thick heather and wh i n s , while a modern track, a monument, a mausoleum, ploughing and quarrying have also playeq their parts in the mutilation of the remains. The uppennost recognizable work is an enclosure measuring 125 feet from E. to W. by 75 feet transversely. The cw:. E. and S. are 'f or med by mere crestlines along which a very few stones and boulders appear, but to the W. and N. the rickle of stones representing a ruined wall (I) is much more conspicu- :ous. The natural crest of the N. flank of the rocky plateau which forms the absolute summit of the hill lies about 20 feet S. of and above the spread of stones that are considered to form the N.

  • Helen Fogg Journal - 1926
    1 Helen Fogg Journal - 1926 May 31, 1926 – Paris A most hideous day from whatever point of view it is taken. Last night we decided we must get back to England, so we promptly said that the 11 o’clock train was the one for us to take. But the Papal Palace had to be seen at any cost, although to us it is not a beautiful or in any way an inspiring place. A large group of people were waiting for a guide who appeared at 9 o’clock sharp and with a thump of his cane called us all to attention. And then we began to walk, stopping occasionally to crane our necks at a niche in the walls where there had once been a statue, to look at ceilings which had once been covered with marvelous frescoes, and to gaze at the reproductions of tombs the originals having long since been moved elsewhere. I did feel a certain thrill standing in the window overlooking the courtyard, where the popes gave the benedictions to the masses of people below. When I could disengage myself from the now yawning sightseers, I could imagine the pope and all his attendants sweeping through the vast rooms, and I made them alive for a few moments with life and color. It is a vast place, but it is no wonder when you think of the numbers of retainers necessary for the palace of a pope. There were many who simply tasted the food and the wine that he was going to drink.
