A key concern was visual impact and it was the view of the Community Coun- cil that that the landscape character and scattered rural community of Glen Convinth are totally unsuited to the de- velopment, and that the height difference between the valley floor and the turbines would accentuate their height and domi- nance of the landscape. The Community Council maintains that the adverse effect of the windfarm will be far greater than acknowledged by the developer because many new houses in the area are not yet marked on the Ordnance Survey maps. For example, about twenty homes in Ardendrain would look directly across at all twenty three turbines from about two kilometres, while much closer properties will be affected to an even greater extent. The developer has acknowledged that more distant views such as those from Kiltarlity Village near the village hall, Kinerras, Beauly railway station and the hills above Kilmorack are likely to 2 The Druim Ba Windfarm proposal ollowing a second series of sited within Kiltarlity ( see map ). ed by Highland Council, is involved in F public exhibitions in Febru- The developers estimate that the negotiations with the developers on com- ary the developers, Druim Ba windfarm will produce enough electric- munity benefit; these are in an early ity to power 38,000 households per stage and have been kept quite separate Sustainable Energy (DBSE) year and save 114,000 tonnes of carbon from the Community Council’s consider- lodged a formal Section 36 ap- per year.

  • Introduction the Place-Names in This Book Were Collected As Part of The
    Introduction The place-names in this book were collected as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Board-funded (AHRB) ‘Norse-Gaelic Frontier Project, which ran from autumn 2000 to summer 2001, the full details of which will be published as Crawford and Taylor (forthcoming). Its main aim was to explore the toponymy of the drainage basin of the River Beauly, especially Strathglass,1 with a view to establishing the nature and extent of Norse place-name survival along what had been a Norse-Gaelic frontier in the 11th century. While names of Norse origin formed the ultimate focus of the Project, much wider place-name collection and analysis had to be undertaken, since it is impossible to study one stratum of the toponymy of an area without studying the totality. The following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below. It makes no claims to being comprehensive, but it is hoped that it will serve as the basis for a more complete place-name survey of an area which has hitherto received little serious attention from place-name scholars. Parishes The parishes covered are those of Kilmorack KLO, Kiltarlity & Convinth KCV, and Kirkhill KIH (approximately 240, 185 and 80 names respectively), all in the pre-1975 county of Inverness-shire. The boundaries of Kilmorack parish, in the medieval diocese of Ross, first referred to in the medieval record as Altyre, have changed relatively little over the centuries.

  • Edgar Ogston
    www.kiltarlityandkirkhill.org.uk Kiltarlity and Wardlaw Churches Dear Friends, I recently read Nick Thorpe’s book “Adrift in Caledonia” in which he describes an unusual journey around Scotland – not hitch hiking but boat hitching. He begins one morning at the Union Canal in Edinburgh and manages to hitch boats around much of Scotland. As he travels he reflects on life. One morning in Greenock he manages to hitch a lift on the MV Menno from Greenock to the Kyles of Bute. “The MV Menno was not the most glamorous of vessels. Essentially a large, rectangular biscuit tin fitted with a crane and a necklace of tyres, she patrolled the Clyde keeping the 130 gas and solar-powered navigation buoys in working order. Despite her looks, she commanded the sort of fierce loyalty you’d expect from the crew of an Elizabethan galleon. ‘One day all boats will be shaped like this,’ grinned Brian the skipper, throttling midstream on a retreating tide as the crane operator lowered a vast, weed-shagged buoy on to the deck. Outside the wheelhouse, a team in luminous orange boiler suits was demonstrating how many men it takes to change a light bulb. I counted eight. Apart from Brian and the crane operator, there was one man to attach a safety line to the buoy’s fat anchor chain, three to scour the weed and barnacles from its side with instruments like wallpaper scrapers on long poles, others to daub the rusty upper section with new green paint. And of course the light bulb changer himself, climbing up the ladder past the solar panels, and tinkering inside the chamber.

  • Allt Carach Wind Farm Ltd Land SW of Urchany and Farley Forest, Struy, Beauly
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 5.8 SOUTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE Report No PLS/039/14 20 May 2014 14/00644/FUL: Allt Carach Wind Farm Ltd Land SW of Urchany and Farley Forest, Struy, Beauly Report by Area Planning Manager - South SUMMARY Description : Erection of temporary 80m high meteorological mast & associated fencing for temporary period of 5 years in relation to the proposed Allt Carach Wind Farm. Recommendation - GRANT Ward : 13 - Aird and Loch Ness Development category : Local Reason referred to Committee : 5 or more objections from members of the public 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The proposal involves the erection of an 80 metre anemometer mast on land to the south-west of Urchany and Farley Forest. It will be required for a period of up to 5 years to determine the feasibility of the site, including wind speeds, in connection with a proposed wind farm which may be the subject of a separate application at a later date. The mast will be used to mount anemometers (wind measurement devices) and will be held in place by stay lines at four points around the mast. 1.2 The site will take access from the A831 close to Erchless Castle by way of an existing farm track on the estate to Lochan Fada and Loch nan Cuilc. The mast will be located to the north-west of these lochs. 2. SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 The site lies to the south of Beinn a’Chlaonaidh and occupies an elevated position bounded by a mature plantation to the south-east. The immediate area surrounding the proposal is predominantly rural in character.
