    Aroma Café & Gift Shop, Mellon Charles, AULTBEA, IV22 2JL Offers Over £495,000 REF: 57207 Located within the beautiful crofting community of Mellon Charles, close to the village of Aultbea, the Aroma Café and Gift Shop represent a unique lifestyle opportunity along with a successful and profitable business. Built around an original crofthouse, the building has significant local provenance. Owners accomodation of approximately 830 sq ft on the ground floor plus some additional upstairs space, can be created within the building and a pre-planning application advises "there are no other material planning considerations identified at this time that would prevent the granting of the permission." The property, which was purpose built in 2006, has two main income streams and currently trades for 7 months of the year, 6 days a week from 10am-5pm, leaving ample scope to increase profits. The Café, which seats around 32 covers, is finished in a bistro-style and provides a calm, contemporary atmosphere. A freestanding wood burning stove with bespoke Caithness Stone hearth provides an additional welcoming focal point. The Café also enjoys spectacular uninterrupted views across Loch Ewe, towards the Torridon mountains and the Islands of Harris and Lewis. The Café boasts a "Taste our Best" certificate and has featured in national newspaper reviews. As the current owners do not take a day to day role, the Café is presently operated by two full-time staff (one being the manager), supplemented by two part-time staff in the busiest part of the season. The Café offers light lunches, soups, snacks, beverages and an excellent range of home baking.

Purchased by the vendors in 2005 the business was operated as a self-catering business until 2010 and since that time has operated as a Hotel, latterly trading in wet sales only. Due to the need to upgrade fire safety requirements the Hotel has not traded with letting rooms in recent years but we understand that bringing the Hotel into full operation again would be a fairly straight forward matter and the vendors have full details of the requirements to do so. The footprint of the property offers excellent amenity space extending to circa 1.5 acres. The internal aspects of the property require a degree of redecoration. The vendors accept that new owners would be better placed to develop the business both in terms of facilities and trade.

  • Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol
    Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol. 22 : Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies 1 Vol. 22: Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh (East Sutherland & Caithness) Author: Kurt C. Duwe 2nd Edition January, 2012 Executive Summary This publication is part of a series dealing with local communities which were predominantly Gaelic- speaking at the end of the 19 th century. Based mainly (but not exclusively) on local population census information the reports strive to examine the state of the language through the ages from 1881 until to- day. The most relevant information is gathered comprehensively for the smallest geographical unit pos- sible and provided area by area – a very useful reference for people with interest in their own communi- ty. Furthermore the impact of recent developments in education (namely teaching in Gaelic medium and Gaelic as a second language) is analysed for primary school catchments. Gaelic once was the dominant means of conversation in East Sutherland and the western districts of Caithness. Since the end of the 19 th century the language was on a relentless decline caused both by offi- cial ignorance and the low self-confidence of its speakers. A century later Gaelic is only spoken by a very tiny minority of inhabitants, most of them born well before the Second World War. Signs for the future still look not promising. Gaelic is still being sidelined officially in the whole area. Local council- lors even object to bilingual road-signs. Educational provision is either derisory or non-existent. Only constant parental pressure has achieved the introduction of Gaelic medium provision in Thurso and Bonar Bridge.

  • Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Quarterly
    Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Performance Report - Highland Quarterly Performance Report 1 July - 30 September 2013 Introduction Welcome to the second report of the quarterly Performance Reports for 2013/14. This report provides summaries of our fire safety activities, statistical and benchmarking information for the Highland area, and extracts of incidents that occurred between 1 July and 30 September 2013. 1. Community Safety Activity Community Engagement - Activities We promote fire safety and engage with the community through a number of different initiatives, which include working with partner agencies in promoting road safety, addressing anti-social behaviour, and providing fire and road safety advice to the community in general. We undertook a variety of community engagement activities during this quarter, which included: Safe Highlander - Wick We supported the delivery of Safe Highlander in Wick during this quarter with approximately 400 primary school children from schools throughout the area attending. This is a multi agency event attended by representatives from Red Cross, Police Scotland, SSPCA, Drug & Alcohol, Internet Safety as well as the Fire and Rescue Service. It is an educational activity based on a partnership approach, aiming to tackle challenging issues of community safety and crime prevention. Children following the event become more aware of personal safety, potentially avoid becoming victims of crime, understand how to react to emergency situations and encourage good citizenship. Scottish Fire and Rescue Service staff advise and educate pupils to recognise fire hazards in the home and understand what to do in the event of a smoke alarm going off at home and the importance of working smoke alarms and fire action plans.
