Practical Information the Conference Location Is Near Armadale on the Sleat Peninsula on the Isle of Skye; See the Map Below Practical Information The conference location is near Armadale on the Sleat Peninsula on the Isle of Skye; see the map below. Weather and what to bring The venue for the workshop is remote and you should make sure you bring everything with you that you need. For example: phone and laptop chargers; plug adaptors for UK plugs and any medication and sunscreen. Possibly the most important thing to bring is an insect repellent. There are few things that blight a visit to Skye more than being bitten by the dreaded midge - this tiny insect can wreak havoc on your skin. There are two well-known repellants Avon Skin-so-Soft and Smidge. We recommend that you bring one of these with you. If you plan to walk in your free time you may want to invest in a net to wear over your head. The weather on Skye changes by the minute: it can be glorious, warm sunshine one moment and then pelting down with rain the next. Please come prepared with waterproofs and layers of warm clothing, bring some good sturdy shoes as well as summer clothing. Have a wonderful time! Local information The nearest shop is in Armadale, about 2 miles south of the Gaelic College, the conference venue. The nearest “town” is Broadford to the north and further afield Portree; see the map. There are buses running but they can be unreliable; a schedule is attached. Some of the local organisers will be there by car, so in the case of an emergency please ask us and we will try to give you a lift. Free Afternoon Below a list of “local options” for a visit to Armadale Castle (ruin), Museum and Gardens. There are also some local walks, the ones under Option 1 should be easy and provide no difficulty. The ones under Option 3 are a bit further afield and require good hiking shoes, water and windproof clothes (as well as possible protection against midges, i.e. insect repellent).

  • Community Links & Recreational Routes Options Appraisal 2019
    EDINBANE COMMUNITY LINKS & RECREATIONAL ROUTES OPTIONS APPRAISAL 2019 for: Edinbane Community Company by Mike Hyatt Landscape Architects TEAM Mike Hyatt Landscaape Architects, Led by Mike Hyatt have carried out the survey work and liaised with the client group. He has also led on developing the proposals that are set out in this document. Arvika Consult, consultant engineers led by Frank McCulloch have assisted with survey work and with engineering solutions and costing Work has been carried out February to May 2019 INTRODUCTION This report was commissioned by Edinbane Community Company (ECC) in January 2019. The report is set out in referenece to the Client Brief, it focuses on the Community Links routes that are imported for local people SKYE to link their communities to services, places of employment and to each other. SCOPE The survey looked at identifying potential cycling walking routes from north of Flashader through Edinbane and on to Greshornish and Dunvegan. This would open up a total of 27km of new path the majority of these routes closely follow the main road the A850. The routes are set out on the Wider Path Network Map. The focus of the detailed survey work has been the 0.5km missing link from Flashader to opposite the campsite at Borve. This section links with existing paths, that if joined, would provide a safe route between the neighbouring communities of Flashader, Kildonan and Fanks to the north and Borve and Edinbane to the south. The wider network representing approximately 23km of potential routes was inspected at representative and key locations such as at junctions and sites of potential obstacles.

    TITLE: DATA REQUEST ISLE OF SKYE DATE: NOVEMBER 2016 REPORT CODE: SMRUC-JAC-2016-015 Figure 15 Telemetry tracks from the 13 harbour seals tagged at Loch Bay and Loch Dunvegan within the Ascrib, Isay and Dunvegan SAC in 2004 and 2005. 5.2.1 Kyle Rhea data The telemetry data from the Kyle Rhea study shows a very high density of tracks moving through and/or foraging within the channel between Skye and mainland Scotland (Figure 16). In total, 93.4% of all the GPS positions obtained from these nine seals were inside the Study Area. Only two seals left the Study Area for a significant portion of their time. Seal pv43-394-12 recorded 75% of its GPS positions inside the Study Area; for the remaining 25% of the time it travelled south out of the narrows at Kyle Rhea and west to off the south east coast of South Uist (Figure 16). Seal pv43-350-12 recorded 50% of its GPS positions inside the Study Area; for the remaining 50% of the time it travelled north out of the Study Area directly to the Butt of Lewis (Figure 16). Of these nine tagged seals, six left the narrows at Kyle Rhea at travelled north and west round the coast of Skye past the Project Site (Figure 16). One seal (pv43-376-12) moved along the coast of Skye, directly past the jetty construction site, with GPS location positions only 90 m from the construction site (Figure 17). These data show that there is clear connectivity between the Project 31 TITLE: DATA REQUEST ISLE OF SKYE DATE: NOVEMBER 2016 REPORT CODE: SMRUC-JAC-2016-015 construction site and the harbour seal haul out in Kyle Rhea.
