  • Tayside Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2Nd Edition 2016-2026
    Tayside Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2nd Edition 2016­2026 Incorporating the local authority areas of Angus and Perth & Kinross Every Action Counts! Scottish Wildcat © Scottish Wildcat Action 2 Chairman’s Message Anyone glancing at this latest Biodiversity Action Plan for Tayside could be forgiven for feeling a little daunted at the scale of the tasks identified in the Actions. Indeed, the scale of what we need to do over the years ahead is large if we are to pass on to our future generations a land that is as rich and varied in all its forms of life as the one that we have inherited. The hope that we can rise to this challenge comes from the sheer goodwill of so many people and organisations willing to give their time and effort to look after our wildlife, whether it be found in the remoter hills or closer to home in our towns and villages. Great examples of what can be achieved when we work together with a little direction and thought applied can be found throughout the following pages. This Action Plan arrives at a time of great uncertainty, particularly in rural areas which have been so dependent on public funding for so much of our land use. Following the Brexit vote, we have to take the view that this must be an opportunity to improve on our delivery of so many of the tasks identified in this Plan and others which, if achieved, will improve the life of all of us along with all the many forms of life that we share this country with.

  • Watsonia 22 (1998), 181-193
    Watsonia 22: 181 - 193 (1998) 181 Notes TYPIFICATION OF SOME BARTON & RIDDELSDELL NAMES IN RUBUS L. (ROSACEAE) In the two successive papers in which they described Rubus bakerianus, R. furnarius, R. newbridgensis and R. pistoris Barton & Riddelsdell (1935, 1936) indicated holotypes identified by numbers in Barton's herbarium. The gatherings to which those numbers referred were respectively: Wimbledon Common, v.c. 17, 3 August 1934, Barton & Riddelsdell 4376 Sedbergh, v.c. 65, 1934, Barton & Riddelsdell 4378 Newbridge, v.c. 14, 2 August 1934, Barton & Riddelsdell 4519 Gormire, near Thirsk, v.c. 62, I August 1933, Riddelsdell 4351. Unfortunately, the two were inadequately versed in the typification procedure prescribed in the new edition of the International rules (Briquet 1935) which had just then come into force. This explicitly stated that a holotype must consist of "a specimen" (Art. 18, Rec. IV). A specimen for the purposes of the microspecies of Rubus fruticosus agg. has long been accepted by specialists in this group as necessarily consisting of a flowering spray together with part of the primocane with at least one stem leaf attached to that. It is conventionally regarded as unsafe to venture a determination in the absence of either of those components. While Barton & Riddelsdell observed this convention impeccably, after Barton's herbarium (incorporating Riddelsdell's) passed to BM after his death it emerged that the designated holotypes in each of these four cases consisted not of a single specimen but of several. In the case of R. bakerianus as many as five sheets of specimens turned out to be sharing the particular number cited, three of those sheets bearing more than one flowering spray a piece.

  • Drovers' Tryst Information Sheet
    CRIEFF & STRATHEARN DROVERS’ TRYST 2021 Thank you for booking to take part in a Drovers’ Tryst walk. Information about the walk is as follows: WALK: Meall nan Tarmachan (PLEASE NOTE CHANGE IN START TIME – NOW 08:00) DATE: Sunday, 30th May, 2021 WALK LEADER: David Clark WALK GRADE: Extra Hard WALK DISTANCE: 14 km A challenging and rewarding circular walk that gives wonderful views across Perthshire. To the East the view is constrained by Beinn Ghlas and Ben Lawers although they are a great view in themselves. North is Glen Lyon, Glen Lyon Horseshoe, West is Ben More and (weather permitting) views extending well beyond. Please note, there are two challenging points on this walk, where the route narrows and is exposed as the hill falls away steeply. This walk would therefore not suit someone that may feel unstable at height and being exposed with steep ground falling away either side of them. Following a good path we have a steady and, in some places, steep ascent to the Munro summit of Meall nan Tarmachan, then onto Meall Garbh and a narrow rocky ridge traverse then on to Beinn nan Eachan. There is a short scramble on the descent from Beinn nan Eachan to the bealach before ascending Creag na Caillich via a short ledge. To complete the circular we descend back to the bealach and take a steady traverse across some boggy terrain to a disused stone quarry, then follow a good land rover track back to the car park. MEETING POINT: OS Grid Re: NN 605 382 Ben Lawers car park For 2021 only – and to ensure we all comply with current COVID social distancing rules – the meeting point for all walks will be at the start of the walk (usually in a designated car park).
