  • BCS Paper 2016/13
    Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/13 2018 Review of Westminster Constituencies Considerations for constituency design in Highland and north of Scotland Action required 1. The Commission is invited to consider the issue of constituency size when designing constituencies for Highland and the north of Scotland and whether it wishes to propose a constituency for its public consultation outwith the electorate quota. Background 2. The legislation governing the review states that no constituency is permitted to be larger than 13,000 square kilometres. 3. The legislation also states that any constituency larger than 12,000 square kilometres may have an electorate lower than 95% of the electoral quota (ie less than 71,031), if it is not reasonably possible for it to comply with that requirement. 4. The constituency size rule is probably only relevant in Highland. 5. The Secretariat has considered some alternative constituency designs for Highland and the north of Scotland for discussion. 6. There are currently 3 UK Parliament constituencies wholly with Highland Council area: Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross – 45,898 electors Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey – 74,354 electors Ross, Skye and Lochaber – 51,817 electors 7. During the 6th Review of UK Parliament constituencies the Commission developed proposals based on constituencies within the electoral quota and area limit. Option 1 – considers electorate lower than 95% of the electoral quota in Highland 8. Option 1: follows the Scottish Parliament constituency of Caithness, Sutherland and Ross, that includes Highland wards 1 – 5, 7, 8 and part of ward 6. The electorate and area for the proposed Caithness, Sutherland and Ross constituency is 53,264 electors and 12,792 sq km; creates an Inverness constituency that includes Highland wards 9 -11, 13-18, 20 and ward 6 (part) with an electorate of 85,276.

  • Mcphee in Lochaber
    Appendix 1: McPhee in Lochaber The following chart attempts to explore the McPhee relationship with the great families of: i.) MacDonalds Lords of the Isles, who in this 15th Century were beginning their decline. ii.) Keppoch MacDonells of Lochaber, an offshoot of the MacDonalds. iii.) Camerons, in the 15th Century still reaching towards their greatness. We can say with certainty that the McPhee people in the 15th Century had aristocratic leaders and were long established in Lochaber. After 1500 AD, the McPhee people who stayed in Lochaber were reliant on the good will of Cameron, Keppoch, MacDonald, and the newly arrived and highly influential Gordon of Huntly. To the first three of these the McPhees were related. Once they had even been noted for a while as being in ‘sword service’ to the MacIntosh, on the North side of the Spean. Probably they were related to them, here and there, over the years. So then, after 1500, some McPhee or other, or his descendant, was partner in the vicissitudes, politics, religion and traumas of Lochaber and Scottish Clan history. Yes, a McPhee presence was there, and it was too involved and too connected with the dominant Clans to be swallowed up by them. Anyway, it looks as though their Lochaber McPhee DNA has come down to us. This is a wonderful thing, and how grateful we all are to Mr Roderick MacDuff for his expertise and his energy and his generosity in conducting the Macfie DNA study, and how proud are the Lochaber McPhees to be a found part of it.

  • KNOYDART a Two-Day Bothy Adventure in the Wilderness of the Rough Bounds
    KNOYDART A two-day bothy adventure in the wilderness of the Rough Bounds Overview The so-called 'Rough Bounds' of Knoydart – often described as Britain's last wilderness – are difficult to reach. Getting to the start of the route involves either a boat trip or long car journey along a winding, 20 mile single-track road. Cut off from the UK road network, the peninsula is a wild place of rugged mountains, remote glens and fjord-like sea lochs. This spectacular area includes three Munros and its coastal views take in Skye and the islands of the Inner Hebrides. In the 19th century, the peninsula fell victim to the Highland clearances but since 1999, after huge fundraising efforts, the land has been owned and managed by its own small community. Some days you won’t bump into another soul in here – although you may spot minke whales, eagles, otters and stags. Despite its inaccessibility, there are good paths connecting the glens and these provide exceptional running through challenging terrain. This fastpacking circuit is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the unique landscape. Highlights • A truly special wilderness experience in a remote and spectacular location • A superb route on a legacy network of well-made paths through wild terrain • Spectacular views of rugged mountain and coastal scenery • Plentiful wildlife including red deer, otters, pine martens and birds of prey such as golden eagles • An overnight stay or wild camp at Sourlies bothy • Fantastic running, descending off the passes and along loch-side paths. Top tips • Be prepared for a serious run in a remote area with limited escape options.

It notes that its building has been attributed to various kin-groups by different scholars, the most recent and fullest analysis making a firm case for the MacDougalls. The paper reviews what evidence there is and concludes that there can be no absolute certainty on the matter.
