Local Energy Plan for Drumnadrochit Local Energy Plan for Drumnadrochit July 2018 A Local Energy Plan for Drumnadrochit July 2018 This Local Energy Plan has been developed to enable the community to look at its existing and future energy needs in terms of power, heat and transport and determine where it sees priorities for action. A separate non‐technical summary document is also available that provides an overview of the plan. The plan will be used to inform the development of the Drumnadrochit Community Action Plan. The development of the plan has been led by a steering group including Soirbheas, Glen Urquhart Rural Community Association, the Chamber of Commerce and the Community Council. The development of the plan has been funded as part of the COBEN project (COmmunity BENefits of Civic Energy), an EU Interreg (North Sea Region) funded programme with fifty per cent match funding through the Scottish Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES). CARES is delivered by Local Energy Scotland. Technical support and plan development has been undertaken by Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Limited. Community consultation support has been provided by Beyond Green Advisors Limited.

  • 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following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below.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.

  • A Lap of Loch Ness on Mountain Bike Tracks and Quiet Roads
    A Lap of Loch Ness on mountain bike tracks and quiet roads with the Highlands’ bike hire experts 1 www.TicketToRideHighlands.co.uk a Lap of the Loch Around Loch Ness by bike on mountain tracks and quiet roads A four day tour around one of the most beautiful lochs in Scotland and certainly the most famous in the world, combining some strenuous off­road tracks with some easier riding on quiet roads. Starting and finishing in Inverness, the scenery and views are great throughout the trip, with the added excitement of a possible glimpse of the elusive monster, keep your camera handy. Loch Ness is a quite unique body of water. You would expect that a loch large enough to contain the whole world’s population (yes really!) to be enormous, and Loch Ness really is a monster. But although it's hugely deep, the loch is only about 23 miles long and a mile wide. The countryside surrounding the loch is very scenic, with hidden glens, ruined castles and friendly villages to explore. The route on the north side makes use of the Great Glen Way, a walking and cycling route, that is rough in some places while in others offers pretty easy cycling and is car­free for almost its entire length. On the south side of Loch Ness you have a choice, the newly opened South Loch Ness Trail for mountain bikes and walkers, or quiet back roads with very little traffic. Of course, you can decide which route to choose when you see them, or mix the two together depending on how adventurous you feel.

  • Executive Summary NHS Highland Pharmaceutical Care Services Plan 2013-2014
    Executive Summary NHS Highland Pharmaceutical Care Services Plan 2013-2014 The NHS (Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Amendment regulations 2011 require NHS Boards to publish pharmaceutical care plans and update them annually. The purpose of this Pharmaceutical Care Services Plan (PCS Plan) is to provide information on the pharmaceutical care services currently available within NHS Highland. This will help us find any potential gaps in service provision and identify where there may be a need for a pharmaceutical service. A secondary function of the plan is to inform and engage members of the public, health professions and planners in the planning of pharmaceutical services. The Pharmacy Practices Committee will use the Board’s PCS Plan when considering applications to join the Pharmaceutical List. The pharmaceutical needs of the local community will be the main determinant of whether an additional community pharmacy or relocation will be approved by them. PCS planning provides a mechanism to determine the number of premises providing NHS pharmaceutical services, by responding as closely as possible to the need of the local population for those services. Boards will develop a pharmaceutical care needs assessment process to assess what pharmaceutical care services are needed by the population; what services are currently provided; define and quantify the gap in service provision and; describe plans to close the gap. The underpinning approach will be a scientific study of population and health. The views and experience of those involved locally in planning and providing pharmaceutical services in particular, and health services in general, are also key to the planning process. This second PCS Plan is mostly narrative in nature with limited gap analysis.

Accounts to continue to be published by end April. • Membership/Director requirements Clarification proposed so that only members who are owners of businesses resident within catchment area can act as directors and/or have voting rights, however others with interest are welcome to act as advisors to the Board.
