  • Appropriate Assessment of the Policies and Proposals Has Been Undertaken, Under the Provisions of Article 6(3) and (4) of the Habitats Directive 1992**
    West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Habitats Regulations Appraisal (including Appropriate Assessment) of the West Highland & Islands Local Plan Finalised Version (September 2010) 1 West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Foreword This document has been prepared under the requirements of the EU Habitats Directive and has applied the requirements set out by Scottish Government Policy. It is the Highland Council’s responsibility to consider whether the policies and proposals within the West Highland & Islands Local Plan are likely to have any significant effect on Special Protection Areas (including proposed SPAs), Special Areas of Conservation (including proposed SACs) and Ramsar sites, having regard to the qualifying interests and conservation objectives of those sites. Where a likely significant effect has been identified, appropriate assessment has been undertaken in order to try to ascertain whether the policies and proposals will adversely affect the integrity of the sites protected by the EU Directive and Scottish Government Policy (“the sites”). Mitigation measures have been provided where necessary in order to avoid adversely affecting the integrity of the sites. This has involved making changes to the Plan where necessary. The Council now believes that the Plan’s policies and proposals will not adversely affect the integrity of the sites. We have successfully concluded with certainty that that is the case. During the preparation of this document and the consideration of relevant representations on the Local Plan the Highland Council had discussions with and input from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in particular which helped identify and address any potential shortcomings.

Dr Alexander Macbain's work on Names of Places deals with the Cehic names of pre-Gaehc " " he calls Pictish with Gaehc origin which ; names, ancl with names of Norse origin which have been transmitted through Gaelic. The area from which he took his materials was chiefly Inverness-shire, Sutherland, and Lewis. His views on the language spoken by the Picts are " given in his paper on Ptolemy's Geography of Scotland" (published separately), in his edition of Skene's "Highlanders of Scotland," and in several papers contained in this volume, particu- " larly that on the Place-Names of Inverness- shire." His position is that the Picts spoke that the Celtic Early British or a dialect of it, and language of early Britain was practically homo- geneous from the English Channel to the very North. He agrees with Kuno Meyer in holding " that no Gael ever set his foot on British soil save from a vessel that had put out from Ire- larid." Further, assuming that the terms Cruthen (which is the Gaelic form of Briton) and Pict are co-extensive and mutually convertible, VI. INTKODUCTION. ' ' ' he includes under Picts ' the whole of the Celtic settlers in Britain prior to the Belgae, thus ignoring the facts that the Picts are not heard of till about 300 %^, and that all old authorities (Gildas, Nennius, Bede, &c.) state that their original seat in Scotland was in the far North.
