Please refer to the Covid-19 Precautions notice in your cottage fir further information. Fishing We regret that we have taken the difficult decision to stop stocking the lochan with trout. There are a number of reasons for this including a persistent problem with algae, which could only be fully remedied by draining the lochan and digging out 30 years of accumulated organic debris, and the absence of a local stockist able to supply the relatively small number of fish we require.

Nor' West News
Nor’ West News The NeWSletter of the Nor’ West Sgurramblers Issue No. 144 – October 2010 www.sgurramblers.org.uk MEET REPORTS The Joys of Scottish Summer Weather : Meet No. 271 (Friday 9 – Sunday 18 July 2010) Roger Reeves and Brian Billington came to pick me up on the first Friday after spending Thursday night at Alston youth hostel in Northumberland. And I was grateful for their help in packing a mountain of food into Roger’s car. I had been concerned that Roger might not have sufficient room for all my goods but, to my relief, he demonstrated that he has got packing down to a fine art. We arrived at the “My Highland Bunkhouse” near Newtonmore in the late afternoon. Hugh Toal, our guest on the first part of this NWS meet, arrived shortly after us. The bunkhouse proved to be a very modernistic structure, built the previous year adjacent to the equally modernistic and aptly named “Round House” farmhouse (also of very recent construction). Roger remarked that the buildings were like something out of “Harry Potter” but, thankfully, he stopped short of extending the analogy from the buildings to those who attended either part of this two part meet. A long winding track led from the road to the bunkhouse which only sleeps seven. Five of us had booked for this part of the meet: so we had it for our exclusive use. At £70 a night it was good value. The bunkhouse was also in a lovely location off the Newtonmore/Laggan road, though not the easiest place to find.

9 People and Communities, Effects on All Travellers
A9 Dualling – Glen Garry to Dalwhinnie DMRB Stage 3 Environmental Impact Assessment 9 People and Communities, Effects on all Travellers 9.1 Introduction 9.1.1 This chapter presents the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the Effects on All Travellers for A9 Dualling Project 7 – Glen Garry to Dalwhinnie (Central Section). The Proposed Scheme under assessment is described in Chapter 5. 9.1.2 For ease of reference the term Non-Motorised Users (NMUs) has been used to describe pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians. This chapter also considers vehicle travellers including users of public transport. 9.1.3 Potential for impacts on the following has been considered: • Journey length • Amenity value • Ease of access to the outdoors • Views from the road • Driver stress 9.1.4 In order to provide context to this EIA the following factors within the study area, generally relating to NMUs, have also been considered: • Local access • Parking provision • Public transport services 9.1.5 In accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) ‘Interim Advice Note (IAN) 125/09’, this chapter covers the ‘vehicle travellers’ and ‘pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians’ topics within DMRB Volume 11, Section 3, Part 8 (Effects on All Travellers). The updated IAN 125/15 recommends that Part 6 (Land Use), Part 8 (Pedestrians, Cyclists, Equestrians and Community Effects) and Part 9 (Vehicles) are combined into an assessment on ‘People and Communities’. 9.1.6 In the absence of revised DMRB guidance setting out a combined methodology for People and Communities, the approach adopted retains the assessments in two separate chapters under the heading of ‘People and Communities’, Community and Private Assets (Chapter 8) and Effects on All Travellers (this chapter).

RPR Vc89 V3 Part 1
East Perthshire Rare Plant Register March 2015 version M.C.Robinson Veronica fruticans Rock Speedwell 1 INTRODUCTION A Rare Plant Register for the Watsonian Vice-county of East Perthshire (vc89) appeared on-line and in print in April 2011. One of the benefits of collecting all the available records of the vice-county’s rare, scarce and otherwise notable plants together in one place was to be able to see at a glance which sites needed an up- dating visit. This provided a focus for botanical field work in 2011 and 2012, resulting in a new edition in March 2013. This third edition includes the results from two further field seasons A Register for the vice-county of West Perthshire (vc87) is near to completion and one for Mid Perthshire (vc88) will follow in due course. The work involved in the creation of these registers will enable a revision of the Checklist of the Plants of Perthshire (Smith et al, 1992) to be undertaken. In the longer term it is intended to produce a new Flora of Perthshire. The only existing one, The Flora of Perthshire, by Francis Buchanan White, was published in 1898, so a new one is long overdue. No such register can ever be complete and this one must be considered a work in progress. Its two main objectives are 1. To provide information on the more ‘special’ plants of the vice-county for those needing it. 2. To stimulate botanists to provide more records. In respect of objective 1, there are a number of reasons why people may need to know where scarce and potentially vulnerable plant species are growing.

Newsletter Autumn 2004
Aberdeen Telephones Hillwalking Club AUTUMN NEWSLETTER 2004 CHAIRMAN’S CHAT As another hillwalking season draws towards its close, we can reflect on a successful period for the Club. Hike attendances were higher, particularly during summer when numbers usually drop due to holidays, and turnout of new walkers on recent outings is also encouraging. Let’s keep up the good work of building our membership. Summer weather was disappointing compared to last year’s heat wave, and experts tell us we can expect wetter summers due to global-warming climate change. After recent floods and landslides, I was not surprised to hear that August 2004 was the wettest month for many years, but we were fortunate on our outings with some exceptionally fine dry days. Our local reporters comment on individual walks below and I hope this evokes memories of fine days in the hills. With autumn approaching, the Committee has prepared a winter activities program detailed elsewhere in this Newsletter, and we look for your support in attending. REPORTERS’ NOTEBOOK administered medicinally. Refreshments were 25 April: Corriemulzie circular taken in Ballater to finish a perfect day. Bob Will 9 May: Mount Battock and Clachnaben Celebration at Summit of An Socach A well attended walk on a lovely day saw walkers A Welcome Cuppa after a Fine Day’s Outing heading for Morrone and Sgòr Mór.
