Twenty-eighth chief of Clan Gillean ear Members of the Clan. I cannot start my letter to you D all for 2007 without thanking those of you who wrote letters or sent cards, when Mary died. They were all appreciated not just by me but also by all the family. Mary was determined that her cancer was not going to stop her leading as normal a life as possible, and this she did with the courage and determination that were the hallmarks of her life. She didn’t complain and just got on with things knowing that her cancer was incurable, and that it had not responded to treatment. Mary was determined that we would go south for Christmas to spend it with all the children and their families. We had a great Christmas together, but Mary died before we returned to Scotland. So much of what has been done at Duart, since my father died in 1990, was the result of Mary’s thoughts and ideas. Mary organised the shop and e-commerce, many of the displays in the Castle, and the children’s panels, which give children their own tour of the Castle. There were lots of good things that happened in 2007. Our grandchildren increased by four. Emma, the Maid of Morven had twins, Francesco and Cecilia, in April; Alexandra had her fi rst baby, Betsie in June, and Malcolm and Anna’s son Archie, a The Chief and Richard Compton Maclean of Torloisk, unveiling a cairn brother for Oscar and Fergus, was born in November.

  • 5 Loch Na Keal NSA: Identifying Study Areas Four Main Study Areas Were Identified for Loch Na Keal NSA
    Isle of Mull: Loch na Keal NSA Landscape Capacity for Housing Final Report May 2006 5 Loch na Keal NSA: Identifying Study Areas Four main study areas were identified for Loch na Keal NSA: • Inner Loch na Keal, which focuses on the inland reaches of the loch, where steep slopes give way to level land created by alluvial deposits • Outer Loch na Keal, which focuses on the settlements overlooking Ulva and the scattered islands and skerries at the mouth of the loch • Inner Loch Tuath, which focuses on the settlements along the inner northern shore of the loch • Outer Loch Tuath, which focuses on the largely linear sporadic settlement at the very western end of the loch 10 Isle of Mull: Loch na Keal NSA Landscape Capacity for Housing Final Report May 2006 8 Inner Loch Tuach This area extends northwards from the lowlying green headland of Kilbrennan to the wooded policies of Torloisk House. The road loosely links the settlements, following the well defined change in gradient between the more level, lower lying and accessible land adjacent to the loch and the rugged slopes of the steeper land which enclose the loch to the north east. The land form alternates between alluvial deposit which has spilled out from the larger watercourses, rocky knolls and headlands and steep slopes punctuated by crags, steep ridges and terraces. The vegetation reflects the landform, with some improved grassland located on more level and accessible land, while field boundaries on the more rugged terrain have generally fallen into disrepair. These more rugged slopes are dominated by semi natural vegetation, with sporadic drifts of native woodland extending across widespread grazing land and wetland.
