  • 2003 Bumbling in Scotland Outer Hebrides and Skye Gillie and Robin
    Bumbling in Scotland Outer Hebrides and Skye by Gillie and Robin Whittle 22nd May - 13th June 2003 ________________ “Bumble Chugger” and our four wheel trailer needed a good check over before braving the currently gale lashed West Coast of Scotland. Inevitably the wheel bearings, brakes and brake cables needed attention. A very messy operation but we have found it to be quite essential. The first year the garage did it, but we decided the expense was too much for us, so after finding a trailer centre that could provide all the parts we have carried out the work ourselves since then. The weather forecasts were distinctly bad for the few weeks leading up to the trip. Just in case we were to get good weather we embarked on a course of Marmite, which one of the magazines had said will keep the mosquitoes at bay. 1 Our 9 o’clock start on Thursday morning (22 May) was a bit optimistic, and it was another three quarters of an hour before we were finally packed up and the door locked. A quick ‘goodbye’ to Mr and Mrs Robin, who were hovering around the back door as usual, and we were off. We felt we knew the road to Oxford quite well, having been along it the two previous weekends. On the high ground before dropping down to the Oxford valley, we saw five or six large red kites circling and wheeling. We had seen them on our previous trips and had been surprised to learn from our bird book that their whereabouts was recorded.

  • HORSE MUSSEL BEDS Image Map
    PRIORITY MARINE FEATURE (PMF) - FISHERIES MANAGEMENT REVIEW Feature HORSE MUSSEL BEDS Image Map Image: Rob Cook Description Characteristics - Horse mussels (Modiolus modiolus) may occur as isolated individuals or aggregated into beds in the form of scattered clumps, thin layers or dense raised hummocks or mounds, with densities reaching up to 400 individuals per m2 (Lindenbaum et al., 2008). Individuals can grow to lengths >150 mm and live for >45 years (Anwar et al., 1990). The mussels attach to the substratum and to each other using tough threads (known as byssus) to create a distinctive biogenic habitat (or reef) that stabilises seabed sediments and can extend over several hectares. Silt, organic waste and shell material accumulate within the structure and further increase the bed height. In this way, horse mussel beds significantly modify sedimentary habitats and provide substrate, refuge and ecological niches for a wide variety of organisms. The beds increase local biodiversity and may provide settling grounds for commercially important bivalves, such as queen scallops. Fish make use of both the higher production of benthic prey and the added structural complexity (OSPAR, 2009). Definition - Beds are formed from clumps of horse mussels and shells covering more than 30% of the seabed over an area of at least 5 m x 5 m. Live adult horse mussels must be present. The horse mussels may be semi-infaunal (partially embedded within the seabed sediments - with densities of greater than 5 live individuals per m2) or form epifaunal mounds (standing clear of the substrate with more than 10 live individuals per clump) (Morris, 2015).

Xonoon GIBBINGS & COY., LTD., 18 Bury Street, w.c. 190 0. TO Sir KENNETH MATHESON, Bart. OF LOCHALSH, A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE, BRAVE, AND STALWART OF HIGHLAND FAMILIES. PREFACE. The first edition of the late Mr Mackenzie's "History of the Mathesons" appeared in 1882, and the book has now been long out of print. Mr Mackenzie had a difficult task in writing this work, for though the Clan in the 14th century undoubtedly rivalled in position and power the neighbouring Mackenzies, yet through the action of the Macdonalds in the following century its unity was broken, and it became a " minor clan," with no charters, and with no references thereto in public documents. The individual history of the Northern Clans at best begins with the 15th century, but here Mr Mackenzie had only the clan traditions to avail himself of until the 17th century, when the minor clans all over the North come into the light of history from under the shadow of the larger clans and their chiefs.

  • 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.
