Plan. The Plan sets out the Comhairle’s land‐use planning policies to facilitate sustainable economic growth in our Islands and help realise the aspirations of the Outer Hebrides Single Outcome Agreement and the Our Islands Our Future (OIOF) initiative. The opportunities arising from OIOF and the progress on the subsequent Islands (Scotland) Bill will be transformational for our economy and communities. Recognition that different solutions are required for islands is reflected in the Plan through a more flexible Development Strategy and a focus on responsive approaches to areas such as housing provision, infrastructure, and design quality in new developments. The Plan also seeks to provide a framework for some of the challenges we face over the coming years such as climate change adaptation, flooding and housing supply. The promotion of sustainable growth lies at the heart of our efforts to enable strong, thriving communities, and the Plan has a role to play in the delivery of this. By capitalising on the recent major investment commitment for affordable housing and growth sectors such as marine resources, energy, tourism and aquaculture, our islands will be empowered to build a more prosperous and fairer future for our communities. An up to date land use policy framework provides a sound basis for future investment and decision‐making and will help maximise the opportunities arising. The policies and proposals provided within the Plan, together with associated Supplementary Guidance, will help shape the future of the Outer Hebrides over

    The Landscapes of Scotland Descriptions 1 - 10 1 Shetland and Fair Isle 2 Orkney 3 Lewis 4 North Coast 5 Caithness 6 Assynt 7 Sutherland 8 Flow Country 9 Sutherland Kyles and Coast 10 Harris 1 Shetland Description An elongated group of islands, whose character is accentuated by the north-south trend of the hills and ridges. The dramatic coastlines are highly varied, with fjords, arches, stacks, beaches and tombolos (sand bars). The seas are busy with boat and ferry traffic. The coast is where most of the settlement is located, including the distinctive capital of Lerwick with its narrow stone-flagged streets. The islands are mostly tree-less while seabirds throng the coasts and cliffs. Frequent winds sweep over landscapes with long hours of summer light and winter darkness, and a strong sense of Nordic culture. The landscape is rich in exceptionally well preserved archaeological remains. This includes a high proportion of nationally important sites, such as, at Mousa, the best preserved broch in Scotland, and extensive Norse remains in Unst Key technical information sources: Selected creative associations LCA: Shetland Isles Music St Ninian's Isle (Aly Bain); NHF – Shetland 2002 (1) Foula, Papa Stour (Boys of the Lough) HLA Naismith – Buildings of the Scottish Countryside pp 204-206 1 The Landscapes of Scotland 2 Orkney Description A group of diverse islands centred around a larger “mainland”. The southern islands encompass the renowned anchorage of Scapa Flow. Most of the land is low-lying, with fertile green farmland, sandy beaches and rocky headlands.

Two of these Danish wind boss admits: translate as follows: z The forced development of wind turbines in Denmark Wind-power raises the demand for subsidy in øre/kWh; z The increased development of wind turbines does not reduce Danish CO2 emissions. hasn’t cut The argument is simple. Denmark, unable to absorb most of its wind output, exports over 80 per cent of it. By Denmark’s CO definition, this does not cut Danish emissions. 2 Much of it goes to Scandinavian suppliers (with six per cent losses en route) to replace genuinely clean hydro power emissions or Swedish nuclear. So it doesn’t cut emissions there either. Wind-power does almost nothing to cut emissions of Whilst Danish wind-power generators are heavily subsidised, buyers from other countries pay the going rate CO2 because its output is so unpredictable. This makes its fossil-fuel backup highly inefficient and and sometimes even charge for taking it. tends to offset the savings as it makes. Buying electricity at giveaway prices allows generators to New Labour’s ‘Renewables Obligations’ subsidy schemes turn their hydro off, save water – and wait for the wind to do not oblige electricity suppliers to measure cuts in CO2 drop so that they can sell the hydro at better prices.

  • Outer Hebrides
    Outer Hebrides – Agosto 2015 Equipaggi: Dario (anni 69) e Armanda (anni 66) di Cuneo (Piemonte), su semintegrale Roller Team T-Line Marco (anni 65) e Giosanna (anni 64) dalla Versilia, provincia di Lucca (Toscana), su semintegrale Laika Kreos 3010 Armanda e Giosanna sono sorelle. Siamo camperisti da oltre trent'anni, all'inizio in compagnia dei figli ed ora, acquisito il grado di nonni, condividiamo, noi quattro, molte delle nostre uscite, in particolare le ferie estive. Dopo aver percorso in lungo e largo tutta l'Europa, con puntate in Marocco e Turchia, quest'anno abbiamo deciso di visitare le Ebridi Esterne in Scozia. Avendo constatato l'assenza di diari di viaggio ad hoc, ci siamo motivati (e questa per noi è la prima esperienza) a compilare il presente reportage, scritto a quattro mani, per dare il nostro modesto contributo a chi, come noi, voglia visitare queste meravigliose isole (a parere di chi scrive), fortunatamente ancora intatte nelle bellezze naturali. Preparativi. Presso negozio specializzato sono stati acquistati una carta topografica ed una guida della Scozia ed abbiamo preso ulteriori informazioni presso siti internet, nonchè prenotati i biglietti andata/ritorno Calais-Dover e quello di sola andata Oban-Lochboisdale. Fatti quindi tutti i preparativi, riempiti di viveri e acqua frigorifero e dispensa, caricate le biciclette, controllati i documenti di bordo e le carte di identità, istallato il navigatore, finalmente si parte. Viaggio. Per l'equipaggio toscano l'ora ics scatta venerdì 31 luglio, ore 19,30, con il tachimetro che segna km.33.012. L'incontro con l'altro equipaggio è per la mattina seguente, superati il traforo del Frejus (a pagamento) e Modane, nel parcheggio attrezzato di Aiguebelle (Francia).

    Gatliff Hebridean Hostels Trust www.gatliff.org.uk newsLetteR 35 becemseR 2002 i.. Settlements on the island of Scarp, North Harris, once home to an early Gatliff hostel. (Photo courtesy of Sea Trek) Healthy Recruitment The Membership Secretary, Peter Clarke, indicates that there are 246 paid-up members of the GHHT. During 2001 there was a healthy number of 59 new members joining. This is encouraging -for the contacts and networks created by individuals with similar interests can only prosper the Trust. Do use your connections to boost recruitment directly or inform the Secretary of potential new members. His e-mail is [email protected] .uk The Membership Income during 2002 has been £1230 and in addition the donations received directly from them is £2166. 148 members have signed Gift Aid Forms and the recovered tax has yielded £755. So from this source alone the work of maintaining and promoting the four hostels in the group has been supported by over £4000. AGM Matters The Annual General meeting of the Gatliff Hebridean Hostels Trust was held on 14th September 2002 at the YHA in Oxford. It was in an entirely new venue and enabled more people to become aware of the activities of the group. The hostels saw a decrease in usage of 3.2% in 2001, caused in part by the downturn owing to Foot & Mouth disease. Fortunately neither the Islands nor the North of Scotland were directly infected, but the tourist trade was indirectly affected. However, there was a 12% increase in overnight stays at Howmore with its new dormitory.

His book, Coastline UK - Amazing Views from the Air, was published on 1 June by Thames and Hudson at £24.99. When Richard Cooke was asked about his favourite places along the Scottish coastline, he responded' 'I think Loch Shawbost in Lewis and Luskentyre in Harris were two of the most enchanting places - craggy summits, razor-sharp outcrops, gauzy pools of turquoise.' It is worth noting that Shawbost is only some six miles to the north and east of Garenin.
