ALCOHOL AND DRUG PARTNERSHIP PRESENTATION (LUETTE ROBERTS) Continued to the next meeting. 4. FERRY STANDBY Iain MacFadyen updated the meeting on ferry standby issues and advised that Luing Ferrymen have been offered new contracts, with the regulatory 90 day notice expiring in October. At present night calls impinge on the ferryman’s rest period which affects the following day’s cover, and there is no out-of-hours cover 5. ISLAND AIR SUPPORT SYSTEM Paul Connelly provided a combined short presentation on Island Air Support and Island Emergencies (Items 5 and 6). The fire service cover 13 islands, and dealt with 300 Island incidents during 2010. They will provide air support to 6 islands (Luing, Colonsay, Lismore, Coll, Gigha, and Jura), providing landing lights, etc., for the air ambulance when available. The Fire Board are confident of September timing for air support for Luing, with trials being held throughout October, and will then roll out to the other islands. These 6 islands with resources and vehicular access are currently being looked at, but others can be added later if required. A Memorandum of Understanding has been agreed by the Board and is awaiting official signing off by the Chief Executive. 6. ISLAND EMERGENCIES Combined with previous item. 7. POLICE UPDATE Chief Inspector Bland reported that the area is well resourced and that performance is better now, with more detection and lower violence rates. Happy to work with other on a town fireworks display to minimise conflict. Events where resources will be challenged are the Labour Conference to be held later in the year and the Mull Rally in October. Mike Robertson highlighted a planned 6 day Orienteering event next July which will require parking for 1,000 cars and Kenneth MacIntyre highlighted the Centenary celebrations next year. 8. A.O.C.B.

  • Kintour Landscape Survey Report
    DUN FHINN KILDALTON, ISLAY AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY DATA STRUCTURE REPORT May 2017 Roderick Regan Summary The survey of Dun Fhinn and its associated landscape has revealed a picture of an area extensively settled and utilised in the past dating from at least the Iron Age and very likely before. In the survey area we see settlements developing across the area from at least the 15 th century with a particular concentration of occupation on or near the terraces of the Kintour River. Without excavation or historical documentation dating these settlements is fraught with difficulty but the distinct differences between the structures at Ballore and Creagfinn likely reflect a chronological development between the pre-improvement and post-improvement settlements, the former perhaps a relatively rare well preserved survival.

The survey work was undertaken as part of the Ardtalla Landscape Project a collaborative project between Kilmartin Museum and Reading University, which forms part of the wider Islay Heritage Project.

  • Assistant Warden Oronsay/Colonsay RSPB Scotland Living and Working in Oronsay the Assistant Warden Role What's It Like Living
    Assistant Warden Oronsay/Colonsay RSPB Scotland Living and Working in Oronsay The Island of Oronsay, connected to Colonsay by a tidal strand, is just under 600 hectares in size, leased by the RSPB from its owner. Oronsay is a beguiling mix of rugged hill, rolling sand dunes, grassland and machair. Its special nature is reflected in the designations applied to it; SSSI, SPA and SAC with many archaeological sites and scheduled ancient monuments – including an ancient priory. The SSSI and SPA designations mostly apply to chough and corncrake, both of which species depend on positive agricultural management. To manage these requirements, the RSPB runs an in-hand farming operation, with a current herd of 47 native Luing suckler cows and flocks of Scottish black-face & Hebridean sheep (total 600). The 47ha of in-bye grasslands, arable, marsh & enclosed machair provide the winter keep for the cattle & sheep. These late cut grasslands produce an abundant food source for a wide range of species, as well as a wealth of botanical diversity. The extensive grazing regime supports a mosaic of habitats important for a different suite of flora & fauna. Throughout the Hebrides, the tradition of a mixed farming practice is being lost, leading to a loss of biodiversity. It is therefore very important that Oronsay continues to deliver rich mosaic of habitats to support biodiversity through its farming practices. The Assistant Warden role We need you to help manage this complex site. This is an ideal developmental role with an unusual mix of hands-on agricultural work in close partnership with high-end conservation delivery and biodiversity monitoring.

  • SMILEGOV Island Energy Audits Final Project Report November 2015
    CARES Infrastructure and Innovation Fund Project Number P42241 SMILEGOV Island Energy Audits Final Project Report November 2015 Executive Summary Through this CARES project, the Scottish Islands Federation (SIF) has collaborated with Community Energy Scotland (CES) to devise and trial methodology to enable eight island communities to research and better understand their own overall energy use, by undertaking Island Energy Audits. This initiative was inspired by SIF's joint involvement with CES in 'SMILEGOV', a 30 month project to monitor, support and report on island energy developments and plans throughout Mediterranean, Baltic and Atlantic regions of Europe. Community led island energy audits have been completed for Arran, Bute, Gigha, Iona, Lismore, Luing, Mull and The Small Isles, as islands which opted to participate in the wider SMILEGOV project. Two other island communities, Cumbrae and Skye aspired but lacked local capacity to undertake audits. CES led an initial training session for interested islanders in Oban in May 2014 to brief auditors and also provided mentoring guidance and technical advice throughout. Data templates were completed for each participating island presenting details of overall energy consumption. Each audit report is expected to be revisited, revised and updated over time to inform development of strategic energy action plans focussed on each island, to support and empower more island communities as key stakeholders engaged in shaping more sustainable energy futures for themselves. Copies of each audit report
