    Staffin Community Trust Church of Scotland Annexe Staffin Isle of Skye IV51 9JX Email: [email protected] TITLE: Brief for Interpretation and design tender Date: June 2018 1. Background & Context Situated is in the north-east of the Isle of Skye, in the Scottish Highlands, Staffin is renowned for its scenery and thousands of people from all over the world come to see its scenic landmarks which include the Quiraing, Old Man of Storr and Kilt Rock. Known as Taobh Sear in Gaelic, Staffin has a resident population of more than 500 people, who live in 23 different crofting townships dotted around Staffin Bay and the Trotternish Ridge. They have the good fortune to live in an area which has a range of top-tier heritage and environmental designations, possessing an international reputation for geology, palaeontology and cultural heritage. It is the purpose of this project to bring all these aspects of this community to life through the stories and experiences of the people of Staffin. The Skye Ecomuseum, also known as ‘Ceumannan,’ is a museum without walls. All the exhibits are located in its environment and require a short walk to uncover their images and stories. It was established in 2008 by the Staffin Community Trust (SCT). The Skye Ecomuseum became the first in Scotland and the UK, with funding from a variety of European and national sources, including the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), 10 years ago. With its other title, Ceumannan, ‘footsteps’ in Gaelic, the project is estimated to have helped attract thousands of extra visitors annually to Staffin and encouraged them to stay longer, boosting the local economy as a result.

  • Sleat Deer Management Plan
    South Skye Deer Management Group Deer Control Plan This Deer Control Plan outlines the South Skye Deer Management Group’s approach to Deer Control within its defined area of operations. Deer numbers are lower than the national average, therefore the SSDMG acts as a Deer Control Group. This ensures deer can be managed at a level which will not impact adversely with other stakeholder’s interests yet determines they are properly managed. To be effective, this plan is a living document which is sufficiently flexible to adapt to change and illustrate current data. This means that sections will evolve throughout the year as data changes and operational needs alter, that the Plan will be reviewed annually for operational reasons and be due a full review for suitability every three years.
