Relationship to national and local priorities 6.1 The Local Government and Planning (Scotland) Act 1982; sections 14 to 17. Section 14(1), as amended by Section 128 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994, places upon local authorities a duty to " ensure that there is adequate provision of facilities for the inhabitants of their area for recreational, sporting, cultural, and social activities." 6.2 Argyll and Bute’s Economic Development Strategy 2000 - 2003 states that: “The Arts not only offer the individual personal enjoyment and stimulation but are a valuable means by which people can participate in community life and have social contact and interaction. The Arts can express the shared values of a community, can provide civic pride and hence foster and project a positive image of Argyll and Bute to its residents and visitors alike.” The Council’s four Strategic Cultural Objectives: • to increase access to and participation in cultural activity in Argyll and Bute • to promote and enhance Argyll and Bute’s image and economic sustainability through cultural creativity and quality • to support and develop the contribution of culture to lifelong learning and health and well-being • to sustain and develop individuals and communities through cultural activity 6.3 Culture and Libraries Cultural Strategy (2005) Our vision is to recognise the substantial benefits of access to, and participation in, all forms of cultural activity for individuals, communities and Argyll and Bute as a whole. The main aims are: • support, encourage and improve the current levels of access to cultural and artistic provision • develop Argyll and Bute’s cultural identity by encouraging creativity and supporting excellence • develop the contribution that cultural activities make to the educational, social and economic life of the community • sustain and develop our communities through the cultural heritage and uniqueness of the area 6.4 Community Planning It is recognised that Community Planning is a key mechanism through which cultural provision can be promoted and developed. Vision: Outstanding Environment Topic: Culture, arts and sport Aim: To increase opportunities to celebrate our culture and heritage 3 Appendix 3 This will be achieved by: • encouraging and promoting activities and events • developing opportunities to support and promote built environment and heritage Outcomes: • Availablility of facilities to support arts, cultural and sports activities both locally and nationally • International recognition of Argyll and Bute’s cultural importance 6.5 Argyll and Bute’s Corporate Plan 2007-2011 and beyond Argyll and Bute: Leading Rural Area Forward Looking • communities that are culturally rich with a desire to excel 6.6 Argyll and Bute Single Outcome Agreement • communities that are culturally rich with a desire to excel • proactive communities where local people and organisations look for and create opportunities 7. Service History Campbeltown Museum opened in 1898 in the Burnet building – a purpose built Library and Museum funded by James MacAlister Hall, who gifted the building to the people of Campbeltown. The Kintyre Antiquarian Society, founded in 1921 with the object of studying ‘the Archaeological History and Antiquities of Kintyre’ , added enormously to the archaeological collections through many valuable projects connected with local history, culture and archaeology. For most of the museum’s history, the Head Librarian also functioned as the Museum Curator, often assisted by members of the Kintyre Antiquarian Society on a voluntary basis. Jack G. Scott and Eddie Peltenburg, both archaeologists and curators attached to Glasgow Museums and Glasgow University were also influential in cataloguing and displaying the collections, which built up steadily. In 1994, a Museums Development Officer was appointed to manage Campbeltown Museum and provide advice to independent museums in Argyll and Bute, an arrangement that continued for a ten year period until the post was deleted as a budget saving. In 2007, a public-private partnership between Argyll and Bute Council, Kilmartin House Museum and Auchindrain Museum was agreed whereby the curators of these two independent museums would also curate Campbeltown Museum’s collections in exchange for revenue funding. This arrangement is detailed in a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that was signed in December 2007 and runs from December 2007 until December 2010. 4 Appendix 3 Under the terms of the SLA the Curator of Kilmartin House Museum is also the Curator of Archaeology and Natural Sciences for Campbeltown Museum and the Curator of Auchindrain Museum is also the Curator of Social History and Fine Art for Campbeltown Museum. Both curators also provide advice to independent museums in Argyll and Bute. The opening of Aqualibrium was widely celebrated in Campbeltown, bringing together leisure and library services. The relocation of the library to the new building did however raise issues relating to the function and use of the Burnet Building. At the same time a number of other strategic plans were also converging – the emerging Campbeltown Property Options study and the Customer Services Centre Strategy. The Customer Services Centre Strategy was focused on delivering high quality, efficient customer service through centralised frontline services whether in person, by telephone or online. Informed by Citizen Panel surveys, the Strategy proposed a ‘One Stop Shop’ in each major town which would be able to deal with all frontline customer queries. This was allied with the need to consider good asset management and the best use of premises for staff based in the town. Work began on refurbishing the grade A listed building and changing the nature of the services based in the building. The One Stop Shop opened in October 2007 and the museum reopened in June 2008. Since reopening, the museum has received a positive response from press and attendees and the number of visits since then has proved the interest there is in the museum. Application will be made in December 2008 for Campbeltown Museum to re-enter the Museums, Libraries, Archive National Accreditation scheme. 8.

  • The Seabed Geomorphology and Geological Structure of the Firth of Lorn, Western Scotland, UK, As Revealed by Multibeam Echo-Sounder Survey John A
    Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 105, 273–284, 2015 (for 2014) The seabed geomorphology and geological structure of the Firth of Lorn, western Scotland, UK, as revealed by multibeam echo-sounder survey John A. Howe1, Roger Anderton2, Riccardo Arosio1, Dayton Dove3, Tom Bradwell3, Philip Crump1, Rhys Cooper3 and Andre Cocuccio4 1 Scottish Association for Marine Science, Scottish Marine Institute, Oban PA37 1QA, UK. 2 Kilmichael House, Kilmichael Glassary, Lochgilphead PA31 8QA, UK. 3 British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Rd, Edinburgh EH9 3LA, UK. 4 Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Spring Place, 105 Commercial Road, Southampton SO15 1EG, UK. ABSTRACT: This paper presents recently collected swath bathymetry from the Firth of Lorn. 553 km2 of data were collected during 2012–2013 as part of the INIS Hydro (Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland Hydrographic Survey) programme. The area proves to consist of bedrock-dominated seabed, divided into narrow, stratigraphically- constrained and glacially-over-deepened basins. The bedrock is composed of late Proterozoic Dalradian metasediments overlain unconformably by Old Red Sandstone (ORS) sediments and lavas of ?Silurian-age. The central region of the Firth of Lorn is dominated by a vertical cliff, up to 150 m high and extending for approximately 24 km. This feature, here termed the Insh Fault, may have originated as a Dalradian extensional fault, been reactivated as an ORS feature and now forms a fault-line scarp with resistant ORS rocks on the downthrown side, flanking the more deeply eroded metasediments exposed in the basin. Tertiary intrusives are common, in particular, swarms of Paleocene dolerite dykes exposed on the sediment-free bedrock surfaces, and can be traced for many kilometres.

  • Love Islands Itinerary
    Calgary Bay, Isle of Mull 'LOVE ISLAND' A 10 night itinerary discovering some of Scotland's island jewels. With 7 local gins to enjoy! www.ginspiredscotland.com Oban C olonsay Colonsay Gi n Wild Island Islay Botanist Nerabus J ura Lussa T arbert O ban Map data @ Google 2019 Mull Tobermory Whitetail Gin Scotland's islands have a powerful charm to instantly possess their visitors. Like a fickle reality-show contestant, some give you their stormy side for days at a time, but when their sun comes out, their beauty is dazzling. You fall deeply in love, and you know it’s gonna last a lifetime! There are 700 or so to choose from, but just 89 with people thrown in. The remainder have other amazing residents though. Some permanent, some just passing through. These islands were formed from ancient rocks, in places over a billion years old, others from volcanoes. Explore high mountain contours and low-lying sandy grasslands, there really is somewhere for everyone. Through history they’ve been woo’ed by Celts and Vikings, echoed in the place names and the surviving castles. Much evidence of some turbulent past relationships. These days a more sociable culture has arrived on these gorgeous shores: The Gin Makers. And so, while you don’t need any better reasons to introduce yourself than the islands themselves, you now have the spirit to turn your day dreams into reality, and start seriously loving these islands! www.ginspiredscotland.com Wednesday - Oban and an ocean cruise to Colonsay This tour starts and ends in Oban, on a Wednesday! That might sound very precise, but to make the most of the ferry timetables, keep costs down, and spend less time travelling and more time enjoying, that's the best day to start! You may opt to drive there, and engage a driver for the remainder, or to self drive throughout.

My name is Kathi Kamleitner, I’m a writer and storyteller And I run the Scotland travel blog Watch Me See. After years of helping people from around the world plan their trips, this podcast is my way to help you connect with Scotland regardless of your travel plans. Each episode starts with a travel story about a location or an experience from my travels. Then I’ll tell you some of my top tips for visiting to inspire a future trip. Are you ready? Great, let’s travel to Scotland. _________________________________________________________________________ The first season of Wild for Scotland is all about the Scottish isles. Each week, we travel to a different island and spend some time exploring their nooks and crannies, history and landscapes. This week we are heading to one of my favourite islands on the Scottish west coast, one that you have to make a little extra effort to visit. And from there the story actually takes us to a place that requires even more dedication to get to. We’re going to the Isle of Colonsay, sometimes called the Jewel of the Hebrides. The island lies out at sea on its own, but from its shores you can always see at least one of its closest neighbours - Mull, Jura and Islay.
