Fort William bis Inverness, also von der Westküste bis zur Ostküste. Fort William ist aufgrund seiner zentra- len Lage genau wie Inverness am nörd- lichen Ende des Great Glen ein Zen- trum des Tourismus. Nicht weit von Fort William entfernt liegt Lochaline. Nach einer kurzen Fährpassage gelangt man von hier aus auf die wild- romantische Insel Mull (Ք S. 230). Eine der landschaftlich schönsten Straßen Schottlands, die Road to the Isles (A 830), verbindet Fort William mit dem Hafenort Mallaig – beste Aus- blicke hat man auch vom Zug aus (in den Sommermonaten Nostalgie-Trips mit Dampflok). Von Mallaig aus starten auch die Fähren zu den lohnenswerten Inseln Rum, Eigg, Muck und Canna. Be- dient wird von hier auch die Insel Skye (Ք S. 492), die man aber auch ganz bequem über die Brücke zwischen Kyle of Lochalsh und Kyleakin erreicht.

    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 5.2 SOUTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE Report No PLS/011/14 25 February 2014 13/04363/FUL: Mr John Mann Corran Ferry Hotel, Onich, Fort William, PH33 6SE Report by Area Planning Manager – South SUMMARY Description : Erection of restaurant and bar Recommendation - GRANT Ward : 22 - Fort William and Ardnamurchan Development category : Local Development Pre-determination hearing : None required Reason referred to Committee : Timeous objections from members of the public residing at 5 or more separate addresses. 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 Planning permission is sought for a replacement for the Corran Inn, which was demolished in late 2013. The proposed development would comprise a bar and restaurant, with the restaurant on ground and first floors, and a self contained one bedroom manager's flat, accessed via an external stair, on the first floor. The proposed footprint would largely coincide with the former building. 1.2 Informal pre-application enquiry 12/04272/PREAPP was submitted: change of use from hotel/B&B accommodation to 4/5 self catering units within existing building, with existing bar retained. Generally supportive response subject to occupancy controls to prevent units being sold off separately. 1.3 The site is just off the A82 approximately 9 miles south of Fort William, adjacent to the queue for the ferry crossing from Nether Lochaber to Ardgour, and next to the Corran Bunkhouse. There is a car park in front of the former Inn, accessed off the road to the ferry. No changes are proposed to the existing access and car park. 1.4 No supporting information submitted.

GLASG 1)W. l!T PREFATORY NOTE AFTER the publication of the Records of the Clan ancl Narne of Fergiisson, Ferguson, and Fergus in 1895, the Editors received a number of communications from persons of the name resident in Canada, the United States, and elsewhere. There also reached them a considerable amount of additional information, illustrating the earlier history of the Clan, and indicating the common origin of various families. The discovery of papers at Pitfour a year after the book came out was followed by the appearance of His Grace the Duke of Atholl's Chronicles of the Fa1nilies of .Atholl and Tulliebardine, which gives many interesting particulars about the Olan in Athole, while the Editors have been placed in communication with the representa­ tives of other families, who had been unaware of, or omitted to contribute to the original volume. Ultimately in the spring of 1898 the Clan Fergusson Society authorised the preparation and publication of the present supplemen­ tary volume. The Editors have, as on the previous occasion, en­ deavoured to supply notices of the families dealt with from the pen of a member of the particular family.
