  • A Lap of Loch Ness on Mountain Bike Tracks and Quiet Roads

    A Lap of Loch Ness on Mountain Bike Tracks and Quiet Roads

    A Lap of Loch Ness on mountain bike tracks and quiet roads with the Highlands’ bike hire experts 1 www.TicketToRideHighlands.co.uk a Lap of the Loch Around Loch Ness by bike on mountain tracks and quiet roads A four day tour around one of the most beautiful lochs in Scotland and certainly the most famous in the world, combining some strenuous off­road tracks with some easier riding on quiet roads. Starting and finishing in Inverness, the scenery and views are great throughout the trip, with the added excitement of a possible glimpse of the elusive monster, keep your camera handy. Loch Ness is a quite unique body of water. You would expect that a loch large enough to contain the whole world’s population (yes really!) to be enormous, and Loch Ness really is a monster. But although it's hugely deep, the loch is only about 23 miles long and a mile wide. The countryside surrounding the loch is very scenic, with hidden glens, ruined castles and friendly villages to explore. The route on the north side makes use of the Great Glen Way, a walking and cycling route, that is rough in some places while in others offers pretty easy cycling and is car­free for almost its entire length. On the south side of Loch Ness you have a choice, the newly opened South Loch Ness Trail for mountain bikes and walkers, or quiet back roads with very little traffic. Of course, you can decide which route to choose when you see them, or mix the two together depending on how adventurous you feel.

Proposals to resolve differences and to reflect current working arrangements were made for adoption: • Catchment Area Proposed to adopt larger catchment area i.e. that from 2002 addendum Concern raised that Invermoriston had previously not wished to be included, so final agreement was for area to cover from Dochgarroch to Achnahannet, West to Cannich and North to Kiltarlity, along with existing Drumnadrochit and Glen Urquhart area. • Number of board members/Quorum Proposed to adopt minimum of 6 directors with posts of Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary allocated.

Accounts to continue to be published by end April. • Membership/Director requirements Clarification proposed so that only members who are owners of businesses resident within catchment area can act as directors and/or have voting rights, however others with interest are welcome to act as advisors to the Board.

  • The Scottish Highlanders and the Land Laws: John Stuart Blackie

    The Scottish Highlanders and the Land Laws: John Stuart Blackie

    The Scottish Highlanders and the Land Laws: An Historico-Economical Enquiry by John Stuart Blackie, F.R.S.E. Emeritus Professor of Greek in the University of Edinburgh London: Chapman and Hall Limited 1885 CHAPTER I. The Scottish Highlanders. “The Highlands of Scotland,” said that grand specimen of the Celto-Scandinavian race, the late Dr. Norman Macleod, “ like many greater things in the world, may be said to be well known, and yet unknown.”1 The Highlands indeed is a peculiar country, and the Highlanders, like the ancient Jews, a peculiar people; and like the Jews also in certain quarters a despised people, though we owe our religion to the Hebrews, and not the least part of our national glory arid European prestige to the Celts of the Scottish Highlands. This ignorance and misprision arose from several causes; primarily, and at first principally, from the remoteness of the situation in days when distances were not counted by steam, and when the country, now perhaps the most accessible of any mountainous district in Europe, was, like most parts of modern Greece, traversed only by rough pony-paths over the protruding bare bones of the mountain. In Dr. Johnson’s day, to have penetrated the Argyllshire Highlands as far west as the sacred settlement of St. Columba was accounted a notable adventure scarcely less worthy of record than the perilous passage of our great Scottish traveller Bruce from the Red Sea through the great Nubian Desert to the Nile; and the account of his visit to those unknown regions remains to this day a monument of his sturdy Saxon energy, likely to be read with increasing interest by a great army of summer perambulators long after his famous dictionary shall have been forgotten, or relegated as a curiosity to the back shelves of a philological library.
