  • May 2016 Suzanne Burgess
    May 2016 Suzanne Burgess Saving the small things that run the planet Summary The John Muir Way, opened in 2014, stretches 134 miles through nine local authority areas, including East Dunbartonshire. This B-lines project, the first in Scotland, has identified new opportunities for grassland habitat creation, enhancement and management along the route of the John Muir Way as it passes through East Dunbartonshire as well as 1.86 miles either side of this. Through this mapping exercise a number of sites have been identified including 25 schools and nurseries; 5 care homes; 21 places of worship and cemeteries; 2 historic landmarks and buildings; and 1 train station. Additionally, 4 golf courses (141.2 ha), 44 public parks and play spaces (116.88 ha) and one country park (251.74 ha) were identified and mapped. There are a number of sites within this project that have nature conservation designations, including 45 Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (2,999.3 ha), 2 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (36.57 ha) and 2 Local Nature Reserves (60.97 ha). A further 5 sites have previously been identified as having an Open Mosaic of Habitat on Previously Developed Land and cover a total area of 13.71 ha. By mapping new opportunities this will aid in the future development of projects that will provide real benefits to our declining populations of pollinating insects of bees, wasps, hoverflies and butterflies as well as other wildlife that these habitats support. 1 Contents Page Page Number 1.

CORRIES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THOSE OF THE CAMPSIE FELLS. By Professor J. W. GREGORY, D.SC, F.R.S. [Read 8th May, 1913.] CORRIES are rounded, arm-chair like, or amphitheatre-shaped depressions, with steep smooth walls and flat floors, and are situated on hillsides or beside mountain valleys. The term has, however, been used in Scotland for any rounded niche beside a valley, as by Scott in " Waverley," chapter xvi. " 1 This/ said Evan, ' is the pass of Bally-Brough, which was kept in former times by ten of the Clan Donnochie against a hundred of the Low Country carles. The graves of the slain are still to be seen in that little corri, or bottom, on the opposite side of the burn—if your eyes are good, you may see the green specks among the heather.'" This pass must have been at a low level, a little within the Highland border, and from the reference to the Clan Donnochie Scott probably had in mind a pass on the Tay above Dunkeld. The term is now generally restricted to hollows well raised on the sides of mountains. The term corrie is the Scottish equivalent for the names Kar in the Bavarian Alps, Botner in Scandinavia, Oule in the Pyrenees, Cirque in the French Alps, Cwm in Wales, Coum in north-western and Coombe in southern England. Some authorities discriminate between cirques and corries. Thus Professors Penck1 and Herbertson2 limit the term cirques to the depressions at the heads of valleys, and apply the term corries only to those on the sides.

  • Dunbartonshire Local Biodiversity Action Plan
    Dunbartonshire local biodiversity Action Plan Dunbartonshire Biodiversity Partnership 2010 - 2013 02/03 Foreword Welcome to the Dunbartonshire Local Biodiversity Action Plan! The plan, created through a formal agreement with East Dunbartonshire Council and West Dunbartonshire Council, and co-funded by Scottish Natural Heritage represents the final action plan required to deliver full support of biodiversity conservation by local authorities and biodiversity partnerships across Scotland. Aimed at the general public, schools, conservation interest groups, businesses, non-government organisations and Council departments, the plan aims to give a very broad overview of the issues facing nature conservation in Dunbartonshire today. The plan, though complex in nature, will hopefully reflect the problems we face along with the potential of change we can achieve. Our natural resources are threatened from a variety of factors such as climate change, urban expansion, habitat degradation, poor management, lack of awareness and anti-social behaviour. It is extremely important that we stress the urgency with which we need to address such issues and encourage sustainable use of the landscape and protection of its species. More so now than ever, we need the support of landowners, developers and the general public to look after our wildlife so that we can pass on a healthy balance to future generations. Rhondda Geekie Leader East Dunbartonshire Council Ronnie McColl Leader West Dunbartonshire Council foreword General outline of the Plan The Plan will be divided into 4 main parts. The first part will give an overview of biodiversity, the reasoning behind the drawing up of the Dunbartonshire Local Biodiversity Action Plan and finally the funding streams and mechanisms that could be used to implement the work.
