Mòd Ionadach Na Dreòlluinn 2015 Mòd Ionadach na Dreòlluinn 2015 Tobar Mhoire Tobermory £5 Dihaoine 11mh an t-Sultain Disathairne 12mh an t-Sultain 11th/12th September Angus Stewart 2 3 Mòd Ionadach na Dreòlluinn, 2015 Chan urrainn dhomh creidsinn gu bheil bliadhna ann bhon a bha mi a’ cur fàilte oirbh don Mhòd againn ann an 2014! Co-dhiù, tha’n t-àm ann a-rithist, agus tha mi’n dòchas gu bheil fadachd oirbh uile a bhith gabhail pàirt ann am Mòd Ionadach na Dreòlluinn 2015. Mòran taing do na h-uile duine a bhios ag obair ag ullachadh nam farpaiseach, clann agus inbhich; as an aonais, cha bhiodh am Mòd againn. Taing cuideachd dhaibhsan a bhios a’ cur taic ris a’ Mhòd ann an iomadh dòigh: le a bhith sa chathair aig farpaisean, a’ trusadh airgid, no a’ deanamh tì! Tha mi cinnteach gun còrd ur turas ribh, agus gum bu mhath a thèid leibh aig a’ Mhòd Nàiseanta san Òban. I cannot believe that a year has passed since I was welcoming you to our Mòd in 2014! But that time is here again, and I hope you are all looking forward to taking part in Mòd Ionadach na Dreòlluinn 2015. Many thanks to everyone who works hard preparing competitors, young and old; without these people, we would not have a Mòd. Thanks also to those who support the Mòd in many different ways: chairing competitions, collecting money at the door, or even making tea! I am sure you will enjoy your trip, and the very best of luck at the National Mòd in Oban.

I am also grateful to the British Council for granting me a scholarship which enabled me to study at the Institute of History, University of Oslo and to the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for financing an additional 3 months fieldwork in the Sunnmore Islands. My sincere thanks also go to Prof Ragni Piene who employed me on a part time basis thereby allowing me to spend an additional year in Oslo when I was without funding. In Norway I would like to thank Dr P S Anderson who acted as my supervisor. Thanks are likewise due to Dr H Kongsrud of the Norwegian State Archives and to Dr T Scmidt of the Place Name Institute, both of whom were generous with their time.

At the opening of Session 2017-18 the school roll was 221 with 20 children in the Pr-5 Unit, 59 in the Primary and 143 in the Secondary Departments. Generally, the children in Pre-5 and Primary are drawn from Tobermory and its immediate surrounding area only as we have associate Primaries at Salen, Dervaig, Lochdonhead and Ulva Ferry. The Secondary serves north Mull and each year around half of our S1 pupils transfer from Tobermory Primary while the remainder make the transition from our associate primaries. This session we also have 7 pupils attending on placing requests from Lochaline (Highland Council). The school invests considerable time in maintaining and developing links with its partner primary schools engaging in many joint events including residential trips and themed days which support Health and Wellbeing and Wider Achievement. Further to this, the Mull cluster come together to take part in CPD and share practice through the Mull Literacy Group moderation meetings. In the Primary and Secondary departments, in addition to the SLT, there is a staffing allocation of 20fte supported by an Additional Support Needs team providing staffing at a level of 5.46fte; some of the ASN team are assigned to Priority 1 pupils and others provide support to the full range of students.

  • 5 Loch Na Keal NSA: Identifying Study Areas Four Main Study Areas Were Identified for Loch Na Keal NSA
    Isle of Mull: Loch na Keal NSA Landscape Capacity for Housing Final Report May 2006 5 Loch na Keal NSA: Identifying Study Areas Four main study areas were identified for Loch na Keal NSA: • Inner Loch na Keal, which focuses on the inland reaches of the loch, where steep slopes give way to level land created by alluvial deposits • Outer Loch na Keal, which focuses on the settlements overlooking Ulva and the scattered islands and skerries at the mouth of the loch • Inner Loch Tuath, which focuses on the settlements along the inner northern shore of the loch • Outer Loch Tuath, which focuses on the largely linear sporadic settlement at the very western end of the loch 10 Isle of Mull: Loch na Keal NSA Landscape Capacity for Housing Final Report May 2006 7 Outer Loch na Keal This area embraces the stretch of road from Acharonich to just south of Kilbrennan. The steep slopes which characterise the inner loch are here replaced by areas of relatively level terrain and alluvial deposits which extend upwards from the shallow bays of the sound of Ulva and Laggan Bay. The coastline becomes very indented, with small islands adding to the interlock between land and sea. Ulva appears to be only just separate from the main island of Mull, with narrow waterways slipping between elongated islets. The vegetation is dominated by semi natural vegetation of unimproved grazing, wetland and occasional willow scrub. More level, drier fields of bright green grassland are located adjacent to the farms. The road winds its way along the edge of the steeper slopes, loosely linking the settlement and allowing a sequence of extensive panoramic views to be revealed at each crest and corner of its route.

  • Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan
    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan 2011 In 2010 the Ross of Mull (including Pennyghael and Tiroran) and Iona were identified by Highlands and Islands Enterprise as being an area which could receive support through their Growth at the Edge (GatE) programme. This involved supporting an anchor organisation, in this case Mull and Iona Community Trust, to facilitate community growth through the employment of a Local Development Officer and the creation of a Community Plan based on consultation with the local community and a socio-economic analysis. The project is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise & LEADER. The document will always be open to suggestions and changes from the community and should not be regarded as being inflexible. Pennyghael village, A. MacCallum 2 Contents Introduction 4 How the plan was created 5 Our vision 6 Our Outcomes 6 Section 1 Population 7 Section 2 Physical Infrastructure 8 Section 3 Business, Employment & Economy 11 Section 4 Culture and Heritage 14 Section 5 Community Facilities & Social Infrastructure 16 How does the plan fit with European, national and local priorities 18 Timeline 20 Kilvickeon Beach 3 Introduction “It is a beautiful place to be brought up and you get to know everyone really well.” Oban High School Pupil About the plan In creating this plan, we aim to define our scope of activities over the next 5-10 years and give you an insight into how wide our ambitions are to be a sustainable community and where we, as a community, intend to go. The plan is an opportunity for our communities to control our development and implement projects, which will be of direct benefit to the Ross of Mull and Iona.

  • The Tunnock's Tour of Mull Rally 2007
    The Tunnock’s Tour of Mull Rally 2007 Last Updated 7 October 2007 Rally Headquarters and Rally Control will be in the Salen Hotel, and most of the Safety Team will be staying at the Isle of Mull Hotel, Craignure. All stage safety traffic will be on 81 MHz. and the ‘red’ and ‘blue’ UK General frequencies. All ‘mandatory’ and ‘optional’ radio points for each stage are shown in this safety plan, with the mandatory ones matching the information shown in the Road Book which is issued to competitors. RAYNET will provide links from all stages to Rally HQ at Salen. This year RAYNET is again providing a radio position finding system for the Road Closing Car, the Stage Set Up Officer, The Chief Safety Officer, the Chief Marshal, the Flying Control Car and the Road Opening Car. Subject to available equipment supplied by individuals who hold the necessary license, additional mobiles may also be covered. As the Chief Safety Officer and the Chief Marshal must contact Rally HQ directly after completing each stage, it is counter- productive to report their positions to Rally HQ, as doing so unnecessarily increases radio traffic. Radio operators should therefore not report these vehicles to Rally Control. The senior member of each Recovery vehicle will act as the Stage Safety Officer on their stages and as the vehicles are equipped with 81 MHz, and in most cases with RAYNET, they will act as the radio link between the locus of any incident, the start and end of the stage, and Rally HQ in Salen.

I am under special obligations to Professor Magnus Maclean, Glasgow, and Mr. Peter Mac- lean, Secretary of the Maclean Association, for sending me such extracts as I needed from works to which I had no access in this country. It is only fair to state that of all the help I received the most valuable was from them. I am greatly indebted to Mr. John Maclean, Convener of the Finance Committee of the Maclean Association, for labouring faithfully to obtain information for me, and especially for his efforts to get the subscriptions needed to have the book pub- lished. I feel very much obliged to Mr.

  • Mull April 2011
    Mull 23rd - 30th April 2011 – Chris Barlow A long overdue birding holiday to Mull spending a week with the family based in a self catering cottage (Kellan Mill) on the shore of Loch Na Keal. Rain on the first morning, dry warm and sunny although windy for the week except 28th when still and cloudy. Sites visited during the week Loch Na Keal, 24th & 25th Pulling in anywhere round the loch often proved rewarding, each bay held a pair of Great Northern Divers in the first part of the week, the scrub and small patches of reeds held increasing numbers of vocal warblers and Cuckoos were heard regularly. Oystercatchers and Whimbrels were common but the star of the area was undoubtedly the White-tailed Eagles, with 2 adults and a 1st year juvenile both seen in flight together one afternoon and another seen regularly especially when the wildlife cruise boat was around on the Friday morning when it went to the boat 4 times, we opted out of paying £30 for the trip after watching from the shore on Monday when it went for a single fish and took that a long way from the boat. Calgary, 25th & 26th 2 Great Northern Divers from the old ruined pier was the highlight here. A very vocal Song Thrush sang throughout the morning of the 26th and a male Whitethroat made his presence known at the foot of the cliffs by the pier. Sand Martins were nesting in the dunes. Tobermory area & Aros Park 26th & 29th North of Tobermory gave us our first glimpses of Hen Harriers while the Forestry Commission site of Aros Park just south of the town gave outstanding views of Wood Warblers which favoured the area around the south of the loch and a singing Tree Pipit in the open area found by following the path up the hill just past the play area at the northern end.
