All rights reserved. Loch Laxford Sanitary Survey Report V1.0 24/10/2014 i I. Executive Summary Under (EC) Regulation 854/2004, which sets forth specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption, sanitary surveys of production areas and their associated hydrological catchments and coastal waters are required in order to establish the appropriate representative monitoring points (RMPs) for the monitoring programme. The purpose of the sanitary survey is to demonstrate compliance with the requirements stated in Annex II (Chapter II Paragraph 6) of Regulation (EC) 854/2004. The sanitary survey results in recommendations on the location of RMPs, the frequency of sampling for microbiological monitoring, and the boundaries of the production areas deemed to be represented by the RMPs. A sanitary survey was undertaken on the classified mussel fishery at Loch Laxford on the basis recommended in the European Union Reference Laboratory publication: “Microbiological Monitoring of Bivalve Mollusc Harvesting Area Guide to Good Practice: Technical Application” (http://www.cefas.defra.gov.uk/nrl/information-centre/eu-good-practice-guide.aspx). This area was selected for survey at this time based on a risk-based ranking amongst those Scottish production areas that had yet to receive a survey. Loch Laxford is a sea loch in the northwest of Scotland. It is complex in both topography and bathymetry. The classified production area is comprised of six long-line mussel farms located within both the main loch and within Loch a’ Chadh-Fi, which adjoins it. Sources of human faecal contamination are principally associated with the settlements of Ardmore, Fanagmore and Foindle. Although many of the septic tanks are consented to discharge to soakaway, a number were identified that discharge to the marine environment. There is likely to be a greater overall input to the loch in the vicinity of Ardmore in the spring and summer due to the presence of visitor accommodation. Contamination arising from animal sources is principally associated with sheep, located around Loch a’ Chadh-Fi, and geese and seabirds, noted around the loch but with significant populations near the mouth. Estimated E. coli loadings in watercourses were low to moderate at the time of the shoreline survey. The estimated particle transport distance over a single ebb or flood tide was estimated to be approximately 1 km, with the residual transport over a full tidal cycle being of the order of 0.5 km. From this perspective, many of the mussel farm areas are at, or beyond the limit of transport from identified point sources or watercourses and may only be exposed to intermittent diffuse pollution. The exception is the Loch a’ Chadh-Fi, Ardmore site which is close to sources of contamination from both humans and sheep. A bacteriological survey undertaken at three points showed higher mean and maximum levels at Loch a’ Chadh-Fi, Ardmore than at two other sites. Loch Laxford Sanitary Survey Report V1.0 24/10/2014 ii It is recommended that the production area boundaries be revised to exclude known concentrations of point and diffuse sources where this will not impact on the extent of the current fisheries. It is also recommended that the RMP is moved to the Loch a’ Chadh- Fi, Ardmore site to reflect the risk of contamination that has been identified at that location. Further details are given in the sampling plan. Loch Laxford Sanitary Survey Report V1.0 24/10/2014 iii II.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 097, 1977
    Animal, fish and fowl PATRICK W. SCOTT Several years ago, I climbed Druim Shionnach [Sep Mt 158] on the south side of Glen Cluanie. My companion on the climb was Donald Hawksworth. As we rounded a craggy outcrop, Donald said 'What does this name 'Druim Shionnach' mean?' I replied that it meant 'the foxes' ridge,' and hardly had the words been uttered when we came face to face with a fox! We stared at it and it gazed at us. The highland foxes aren't red like their lowland cousins. They are light brown in colour and somewhat larger. This one was certainly a large, long-limbed specimen, and we observed it closely from a distance of 6 feet for what seemed a long time but was in reality only seconds. Suddenly the spell broke and it streaked away uphill soon to be lost from sight. Certainly Druim Shionnach had proved itself worthy of its name! And yet, should we have felt surprise at seeing a fox on that mountain? After all the Gaels must have had good reason for choosing the name they did. This incident set me thinking about animals which have loaned their names to mountains. Some of the animals have become extinct. It is at least a thousand years since the elk, the largest of the deer family, roamed through the Highlands. Nevertheless one of our Perthshire Munros is named after this animal. I refer to Beinn Oss [Sep Mt 99]. The wild boar has also vanished from these shores but is still remembered in such mountains as Càrn an Tuirc [Sep Mt 109], the Boar's Cairn.

Please find an extract from the ES below detailing the ADD units which are proposed to be used in the first instance. Figure 5.5.2p shows an initial plan of ADD deployment that is recommended by the supplier. However, as stated in the ES, this number and configuration could be subject to change depending on the nature of the seal activity. Appendix 5.5b the statement “Terecos ADD (2 transducer units) to be used in the first instance” is a transcription error and should not be in the document – we can resubmit the document amended without that line.

  • Landscape Developemnt of Gtneiss Terrains Under Pleistocene Ice Sheets
    Krabbendam & Bradwell – Quaternary evolution of glaciated gneiss terrains Quaternary evolution of glaciated gneiss terrains: pre-glacial weathering vs. glacial erosion Maarten Krabbendam* , Tom Bradwell British Geological Survey, Murchison House, Edinburgh EH6 3LA,United Kingdom (* Corresponding author. Tel ++44 131 6500256. Email address: [email protected]) Abstract Vast areas previously covered by Pleistocene ice sheets consist of rugged bedrock-dominated terrain of innumerable knolls and lake-filled rock basins – the ‘cnoc-and-lochan’ landscape or ‘landscape of areal scour’. These landscapes typically form on gneissose or granitic lithologies and are interpreted (1) either to be the result of strong and widespread glacial erosion over numerous glacial cycles; or (2) formed by stripping of a saprolitic weathering mantle from an older, deeply weathered landscape. We analyse bedrock structure, erosional landforms and weathering remnants and within the ‘cnoc-and- lochan’ gneiss terrain of a rough peneplain in NW Scotland and compare this with a geomorphologically similar gneiss terrain in a non-glacial, arid setting (Namaqualand, South Africa). We find that the topography of the gneiss landscapes in NW Scotland and Namaqualand closely follows the old bedrock—saprolite contact (weathering front). The roughness of the weathering front is caused by deep fracture zones providing a highly irregular surface area for weathering to proceed. The weathering front represents a significant change in bedrock physical properties. Glacial erosion (and

COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary North-west Scotland subtidal seagrass bed survey 2004 Commissioned Report No. 076 (ROAME No. F04LB05) Contractor: Ben James, Maris Ecologists Background Maris Ecologists were contracted by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) to participate in and subsequently report on a survey of nearshore marine habitats on the north-west coast of Scotland between Greenstone Point in Gruinard Bay and Sheigra at Kinlochbervie. The primary aim of the survey work was to map the distribution, size and extent of Zostera marina seagrass beds in the West Sutherland and North West Ross areas. The study was commissioned to determine the scale of potential ‘under-recording’ of the seagrass resource in the SNH North Highland area, to subsequently inform local implementation of the UK ‘Seagrass Beds’ priority Habitat Action Plan (HAP) and to support the continued delivery of SNH’s statutory marine nature conservation advice.

CALDERWOOD, F.R.S.E. AUTHOR OF " THE LIFE OF THE SALMON," ETC. SECOND EDITION, REVISED ILLUSTRATED WW Wi ^if I' LONDON EDWARD ARNOLD & CO. 1921 [All rights reserved] PREFACE In preparing a second edition of this book, I have endea- voured to embody an account of such altered conditions as have come into being since 1909, when the book first appeared. It happens that, especially in the north of Scotland, many rivers have changed hands, for the War has had its influence upon even the peaceful sport of salmon fishing. Some of the changes have not materially altered matters or caused any modification in the fishings ; and this is especially the case where tenants of long standing have now become proprietors. But in other instances an entirely new order of things has transpired. The rivers indeed flow on as before, but the anglers, aye and the ghillies one used to know upon the banks, the men who loved these scenes as all true Scotsmen love the land of their fathers, now lie in France or Gallipoli, or in even more distant graves. The records of catches in recent years have not always been easy to obtain, yet have been secured as far as possible. I desire here to thank all those who have so kindly assisted me in this way.
