  • 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.

  • Talking About Heritage
    Talking about heritage Draft guidance for consultation September 2020 1 Introduction Heritage is everywhere and it means different things to different people. This guide is all about exploring and talking about heritage, so we’ve included some of the things that people have said to us when we’ve asked them, ‘What’s your heritage?’ Heritage to me is everything in Scotland’s history. It’s not just buildings but everything that’s passed down like songs, stories, myths. Perthshire ‘What’s Your Heritage’ workshop. Your heritage might be the physical places that you know and love – your favourite music venue, your local park, a ruined castle you’ve explored, or the landscapes you picture when you think of home. Your heritage could also be your working life, the stories you were told as a child, the language you speak with your family, the music or traditions you remember from an important time in your life. Heritage can inspire different emotions, both positive and negative. It can be special to people for lots of different reasons. Here are a few: • It’s beautiful. • It’s what I think of when I picture home. • It’s part of who I am • I can feel the spirits, my history. • It’s where I walk my dog. • It’s an amazing insight into my past. • It’s my home town and it reminds me of my family. Heritage can help to us to feel connected. It might be to a community, a place, or a shared past. It reflects different viewpoints across cultures and generations and is key to local distinctiveness and identity.

  • Boomerang's 2008 Log Norway the Shetland Islands St Kilda
    Boomerang’s 2008 Log Norway The Shetland Islands St Kilda 2 April & May South Queensferry to Bergen Hardanger Fjord, Bomlo & Stord Selbjornsfjord to Lerwick Circumnavigation of The Shetland Islands Fair Isle The Orkney Islands Kirkwall to the River Tay Return to South Queensferry 2 3 The Preparations When my diagnosis of MND was confirmed in July 2007 I decided it was time to retire and start off-shore sailing. My first idea was to join the 2008 ARC and for this I needed to find a sailing companion, somebody either unemployed or able to throw off the shackles of labour for a few months. I posted adverts in local yacht clubs and subscribed to the crew-seekers website but without luck until my neighbour at Port Edgar Marina put me in touch with Mike Bowley. We first met in September and I discovered he was an experienced yachtsman, out of work, and although not available to sail south to the Canaries that October, we agreed to cross to Norway the following April. It was a long term ambition of mine to sail to Bergen and somehow I preferred this to sitting in the Caribbean sun. Boomerang is a 35ft Hustler with fin keel and skeg, built in 1971. When I bought her in 2004 I kept her on west coast to sail and make her seaworthy. This meant replacing the sea-cocks and hoses, improving the cockpit drainage, up-grading the primary fuel system and replacing switch panels and most of the wiring. To satisfy the insurers, my gas stove supply also needed modernised but as this would also involve fitting sensors and alarms, I ditched the gas stove overboard and bought a spirit Origa twin burner top stove instead.

Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.
