  • The Best of Walking in Scotland
    1 The Best of Walking in Scotland Scotland is a land of contrasts—an ancient country with a modern outlook, where well-loved traditions mingle with the latest technology. Here you can tread on some of the oldest rocks in the world and wander among standing stones and chambered cairns erected 5,000 years ago. However, that little cottage you pass may have a high-speed Internet connection and be home to a jewelry designer or an architect of eco-friendly houses. Certainly, you’ll encounter all the shortbread and tartan you expect, though kilts are normally reserved for weddings and football matches. But far more traditional, although less obviously so, is the warm welcome you’ll receive from the locals. The farther you go from the big cities, the more time people have to talk—you’ll find they have a genuine interest in where you come from and what you do. Scotland’s greatest asset is its clean, green landscapes, where walkers can fill their lungs with pure, fresh air. It may only be a wee (small) country, but it has a variety of walks to rival anywhere in the world. As well as the splendid mountain hikes to be found in the Highlands, there’s an equal extent of Lowland terrain with gentle riverside walks and woodland strolls. The indented coastline and numerous islands mean that there are thousands of miles of shore to explore, while the many low hills offer exquisite views over the countryside. There’s walking to suit all ages and tastes. Some glorious countryside with rolling farmland, lush woods, and grassy hills can be reached within an hour’s drive of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

December was a particularly stormy month with regularly occurring, very strong winds, blizzard conditions and cold temperatures; cold temperatures in particular present conditions which maintain buried weaknesses for long periods of time. Consequently a number of triggered avalanches were reported during this period, Northern Cairngorms, Ben Nevis, Glencoe and Ben More Assynt provided one incident each, with all parties unharmed.

DATE CALLED-IN: 11TH MARCH 2005 Fig. 1 - Location Plan C:\Documents and Settings\Mark\My Documents\Sabato\CNPA\Paper 3 Upper Glen Derry.doc 1 Cairngorms National Park Authority Paper 3, 20 May 2005 SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSAL 1. The proposal is for the temporary siting of a group of 3 accommodation units that will be used to house a work party employed to carry out footpath repair work at Glen Derry (Lairig an Laoigh), in the valley bottom close to the Derry Burn, between Derry Cairngorm and Craig Derry. This is part of a continuing programme of work on Mar Lodge Estate. The system of temporary accommodation units has been used during the carrying out of similar footpath repair works on the estate over the past four years, with locations including Loch Etchachan, Sron Riach and on the Lairig Ghru. The units are to be located close to a fork in the path, with the westward path leading to Loch Etchachan and the other section of the path continuing north between Creag Mhor and Bynack More before its north western descent towards Glenmore Forest. The proposed site is located within relatively close proximity to the area in which path repair works are to be undertaken (on the aforementioned northern path).

One such market, which has been identified, is the organic black currant market in Japan. The interest in organic black currants has grown over the past decade in Japan due to the health benefits of the fruit. While black currents have been grown in smaller clusters in PEI, organic black currants have never been grown commercially in PEI and as a result there is a need for a production manual so that growers will have up to date and uniform production and harvesting information.

  • A Rough Ride from John Fleetwood
    A Rough Ride from John Fleetwood The Scottish midge is living proof that a very small being can make a real difference to a much bigger body. In the absence of midges this is a comforting thought to those of us that feel too insignificant to make a difference, but in a still, pre-dawn, it is an irritating fact that curtails breakfast. I had driven up the previous evening to spend a few hours curled up in the back of the car, before braving the Scottish scourge to set forth upon my day’s venture. At 3.45 am. the hillside above the Quoich Dam looms menacingly, and the steep black folds of the hill reveal knee deep grasses and waist deep bracken. I tell myself that the day will get better, but it is a truly brutal start – a veritable vertical jungle of rocks, bracken, thick grasses and bog. I pull myself up by the fronds of foliage and slowly, oh so slowly, move up the slope to better ground above. As night turns to day, the angle eases and the first summit appears. I am embarked upon a long journey in the rough bounds of Knoydart and the dim light of a grey dawn gently reveals the hills before me. I pick up a track on the ridge, but am surprised by its faintness given the relative accessibility of the hills, and the stalkers’ track on the descent is no more than a shallow indentation in the grass.
