THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

ARGYLL & BUTE COUNCIL AND NHS HIGHLAND BOARD PATHWAY TO INTEGRATION 1. INTRODUCTION Argyll & Bute Council and NHS Highland Board have had preliminary discussions to initiate the development of a strategy for integration and this paper sets out an overarching framework of values and principles that, if agreed, would underpin the development of the strategy. Leaders of the Partnership : 1. Note the current reality of partnership working in Argyll & Bute. 2. Agree that significant further improvements in the experience and outcomes for services users and improvement in the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the service will not be achieved within these current arrangements. 3. Agree the values and principles that underpin service delivery. 4. Agree the values and principles of the partnership that guide the pathway and development of a strategy to integration. 5. Endorse the statement of intent. 6. Agree to remit to Officers of Argyll & Bute Council and NHS Highland (Argyll & Bute CHP) to develop a strategy for integration with the regular reporting of progress provided to Leaders of the partnership INTEGRATION Partnership working between Argyll & Bute Council and NHS Highland (Argyll & Bute CHP) has made considerable progress over recent years. This has produced significant outcomes for service users in the communities across Argyll and Bute. Joint leadership and governance arrangements have been in place for some time. However evidence of successful integration has been limited to teams where operational staff have effectively led the integration agenda, building on a history of joint working and with a clear focus on the benefits to service users of having a seamless service.

Moray Offshore Renewables Limited - Environmental Statement Telford, Stevenson and MacColl Offshore Wind Farms and Transmission Infrastructure 5 Human Environment 5.1 Commercial Fisheries 5.1 5.1.1 Introduction 5.1.1.1 This chapter summarises the baseline study of commercial fishing activities, including salmon and sea trout fisheries, in the vicinity of the three proposed development sites (Telford, Stevenson and MacColl) and the offshore transmission infrastructure (OfTI). For the purpose of this study, commercial fishing is defined as CHAPTER any legal fishing activity undertaken for declared taxable profit. 5.1.1.2 The following technical appendices support this chapter and can be found as: Technical Appendix 4.3 B (Salmon and Sea Trout Ecology Technical Report). Technical Appendix 5.1 A (Commercial Fisheries Technical Report). 5.1.1.3 For the purposes of this assessment, salmon and sea trout fisheries in the Moray Firth are separately addressed to other commercial fisheries, as a result of their being located largely in-river (with the exception of some coastal netting) and being different in nature to the majority of marine commercial fishing activities. In addition, due to the migratory behaviour of salmon and sea trout, fisheries have been assessed for all rivers flowing into the Moray Firth. It is also recognised that salmon is a qualifying feature or primary reason for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) site selection of the following rivers in the Moray Firth: Berriedale and Langwell Waters SAC (primary reason); River Moriston
