INTRODUCTION: A1.1 The Morvern Deer Management Group area includes in effect all that land to the south of Glen Tarbert (and the A861) and Loch Sunart; bounded to the east by Loch Linnhe and to the south by the Sound of Mull. It divides in effect into two discrete areas to the west, and to the east of the chain of lochs of Loch Teacuis, Loch Doire nam Mart, Loch Arienas and Loch Aline. The entire Management area (excluding towns and villages) extends to some 47000 hectares (11000 ha in the west; 36000 hectare to the east). The area includes land in some 12 main ownerships as well as land owned and managed by Forestry Commission Scotland. Deer Management and associated activities of individual landholdings are coordinated through discussion within the Morvern Deer Management Group [MDMG], which meets formally twice a year (although other meetings may be called as required and much business is transacted via email). All member Estates atempt to have a representative present at all meetings; meetings are also attended by representatives from the Forestry Commission, SNH regional and wildlife staff and local community interest groups by invitation. The Group’s constitution is appended to this Plan. A1.2 The Deer Management Plan adopted by the MDMG in 2007 has recently expired. Following assessment of Group activities and matters addressed within the Group Plan in collaboration with SNH, MDMG has determined to update and revise the former Plan and at the same time bring it into line with the Benchmark for Deer Plans. MDMG endorses the Government’s Code of Practice on Deer Management and the ADMG’s Principles of Collaboration in relation to Deer Management. A1.3 After extensive consultation this Plan is presented as an agreed Deer Management Plan for a five year period from 2015-2020. The Plan has been prepared to integrate individual Estate Management Plans, and Long-Term Forest Plans with Group-level commitments and to ensure delivery of both private and public interest. A1.4 In any Management Area it is impossible to find a period of absolute stasis with all future factors influencing management decisions fully resolved. Indeed in the period of the previous Plan there have been a number of changes of land-ownership and/or objective. This Plan therefore is inevitably prepared against a background context with some remaining ‘unknowns’ and should not be seen as set in stone. Rather the Plan is seen as indicative, and must allow room for flexibility as circumstances may change. A1.5 In any event, management for the future is not a precise science. Active management must be accompanied by close monitoring of the condition of deer populations and habitats in order to assess whether management decisions taken are indeed delivering objectives sought. Where such monitoring suggests that objectives are not being delivered as expected, some minor adjustments to proposed policies and action plans may be necessary to meet desired targets. A1.6 Annual review of progress and approval of any minor changes in policy in the light of altered circumstances, or in response to results of ongoing monitoring programmes will be made at each Annual General meeting of the Management Group. After this time, the Plan will undergo full review with an update for the following 5 year period. A1.7 In development of the actual Management Plan which follows, the Group employed Professor R.J.Putman to collate information on deer populations and habitat condition, to assist in establishing clear definition of objectives as well as help focus discussion on future possible management options within individual Estates or the wider Management Group Area. Information was sought from all estates and from MDMG records on deer counts for the different estates or other land-holdings over the period since the last Morvern Group Plan, recorded calf-hind ratios and cull data. 5 A1.8 Detailed consultations were undertaken with individual landowners, or their managing agents, as well as all stalkers to establish i) current deer numbers and distribution on their own estates; movement patterns within Estates and between adjacent properties; past and present management policy and procedures; ii) current patterns of land use, plans and expectations for the future, as well as exploring aims and objectives of management for their deer for the future. A1.9 Additional consultation was carried out with other interest groups such as Scottish Natural Heritage and Forestry Commission for Scotland to establish their interests and aspirations for future management of the area. A1.10 Finally, independent assessments were also undertaken of the condition of the deer herds and the condition of the habitat during a series of visits to all the estates by RP between August and December 2014. A2. The Morvern Deer Management Area: A2.1 The Morvern Deer Management area [Map 1] includes all that land to the south of Glen Tarbert (and the A861) and Loch Sunart; bounded to the east by Loch Linnhe and to the south by the Sound of Mull. It divides in effect into two discrete areas to the west, and to the east of the chain of lochs of Loch Teacuis, Loch Doire nam Mart, Loch Arienas and Loch Aline. There is relatively little exchange between the two sub-areas; the division is more emphatic since the western shores of these lochs are entirely covered, from Carna to Lochaline and beyond, by the Forestry Plantations of Barr and Savary, whose boundaries have in the past been securely fenced. Although there may be some small exchange between Rahoy and Drumbuidhe in the north, such exchange is itself limited by the deer fence of Drimnin Estate’s Woodland Restoration scheme at Sornaghan. A2.2 The entire Management area extends to some 47000 hectares (11000 ha in the west; 36000 hectare to the east) and includes the Glencripesdale Reserve (owned and managed by Scottish Natural Heritage), the Rahoy Hills Nature Reserve (part-owned by the Scottish Wildlife Trust and part-owned by Ardtornish Estate), properties owned and administered by the Forestry Commission for Scotland (Barr, Savary, Fiunary and Mungasdail Forests) as well as 12 Estates currently in private ownership. A2.3 The whole of the open water of Loch Sunart, and its fringing native woodlands, fall within the Sunart Special Area of Conservation (SAC) while the shoreline woodlands of the Sound of Mull and Loch Linnhe, as well as areas along Loch Arienas and up the Black Glen fall within the Morvern Woods SAC. A further SAC protects the upland basalt areas of Beinn Iadain and Beinn na h’Uamha; with the exception of the Uladail Woods within the Morvern Woodland SAC, all these areas are also designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI: A3.1, A3.2). Geology: A2.4 The geology of the area is relatively complex for the size of the area as a whole. The principal rock types underlying the north of the area (on the shores of Loch Sunart itself) are metamorphic rocks of the Moine series: an assemblage of sedimentary rocks (mainly quartz- feldspar-granulite, or sandstone and mudstone schists) laid down in shallow waters over a basement of Lewisian gneiss.

  • 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.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

  • Notes on the Hawkweeds (Hieracium Sensu Lato) of Western Scotland
    Watsonia, 8, 97-120 (1970). 97 Notes on the Hawkweeds (Hieracium sensu lato) of western Scotland A. G. KENNETH and A. McG. STIRLING Stronachullin, Ardrishaig, Argyll; 17 Austen Road, Jordanhill, Glasgow W3 ABSTRACT The distribution of species of Hieracium sensu stricto and the subspecies ofPilosella officinarum C. H. & F. W. Schultz in west and north-west Scotland is indicated for those areas and taxa of which the authors have personal knowledge. Corrections are included for the Distribution Maps of certain species as shown in the Critical Supplement. Ecological information is given for the species of Hieracium and their distribution is discussed in relation to the areas visited within each vice-county. A key to the genus Pilosella and an Index of Place Names are given as Appendices. INTRODUCTION Our knowledge of the distribution of the genus Hieracium in Scotland owes much to the explorations of certain English botanists in the period between 1850 and 1918. Notable among these were J. Backhouse Jnr, E. F. and W. R. Linton, Henry Groves, F. J. Hanbury, E. S. Marshall, W. A. Shoolbred and G. C. Druce, all of whom collected in the central and north western Highlands. After the first world war little attention was paid to this genus by British field botanists, due mainly to a lack of taxonomists competent to undertake determination of specimens. It was not until the commencement of the B.S.B.1. Distribution Maps Scheme in 1954 that they were encouraged by the intensive taxonomic study of the genus being undertaken by P. D. Sell and Dr C.
