  • A Brief History of the Clachan Church & Burial Ground R. Angus Adamson

    A Brief History of the Clachan Church & Burial Ground R. Angus Adamson

    A Brief History of The Clachan Church & Burial Ground R. Angus Adamson B.D.Min.(Hons.) The site of the old parish mission church at Clachan has long been 'holy' ground. As the late Professor J. Kennedy Cameron of the Free Church College, Edinburgh, pointed out in his excellent work The Church In Arran: 'The name Clachan indicates that the place, before any Christian house of worship had been erected in it, was a centre of Druidic worship. The term has come down to us from the time when the early inhabitants of the island were wont to assemble there for worship of their gods. To go to the Clachan, or stones, was equivalent to going to worship.'1 Also of note in this regard, is the fact that the Clachan site is, and always has been, a wooded location, which would make it an ideal 'holy' place in pagan times, when the Druids favoured secluded wooded groves in which to practice their ancient mysteries. That the Clachan Glen continued to be a place of worship after Christianity arrived on Arran during the 6th Century C.E., through the mission of the Celtic church from Ireland, there can be little doubt.2 It was common practice for the early missionaries to adopt pagan sites and Christianize them, absorbing the old religion into the new. A short distance from the present burial ground just below the main road, which now dissects the wooded area around Clachan, are said to be early Christian remains once known locally as Caibeal Eoin (John's Chapel).

Hard copies will be subject to a £50 charge. NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Development/Project Mowi Scotland Limited proposes a new Atlantic Salmon farm in Kilbrannan Sound, named North Kilbrannan, situated just north of Cour Bay and about 9 km north from the existing Carradale North farm. The proposed infrastructure is 12 pens of 120 m circumference each, arranged in a 2x6 regular grid; associated moorings to the seabed; a feed barge; and 3 ancillary single point moorings. North Kilbrannan has a SEPA Controlled Activities Regulation (CAR) Licence (CAR/L/1168182) to operate up to a biomass of 2475.54 tonnes. Benthic Environment Uneaten food and faeces are the main components of particulate waste generated at a fish farm, which may impact the benthic environment. This assessment considers the impacts of the proposed North Kilbrannan farm, arising from organic (carbon) deposition and in-feed treatment residues.
