  • Consultation of Proposals for Overprovision Statement 2013-16
    The Highland Licensing Board Agenda 4 Item Meeting – 27 August 2013 Report HLB/107/13 No Consultation on Proposals for Overprovision Statement 2013-16 Report by the Clerk to the Board Summary Following receipt of the evidence and recommendations submitted by NHS Highland attached at Appendix 1 and a further assessment of crime statistics submitted by Police Scotland attached at Appendix 2, the Board is invited to agree options in relation to proposals for an Overprovision Statement on which to consult statutory consultees and the public and to agree an appropriate consultation period. 1. Background 1.1 On 7 August 2013, the Board agreed proposals for the process of developing a statement under section 7 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (the “Act) as to the extent to which the Board considers there to be overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises of a particular description, in any locality within the Board’s area. This process involved first ingathering evidence, where available, in relation to all of the five licensing objectives, with the assistance, in particular, of NHS Highland and Northern Constabulary – now part of Police Scotland. 1.2 The ingathering and analysis of evidence has taken longer than was initially anticipated and has not been an easy task. This is particularly because of the differences in the way in which data on alcohol-related harm is and has been collected by the various agencies in Highland, some being collected at intermediate geography/data zone level but some being collected at multimember ward level or, in the case of crime statistics, at police area level or police beat level.

  • Destination Management in Wester Ross Baseline Reports Consultation Exercise Winter, 2019/20
    Destination Management in Wester Ross Baseline Reports Consultation Exercise Winter, 2019/20 Context Upwards of an estimated c.100,000450,000 tourists visit Wester Ross every year, sustaining local communities through their input to the local economy. However, in the current climate we know that there are concerns that a rise in tourism over the past few years coupled with difficulties in infrastructure investment may not be sustainable. We have to accept that mass tourism is not going away, but we don’t have to accept that tourism management in Wester Ross continues to be reactive; instead of proactive. Together we can change that. Instigated by the Wester Ross Biosphere, (a community managed UNESCO designation that exists to connect people and nature to inspire a positive future), a steering group was formed of Public Sector representatives, ourselves and Visit Wester Ross with the intention of developing a community-led Destination Management Plan (DMP). We believe that by working together, across public sector, community and industry we can make small changes so that a culture of managing and planning for tourism development can be fostered. Wester Ross can be a great place to visit and a great place to live. DMPs are as dull as they are exciting. They consider all aspects of the Visitor Experience, from ensuring everyone has access to basic facilities and infrastructure to planning what exciting activities to get up to on holiday. The process is being led by Wester Ross Biosphere with staff resources from an EU Northern Periphery and Arctic Program project called SHAPE (Sustainable Heritage Area, Partnerships for ecotourism).

  • Prehistoric Round House Structures in Wester Ross, and in Selected Areas of Skye
    Prehistoric Round House Structures in Wester Ross, and in Selected Areas of Skye Collation and Analysis of Detailed Data with regard to distribution, construction and landscape settings Anna Welti Undergraduate Dissertation University of Aberdeen Dept of Scottish Cultural Studies and Archaeology 2011 This research is dedicated to my father A.G. MacGregor, MC,DSc, FRSE Abstract The aim of this study was to understand the reasons behind the siting and structure of roundhouses in Wester Ross. Some existing records are detailed and some are very brief: inter‐ site comparisons cannot easily be made. The project was designed as a field survey to record roundhouses and their settings in detail. A database would be produced for future researchers. Sketches and photographs were to be included in the record, which was to be formatted in a manner acceptable to Highland Council HER and RCAHMS Canmore. Roundhouse sites proved more numerous than records had suggested, hence the areas in the study were limited to four; Achiltibuie, Gairloch & Poolewe, Badachro, and selected parts of Skye. The sites in other areas of Wester Ross, Lochalsh and part of Skye have been recorded to the same standard and will later be included in the database. The current database includes 234 roundhouse sites and around 100 fields. It was tested with a variety of queries. These produced some informative results about structure, entrance orientations, site locations, enclosures and field systems. Individual clusters of roundhouses were studied to examine whether site differences could indicate chronological depth. These results, together with information from site plots on both Ordnance and Geological maps, as well as from aerial photographs, have given interesting insights into roundhouses and their locations.
