Note : | When planning your trip & booking canoes or kayaks from us, please let us know your time of arrival. Our normal check in time for the collection of gear is 9 a.m. There may well be other folks arriving with us at around the same time. We really try not to keep anyone waiting – so please try to keep to your stated time of arrival to avoid inconvenience to others or you may well lose your “slot”. This also allows time for the fitting of gear and any paperwork without any rush. Snowgoose Mountain Centre John & Tina Cuthbertson January 2017 .

Preface Preface The purpose of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) investigation is to improve railway safety by preventing future railway accidents or by mitigating their consequences. It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The RAIB’s findings are based on its own evaluation of the evidence that was available at the time of the investigation and are intended to explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner.

Uniquely Scotlands Top 5 Scottish Rail Journeys
Uniquely Scotlands Top 5 Scottish Rail Journeys 1. West Highland Line (Glasgow – Mallaig) One of the most famous rail journeys in the world, the West Highland Line, is a spectacular way to embrace the West Highlands of Scotland. Beginning in Glasgow, you board the train and travel parallel with the River Clyde before heading North, passing by Loch Lomond (UK’s largest loch by surface area). You will then arrive in Crainlarich, where you can change trains and head West to Oban, passing by locations such as Ben Cruachan and Loch Awe (UK’s longest loch) before arriving in the beautiful coastal town of Oban. That’s where the line stops and after a nights’ stay, you will head back for Crainlarich for another change and to continue the journey North. This stretch of the journey will take you through Rannoch Moor, one of the last remaining wildernesses in Europe. This beautiful area is an expanse of around 50 square miles of boggy moorland which is a designated ‘Site of Special Scientific Interest’ and a ‘Special Area Of Conservation’. It was also used as a filming location for ‘Trainspotting’, ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Outlander’ which was filmed in the nearby village of Kinloch Rannoch. Once you have passed through the Moor, you make your way South to Fort William where you can marvel at the UK’s tallest mountain, Ben Nevis. The last stretch of the journey from Fort William to Mallaig can be done on ‘The Jacobite’ which is a steam locomotive. This journey is a spectacular one, you not only get spectacular scenery, but you get to cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by the Harry Potter films.

Some Newspaper Articles About Moidart Published Between 1811 and 1901
Some newspaper articles about Moidart published between 1811 and 1901 This collection is mainly made from a selection of newspaper articles available among Am Baile website articles (www.ambaile.org.uk.). We thank Am Baile for their work in making these articles available to us. Their collection consists of some articles which appeared in five Highland newspapers ̶ (The Inverness Journal, John O' Groat Journal, The Inverness Advertiser, Scottish Highlander and Inverness Courier) ̶ between 1807 and 1939 and which have some relevance to Moidart. This selection from the Am Baile collection is probably not complete. Gordon Barr. Inverness Journal, 28th June 1811. THERE IS TO BE DISPOSED OF A number of Tons of Birch Bark, well manufactured - Likewise a great quantity of BIRCH and other Black TIMBER, from 16 to 18 inches square, and downwards, excellent for Barrel-Staves, Boat- Building, House-Timber, Ploughs, Harrows, and all Farming Utensils, &c. on the lowest and reduced prices; to be delivered either at the side of Loch Morar, or at Tarbot side of Lochnevis, or at the river Morar; at which two last places there are good and safe sea harbours, and anchorage for all sizes of vessels and boats. Application to be made for the same to Mr. Allan Cameron, tacksman of Meoble, South Morar, near Arasaig; or by letter by Fort William , John MacPhie, the Bark and Wood Manufacturer, will show the same, and who likewise has power to dispose thereof. ------------------ Inverness Journal, 5th June 1812. "Died at Moidart, Simon McDonald, Esq. of Morar. This gentleman (whose death, by a fatal accident which he only survived three hours, we formerly mentioned) had just completed his 21st year; his amiable disposition and pleasing manners endeared him so much to his acquaintances that many generations have passed since a death so generally lamented by all ranks of people has happened in that part of the Highlands." ------------------ Inverness Journal, 23rd April 1813.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT 7.1 Geology 7.2 Moidart Is Situated In
!18 ! ! 7. ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT 7.1 Geology 7.2 Moidart is situated in the North-West Highlands with typically glaciated and complex landscape of ancient metamorphic and volcanic rocks and mountain summits between 2,000 and 3,000 ft (or 500 and 900 m). The district contains habitats characteristic of the Highlands of Scotland along their western Atlantic coastlands. 7.3 The distinctive character of its geological foundation is reflected in the London Science Museum’s choice of an exposed rock face at the west end of Loch Eilt (NM 790827) as one of the finest exemplars of rock formation to tell ‘The Story of the Earth’. A cast was taken of the rock face in the 1980s and an international audience in London educated on the complex geology of Moidart and Arisaig. The caption reads: ‘The Morar striped and Pelitic Schists of the Moine series demonstrate a folding and crystallising of sandstones, siltstones and mudstones deposited in a large offshore river delta c. 7-800 million years ago. These were folded and metamorphosed c. 500 million years ago during the early Caledonian mountain building episode, producing hairpin or isoclinal folds by high compression in a plastic state. This process is evidenced in microcosm, for example, by crystalline mica and index mineral in the conspicuous white quartz vein. Finally, processes of uplift and erosion c. 400 million years ago and during the last Ice Age have produced the geology and underlying landforms we see today.’ !19 ! ! 7.4 Habitat information 7.5 Moidart has nutrient-poor soil types, partly because of the hard rock base and partly because of climate.
