The story of the Historic Families of Ayrshire is one of «xceptional interest, as well from the personal as from the county, as here and there from the national, standpoint. As one traces it along the centuries he realises, what it is sometimes difficult to do in a general historical survey, what sort of men they were who carried on the succession of events, and obtains many a glimpse into their own character that reveals their individuality and their idiosyncracies, as well as the motives that actuated and that animated them.

  • Developing an Onshore Wind Farm on Bute – an Experiential Perspective on Policy and Planning
    Developing an onshore wind farm on Bute – an experiential perspective on policy and planning Adrian Tear Department of Geography, Buckingham Building, University of Portsmouth, PO1 3HE Partner, Ascog Farm, Ascog, Isle of Bute, PA20 9LL Email: [email protected] Abstract The purchase of Ascog Farm on the Isle of Bute, Scotland in 2008 has plunged the author and his family into an otherwise unfamiliar world of conflict surrounding onshore renewable wind energy development. Ascog Farm has high average annual wind speeds and is proximal to exisng operaonal wind farms on the mainland in North Ayrshire. Following inial, and inexpensive, invesgaons of potenal conducted in 2009 a series of increasingly detailed, and expensive, feasibility studies have been commissioned culminang in the producon of an Environmental Statement to support a planning applicaon for three mid‐sized (50m to hub, 74m to p) community benefit wind turbines lodged with Argyll and Bute Council in October 2012. Over £120,000 has been spent researching and collang the planning applicaon, which has taken around two years to produce. A significant proporon of project funding has been provided by the Scosh Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) which aims to support the development of 500MW of community and locally‐owned renewable energy generang capacity by 2020. Despite this support reacon to the project from a small but vociferous group of acvists has been negave with a variety of print and online material suggesng wind turbines may harm wildlife, ruin views, discourage tourists or cause health complaints while doing lile to combat climate change.

    ASCOG HOUSE AND MEIKLE ASCOG, ISLE OF BUTE, ARGYLL AND BUTE The history of the Ascog demesne goes back further than either of the two houses on it. In 1312 Robert the Bruce is said to have given Ascog to the Bute family of Glass. In 1594, the estate, including a mill, Loch Ascog and Nether and Over Ascog, was bought by John Stewart of Kilchattan, a distant kinsman of the Stewarts of Bute who became Earls and later Marquesses of Bute. Ascog House - John Stewart may have built the first house at Ascog, replacing an older tower. Despite the date of 1678 above one of the dormer windows, the original Ascog House was built earlier than that. With its stair tower and cap-house, it is of a type commonly built around 1600. In addition, in the wall of the present kitchen is part of a grand chimneypiece. This belonged to a great hall whose floor and ceiling were both at a higher level than today. In 1673 John Stewart of Ascog, grandson of the first John Stewart, married Margaret Cunningharn and it is their initials that are engraved on the house. They must have carried out a major reconstruction, lowering the floors to create two main storeys, and adding the dormer windows. John Stewart was rich enough to lend the Earl of Bute £9,385 to help re-build Rothesay Castle after damage in the Civil War. He was also crowner or coroner of Bute from 1666-98. During the 18th century, the original mullion windows of Ascog House were enlarged and fitted with sash and casement frames.

The yield reports prepared from this data by German equipment manufacturer Enercon for its E48 and E44 turbines (enclosed) indicate that approximately 8GWh of electricity would have been produced by the installation of three of either of these turbine models (E48=74m to tip; E44=67m to tip). This is the equivalent of the annual electricity consumption of around 2,000 households. There are around 3,500 households on Bute. An analysis of the planning policies mentioned in the Handling Report (Table 1, below) makes clear there are no ornithological, historical/architectural or technical etc. reasons why the project should not proceed. Indeed summing decisions as a ‘pass’ (+1) or ‘fail’ (‐1) for each of the policies mentioned in the Handling Report shows that there are more policies in alignment with the proposals (+3, Table 1) than against.
