  • Supplementary Written Submission from Community Land Scotland
    Local Government and Communities Committee Planning (Scotland) Bill Supplementary Written Submission from Community Land Scotland Dear Jane, I’m writing on behalf of Community Land Scotland to thank the Committee for the opportunity to participate in the Planning (Scotland) Bill evidence session at its meeting on February 28th and to provide further information in that regard. The Policy Memorandum for the Planning (Scotland) Bill articulates an ambition to shift planning from reacting to development proposals to proactively supporting investment and quality place-making. As discussed in our evidence session, that requires some vision as to the purpose of the planning system as a mechanism for contributing to the sustainable development of both urban and rural Scotland. Community Land Scotland views the Bill as an important legislative opportunity for Planning Policy to contribute to the renewal of rural Scotland in particular by incorporating our proposals regarding repopulation and resettlement of land. Specifically by: Placing a duty on Scottish Ministers to have regard to the desirability of the repopulation and resettlement of rural Scotland; Giving Ministers powers to designate land for the purposes of its resettlement; Giving Ministers and others (local authorities) powers to purchase land for the purpose of its resettlement; including compulsory purchase powers; Requiring Ministers to produce or cause to produce a map of ‘no longer existing communities’ to which they may have regard in preparing future policy; Requiring Ministers

  • Anke-Beate Stahl
    Anke-Beate Stahl Norse in the Place-nam.es of Barra The Barra group lies off the west coast of Scotland and forms the southernmost extremity of the Outer Hebrides. The islands between Barra Head and the Sound of Barra, hereafter referred to as the Barra group, cover an area approximately 32 km in length and 23 km in width. In addition to Barra and Vatersay, nowadays the only inhabited islands of the group, there stretches to the south a further seven islands, the largest of which are Sandray, Pabbay, Mingulay and Bemeray. A number of islands of differing sizes are scattered to the north-east of Barra, and the number of skerries and rocks varies with the tidal level. Barra's physical appearance is dominated by a chain of hills which cuts through the island from north-east to south-west, with the peaks of Heaval, Hartaval and An Sgala Mor all rising above 330 m. These mountains separate the rocky and indented east coast from the machair plains of the west. The chain of hills is continued in the islands south of Barra. Due to strong winter and spring gales the shore is subject to marine erosion, resulting in a ragged coastline with narrow inlets, caves and natural arches. Archaeological finds suggest that farming was established on Barra by 3000 BC, but as there is no linguistic evidence of a pre-Norse place names stratum the Norse immigration during the ninth century provides the earliest onomastic evidence. The Celtic cross-slab of Kilbar with its Norse ornaments and inscription is the first traceable source of any language spoken on Barra: IEptir porgerdu Steinars dottur es kross sja reistr', IAfter Porgero, Steinar's daughter, is this cross erected'(Close­ Brooks and Stevenson 1982:43).

  • 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. Water Safety Policy in Scotland— A Guide 3 Section A: The Problem Table 1: Overall Fatalities 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 Data from National Water Safety Forum, WAID database, July 14 In recent years the number of drownings in Scotland has remained generally constant.

EADAR CANAAN IS GARRABOST (BETWEEN CANAAN AND GARRABOST): RELIGION IN DERICK THOMSON’S LEWIS POETRY Petra Johana Poncarová Since the Scottish Reformation of the sixteenth-century, the Protestant, Calvinist forms of Christianity have affected Scottish life and have become, in some attitudes, one of the “marks of Scottishness,” a “means of interpreting cultural and social realities in Scotland.”1 However treacherous and limiting such an assertion of Calvinism as an essential component of Scottish national character may be, the experience with radical Presbyterian Christianity has undoubtedly been one of the important features of life in the

  • 1. Barra Airport (United Kingdom)
    1. Barra Airport (United Kingdom) Barra Airport is the airport serving the Scottish island of Barra. This airport has three unusual runways that are all located on the beach. This means airplanes can only land at low tide, at high tide aircraft can’t land or take off. The airport can only be used by smaller aircrafts. Barra Airport is one of two airports worldwide with a runway on the beach. Another unusual feature is the landing procedure at night; cars parked at the airport use their lights to illuminate the runway. 2. Corfu Airport (Greece) Corfu Airport is a small airport located on the Greek island of Corfu (or Kerkyra). The airport only has one but rather unusal runway, which is largely located in the sea. There is a dam at the southern end of the runway, where the pilots need to fly over at low altitude. The runway of Corfu Airport is made of asphalt and has a length of 2.373 metres. For plane spotters, it is a special place to spot aircrafts. 3. Courchevel Airport (France) Courchevel Airport is located in the French Alps, and only has one runway. It is one of the shortest in the world with a length of 525 metres. Due to its impractical location at an altitude of 2000 metres in the mountains, half the unusual runway has a gradient of 18.5%. As a result, take-offs can only be made downhill and landings uphill, making a touch and go landing impossible. Only specially trained pilots are allowed to fly to this destination.
