    PROPOSED REPORT BY THE STANDARDS COMMISSIONER ON THE COMPLAINT AGAINST COUNCILLOR MICHAEL BRESLIN (LA/AB/1758/JM) Witness Statement by Dr C M Mason, MBE Appendix 4 The Actual Reality Trust Ardentinny Outdoor Education Centre Argyll Please reply to: 1/1 Barcapel Avenue Newton Mearns G77 6QJ Telephone 0141 384 7979 Mobile 0781 585 1775 email: [email protected] 30 November 2013 Mrs Sally Loudon Chief Executive Argyll and Bute Council by email Dear Mrs. Loudon Audit Scotland and Castle Toward - clarification As you know, Mr. McKinlay copied me into the email he sent you yesterday afternoon. I do not think there can be any doubt that Mr. McKinlay has now very clearly put on record three important facts: 1. The scope of Audit Scotland’s work on Actual Reality and Castle Toward was limited to the sales of Castle Toward and Ardentinny; and it was only the results of that work which were given in the annual audit report to elected members and to the Controller of Audit. 2. You have known about this limitation all along because the scope of Audit Scotland’s work was agreed in an exchange of letters between you and Fiona Mitchell-Knight in February this year. 3. Audit Scotland accordingly did not carry out any detailed audit work on the allegations that we have made about the closure of Castle Toward in 2009 and they are “therefore not in a position to comment on the substance or otherwise of them”. My purpose in writing to you now is to ask you to account for the claims made in the name of the Council, that Audit Scotland have supported, confirmed, or validated Council officers’ position that our allegations about the events of 2009 have no substance.

    22_578626 ch15.qxd 3/14/05 10:03 AM Page 283 Chapter 15 Ayrshire and Argyll In This Chapter ᮣ Getting to Ayrshire and Argyll ᮣ Seeking out the best places to stay and eat ᮣ Discovering the Burns Heritage Trail, Culzean Castle, the Isle of Arran, and more ᮣ Hittin’ the links in Troon and Turnberry ᮣ Shopping for local goodies and finding the best pubs he region of Ayshire stretches from the southern and western Tfringes of Glasgow south to southwest along the Firth of Clyde. Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter.

    FRIENDS OF BOTANIC GARDENS FORUM NEWSLETTER EDITION 4 1 Dear Friends, The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. (Chinese proverb) Well, here at last the 4th issue of the Friends of Botanic Gardens Forum. I have to first of all apologise for the delay in getting this out to you – but I suspect you are all doing as I have been doing these past few months – catching up with friends, family, holidays, your own gardens, considering future events – live or virtual over the forthcoming autumn/winter months and perhaps getting back to volunteering in the gardens/arboreta with whom you are associated. Next up I want to thank you all for your contributions – I have found it so interesting reading about the gardens and the activities of your groups and volunteers. The descriptions are tantalising and I look forward to visiting all of your spaces at some point in the not too distant future. You will note that a number of the gardens are celebrating significant anniversaries. We have already heard about the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh - 350 last year, and this year, Oxford Botanic Garden – 400, but we also have Dundee Botanic Garden celebrating 50 years. The project which the Friends at Dundee have supported will be a great asset to the garden and the Dundee community. It has been difficult to mark these occasions given the variable Covid restrictions. Any of you who have visited Edinburgh in the past might have seen the Floral Clock in Princes Street Gardens – last year, the RBGE was due to feature on the clock, but a decision was made to focus on the NHS in recognition of its extraordinary work during the Pandemic.

  • Biodiversity Duty Report 2015-2017
    Biodiversity Duty Report 2015-2017 Preamble Under the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act (2004), every public body in Scotland is required to further the conservation of biodiver- sity when carrying out its responsibilities. The Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act (2011) further requires all Scottish pub- lic bodies to provide, every three years, a publicly available report on the actions they have taken to meet the Scottish Biodiversity Duty. Biodiversity is at the heart of the work of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE). Our web page (http://www.rbge.org.uk/), our annual reports and submissions to the Scottish Biodiversity Strate- gy, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation are the primary source of details on our biodiversity science, conservation, horticulture, education and public engagement activities. This report provides an overview of these activities in the period 2015-2017. It also summarises the steps we have taken towards environmentally sustainable management for biodiversity on our own estates.

  • Loch 'N' Glen News Autumn2020 Finalv2
    Loch ‘n’ Glen News Autumn/Winter 2020 Autumn/Winter 2020 Welcome to the Autumn/Winter Loch ‘n’ Glen News Issue 34 Dear Readers, A different kind of Loch n Glen News for a different kind of world. Usually, of course, the newsletter is full of information about the activities of the many clubs and groups that meet in this area, news from the halls and plans for the future. Since March, none of our clubs and groups have been able to meet, though one or two have moved on- line. So this issue starts with information about COVID-19, followed by a quick round-up of notes from our usual contributors, but much of it is looking forward to how we can help shape a “new normal” that celebrates the best of human nature, instead of continually pandering to the worst. As my husband and I have remarked frequently to each other, there are a lot worse places to be locked down. The landscape remains as beautiful as ever, particularly in that wonderful weather we enjoyed in Spring and early Summer. Most of us have been able to get out for a walk, or a run, or just to enjoy our gardens. Many of us have been able to have a socially distanced chat with friends and neighbours. Our local food suppliers and community support groups have come good, and kept us well provided for, despite the occasional shortages. But the isolation, the fears, and the uncertainty over what the future holds is there nonetheless underlying everything. I don’t know about you, but it feels to me as if the ground has shifted under my feet.
