The maintenance activities are broken down into ‘scheme’ and ‘cyclic maintenance’. ‘Scheme’ represents those works that will be required over the next 5 years, whilst ‘cyclic maintenance’ represents those works which may be required over the same timeframe. Inspections will also be carried out to identify the degree of maintenance activity required. Following review of detailed bathymetric data obtained in August 2018, BEAR Scotland now anticipate that scour repairs at Kessock Bridge are unlikely to be required within the next 5 five years; hence, this activity is considered cyclic maintenance. The activities encompass the following: Schemes • Fender replacement; • Superstructure painting and • Cable stay painting. Cyclic maintenance • Scour repairs; • Drainage cleaning; • Bird guano removal; • Structural bolt and weld renewal; • Mass damper re-tuning; • Pendel bearing inspection; • Cleaning and pressure washing superstructure • Cable stay re-tensioning; • Minor bridge maintenance.

  • Remembering Knockbain Parish Heritage
    Remembering Knockbain Parish Heritage In 2014 people met to explore the heritage of Knockbain Parish on the Black Isle through courses, fieldtrips and sharing memories. In a short period of time, a great deal of information was collected about places in this often overlooked area of the Black Isle. The information in this document was collected during indoor sessions drawing on old maps and photographs, during walks to Munlochy, Kilmuir, Easter Suddie and Belmaduthy, and on visits to Highland Archives and Groam House Museum. Many of the sites are long forgotten, and some are deteriorating. The information has also been submitted to the Highland Council Historical Environment Record (the HER; her.highland.gov.uk), the database of all known heritage in the Highlands, and will lead to the creation of 70 new records. Later it will be submitted to Canmore, the Scottish database of heritage (canmore.rcahms.gov.uk). The group has also produced a walking leaflet for Munlochy Village, available locally. There is still more to learn, and further research and sessions to collect memories would expand this picture. The project was organised by Knockbain Community Council with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Highland Council. Courses and fieldtrips were led by Susan Kruse of ARCH (Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands). We would also like to thank the Highland Archives, Groam House Museum and the Taylor family. But most of all, thanks to the many people who contributed information, either during the sessions or even as we were passing their houses. Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands (ARCH) is a registered Scottish Charity, No.

In the quality audit, the Clachnaharry Road section was found to be good to reasonable quality and the Telford Street section to be poor quality. Parts of the route corridor are covered by the Muirtown and South Kessock development brief and it is included here to complement and build on the emerging proposals in that brief. Issues ● Key approach to the city from the west. Clachnaharry Zone ● Generally attractive between Clachnaharry and the Muirtown swing bridge, although some missed opportunities such as the canal being generally hidden from view ● Passes primarily through residential areas with a pocket of ‘tired’ retail Residential / Muirtown Basin Zone development. ● Inconsistent building lines and façade treatments. ● Inconsistent edge treatments ● Urban form lost at Carsegate Road roundabout, and ● Poor and unmanaged ‘amenity’ landscaping in relation to retail units. Constraints ● Heavy traffic flows especially at peak hours. Canal / Retail / Residential Zone ● Numerous existing junctions and traffic signals including signalled pedestrian crossings. Opportunities ● The Muirtown and South Kessock Development Brief, which overlaps with much of the route corridor north Figure 11: Main Streets (residential and mixed use) - A862 61 Approaching Inverness - A Strategy and Design Guide ACTIVE INTERVENTIONS A862: Clachnaharry Zone Existing attributes ● Attractive village character with Existing tree coverage predominantly stone cottages closely abutting the footway or Existing and/or narrowly set back.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.

  • Lilac Cottage Brochure
    Lilac Cottage Lilac Cottage, Kilmuir Sleeps up to 4 persons Available from £675 per week By the sea Pet-Free Has a real fireplace WiFi available Details Lilac Cottage has received rave reviews from everyone who has stayed. Check out the visitor comments for this exquisite cottage on the shores of the Moray Firth. A 4 star award well earned. This self-catering Black Isle cottage has an enviable location in the peaceful waterside hamlet of Kilmuir. Far removed from the main roads, peace and tranquility are assured - yet you can be in the bustling Highland capital of Inverness in 10 minutes. The airport is just 20 minutes away. Kilmuir lies in the southern part of the Black Isle. The village is not far from Inverness, but it is fairly secluded as it is placed at the end of a narrow single track road. It lies on the northern shore of the Moray Firth and east of the Kessock Bridge, below Ord Hill, at the top of which lies an ancient fort. There are excellent walks to the top of Ord Hill which gives panoramic views west down the Great Glen, south to the Cairngorms and east out towards the North Sea. The resident Moray Firth dolphins travel up the stretch of water in front of the cottage as they pass through to feeding grounds in the Beauly Firth. Further east on the Black Isle is the famous Chanonry Point viewing point where the best and closest views of the dolphins are achieved. The local community owns woodland behind the village and on the slopes of Ord Hill.
