  • 37 Foinaven - Ben Hee Wild Land Area
    Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 37 Foinaven - Ben Hee Wild Land Area 1 Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 Context This large Wild Land Area (WLA) extends 569 km2 across north west Sutherland, extending from the peatlands of Crask in the south east to the mountain of Foinaven in the north west. The northern half of the WLA mainly comprises a complex range of high mountains in addition to a peninsula of lower hills extending towards Durness. In contrast, the southern half of the WLA includes extensive peatlands and the isolated mountain of Ben Hee. One of a cluster of seven WLAs in the north west of Scotland, flanked by main (predominantly single track) roads to the north, west and south, it is relatively distant from large population centres. The geology of the area has a strong influence on its character. Along the Moine Thrust Belt that passes through the north west, rocky mountains such as Foinaven and Arkle are highly distinctive with their bright white Cambrian quartzite and scree, with little vegetation. The geological importance of this area is recognised by its inclusion within the North West Highlands Geoparki. Land within the WLA is used mainly for deer stalking and fishing and, except for a few isolated estate lodges and farms, is uninhabited. Many people view the area from outside its edge as a visual backdrop, particularly when travelling along the A838 between Lairg and Laxford Bridge and Durness, and along the A836 between Lairg and Altnaharra, through Strath More, and around Loch Eriboll. The mountains within this WLA typically draw fewer hillwalkers than some other areas, partly due to the lack of Munros.

  • SNH Core Areas of Wild Land 2013 Map Consultation Paper
    SNH Core Areas of Wild Land 2013 Map Consultation Paper Summary This consultation invites comment on the Core Areas of Wild Land 2013 map published by SNH in April 2013. Following the consultation and consideration of responses, SNH will provide advice to the Scottish Government on this topic. 1. Context and scope of consultation and how to respond 1.1. The Scottish Government recently consulted on the Main Issues Report for the National Planning Framework 3 (NPF3), and draft revised Scottish Planning Policy (SPP). These consultation documents outlined the Government’s existing approach to areas of wild land character and proposed a policy approach that refers to SNH’s Core Areas of Wild Land 2013 map. We published this map in April 2013 at the time of the Scottish Government’s consultation. 1.2. Both the Main Issues Report for NPF3 and draft SPP consultations focused on questions of policy, in particular the principle of affording protection to the core areas of wild land identified on the map. Many responses to the consultation considered this issue, and also commented on the map itself and the methodology used for its development. In light of these comments, the Scottish Government has asked SNH to provide further advice on the Core Areas of Wild Land 2013 map. This advice is to be informed by the work undertaken in recent years on mapping wild land in Scotland, an analysis of responses to the NPF3 and draft SPP consultations, and the results of this further, focused, consultation. 1.3. The purpose of this consultation is to obtain views on SNH’s map of Core Areas of Wild Land 2013 and whether it effectively identifies this key natural heritage asset.

  • 1 John Muir Trust Tower House Station Road Pitlochry PH16 5AN
    John Muir Trust Tower House Station Road Pitlochry PH16 5AN Energy Consents Unit 5 Atlantic Quay 150 Broomielaw Glasgow G2 8LU By email: [email protected] 26 August 2021 Dear Sir/Madam, Letter of objection regarding Achany Extension Wind Farm ECU00001930 Introduction 1. The John Muir Trust strongly recognises that we are in a climate emergency, that onshore wind has already had an important role in the decarbonisation of Scotland’s power sector, and that the UK requires more renewable energy to decarbonise other sectors. As a wild land conservation charity, our remit includes the protection of wild places, which we consider as having the potential to slow the rate of climate change and biodiversity loss through land management and restoration. Given this proposal is sited in a Wild Land Area, an area representing the most extensive areas of high wildness in Scotland, we are responding on wild land grounds. We are also responding on grounds of impact to nationally important peatlands. The Trust knows this area and the surrounding landscape as the land manager of nearby Quinag in the Coigach and Assynt National Scenic Area and through our involvement during the past five years in the Coigach and Assynt Living Landscape Partnership. We expect the proposed development would be visible from the Quinag mountain range, affecting views from this mountain range towards Ben More Assynt and the Reay-Cassley Wild Land Area. After having looked closely at the plans, we strongly object to what is being proposed. 2. We understand that the proposed development is on the same estate and on a site that overlaps with the site of the previously refused application for ‘Glencassley’ wind farm.

  • Objection to Sallachy Windfarm, by Loch Shin, Near Lairg
    The Granary | West Mill Street | Perth | PH1 5QP T: 01738 493 942 E: [email protected] www.mountaineering.scot By email to [email protected] Ms Claire Farmer Case Officer Planning and Building Standards The Highland Council 26 April 2021 Dear Ms Farmer Sallachy Wind Farm - Erection and Operation of a Wind Farm for a period of 30 years, comprising of 9 Wind Turbines with a maximum blade tip height of 149.9m, access tracks, temporary borrow pits and construction compound, substation, control building, and ancillary infrastructure. Land at Sallachy Estate, Lairg THC Reference: 21/01615/FUL Introduction 1. WKM Gmbh has applied to The Highland Council for consent to build a wind farm of 9 turbines of 149.9m blade-tip height towards the western end of the south shore of Loch Shin, west of Lairg. 2. The same applicant previously submitted an application in 2011 for 22 turbines of 125m BTH on a wider site straddling the ridge south of Moavally. This was refused by the Scottish Government in 2015 primarily because of impacts on wild land and the Ben More Assynt- Coigach National Scenic Area. The present application is for the easternmost section of the previously refused scheme, with a broadly similar layout but taller turbines. The applicant considers that this reduces the landscape and visual impacts to an acceptable level. 3. Mountaineering Scotland does not agree with this assessment and objects to the revised proposed development on grounds of visual impact, most notably upon mountains and wild land within the Ben More Assynt-Coigach NSA, the Reay-Cassley Wild Land Area and the Foinaven- Ben Hee WLA, with consequential potential adverse effect on mountaineering recreation and tourism.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 012, 1899
    THE CLUB AT BEN WYVIS. BY ALEXANDER COPLAND. SINCE the formation of the Club, in the Jubilee year 1887, we have had many opportunities, in our excursions, of familiarising ourselves with what may be termed the in- ternal features of the Cairngorms. Each member of that lofty" group, six in number, towering upwards of 3800 feet above sea level, has been specially visited, and their stern, wild grandeur gazed upon at close quarters and described. We have also in our excursions to Ben Rinnes, " the Buck", Bennachie, Morven, Mount Battock, Mount Keen, Lochnagar, Beinn a' Ghlo, and Ben Alder, boxed the compass from north-east to south-west around the group, obtaining distant views of the varying outlines of its members. Our summer excursion of 1898 to Ben Wyvis promised another and an important standpoint for a view from the north-west of the north-west presentment of the Cairngorms ; and from the apparent bulk of the " Mountain of Storms" as seen from them, a confident expecta- tion was formed that the barrier which bounds the view from Ben Wyvis in a south-eastern direction would main- tain its lofty eminence and extended bulk, and be in all respects a mountain horizon of magnificent proportions. Tuesday, 12th July, was fixed for the ascent of Ben Wyvis, but, as usual, when the summer excursion is arranged for a mountain at a distance requiring more than one day for its attainment, those who could spare the time Thewere glad to Cairngormavail themselves of the facilities affordeClubd by the railway companies at midsummer for spending a few days among the mountain scenery in the district to which the excursion had to be made.

  • NORTHWEST Northwest Northwest 256 © Lonelyplanet and Thedistinctive, Seeminglyinaccessiblepeakstacpollaidh
    © Lonely Planet 256 Northwest The north of Scotland, beyond a line joining Ullapool in the west and Dornoch Firth in the east, is the most sparsely populated part of the country. Sutherland is graced with a generous share of the wildest and most remote coast, mountains and glens. At first sight, the bare ‘hills’, more rock than earth, and the maze of lochs and waterways may seem alien – part of another planet – and unattractive. But the very wildness of the rockscapes, the isolation of the long, deep glens, and the magnificence of the indented coastline can exercise a seductive fascination. The outstanding significance of the area’s geology has been recognised by the designation of the North West Highlands Geopark (see the boxed text on p264 ), the first such reserve in Britain. Intrusive developments are few, and many long-established paths lead into the mountains and through the glens. This chapter focuses on a variety of walks in Sutherland’s northwest corner. Incomparably beautiful Sandwood Bay is the highlight of a superb coast walk to Cape Wrath, Scotland’s most northwesterly point. Ben Loyal, overlooking the small village of Tongue on the north coast, is an intriguing peak, topped by a cluster of granite tors. The ascent of Quinag, a striking mountain in the heart of the Assynt district, is nowhere near as difficult as it looks. By way of contrast, secretive Eas a’ Chùal Aluinn, Scotland’s highest waterfall, is reached only after a trek across wild moorland. Suggestions for other walks sustain the infinite variety that characterises Sutherland, and include the delightful Falls of Kirkaig, south of Lochinver, and the distinctive, seemingly inaccessible peak Stac Pollaidh.
