  • Irene Frances Jenner Xxii Coalfin, Kintyre Way in Skipness by Tarbert, Argyll, Scotland
    Irene Frances Jenner Coalfin, Kintyre Way in Skipness by Tarbert, Argyll, Scotland xxii Do Not Forget Your Loved Ones – Ne Obliviscaris Introduction Coalfin he old farmhouse has been renovated, and is now a holiday lodging, sleeping ten people. The original building is still intact but it’s been extended. At one Tend is a recreational room including a television, and at the other end is extra accommodation. Feeling rather overwhelmed but very pleased with the outcome I spent the rest of the day wandering around Tarbert, and reflecting on the life of Alexander Campbell. xxiii Irene Frances Jenner Portrait of Alexander Campbell, 1796-1870. ‘A Socialist Co-operative Pioneer’, from Glasgow Museum. His story is the basis of this book xxiv Do Not Forget Your Loved Ones – Ne Obliviscaris Chapter 1 y great, great grandfather, Alexander Campbell, (1796 – 1870) was the first of twin sons born to Mary (McConachy) and Archibald Campbell, in Mthe parish of Skipness & Saddell. Here I was, two hundred years on, standing in the very spot where my great, great grandfather, Alexander Campbell, was baptised on 12th July 1796, and had lived as a young boy! I could not quite believe how all this had fallen into place. Could I be dreaming? This story, which commenced in the old stone farm house “Coalfin” (Caolfin to the locals) high on a hill above Skipness, Scotland, is not only that of the life and times of my ancestors, the Clan Campbell, it is also the story of my own journey of discovery. What a journey it has been!! 1 Irene Frances Jenner Copy of baptismal certifi cate of alexander campbell.

  • 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.

  • Corranbuie & Skipness Land Management Plan Summary
    Corranbuie & Skipness Land Management Plan Summary Corranbuie & Skipness LMP was approved on 30-1-12017 and runs for 10 years. Vision Corranbuie and Skipness are two adjoining forests, see map 1 Location, lying immediately to the south of the village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne, linked by open hill land rising to over 350m at the highest point. Loch Fyne forms the majority of the eastern boundary while the western area is adjacent to elevated heath and private forestry plantations. Tarbert and Skipness are the closest settlements and the nearest transport link is the A83T which links Tarbert with Campbeltown. Ferry routes run close by from Tarbert to Portavadie, Claonaig to Arran and Kennacraig to Islay. Tarbert is an important tourist hub, with access provision into the forest from the village. The Kintyre Way runs through the forest. The eastern coastal strip is noted for its designated Atlantic oakwoods. The total combined management area is 2996.8ha. The primary objectives for the plan area are • Economic and sustainable timber production, including windblow clearance. • PAWS restoration. • Development of habitat networks. • Landscape improvement. • Enhancement and protection of Tarbert to Skipness Coast SSSI and Tarbert Woods SAC. • Construction of new forest roads. • Enhancement of the Kintyre Way. • Protection and enhancement water features and water supplies. • Delivery of Deep Peat policy outcomes • Contribution to renewables targets through hydro-scheme construction. • Protection and enhancement of cultural heritage assets. • To

The examination process also included a comprehensive series of unaccompanied site inspections and, for some issues we requested additional information from the council and other parties.

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.
