    Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/13 2018 Review of Westminster Constituencies Considerations for constituency design in Highland and north of Scotland Action required 1. The Commission is invited to consider the issue of constituency size when designing constituencies for Highland and the north of Scotland and whether it wishes to propose a constituency for its public consultation outwith the electorate quota. Background 2. The legislation governing the review states that no constituency is permitted to be larger than 13,000 square kilometres. 3. The legislation also states that any constituency larger than 12,000 square kilometres may have an electorate lower than 95% of the electoral quota (ie less than 71,031), if it is not reasonably possible for it to comply with that requirement. 4. The constituency size rule is probably only relevant in Highland. 5. The Secretariat has considered some alternative constituency designs for Highland and the north of Scotland for discussion. 6. There are currently 3 UK Parliament constituencies wholly with Highland Council area: Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross – 45,898 electors Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey – 74,354 electors Ross, Skye and Lochaber – 51,817 electors 7. During the 6th Review of UK Parliament constituencies the Commission developed proposals based on constituencies within the electoral quota and area limit. Option 1 – considers electorate lower than 95% of the electoral quota in Highland 8. Option 1: follows the Scottish Parliament constituency of Caithness, Sutherland and Ross, that includes Highland wards 1 – 5, 7, 8 and part of ward 6. The electorate and area for the proposed Caithness, Sutherland and Ross constituency is 53,264 electors and 12,792 sq km; creates an Inverness constituency that includes Highland wards 9 -11, 13-18, 20 and ward 6 (part) with an electorate of 85,276.

PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.

Natural springs or flushes present in the study area but not identified as existing PWS sources are considered in the context of the groundwater dependent terrestrial ecosystem (GWDTE) assessment in Chapter 10 (Volume 1) and Appendix 10.2 (Volume 2). 2 Approach and Methods 2.1.1 The assessment related to groundwater abstractions and PWS covered a study area extending to 850m from the temporary and permanent works boundaries of the Proposed Scheme, which was considered to correspond to the minimum study area applied for groundwater abstractions under The Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 (CAR).

  • Respondent Information Form
    CONSULTATION QUESTIONS NUTS boundaries are used for reporting of regional statistics to Eurostat and those statistics are used to inform regional policy. The Scottish Government is proposing to make minimal changes beyond aligning existing NUTS boundaries to Local Authority Boundaries. Do you have any comments on the Scottish Governments proposals for NUTS 2 regions? We agree that the NUTS 2 area boundaries should be contiguous to the boundaries of the relevant Local Authorities. We agree therefore that the Highlands and Islands NUTS 2 areas should be expanded to include all of Argyll and Bute within a single unit. The Isle of Arran and the Cumbraes should move into South Western NUTS 2 area so that they are included in the same region as the Mainland part of North Ayrshire administrative area. Do you have any comments on the Scottish Governments proposals for NUTS 3 regions? We agree that NUTS 3 area boundaries should be contiguous with the boundaries of the relevant Local Authorities. We agree therefore that the boundaries of East, Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire and Helensburgh and Lomond should become East and West Dunbartonshire reflecting the local Authority Boundary of the same names. East and North Ayrshire NUTS areas should become East and North Ayrshire, containing both the mainland and island parts of the East Ayrshire and North Ayrshire Local Authorities. And that 3 new NUTS areas; Highlands, Moray and Argyll and Bute will align themselves to the Local Authority areas of the same name, replacing Caithness and Sutherland, Ross and Cromarty, Inverness and Nairn, Moray and Badenoch and Strathspey and Lochaber, Skye and Lochalsh, Arran & Cumbrae Eurostat have requested we consider merging the Highlands & Islands with North Eastern Scotland to create a new area that’s closer to the recommended population thresholds.
