Blairquhan Castle, Straiton Occasional Licence Application – 28Th to 30Th April, 5Th & 6Th May, 21St & 22Nd July 2019 Report by Licensing Standards Officer Martin Dunlop– Blairquhan Castle, Straiton Occasional Licence Application – 28th to 30th April, 5th & 6th May, 21st & 22nd July 2019 Report by Licensing Standards Officer I refer to the Occasional Licence applications made for a variety of dates for the purpose og a Group Residential Stay in the public rooms and grounds of Blairquhan Castle at Straiton. Each application is for a group of around 40 adults who will be staying at the Castle over a two day period at a time. The reason for the applications and indeed for the later hour is due to a residential stay for guests of William Grants distillery in Girvan who are visiting the new Gin Palace based at the Girvan factory. I understand that in each case the group may be touring Ayrshire during their stay and may be later to return on some of the evenings and whilst the staff at Blairquhan do not anticipate the full use of the hours on all both evenings, they want to have the option to do so if required. The terminal hour of 1am is not able to be granted under delegated powers and thus the application has to be considered at a Licensing Board meeting. Members will be aware of the pattern of Occasional Licences which have been applied for by this venue over the past few years and indeed that there have already been 3 Occasional Licences granted by this Board for similar events in 2019. Considering the above and the rural location of the venue I do not believe the grant of this licence would be contrary to any of the licensing objectives and am not aware of any complaints in relation to the premises as a result of licensed events. Catrina Andrew Licensing Standards Officer 18th February 2019 27 .

  • Culdoch Cottage Straiton
    CULDOCH COTTAGE STRAITON w w w . c o r u m p r o p e r t y . c o . u k T H E P R O P E R T Y 3 | B E D R O O M S 2 | B A T H R O O M S 1 | P U B L I C R O O M A charming and truly impressive extended country cottage, nestled within four acres of gardens and woodland on the fringe of the popular village of Straiton. Culdoch Cottage occupies an enviable and generous plot only a mile from the amenities of the village of Straiton, with a stunning rural setting that looks out over rolling Ayrshire countryside. This picturesque country cottage has been extended to create a substantial family home, with three large bedrooms and ample modern living spaces that are all on-the-level. The property is surrounded by a mixture of manicured and decorative garden grounds and mature wooded areas that continue into more wild and open countryside leading up the hill to a secluded waterfall with a summer house. From several elevated positions within the plot there are incredible views and the rural setting creates an unrivalled amount of privacy. There is also off road parking, a large outbuilding and potential to add further accommodation on the plot, subject to the normal planning consents. In more detail, the internal accommodation extends to an entrance hallway, a spacious bay windowed lounge / dining area with a feature fireplace, log burner and patio doors out to the rear, a fitted kitchen with ample wall and base units and patio doors to the side, a master bedroom with a fitted en suite shower room, an inner hallway leading to two further double bedrooms with fireplaces and log burners, a family bathroom suite and stairs leading up to a floored and lined attic, with Velux windows and a separate attic store.

    Scottish Government VisitStraiton Energy Consents Unit 18 Main Street 4th Floor, 5 Atlantic Quay Straiton 150 Broomielaw Glasgow G2 8LU Maybole South Ayrshire KA19 7NF [email protected] [email protected] http://visitstraiton.com 10th January 2014 by post and email Dear Sirs, RE: the proposed KEIRS HILL WIND FARM, near Patna, East Ayrshire In addition to objections which we will be making separately as concerned individuals, we (the undersigned) would like to object to the proposed Keirs Hill Wind Farm, which we believe would have a damaging effect on a healthy local tourist industry in Straiton, 3.5km away. In brief, we belief that the integrity of the Galloway Forest Park, the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park and the Galloway and South Ayrshire Biosphere as tourist destinations are threatened by a development on such a large scale on the major tourist route from the Central Belt to Dumfries and Galloway, the A713; we believe the development is too close to the much loved and used Monument Hill walk, as well as to the nationally significant Designed Landscapes of Blairquhan and Craigengillan; and we believe the survey carried out shows that the threat posed by Keirs Hill to the many tourist businesses in Straiton and nearby is real, and the dismissal of this threat by the PBA Roger Tym survey is completely contradicted by the evidence that they themselves adduce. In April 2013, we also produced a report on tourism in Straiton, Wind Farm Development & Tourism in Straiton: a case-study of tourist provision for the Galloway Forest Park and the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park.
