  • KNOYDART a Two-Day Bothy Adventure in the Wilderness of the Rough Bounds
    KNOYDART A two-day bothy adventure in the wilderness of the Rough Bounds Overview The so-called 'Rough Bounds' of Knoydart – often described as Britain's last wilderness – are difficult to reach. Getting to the start of the route involves either a boat trip or long car journey along a winding, 20 mile single-track road. Cut off from the UK road network, the peninsula is a wild place of rugged mountains, remote glens and fjord-like sea lochs. This spectacular area includes three Munros and its coastal views take in Skye and the islands of the Inner Hebrides. In the 19th century, the peninsula fell victim to the Highland clearances but since 1999, after huge fundraising efforts, the land has been owned and managed by its own small community. Some days you won’t bump into another soul in here – although you may spot minke whales, eagles, otters and stags. Despite its inaccessibility, there are good paths connecting the glens and these provide exceptional running through challenging terrain. This fastpacking circuit is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the unique landscape. Highlights • A truly special wilderness experience in a remote and spectacular location • A superb route on a legacy network of well-made paths through wild terrain • Spectacular views of rugged mountain and coastal scenery • Plentiful wildlife including red deer, otters, pine martens and birds of prey such as golden eagles • An overnight stay or wild camp at Sourlies bothy • Fantastic running, descending off the passes and along loch-side paths. Top tips • Be prepared for a serious run in a remote area with limited escape options.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 044, 1915
    'TWIXT LOCH NEVIS AND LOCH HOURN. BY ALEX. INKSON MCCONNOCHIE. THE long peninsula known as Knoydart, between Loch Nevis on the south and Loch Hourn on the north, has few rivals in the Highlands for picturesque scenery of the sternly grand style. MacCulloch declared it to be "indeed one of the loftiest as well as wildest tracks in Scotland." Even among modern mountaineers Knoydart has the reputation of being " the wildest and the grandest," "the most inaccessible," and "among the roughest" of the districts which they so much love to traverse. Before Mallaig became a railway terminus and a seaport, Knoydart was practically shut out except from the east, and then had generally to be entered on foot. I had planned a nice long walk from Achnacarry, but as my visit was made last January, my host would not hear of such an attempt in winter, and strongly recommended Mallaig as the best approach. Mallaig is a marvel of modern business develop- ment, yet visitors would prefer that station, village, and harbour were less commingled. The steam drifter reigned supreme, and herring gutters blocked access to other steamers. The tiny mail boat " Enterprise " took us on board, and after a six-mile voyage safely landed us at the Inverie pier of Knoydart. We found the beauties of Loch Nevis, with rocky hills on both shores, to be of no mean order ; but Loch Hourn, with which Thewe had previousl Cairngormy made acquaintance, is acclaime Clubd by artists as the finest sea loch in Scotland. Both lochs have the added charm of woods in parts.

  • Proposal for Gaelic Medium Catchment, Acharacle Primary School
    Agenda 13. Item Report EDU/14/21 No HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Education Committee Date: 20 May 2021 Statutory Consultation – Proposal for Gaelic Medium Report Title: Catchment, Acharacle Primary School Report By: Executive Chief Officer Education and Learning 1. Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report seeks Members agreement to conduct a statutory consultation proposing the establishment of a Gaelic Medium (GM) catchment area for Acharacle Primary School. 1.2 Currently there are pupils who live in the Strontian Primary School catchment who attend GME at Acharacle Primary School. Including the Strontian catchment in the proposed GM catchment therefore reflects existing practice that has developed on an informal basis. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to agree to proceed to statutory consultation, on the basis of the proposal attached to this report. 3. Implications 3.1 Resource - The proposal seeks to maximise access to GME whilst still considering and balancing financial implications, particularly with regard to school transport. No additional costs are envisaged at present as a result of the proposal. 3.2 Legal - The Proposal will be issued for statutory consultation as required by the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010. It also complies with the provisions for school transport set out within the Education (Scotland) Act 1980; with the provisions relating to GME contained within the Education (Scotland) Act 2016; and with statutory guidance on the creation of GM catchment areas, issued by Bòrd na Gàidhlig. 3.3 Community (Equality, Poverty and Rural) - There are no specific impacts on equality, poverty or rural issues, beyond those already considered as part of access to GME.

  • Mammal Report: Speyside and Ardnamurchan Peninsula, Scotland
    Mammal Report: Ardnamurchan Peninsula and Mull, Scotland 3 - 10 October 2009 Mike Richardson Introduction On October 3, 2009, I visited the Ardnamurchan Peninsula on the west coast of Scotland for a week. Accompanied by my girlfriend, two friends and their baby, our primary aim was to relax and unwind away from the stresses of modern life. However, with so much wildlife to see I was unable to rest for long and spent a reasonable amount of time birding and searching for mammals. For seven nights we were based in Mingarry near Acharacle allowing close proximity to the mammal hotspots of Ardnamurchan. We also spent a day exploring the north of Mull using the Kilchoan to Tobermory ferry to gain access to this beautiful island. Despite a gloomy long term forecast, the weather turned out to be excellent throughout the week, with only occasional rain showers and strong winds. Temperatures were mild although it did get cold on the night drives over the hills. Accommodation and food I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Garmoran Square (01967 431456) in Mingarry for first class self-catering accommodation. Eating out in October takes a little planning, as several places limit opening times or close altogether out of season. Decent meals can be found at the Ben view Hotel and the Strontian Hotel, both in Strontian. The latter had changed hands since my last visit and is very much improved. The Ardnamurchan Natural History Centre (01972 500209) at Glenmore deserves a special mention. Not only does it do splendid lunches and cakes, it is also a great place to chat about the latest wildlife sightings, including those of Wildcat.
