- School closures: Russell commits to centrality of educational benefit – without clarifying the current meaning of the term
Tiree has had a baby boom over the last 5 years…seems the intake in pre-5 is on the up…don’t have exact figures…but certainly the school is sustainable - DVLA: one example of what demerging means
This is an article on re- processing…not generation ! FYI the Argyll Array estimated cost is 7.6 billion….thats before a milli amp is generated.And there is Gas plus Englands own wind industrialisation…drive
The fact remains why would the rUK buy from Scotland when they can get it cheaper from across the Channel or their home market….we don’t even have the grid to export…who will pay for that…England, naw…dont think so.
- DVLA: one example of what demerging means
Scenario :Scotland gets indy from the rest of the United Kingdom….and then outsources governance services across the border or to the EU….we pay more. DVLA and Currency just small ( LMAO ) examples….lets face it we are joined at the hip…the nationalist dream is built on insecurity and greed for the black stuff….what a burach…
When the oil goes…for whatever reason…Salmond thinks we can export electricity to the UK and EU from our swaths of turbines….why would anyone pay for this when they have secure energy in nuke.The SNP are digging a large black hole that will be populated by quangos and empty promises, and capped by handouts and begging letters….LMAO
- First Minister’s call for ‘grown up politics’ countered by order – from the top
MR RUSSEL ,
Seems to me that the you have not made any point at all…simply squirmed your way into the political vacous speel that you and your ilk always revert to…Simply correct anything you see as subjective….Politics and politicians … your self included seem to have forgot you work for us…the folks who pay your wages…so earn your coffers and put some meat on the NEWSIE post…… - Helicopter unable to transfer patient from Oban Hospital on Thursday evening
And lets thank all junior doctors in Oban and further afield for working long hours for a pittance of reward…the helicopter crews for acting with continuing professionalism…and Tesco’s for their wonderfull prime pork sausages…..
Suggest MM reads the following before he blows a gasket.

Inchtavannach

Shh! Don’t tell the other Local Authorities that as ABC claims SINA for Seil. Oops, too late.

What about Innis Trynich on Loch Awe? There is at least one house on it, but…
Forgot about Oronsay AND DAVAAR (Shame); didn’t know Erraid and Gometra were inhabited – now off to find out where Danna is and to check if Inchtavannach is in Loch Lomond.
And Inchmurran – or is that outwith Argyll and Bute?
Press piece said single inhabitant of Innis Chonan recently stopped living there. Is this incorrect?

I think that Eilean da Mheinn, Crinan Harbour, is inhabited all year round.

Eilan Loain (known to some as ‘treasure island’), Loch Sween, certainly has a very substantial house – but might not be inhabited all year.

What is an island? In his excellent & comprehensive book “The Scottish Islands” Hamish Haswell-Smith arrived at a definition after much consideration: “An island is a piece of land or group of pieces of land which is entirely surrounded by sea water at Lowest Astronomical Tide and to which there is no permanent means of dry access.” For freshwater lochs knock out the tidal & seawater bits. So, Seil is not an island, nor are Danna or Davaar. Gometra is attached to Ulva, Oronsay to Colonsay etc etc. Is a revision of the list in order?

Gometra has been inhabited for decades. Not only inhabited but well farmed by the Munros.

Old misery before my time – aye that’ll be right.
Lets ne honest here – Geo Freeman provides the list of the 25. Then someone suggests that because Hasmish double-barrelled name defines an island differently form others this ‘definition’ suggests that some islands are actually no longer islands!! This provokes even more suggestions/counter suggestions from the usual suspect eg “it has a bridge”/or “has a substantial house but might not be inhabiited all year”.
Ye gods – talk about the number of angels that can dance on the head of apin!!! Get a life you numpties.
Oh, and have a nice day

What about Campbeltown? Most folk seem to think of it as an island because its so far away from anywhere else!

If Argyll was in France Kintyre would be a textbook example of a ‘presqu’ile’ – but still not an island, even if a canal were to be dug at Tarbert.
