- Negotiations on Seafari Adventures’ proposed fuel facility at Ellenabeich
Can’t understand the mentality here sometimes , if it needs planning then any type of storage will be robust and comply with planning, it could be equally argued that if a cottage caught fire , it might damage their fuel store.Can I ask what’s worse ,fuel stored on a flat level area , in an adequate facility or fuel stored a few feet away in a boat with electrical items on board.As far as diesel is concerned , the outdrives and engine arrangements for diesel ribs , involve higher purchase costs, you are a long time paying back, the red diesel degrodation isn’t set in concrete as a permanent arrangement either, seems to me it’s just Baa Humbug

I suspect it will take more than a signature on a petition to wash the blood from the hands of that Clan?

A completely hollow and meaningless gesture.
If he wants to be noble perhaps he should apologise for the wrongful conviction and murder of James of the Glens and hand back the forfeited Stewart lands in Appin?

As far as we know, the current Duke went to Inveraray Primary School.

“The Acts of Attainder were used against them, declaring their families down the continuing generations to be of ‘corrupt blood’ (the ‘taint’ in the attainder); confiscating their estates and property – which went to the King; prevented any inheritance, the passing on of family rights and titles to succeeding generations; and exiling the primary culprits.
The attainder placed on these families has never been lifted, seeing the old titles lost and current descendants unable to assume that link with their family’s past – just because they ended up on the losing side over two and a half centuries ago.”
Those who were of the real Jacobite bloodlines know they are not tainted or dirty. This is just propaganda to win someone’s favour.
