The trail is now almost complete (bar a few final safety checks) and will be opened officially next spring, running for 15 miles from Inversnaid to Aberfoyle. Beyond that, there is a grander plan for a 90-mile east-west path from the start of the Cowal Way in Portavadie to Callander. As yet nameless, it should be finished in 2015 and will make a new alternative to the well-worn West Highland Way, which runs north-south.
- Scotland is going it alone – regardless of the referendum theguardian.com
The more influential ministers in the coalition ache above all to radically challenge the role of the state, to achieve the reverse of the 1945 Labour government. Remarkably, given that they rule in a hung parliament, they have found the space to pursue their radical ambitions. Few in England voted for a revolutionary overhaul of the NHS, the near privatisation of universities, a further decline in the power of local government, a framework for education that paves the way for a return to selection and the introduction of profit-making schools, but that is what they are getting. In their fervent disdain for the state as a mediating agency, ministers focus with special energetic intensity on areas over which they happen to have no powers in Scotland.
As a result Scotland becomes more markedly different than ever. In Scotland the NHS is spared the haphazard revolution in England. The education secretary, Michael Gove, is powerless to impose his resolute will on schools in Scotland and the same applies to his other more evangelical colleagues moving England rightwards. Without doing very much Scotland becomes more different because of what is happening in England. The limited powers handed over to the Scottish parliament are precisely the ones that partly protect it from the ideological mission of the Westminster government.

The properties are mostly of historical and/or architectural interest and we are looking for tenants who, like us, are committed to maintaining Scotland’s built heritage through a sensitive approach to building conservation, taking into account the special character and location of the buildings.
