PLANS for a house near Clickimin Loch have been met with an objection by Historic Environment Scotland due to the âsignificant adverse impactâ it would have on the setting of the nearby broch.
Planning permission in principle is being sought to demolish a derelict building and build a four-bedroom, 1.5 storey house in its place, around 35 metres south east from the Clickimin Broch.

The application, from Raymond Slater, follows a similar submission which was ultimately rebuffed by planners last year over concerns that a house would have a negative impact on the setting of the broch.

TWO FRIENDS have raised over £3,000 for a breast cancer charity after successfully completing the challenge of running one mile every hour for 24 hours last weekend.
Alina Murray and Sanna Aitken had been exercising together throughout lockdown and decided to set themselves the challenge to support Make 2nds Count, a charity that has helped their friend and netball teammate Rhianne after she was diagnosed with breast cancer early last year.

They began their day-long endurance, running a mile around Clickimin Loch, at 4am on Saturday and concluded at 3am on Sunday.
Sanna said they had raised over £800 prior to the start. Donations kept flooding in throughout the day which helped boost their morale, and they are âreally delightedâ with the total now raised, which stands at some £3,254 from 211 supporters.

A horrified woman who saw children walking across a frozen loch on Friday afternoon fears there will be a tragedy if the “crazy” stunt is repeated.
Margaret Goodlad, 68, said she was shocked to see the youngsters in the middle of the Loch of Tresbister near Gulberwick.
She posted a message on Facebook urging parents to tell their children how dangerous icy lochs can be. Others commented that they had seen people walking on the ice at other lochs in Shetland.
Mrs Goodlad, who lives in Lerwick, said it was “just horrendous” to see.
