Ballachulish

The town of Ballachulish in Lochaber, Highland, Scotland, is centred on former slate quarries. The name Ballachulish (Ballecheles, 1522-- Straits town,) was more properly put on the location currently called North Ballachulish, to the north of Loch Leven, yet was taken over for the quarry villages at East Laroch and West Laroch, either side of the River Laroch, which were really within Glencoe and also South Ballachulish respectively. The principal industry is now tourism, although most visitors pass quickly by the village itself. The name Ballachulish (from Scottish Gaelic, Baile a' Chaolais) indicates "the Town by the Narrows". The narrows in question is Caolas Mhic Phàdraig - Peter or Patrick's son's tightens, at the mouth of Loch Leven. As there was no road to the head of Loch Leven up until 1927, the Ballachulish Ferry, developed in 1733, and those at Invercoe/Callert as well as Caolas na Con were necessary. The Ballachulish ferryboat closed in December 1975 when the Ballachulish Bridge lastly opened up. The Ballachulish Hotel and also Ballachulish House (until recently a country house hotel) are located near the tightens at (south) Ballachulish Ferry instead of in the "modern" town some 3 miles (5 kilometres) eastern. Ballachulish House was understood to be haunted, as well as the drive causing it was ridden by a headless horseman. The community of Glenachulish lies in Gleann a' Chaolais, the glen that diminishes to the tightens. This is the subject of the Gaelic track, Gleann Bhaile Chaoil created by John Cameron (1865-- 1951) and also known locally both as the Paisley Poet and by his neighborhood nickname Iain Cealaidh. He is commonly perplexed with one more regional bard likewise called John Cameron, understood in your area as Iain Rob (1822-- 1898). Gleann a' Chaolais is ringed by Beinn a' Bheithir, a massif which contains 2 munros - Sgorr Dhearg as well as Sgorr Dhonuill. Over the last few years a variety of brand-new houses have been developed in your area together with vacation huts and also an art gallery. Likewise the areas of Gleann a' Chaolais have actually been become the 9-hole Dragon's Tooth golf links. Forgeting the narrows is the monolith to James of the Glen, "held on this area for a crime of which he was blameless". Robert Louis Stevenson based his novel Kidnapped around the story of the Appin Murder. Whoever did eliminate The Red Fox (Campbell of Glenure) is still not known.

FAQs

How to remove a Velux window?

It’s relatively simple to remove a Velux window, whether it’s Velux-branded or is another brand of roof window. Here is a breakdown of the steps you’ll need to take to remove a roof window:

  1. Remove the sash (opening part) from the roof window frame. Usually there are screws in the hinges to loosen or a button to press and lift out.
  2. Next, remove the tiles or slates from around the window frame along with the flashing.
  3. Unscrew all the brackets around the window frame and lift out the frame.

It’s that simple! You can do all of this from inside your home – there's no need to climb on the roof. Removing the glass pane from a Velux window, for example if it has blown, is a more difficult job and should be left to a professional. It involves removing the sash from the roof window frame and then removing the surrounding parts of the sash to lift out the sealed unit. They will then place the new glazed unit into the sash frame before securing all the parts back onto the sash and fitting it back into the roof window frame.

What is a Velux window?

A Velux window is a brand of roof window, but the brand is so popular that people often use the name to describe the entire type of window. They are windows that are installed at the same orientation and ‘in plane’ with the surrounding roof, and they’re usually installed at a minimum of a 15-degree pitch. You can buy roof windows that offer completely frameless internal views for a really clean look in your loft conversion, while some come with built-in shutters.

Velux windows aren’t to be confused with rooflights which usually refers to a glazed unit that’s installed on a flat roof. It might also mean a window that’s been installed on a pitched roof out of plane with the level of the tiling.

People also confuse roof windows with skylights, which normally can’t be opened or closed and are usually smaller than Velux windows. Skylights, therefore, only let daylight into the room whereas roof windows also help with ventilation.

If you’re using your loft as a room in your home rather than simply for storage, you must have a roof window installed. Skylights won’t be enough as they don’t allow for ventilation. It doesn’t have to be a Velux window – it can be any type of roof window. Luckily, they tend to come in standard sizes and they must be CE marked if they’re sold as a roof window, so they should be easy to find.

Do you need planning permission for a Velux window?

In general, no – you don’t need planning permission for a Velux window. The Planning Portal says that you don’t need to apply for planning permission to install a roof window if the following conditions are met:

  • A roof window must not protrude more than 150 millimetres above the existing roof plane
  • No roof window or any other alteration can be higher than the highest part of the roof or stand out above the roof ridge
  • Side-facing windows must have obscure glazing to protect privacy of neighbours and, if they open, they must be 1.7 metres above the floor of the room in which they are installed

You don’t need to apply for planning permission for a roof window because they are covered under permitted development rights. However, if you’re a leaseholder or you live in a building where your local authority has made an Article 4 Direction, you will have to apply. Usually, an Article 4 Direction is made when you live in a conservation area where any external home improvements could affect the character and look of the area. Luckily, there are special Velux windows that are designed to be more likely to be accepted by your local planning authority. They’re called conservation windows and, although there’s still no guarantee that they will be accepted, they are designed to look more traditional. Even if you don’t need planning permission for your roof window, you still need to follow any relevant building regulations for your local authority. The most important parts for Velux windows are section J and section L of building regulations, which refer to energy efficiency, thermal insulation and fire protection.
