Plans for Arran to be recognised as a UNESCO Global Geopark are taking shape with key personnel appointed to create a management team that will lead the way in establishing the Geopark status.
The partnership project, run jointly by the Arran Access Trust, National Trust for Scotland and Lochranza Centre CIC, has recruited project manager Niall Moffat, seasonal ranger Aerona Moore and path worker Scott Murdoch to drive the project forward, and which could result in Arran being designated as an area deemed to possess a geological heritage of international value.
The site would have to comply with the requirements set out by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, (UNESCO). Among the requirements are an assessment of the geological sites and a comprehensive management plan for the preservation, protection and the promotion of geo-tourism as well as a co-operation with the local community and the network of other Geoparks throughout the network.
