Loch Katrine huts and baches

Brendan Smith made this Official Information request to Department of Conservation

The request was refused by Department of Conservation.

From: Brendan Smith

Dear Department of Conservation,

I would like to request meeting notes or correspondence from the past 10 years relating to the building and establishment of the huts built by the loch katrine association and loch katrine trust (and given a concession to do so by doc) at loch katrine. This includes but is not limited to any agreements made and conditions agreed upon for the building of these huts, the establishment of a policy or condition relating to the availability to the public of these (privately built) huts, and any discussions over the price to be charged from the public.

Furthermore, I would like to request any meeting notes or correspondence relating to the many other baches which were established many years ago and that still remain at loch katrine (basically all huts that are not the 3 new ones built under concession). If this would require substantial collation can you please provide any from the last 10 years.

Yours faithfully,

Brendan Smith
