Please, DO NOT ruin this beautiful landscape and the ecology therein. The proposed project will cause massive interference to the lives of animals who have made a home in this environment, causing them deplorable pain and suffering. Find a replacement resource to quench your material greed without needlessly destroying lives.

Quarrying Gilles Hill is something the community of Cambusbarron and the wider community of Stiring are vehemently against due to the destructive scar these works would leave on this important and beautiful formation of hills surrounding one of Scotland's most important monuments, Stirling Castle.
Carol Anderson
Please do not let this quarrying go ahead. Preserve the environment and peace for sake of ecology, wildlife and local residents.

I am from St.Ninians and I have walked around Gillies Hill all my life, it is a beautiful place and should never be destroyed. There is endangered red squirrels along with other wonderful wildlife, owls etc. Pease use common sense and leave well alone.

Gillies Hill is an important area of green space that needs to be preserved for the current and future generations. It has significant biological importance and provides an important habitat for bats, red squirrels, badgers, beetles and other animals. Furthermore it is enjoyed by many for recreational purposes as well as being a good learning environment for the new generation. Please save this important space.

Please do not reopen the quarry on Gillies Hill. My partner has complex PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and the quiet woods enable him to get outside, have exercise and enjoy fresh air . If the quarry reopens he will be unable to walk outside as frequent blasting noise will trigger his PTSD and cause immense distress. He will rarely go outside again. He needs the quietness of the woods to relax. Please do not make his life even more of a living hell by reopening the quarry. Thank you.

I strongly object to the destruction of natural habitat of the wildlife of Gillies Hill.

Those Tree's quite probably are some of the original seedlings that were sent to Patrick Matthew of Gourdiehill a local Forester from the Carse of Gowrie whose son John D. Matthew sent them to him from what is known today as the North Grove of the Calaveras Big Tree State Park in the California Gold fields of 1853. This seed source was the first to be introduced to first Scotland then all of Europe. Patrick Matthew is a direct Descendant of Robert de Bruce and William Oliphant the sires of Elizabeth de Bruce and Robert Oliphant whose descendants are the Lords Oliphant of Athal and Dupplin Castle. as well as The Duncan Lairds of Lundie to include the families of Admiral Adam Duncan The first Viscount Duncan of Camperdown and Admiral Adam Drummond of Megginch..

I object to the proposed quarry because of the number of heavy lorries that will drive along residential streets that pass schools and parks. These roads are not designed for heavy vehicles. Also the area is historically important and the quarry will spoil the environment around the quarry and along all the streets that the lorries will pass along.

If this goes ahead you will change the entire feel of a village that is the chosen place to bring up children by many families. The distruction to the wildlife and flora and fauna seems unduly harsh given other options available. The area in question is heavily used for a wide range of recreational users that is more diverse than is easily possible in other areas it is an area where generations of children have and continue to learn to appreciate the special connection with the outdoors that makes them rounded individuals. The traffic caused by the lorries is apparently going to have minimal impact given the actual amount of traffic planned I don't imagine that anyone who will have to live with it for the life of the work would agree. Once it has started it will not be able to be reversed what will be lost will be lost. I urge you to consider that this is a special place that should not be lost and the benefit this area has for the greater Stirling community and those from further afield is great.

My papa walked these woods from just after WW1 until his early 90s (he died at 100 in 2007) and took all his kids and grandchildren up there to learn to love the woods. This lovely and special place must not be destroyed for the sake of profit/ filthy lucre of the few.
