  • A Brief History of the Clachan Church & Burial Ground R. Angus Adamson

    A Brief History of the Clachan Church & Burial Ground R. Angus Adamson

    A Brief History of The Clachan Church & Burial Ground R. Angus Adamson B.D.Min.(Hons.) The site of the old parish mission church at Clachan has long been 'holy' ground. As the late Professor J. Kennedy Cameron of the Free Church College, Edinburgh, pointed out in his excellent work The Church In Arran: 'The name Clachan indicates that the place, before any Christian house of worship had been erected in it, was a centre of Druidic worship. The term has come down to us from the time when the early inhabitants of the island were wont to assemble there for worship of their gods. To go to the Clachan, or stones, was equivalent to going to worship.'1 Also of note in this regard, is the fact that the Clachan site is, and always has been, a wooded location, which would make it an ideal 'holy' place in pagan times, when the Druids favoured secluded wooded groves in which to practice their ancient mysteries. That the Clachan Glen continued to be a place of worship after Christianity arrived on Arran during the 6th Century C.E., through the mission of the Celtic church from Ireland, there can be little doubt.2 It was common practice for the early missionaries to adopt pagan sites and Christianize them, absorbing the old religion into the new. A short distance from the present burial ground just below the main road, which now dissects the wooded area around Clachan, are said to be early Christian remains once known locally as Caibeal Eoin (John's Chapel).

NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Development/Project Mowi Scotland Limited proposes a new Atlantic Salmon farm in Kilbrannan Sound, named North Kilbrannan, situated just north of Cour Bay and about 9 km north from the existing Carradale North farm. The proposed infrastructure is 12 pens of 120 m circumference each, arranged in a 2x6 regular grid; associated moorings to the seabed; a feed barge; and 3 ancillary single point moorings. North Kilbrannan has a SEPA Controlled Activities Regulation (CAR) Licence (CAR/L/1168182) to operate up to a biomass of 2475.54 tonnes. Benthic Environment Uneaten food and faeces are the main components of particulate waste generated at a fish farm, which may impact the benthic environment. This assessment considers the impacts of the proposed North Kilbrannan farm, arising from organic (carbon) deposition and in-feed treatment residues.

What is the difference between Transmission and Distribution? Electricity Transmission is the transportation of electricity from generating plants to where it is required at centres of demand. The Electricity Transmission network, or grid, transports electricity at very high voltages through overhead wires, underground cables and subsea cables. The transmission network connects large scale generation, primarily renewables, to central and southern Scotland and the rest of Great Britain. It also helps secure supply by providing reliable connection to the wider network of generation plans. The Electricity Distribution network is connected into the Transmission network but the voltage is lowered by transformers at electricity substations, and the power is then distributed to homes and businesses through overhead lines or underground cables. Overview of Transmission projects In total we maintain about 5,000km of overhead lines and underground cables – easily enough to stretch across the Atlantic from John O’Groats all the way to Boston in the USA. Our network crosses some of the UK’s most challenging terrain – including circuits that are buried under the seabed, are located over 750m above sea level and up to 250km long.

  • The Lordship of the Isles Identity Through Materiality

    The Lordship of the Isles Identity Through Materiality

    CHAPTER 10 The Lordship of the Isles Identity Through Materiality David H. Caldwell The Lordship of the Isles emerged in an archipelago that had been part of the Scandinavian World, and the lords were successors to a Scandinavian dynasty of kings based in the Isle of Man. Their direct twelfth-century ancestor, Ranald mac Somhairle, appears as a king in a European mould, pos- sibly the builder of a large European style castle at Finlaggan in Islay and the founder of religious houses at Saddell in Kintyre and in Iona.1 His thirteenth- century descendants and successors continued to play an active part in the politics of the British Isles. The MacDonald kindred, descended from his son Donald, aligned themselves with the cause of Robert Bruce in the Wars of Independence. Yet the Lordship of the Isles which emerged in the fourteenth century under MacDonald leadership played down its Scandinavian heritage and was con- sciously a world apart from Lowland Scotland. Despite the fact that Donald, the son of John 1st Lord of the Isles by the king’s daughter, was chosen to lead the clan after the death of his father in 1387 rather than his elder and apparently able half-brother Ranald,2 there are no signs of any real intention to depart from a policy of creating a Gaelic lordship. By adopting their surname as a title – ‘McDhomhnaill’ – at least from 1408, the lords were aligning themselves with, if not anticipating the practice of Irish kings. Inauguration rights for new lords and the maintenance of a Council (recte Parliament) of the Isles are other signs that the MacDonald kindred would not be bound by Stewart Scotland.3 There were no burghs, the bastions of European society, culture and trade, within the Lordship, surely as a result of deliberate decisions, and no evidence for any significant influx of fresh blood, especially in the form of specialists, from outwith native Ireland and the Gàidhealtachd.
