Signed: Angela Alison Watt Dated: 25th June 2013 Abstract Title: The implications of cultural interchange in Scalloway, Shetland, with reference to a perceived Nordic-based heritage. Author: Angela Watt, PhD Researcher, Centre for Nordic Studies/UHI Shetland’s geographical location has long been considered remote or isolated from a centralised Scottish perspective. However, as an island group situated between the neighbouring landmasses of Scotland and Norway, Shetland is directly situated on the maritime highway of the North Atlantic Rim. The mobilising quality of the maritime highway created a path of entry into the islands, allowing the development of locational narratives, but has also resulted in the loss of some of these narratives. This investigation addresses the dynamics of cultural interchange by formulating a theoretical model of the exchange of ‘cultural products’; with particular regard for practices of recording and displaying visual narratives. The ancient capital of Shetland, Scalloway, provides the background for a microcosmic account of Shetland’s wider history and cultural composition and forms the main focus of the thesis. Within this setting the process of cultural interchange can be seen to have been formative in the development of island identity; particularly in traditional practices, occupational forms, dialect, place-names and cultural expressions. The historical account of Scalloway provides material culture evidence for human occupation reaching back to the Bronze Age. Successive ‘layers’ in the archaeological record and officially recorded histories indicate distinct periods pertinent in the development of a local identity; Iron Age, Norse Era, Stewart Earldom and World War Two. Collectively, these periods represent a consecutive process of ‘imprinting’ characteristics upon the local population; including geographical positioning, dialect, political control and shared narrative histories with Norway during the Second World War. However, it can be seen that there is an over-determination of the Norse element of island identity, which finds a greater degree of replication in visual accounts. It is argued in this investigation that this over-determination is a deliberate cultural construct of island identity that is maintained in opposition to Scottish control. 2 Contents Acknowledgements iii List of Figures vii List of Tables ix 1.

It has been an interesting and enlightening journey that has developed an idea with potential into a doctoral thesis. This journey has taken me across vast geographical distances: across time zones, continents, through cultures, spaces and ultimately arrived at the destination of learning. All of this would have been poorer had it not been for all those willing individuals who helped me along the way. This research degree was collaboratively funded through the Centre for Nordic Studies (Orkney), the UHI Millennium Institute (now University of the Highlands and Islands) and Shetland Islands Council (SIC): without this provision I would not have been able to undertake the necessary period of research. I must also acknowledge the determination and support shown by my supervisors, Dr Donna Heddle and Professor Margaret Grieco, in seeing this investigation through to completion. I am grateful for the assistance received from particular institutions, including: Scalloway Museum, Shetland Family History Group, The Shetland Bus Society, Shetland Museum and Archives, Hocken Library: Dunedin, and Shetland Library (especially Douglas Garden and the Inter-Library Loan staff). Thank you to the staff at: ‘Shetland Silvercraft’, ‘J.J. Rae’s Jeweller’s’, Rosaleen Williamson of ‘Hjaltasteyn’, ‘Ola Gorie’ (Orkney) and ‘Orkneyinga Silverwork’ (Orkney). Thank you to all the Shetland schoolchildren who took part in the school art survey - and to their parents for signing the consent forms. This would have been impossible without the willingness of the teachers and I am especially grateful to Noelle Henderson of the Shetland Education Department for helping to arrange this and to the art teachers for their cooperation. I should also like to acknowledge my appreciation to the staff iii of the Scalloway Harbour Office – Alastair and Ross – and the ‘Quarry Boys’ – Billy and Michael – for indulging my curiosity and for their cooperation, statistics and photographs. Sincere thanks to all those individuals who participated in interviews, allowed me into their homes and opened up family albums for me to look at:- Within Shetland I should like to extend my gratitude to the following individuals: Georgie Duthie and family for help in obtaining the ‘Chris Chataway’ film, Ella Watt and family for helping with the lobster pool investigation, Dennis Coutts for delving into his commercial photographic collection and offering information about the lobster pool ‘story’ in The Shetland Times, Rosa Steppanova for reminiscing her friendship with the photographer Gunnie Moberg, Stuart Hill for his ‘outsiders’

  • Richard Oram the Ancient Monuments of Shetland, Ed. C
    again. there is a blend of archaeological and historical study, pulling together information from disparate sources to produce a composite whole. Except in comments about Celtic society in general. it must be borne in mind that what is reconstructed for Pictish society is based on analogy from Scottish sources or from the writings of Bede and other non-Pictish scholars and observers. Despite this handicap. what has been produced is a highly credible image. The •Art of the Picts and Scots' is the largest but least successful section. Clearly, this is the field which is ofgreatest personal interest to the authors, but with 48 pages devoted to the Picts and 12 to the Scots there is a striking imbalance. Indeed, the section on Dalriada seems almost an afterthought tagged on to the end of a detailed essay on the evolution of Pictish art. Praise for the book has to be tempered with complaints about its editing and the quality of some of its maps. There are. for example. distressing signs that the authors' knowledge ofScot­ tish geography is not quite what it should be. Fig. 7. for example (map of Historical Pictland) locating Restenneth somewhere in the vicinity of Glen Shee! The errors are most noticeable in the captions to the illustrations: the Raasay Stone (Fig. 96) is on Raasay. not Skye; there is no such stone as the Eassie 'Priory' stone; while in the text Fowlis Wester is located in Fife (p. 135) in the index as being in Angus. as well as correctly in Perthshire (p. 127). Such mistakes detract from the overall value of the book.

  • Annual Shetland Pony Sale – Lerwick 2011
    ANNUAL SHETLAND PONY SALE – LERWICK 2011 Shetland’s annual show and sale of Shetland Ponies was held on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th October 2011 at the Shetland Rural Centre, Lerwick. Entries for the sale were down on previous years with 133 ponies entered in this year’s catalogue. In particular there were fewer colt foals and fillies entered than usual meaning that the majority of ponies offered for sale were filly foals. Top price at the sale went to Mrs L J Burgess for her standard piebald filly foal, Robin’s Brae Pippa by HRE Fetlar, which realised 600 gns to A A Robertson, Walls, Shetland. HRE Fetlar achieved a gold award in the Pony Breeders of Shetland Association Shetland Pony Evaluation Scheme. The champion filly foal from the previous day’s show, Mrs M Inkster’s standard black filly, Laurenlea Louise by Birchwood Pippin, sold at 475 gns to Miss P J J Gear, Foula. Champion colt foal Niko of Kirkatown by Loanin Cleon, from Mr D A Laurenson, Haroldswick sold for 10 gns to Claire Smith, Punds, Sandwick. Regrettably, demand and prices in general were poor and some ponies passed through the ring unsold. Local sales accounted for a good proportion of trade as did the support of the regular buyers that make the annual trip from mainland UK to attend the sale each year. The show of foals on Thursday evening was judged by Mr Holder Firth, Eastaben, Orkney and his prizewinners and the prices that they realised, if sold, were as follows: Standard Black Filly Foals Gns 1st Laurenlea Louise Mrs M Inkster, Haroldswick, Unst 475 2nd Robin’s

  • Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study
    Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study Fair Isle Public Engagement Meeting Wednesday 31st August 2016 – 1700–2000 Fair Isle Hall Peter Brett Associates LLP Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study Welcome to the Fair Isle Public Engagement Meeting for the Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study (SIITS). The Shetland inter-island transport network, which consists of a combination of ferry and air services, connects nine islands with Shetland mainland. These lifeline connections support the economies of Shetland’s island communities as well as providing personal accessibility to employment opportunities and access to key services such as education, health and leisure opportunities. The inter-island transport network has been supported in both capital and revenue terms by the Council over many years. Whilst this remains the case, ageing assets, escalating costs and a reduction in the funding available to local authorities has led to a need to consider the future of the inter-island transport network at the strategic level. To this end, the Council, in partnership with ZetTrans, Transport Scotland and Highlands & Islands Enterprise, commissioned the Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study (SIITS), with a view to developing and appraising options for the future of the inter-island transport services. The purpose of this exercise is to determine the appropriate level of service for each island / island group and the funding implications of this. This will provide the Council and ZetTrans with an evidence base to inform discussions with Scottish Government. To this end, the study team, led by Peter Brett Associates LLP, has developed, appraised & costed a set of capital (e.g. vessels, harbours, fixed links, airfields and aircraft (where appropriate)) and revenue (i.e.

  • Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions
    Records of species and subspecies recorded in Scotland on up to 20 occasions In 1993 SOC Council delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List (list of all species and subspecies of wild birds recorded in Scotland). In turn, SBRC appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function. Current members are Dave Clugston, Ron Forrester, Angus Hogg, Bob McGowan Chris McInerny and Roger Riddington. In 1996, Peter Gordon and David Clugston, on behalf of SBRC, produced a list of records of species recorded in Scotland on up to 5 occasions (Gordon & Clugston 1996). Subsequently, SBRC decided to expand this list to include all acceptable records of species recorded on up to 20 occasions, and to incorporate subspecies with a similar number of records (Andrews & Naylor 2002). The last occasion that a complete list of records appeared in print was in The Birds of Scotland, which included all records up until 2004 (Forrester et al. 2007). During the period from 2002 until 2013, amendments and updates to the list of records appeared regularly as part of SBRC’s Scottish List Subcommittee’s reports in Scottish Birds. Since 2014 these records have appear on the SOC’s website, a significant advantage being that the entire list of all records for such species can be viewed together (Forrester 2014). The Scottish List Subcommittee are now updating the list annually. The current update includes records from the British Birds Rarities Committee’s Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 2015 (Hudson 2016) and SBRC’s Report on rare birds in Scotland, 2015 (McGowan & McInerny 2017).
