  • Pictish Symbol Stones and Early Cross-Slabs from Orkney
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot 144 (2014), PICTISH169–204 SYMBOL STONES AND EARLY CROSS-SLABS FROM ORKNEY | 169 Pictish symbol stones and early cross-slabs from Orkney Ian G Scott* and Anna Ritchie† ABSTRACT Orkney shared in the flowering of interest in stone carving that took place throughout Scotland from the 7th century AD onwards. The corpus illustrated here includes seven accomplished Pictish symbol- bearing stones, four small stones incised with rough versions of symbols, at least one relief-ornamented Pictish cross-slab, thirteen cross-slabs (including recumbent slabs), two portable cross-slabs and two pieces of church furniture in the form of an altar frontal and a portable altar slab. The art-historical context for this stone carving shows close links both with Shetland to the north and Caithness to the south, as well as more distant links with Iona and with the Pictish mainland south of the Moray Firth. The context and function of the stones are discussed and a case is made for the existence of an early monastery on the island of Flotta. While much has been written about the Picts only superb building stone but also ideal stone for and early Christianity in Orkney, illustration of carving, and is easily accessible on the foreshore the carved stones has mostly taken the form of and by quarrying. It fractures naturally into flat photographs and there is a clear need for a corpus rectilinear slabs, which are relatively soft and can of drawings of the stones in related scales in easily be incised, pecked or carved in relief.

  • 1 Marine Scotland. Draft Sectoral Plan for Offshore Wind
    Marine Scotland. Draft Sectoral Plan for Offshore Wind (Dec 2019) Supplementary Advice to SNH Consultation Response (25 March 2020). SNH Assessment of Potential Seascape, Landscape and Visual Impacts and Provision of Design Guidance This document sets out SNH’s Landscape and Visual Impact appraisal of each of the Draft Plan Option (DPO) areas presented in the above consultation and the opportunities for mitigating these, through windfarm siting and design. Due to its size, we are submitting it separately from our main response to the draft Plan. We had hoped to be able to submit this earlier within the consultation period and apologise that this was delayed slightly. Our advice is in three parts: Part 1. Context and Approach taken to Assessment Part 2. DPO Assessment and Design Guidance Part 3. DPO Assessment and Design Guidance: Supporting Maps Should you wish to discuss any of the matters raised in our response we would be pleased to do so. Please contact George Lees at [email protected] / 01738 44417. PART 1. CONTEXT AND APPROACH TAKEN TO ASSESSMENT Background 1. In late spring 2018 SNH were invited to participate as part of a Project Steering group to input to the next Sectoral Plan for Offshore Wind Energy by Marine Scotland. SNH landscape advisors with Marine Energy team colleagues recognised this as a real opportunity to manage on-going, planned change from offshore wind at the strategic and regional level, to safeguard nationally important protected landscapes and distinctive coastal landscape character. It also reflected our ethos of encouraging well designed sustainable development of the right scale in the right place and as very much part of early engagement.

  • Editor's Preface
    EDITOR'S PREFACE 'Firthlands' embraces those eastern lowlands clustered around the Dor­ noch, Cromarty, Beauly and Inner Moray Firths. Firthlands of Ross and Sutherland focuses more particularly on the gentle and fertile country around the Dornoch and Cromarty Firths- from Golspie and Loch Fleet in the north, to Bonar Bridge, Tain and the Easter Ross peninsula, across to Cromarty and the Black Isle, and up-firth to Dingwall and Muir of Ord. Of the twelve contrasting chapters, one provides a broad geological background to the area and highlights landscape features as they have evolved through time- the Great Glen and Helmsdale Faults, glacially­ deepened and drowned river valleys, raised beaches, wave-formed shingle barriers. And it is the underlying geology that gave rise to the shape of early habitational and communications networks, to the Brora coal-mines and to the spa waters of Strathpeffer, to stone and sand and gravel and peat for extraction, to the nature and balance of agricultural practice, to the oil and gas fields off the coast. Such economic activity is most apparent for relatively recent times, so that six chapters concentrate on the seventeenth to early twentieth cen­ turies. Some explore trade and family links across to Moray and the Baltic, as well as with other parts of Scotland and beyond; others concentrate on changes in settlement patterns, agriculture and stock-rearing, both in the firthlands and their highland hinterland; yet others are more concerned with a particularly rich architectural heritage.In each case, there is a weave between Highlander and Lowlander, spiced with the ever-increasing exposure of the north to southern influences and pressures.

  • Painting Time: the Highland Journals of John Francis Campbell of Islay
    SCOTTISH ARCHIVES 2013 Volume 19 © The Scottish Records Association Painting Time: The Highland Journals of John Francis Campbell of Islay Anne MacLeod This article examines sketches and drawings of the Highlands by John Francis Campbell of Islay (1821–85), who is now largely remembered for his contribution to folklore studies in the north-west of Scotland. An industrious polymath, with interests in archaeology, ethnology and geological science, Campbell was also widely travelled. His travels in Scotland and throughout the world were recorded in a series of journals, meticulously assembled over several decades. Crammed with cuttings, sketches, watercolours and photographs, the visual element within these volumes deserves to be more widely known. Campbell’s drawing skills were frequently deployed as an aide-memoire or functional tool, designed to document his scientific observations. At the same time, we can find within the journals many pioneering and visually appealing depictions of upland and moorland scenery. A tension between documenting and illuminating the hidden beauty of the world lay at the heart of Victorian aesthetics, something the work of this gentleman amateur illustrates to the full. Illustrated travel diaries are one of the hidden treasures of family archives and manuscript collections. They come in many shapes and forms: legible and illegible, threadbare and richly bound, often illustrated with cribbed engravings, hasty sketches or careful watercolours. Some mirror their published cousins in style and layout, and were perhaps intended for the print market; others remain no more than private or family mementoes. This paper will examine the manuscript journals of one Victorian scholar, John Francis Campbell of Islay (1821–85).

  • S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It
    3 S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It is probably true to say that the most enduring aspect of Norse place-names in the Hebrides, if we expect settlement names, has been the toponymy of the sea coast. This is perhaps not surprising, when we consider the importance of the sea and the seashore in the economy of the islands throughout history. The interplay of agriculture and fishing has contributed in no small measure to the great variety of toponymic terms which are to be found in the islands. Moreover, the broken nature of the island coasts, and the variety of scenery which they afford, have ensured the survival of a great number of coastal terms, both in Gaelic and Norse. The purpose of this paper, then, is to examine these terms with a Norse content in the hope of assessing the importance of the two languages in the various islands concerned. The distribution of Norse names in the Hebrides has already attracted scholars like Oftedal and Nicolaisen, who have concen­ trated on establis'hed settlement names, such as the village names of Lewis (OftedaI1954) and the major Norse settlement elements (Nicolaisen, S.H.R. 1969). These studies, however, have limited themselves to settlement names, although both would recognise that the less important names also merit study in an intensive way. The field-work done by the Scottish Place Name Survey, and localised studies like those done by MacAulay (TGSI, 1972) have gone some way to rectifying this omission, but the amount of material available is enormous, and it may be some years yet before it is assembled in a form which can be of use to scholar­ ship.
