  • Case Study 9 - Scotland North Coast

    Case Study 9 - Scotland North Coast

    Case Study 9 - Scotland North Coast 9.1. Introduction The North coast is 560km in length, running from the north-west at Cape Wrath eastwards to Duncansby Head and John O’Groats, with the Orkney Isles lying close offshore, and the Shetland Isles further into the North Sea. Its characteristics are varied with the North Sea interacting for the most part with rocky sea cliffs interspersed by small bays. As one of the least inhabited areas of Scotland there are a small number of abandoned villages and ruins and a few ports and fishing villages, which have stood the test of time, forced down to the coast by the rugged Highlands of the hinterland. The coastline is more structured along this part, characterised by a series of headlands, small bays and sandy beaches - a product of erosion themselves - acting as a natural buffer and providing important dune habitats for flora and fauna (Mendum et al., 20011). There is a small but eclectic mix of socio-cultural development in this area, retaining a distinctive Nordic influence whilst including the resting and submission point of wartime enemies, remnants of villages created or dispersed by the Highland Clearances, a chain of fifteenth century seaside mansions and a retired nuclear reactor (Barling et al., 19962). 9.1.1. Geology & Geomorphology The structure of the coastline is relatively solid in comparison to the fragmented western coast, with 74% (416km) comprised of hard or mixed geology and only 1% (7km) of soft coastline (Fitton et al., 20173). The geology of the area runs in strikes from south-west to north-east changing along the coastline from west to east.

    Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol. 22 : Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies 1 Vol. 22: Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh (East Sutherland & Caithness) Author: Kurt C. Duwe 2nd Edition January, 2012 Executive Summary This publication is part of a series dealing with local communities which were predominantly Gaelic- speaking at the end of the 19 th century. Based mainly (but not exclusively) on local population census information the reports strive to examine the state of the language through the ages from 1881 until to- day. The most relevant information is gathered comprehensively for the smallest geographical unit pos- sible and provided area by area – a very useful reference for people with interest in their own communi- ty. Furthermore the impact of recent developments in education (namely teaching in Gaelic medium and Gaelic as a second language) is analysed for primary school catchments. Gaelic once was the dominant means of conversation in East Sutherland and the western districts of Caithness. Since the end of the 19 th century the language was on a relentless decline caused both by offi- cial ignorance and the low self-confidence of its speakers. A century later Gaelic is only spoken by a very tiny minority of inhabitants, most of them born well before the Second World War. Signs for the future still look not promising. Gaelic is still being sidelined officially in the whole area. Local council- lors even object to bilingual road-signs. Educational provision is either derisory or non-existent. Only constant parental pressure has achieved the introduction of Gaelic medium provision in Thurso and Bonar Bridge.

The Power of the Church. IN almost every age there has been a diversity of opinion as to the power of the Church of Christ on earth. This diversity of opinion is brought very prominently to our notice in the history of the Church in our own land since the time of the Reformation. Romanists claim that the Church is above the III State and that the Pope has the right to depose Kings and remove governments, in virtue of his claim to be the head of the Church. Erastians maintain that the Church is the creature of the State, and that the power of discipline and government in the Church i is committed to the office-bearens of the Church by the civil magistrate.

The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

Kildonan - named after St. Donan who established his monastery at Suisgill; in the middle of the glen was the home of the McHamish Gunns from the 15th century up to the Clearances in 1819. The original church of Kildonan probably dated from about 1100 and contained the mortuary chapel of the Gunn chiefs at its western end. This was replaced by the present church built in 1788. Down the river from the church is Killearnan the seat of the McHamish Gunns for over 200 years until it was destroyed bv fire in 1690. Nothing remains of the original house. Kinbrace - at the top of Kildonan is said to have been named after the Crowner’s brooch.
