Ready to start milking later this month (October), Moorpark Dairy in South Bragar is the new undertaking of the Mackay family – with father Gordon leading the way and son Scott assisting. Previously working in the off-shore industry, Gordon is delighted with his latest career change: “The way the work in the North Sea was going you never knew really if your job was safe,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to start a dairy herd, so the way offshore went was the push I needed to get going with it!” Steadily preparing both the dairy buildings and livestock over the past few years, Moorpark Dairy is now getting ready to begin its fi rst milking this month – with the latest technology in the Manus milking parlour ensuring a premium product every time. “The new milk processing plant has been a large investment, with the bottling plant, pasteurizer, cream separator and homogenizer,” said Gordon. “The Manus milking parlour has the very latest technology for animal health essential for today. With individual cow monitoring, the herd has its own nutritionist from our feed supplier, so they are given the best feed rations available,” he continued. “The cows are also monitored with individual cow electronic collars and can be monitored from a mobile phone or offi ce computer. The computer system will also monitor the milking, so will pick up any problems that an individual cow may have.” As well as ensuring the best equipment, Gordon and Scott have also been keen to secure the best livestock and now boast a herd of pedigree Guernsey cows, originally from South Wales, as well as Ayrshire cows brought up from renowned farmers the Barr Family in Campbelltown. “We wanted something a bit more special for the island so Guernsey cattle was selected, with Ayrshire cattle, to give islanders a premium product at a price to match supermarkets, as much as we can delivered to their doorstep,” said Gordon.

  • Tickets for Troops Annual Review 2016
    TICKETS FOR TROOPS ANNUAL REVIEW 2016 The Sun Military Awards Nominees at Number 10 Downing Street: Tickets For Troops was nominated for ‘Support to Armed Forces’ FOREWORD Thanks to the tremendous philanthropy of our supporters and donors from the nation’s live sports and events industry, 2016 was another active year for Tickets For Troops. We worked closely with hundreds of ticketing professionals, agents, box offices, promoters, clubs, teams and many more groups to ensure our servicemen and women continued to enjoy the delights of the sporting, musical, theatrical and entertainment world. This wonderful generosity combined with some beavering away in the Tickets For Troops office ensured that we were able to distribute 152,652 complimentary tickets for 6,291 events to our military members. Half way through the year, we were delighted to welcome on board a new team of regional volunteers known as ambassadors who are responsible for helping to increase the number of donors in their respective regions. The volunteer opportunity attracted a large number of applications from all around the country and the overall standard was exceptionally high. It was humbling for the team to see how many people from within the forces community wanted to give something back to Tickets For Troops. The regional ambassadors are being managed by our newest employee Elisabeth Roberts - recruited on a part-time basis thanks to the Armed Forces Covenant Fund grant. We were sad to lose Anastasia Baker in October, she was a superb asset to the team with her excellent customer service manner and speedy ticket packaging skills - we wish her well for the future.

  • Chris Ryan on Behalf of 52 Lewis and Harris Businesses – 3 April 2008
    Submission from Chris Ryan on behalf of 52 Lewis and Harris businesses – 3 April 2008 Dear Sir/Madam 7-DAY FERRY SERVICES TO LEWIS & HARRIS The undersigned businesses, all based in the Western Isles, request that Sunday ferry services to Lewis & Harris should be introduced in the summer of 2008. This will be a necessary and long overdue development with the potential to improve the islands’ tourism industry in line with the Scottish Governments’ target of a 50% increase in tourism revenues. The proposed introduction of RET fares from October 2008 is also likely to result in increased demand and additional capacity will be needed to cope with peak season demand, particularly at weekends. However, our view as businesses is that Sunday services must be phased-in ahead of RET and that they should certainly be in place for summer 2008. Apart from the immediate boost for the local economy, this would give accommodation providers and tourism related businesses an indication of the response to weekend services and allow for business planning for the summer of 2009, which is the Year of Homecoming. Quite apart from the many social benefits, Sunday ferry services will make a major difference to the local economy by extending the tourist season, enabling businesses to work more efficiently and spreading visitor benefits throughout the islands. As a specific example, the Hebridean Celtic Festival, held in July, attracts over 15,000 people and contributes over £1m to the local economy. A Sunday ferry service would mean that many visitors to the festival would stay an extra night, enjoy all 4 –days of the festival and see more of the islands.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

  • Recovery of Human Remains at St Taran's and St Keith's Chapel, Taransay, Western Isles
    Recovery of human remains at St Taran’s and St Keith’s Chapel, Taransay, Western Isles Martin Cook and Mike Roy With contributions by Dawn McLaren, Ann MacSween and Kath McSweeney Overview A PROGRAMME of archaeological works was undertaken on Taransay, Harris, Western Isles (Figure 1), involving the removal of loose artefacts and a survey of the surrounding area. Artefacts including human bone were recovered from areas of erosion in the vicinity of cemeteries traditionally associated with St Taran’s and St Keith’s Chapels.1 Following particularly bad storms in January 2005, human remains were found to be eroding from a standing section below a cemetery traditionally associated with St Taran’s Chapel, Taransay, Harris, Western Isles (NGR: NG 0310 9914; Figure 1). Dr Mary MacLeod of the Western Isles Council collected loose material, and further identified five sites of interest which were under threat of coastal erosion.2 Although bones had previously been recorded in the area, the volume of eroded material led Dr MacLeod to contact Historic Scotland, and request assistance. AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned under the terms of the Historic Scotland Human Remains Call-Off Contract to undertake the 1 AOC Archaeology Group is most grateful to the landowner, Mr Angus MacKay for permission to excavate, for the use of accommodation and for ferrying facilities. Alan Hunter-Blair worked through horrendous conditions to complete the survey and excavation. John Gooder managed the project fieldwork while Ciara Clarke managed post-excavation works. John Barber provided helpful comments to the draft text. Advice was kindly provided by Dr Mary MacLeod of the Western Isles Council and Mr Patrick Ashmore, Head of Archaeology, Historic Scotland.

  • Èistibh – Teaching Notes
    Èistibh by Anna Frater Lesson focus Choose from the following activities to build your own Level Three or Four poetry lessons. The writing activities could be adapted for Senior students. The poet and her work Born in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis in 1967, Anne Frater was brought up in the village of Upper Bayble in the Point district of the island. Scottish Gaelic is her first language, and the language in which her poetry is written. Her poems were first published in Gairm magazine (1986) while she was a student at Glasgow University, from which she graduated with an honours degree in Celtic and French in 1990. After a year at Jordanhill College training as a secondary teacher, she returned to Glasgow University and was awarded a Ph.D. in 1995 for her thesis on Scottish Gaelic Women’s Poetry up to 1750. Her work has appeared in two collections, Fon t- Slige / Under the Shell (1995), which won the literature prize for adult books at the Blairgowrie Mod in 1996, and Cridh Creige (2017). She worked in the media in various capacities (including researcher, subtitler and scriptwriter) before taking up a post for the University of the Highlands and Islands at Lews Castle College, where she now teaches Gaelic literature. She is married with two children. Credit Anne Frater, from ‘Cridhe Creige / Rock Heart’, Acair: 2017. The poem is available at http://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poetry/poems/******* Opening up the poem (reading and discussion) Key questions (LIT 3-16a / LIT 4-16a, LIT 3-17a / LIT 4-17a, LIT 3-18a / LIT 4-18a, ENG 3-19a / LIT 4-19a) What is the poet’s attitude to the news? Why does the poet think we should do with our ‘devices’? What two things does the poet think will happen when we do this? What kind of ‘voice’ do you think the poet means in the second last line? The poem exists in two languages – the Gaelic original, and an English translation, made by the author.
