  • Cultural Heritage
    VIKING WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT 1 3 . CULTURAL HERITAGE 13.1 INTRODUCTION AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by BMT Cordah on behalf of Shetland Islands Council and Viking Energy Partnership to undertake an archaeological assessment of the proposed Viking Wind Farm in Shetland to further inform the planning process. The proposed development will include the construction of a wind farm, comprising 150 turbines and a road system consisting of operational tracks, borrow pits and double and single width tracks. Cartographic and bibliographic sources indicate that the area of the proposed wind farm has been subject to extensive human activity from prehistoric times to the present. Circa 89 sites have been identified within the vicinity of the application area. The majority of these sites date to the post-medieval crofting period and comprise the remains of upstanding farm buildings, houses and mills. Several sites potentially dating to the prehistoric period have been located within the proposed development area and include standing stones, cairns and a possible Bronze Age settlement. A number of prehistoric findspots are also known within the proposed development area; with a number of stone axes, knifes and adzes being recovered, primarily from the Kergord and Delting Quadrants. Included in the 89 sites identified in the immediate vicinity of the application area are one Scheduled Ancient Monument and one Category B Listed Building. Hill of Dale chambered cairn is located within the Delting Quadrant. Grobsness Haa, an 18 th century Category B Listed Building, is located within the Kergord quadrant. Assessment of the direct impacts upon sites known within the proposed development area has been based upon the turbine and access track layout provided by the client.

Objectives Many organisations, such as Scottish Water and energy companies, actively maintain and manage their own assets including their risk from flooding.

  • 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

He also wishes to thank Dr Derek Mcglashan at the University of Dundee for his advice on udal law, Dr Olivia Bragg at the University of Dundee for her advice on peat slides, and Professor Alistair Dawson at Coventry University for information on historic storms. In addition, he would also like to thank Dr David Cameron and David Okill of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency for their comments on the draft of this paper. Note This paper was issued in July 2003 and a copy given to Shetland Islands Council. Please note this is an edited version which omits details of certain specific areas of concern. Funding This research was made possible by funding from esure insurance services Ltd. Abstract Shetland is one of the stormiest places in Europe. The islands are very exposed to westerly gales from the North Atlantic and over the years the population has learned to ensure that the buildings are constructed to high standards of resilience. As a result, wind damage is rare and minor even in the strongest storms. The islands are therefore a good example of how resilient design and construction can reduce vulnerability to such an extent that the risk is minimised even in areas exposed to severe hazards. Key words: Shetland, storm, vulnerability, flood, climate change, insurance. Introduction The Shetland Islands, or Shetland2 is a group of islands, located 200km to the North of the British mainland.

The trip was planned in an incredibly professional, expert way that was seamless.” - Peter, New York © AAWH Dear Carleton College Alumni and Friends, I invite you to join Carleton College geologist Clint Cowan ’83 on this unique hiking tour in Scotland’s little-visited Orkney and Shetland Islands! This is the perfect opportunity toexplore on foot Scotland’s Northern Isles’ amazing wealth of geological and archaeological sites. Their rocks tell the whole story, spanning almost three billion years. On Shetland you will walk on an ancient ocean floor, explore an extinct volcano, and stroll across shift- ing sands, all in the space of a day. In contrast, Orkney is made up largely of sedimentary rocks, one of the best collections of these sediments to be seen anywhere in the world. Both archipelagoes also have an amazing wealth of archaeological sites dating back 5,000 years. This geological and archaeolog- ical saga is worth the telling, and nowhere else can the evidence be seen in © AAWH more glorious a setting.
