Westering Home to Islay Big storm, Saligo Bay, Islay 24x36 WESTERING HOME TO ISLAY WESTERING HOME WESTERING HOME is a famous Scottish Song which takes me back to my Chorus childhood in the 1950’s when my family and Aunts and Uncles and Cousins Westering Home, and a song in the air, got together at New Year and sung till ‘The Bells’. Light in the eye and it’s goodbye to care. Fiddles .. Piano and Mouthie sufficed – no TV then ! Laughter o’ love, and a welcoming there, Isle of my heart, my own one. The song we always sang was Westering Home … a song about Ileachs who have travelled far away from home to make a life, but dream about going 1 Tell me o’ lands o’ the Orient gay, back. Speak o’ the riches and joys o’ Cathay; Eh, but it’s grand to be wakin’ ilk day So this is what the exhibition is about … The love of a place .. and that To find yourself nearer to Islay. feeling we all sometimes have … about being drawn to returning home to our ‘roots’ .. a feeling that doesn’t leave .. especially if family are still there 2 at home .. and especially if that place is superbly beautiful ! Where are the folk like the folk o’ the west ? Canty and couthy and kindly, the best. ISLAY is a most beautiful Isle .. QUEEN OF THE HEBRIDES … they say. There I would hie me and there I would rest At hame wi’ my ain folk in Islay. I never get bored of painting ISLA as its called. 3 It’s ever changing light from Sun to Storm draws me more and more. Now I’m at home and at home I do lay Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay I’ll hop a good ship and be on my way I’ll never forget March 2006 when I took the early ferry from KENNACRAIG on what turned out to be a most beautiful day with a most fantastic light And bring back my fortune to Islay. that I have never seen before or since ! Most of the day it went from sun to heavy snowstorms .. absolutely Written by Sir Hugh S. Roberton in the 1920’s, wonderful! possibly derived from the Irish Gaelic Song ‘Trasna na dTonnta No wonder Ileachs always want to return to ISLA. The tune is a modified version of the traditional ‘Mucking o’ Geordie’s Byre.’ Dr. John Lowrie Morrison OBE Sir Hugh Roberton was the founder of the Glasgow Orpheus Choir.

COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary Islay barnacle goose roost survey 2013/2014 Commissioned Report No. 896 Project No: 14469 Contractor: RPS Ecology Year of publication: 2016 Keywords Islay; Branta leucopsis; roost; feeding areas; flyways. Background RPS Ecology undertook a survey programme of Greenland barnacle geese Branta leucopsis on Islay in winter 2013/14 to investigate goose movements to and from roosts sites on the island, three of which are designated as Special Protection Areas (SPAs) for this species. Main findings Data collected in winter 2013/14 suggest that barnacle geese are primarily utilising the three SPA locations as roost sites, but other satellite roost sites have been identified, and confirmed. Linkage between the three SPA roosts and feeding areas is discussed and certain clear flyways highlighted. Broadly, these linkages were suggested a number of years ago by Percival (1991) and it seems that overall, even with a substantially increased population that barnacle geese are creatures of habit and use similar roosts, feeding areas and flyways from year to year.

Summary The Inner Hebridean islands of Islay and Jura are a joy to visit in any season, and our June visit was no exception. We enjoyed generally great weather, turquoise seas and white sand, colourful Yellow Irises and great bird and mammal sightings. Highlights included the fabulous views of Hen Harriers, White-tailed Eagles, Chough, Great Northern Divers and Corn Crake, Otter, Red Deer and Hares, Marsh Fritillary and Large Heath butterflies and the various orchid species, especially the Northern Marsh Orchids and the Greater and Lesser Butterfly Orchids. It was also a treat to be able to watch the sea from the rooms in the hotel, where we were made very welcome. Day 1 Monday 14th June Kennacraig – Port Askaig - Port Ellen Seven of the group members were picked up from by Glasgow Station and the other two from the Stonefield Hotel just outside Tarbert, nearer Kennacraig Ferry Terminal. We left Glasgow and drove up the side of Loch Lomond, the sun at times breaking through the grey cloud and occasional Swallows flying overhead. Verges were bright with buttercups (Ranunculus spp.) and Ox-eye Daisies (Leucanthemum vulgare), and bushes of Gorse (Ulex europaeus) and Common Broom (Cytisus scoparius).

Car rental is easy and can be arranged online. However, the Jacobite cause was not dead. Through marriage the Stuarts of Bute became associated with the MacDonalds of Sanda who held the lease to nearly all of the farms in south Kintyre. Click here for more information, and a full size image of Fincharn Castle Photo courtesy of Pat Kight. The closest analogy I can give to the mediaeval land-assessment system is the rating process which previously applied to all domestic property in Britain — and which still applies to commercial property. The silver element was less but the rents in kind were converted at the rate of 26s 8d 2m per mart, 16d per stone meal, 16d per stone cheese, 2s per wedder, 4d per goose and 4d per hen. Broadly speaking this is true. Their values add 3m 1s 8d to Kildalton new total c. The Stuarts of Bute had through marriage established ties with the MacDonalds of Sanda in Kintyre as well as the Campbells of Argyll which thus permitted the acceptance of the MacGilchrists into the regions influenced by those families. In addition a davach was given in the Rhinns, two davachs in Oa, two davachs in Largie and a davach centred on Kintour.

The Finlaggan Archaeological Project is the result. The initial reasons for choosing Finlaggan was that it was an important medieval centre, the study of which might lead to a greater understanding of a region of Scotland, little studied and understood. The Museums contain important material from the medieval West Highlands and such a project might help to provide more information on it, and more objects for display.

  • The Seal Matrix of Sir John Campbell and the Struggle for Dunyvaig Castle on the Isle of Islay Steven Mithen1,*, Darko Maricevič 1́& Roddy Regan2
    Antiquity 2020 Vol. 94 (374): e12, 1–8 https://doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2020.15 Project Gallery The seal matrix of Sir John Campbell and the struggle for Dunyvaig Castle on the Isle of Islay Steven Mithen1,*, Darko Maricevič 1́& Roddy Regan2 1 Department of Archaeology, University of Reading, UK 2 Independent Researcher and Archaeologist, Kilmartin, UK * Author for correspondence (Email: [email protected]) The great feud between the clans Campbell and MacDonald in the early seventeenth century AD was part of a power struggle for control of Islay, the seat of the Lord of the Isles, and encompassed wider political, economic and religious change in the region and beyond from the sixteenth century. The discovery of a seal matrix found during excavations at Dunyvaig Castle reveals the personal story of Sir John Campbell of Cawdor (1576–1642) in these broader political events. Keywords: Scotland, Hebrides, post-medieval, seal matrix Introduction Dunyvaig (Dùn Naomhaig) Castle (site number NR44NW 24, National Grid Reference NR 40593 45487) occupies the tip of the promontory on the east side of Lagavulin Bay, Isle of Islay (Figure 1). The castle survives in the form of a tower building, an inner and outer courtyard—the latter with at least five internal buildings (buildings A–E)—and a ‘sea gate’ (Figure 2). While the origins of the castle are very likely earlier, the current visible works are thought to date from the sixteenth century with later additions and repairs (Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland 1984). The castle was one of the major strongholds of the MacDonalds of Dunyvaig and the Glens.
