X. Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China Keywords: Shetland Islands; Scotland; United Kingdom; Atlantic Ocean; data encyclopedia The Shetland Islands of Scotland is located from 59°30′24″N to 60°51′39″N, from 0°43′25″W to 2°7′3″W, between the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean (Figure 1, Figure 2). Shetland Islands extend 157 km from the northernmost Out Stack Isle to the southernmost Fair Isle. The Islands are 300 km to the west coast of Norway in its east, 291 km to the Faroe Islands in its northwest and 43 km to the North Ronaldsay in its southwest[1–2]. The Main- land is the main island in the Shetland Islands, and 168 km to the Scotland in its south. The Shetland Islands are consisted of 1,018 islands and islets, in which the area of each island or islet is more than 6 m2. The total area of the Shetland Islands is 1,491.33 km2, and the coastline is 2,060.13 km long[1]. There are only 23 islands with each area more than 1 km2 in the Shetland Islands (Table 1), account- ing for 2% of the total number of islands and 98.67% of the total area of the islands.

ISBN - 1-899098-05-4 Acknowledgements Denis Crampton for enduring several discussions in which the concept of this book was developed. Also Duncan Hornby for information on Dorset’s Old Harry stacks and Mick Fowler for much help with some of his southern and northern stack attacks. Mike Vetterlein contributed indirectly as have Rick Cummins of Rock Addiction, Rab Anderson and Bruce Kerr. Andy Long from Lerwick, Shetland. has contributed directly with a lot of the hard information about Shetland. Thanks are also due to Margaret of the Alpine Club library for assistance in looking up old journals. In late 1996 Ben Linton, Ed Lynch-Bell and Ian Brodrick undertook the mammoth scanning and OCR exercise needed to transfer the paper text back into computer form after the original electronic version was lost in a disk crash. This was done in order to create a world-wide web version of the guide. Mike Caine of the Manx Fell and Rock Club then helped with route information from his Manx climbing web site.

  • Geography, Background Information, Civil Parishes and Islands
    Geography – Background Information – Civil Parishes and Islands Civil Parishes Geography Branch first began plotting postcode boundaries in 1973. In addition to the creation of postcode boundaries, Geography Branch also assigned each postcode to an array of Scottish boundary datasets including civil parish boundaries. From 1845 to 1930, civil parishes formed part of Scotland’s local government system. The parishes, which had their origins in the ecclesiastical parishes of the Church of Scotland, often overlapped the then existing county boundaries, largely because they reflected earlier territorial divisions. Parishes have had no direct administrative function in Scotland since 1930. In 1930, all parishes were grouped into elected district councils. These districts were abolished in 1975, and the new local authorities established in that year often cut across civil parish boundaries. In 1996, there was a further re-organisation of Scottish local government, and a number of civil parishes now lie in two or more council areas. There are 871 civil parishes in Scotland. The civil parish boundary dataset is the responsibility of Geography Branch. The initial version of the boundaries was first created in the mid-1960s. The boundaries were plotted on to Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 maps using the written descriptions of the parishes. In the late 1980s Geography Branch introduced a Geographic Information System (called ‘GenaMap’) to its working practices. At this point the manually-plotted civil parish boundaries were digitised using the GenaMap system. In 2006, GenaMap was replaced by ESRI’s ArcGIS product, and the civil parish boundaries were migrated to the new system. At this stage, the Ordnance Survey digital product MasterMap was made available as the background map for Geography Branch’s digitising requirements.

T)OPULARLY, the lighthouse seems to be looked A upon as a modern invention, and if we con- sider it in its present form, completeness, and efficiency, we shall be justified in limiting its history to the last centuries but as soon as men to down two ; began go to the sea in ships, they must also have begun to ex- perience the need of beacons to guide them into secure channels, and warn them from hidden dangers, and the pressure of this need would be stronger in the night even than in the day. So soon as a want is man's invention hastens to it and strongly felt, supply ; we may be sure, therefore, that in the very earliest ages of civilization lights of some kind or other were introduced for the benefit of the mariner. It may very well be that these, at first, would be nothing more than fires kindled on wave-washed promontories, 10 LIGHTHOUSES OF ANTIQUITY.

  • Orkney and Shetland North Suthe
    Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Wave Energy in Scottish Waters 3 NORTH The North Region three Scoping Areas of Search. The Scoping Areas of Search are: Orkney and Shetland North Sutherland Coast North West of Cape Wrath 3.1 Resource Orkney and Shetland 3.1.1 Wave resource is strong in the sea space that holds the wave area of search between Orkney and Shetland; the mean annual wave power densities that can be expected at this area of search reach a maximum of 40.5 kWatt m-1 and a minimum of 18.76 kWatt m-2. Mean annual wind power densities are of 34.4 5 kWatt m-1 in this area. 3.1.2 Summer mean wave power density is of 10.9 kWatt m-1 and winter mean power density is six times that at 59 kWatt m-1 . 3.1.3 Annual mean significant wave height is 2.48 m. In the summer the mean significant wave height is 1.63 m and the same figure for winter is 3.36 m . 3.1.4 Within the area of search the resource is higher towards the north-western part and decreases in the areas closer to the shoreline. North West of Cape Wrath & North Sutherland Coast 3.1.5 Wave resource is strong in the wave area of search at the North West of Cape Wrath, the karger of the two areas included in the map. The mean annual wave power densities that can be expected reach a maximum of 46.04 kWatt m-1 and a minimum of 27.59 kWatt m-2.
