The North Orkney Population History Project
Historical Demography, Oral History, Settlement Archaeology, and Landscape Ecology: The North Orkney Population History Project Please Do Not Cite or Reference – Email [email protected] for a final version of the paper to be presented on July 10, 2008 Tim Murtha, Pat Johnson, Jim Wood, Stephen Matthews, and Julia Jennings Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802 Corey Sparks University of Texas, San Antonio European Population Conference Barcelona, Spain July 9‐12, 2008 Presentation Date: July 10, 2008 (4:30‐6:00pm) Draft Date: June 23, 2008 (tm) July 1, 2008 Abstract: Between 1750 and 2000, the northern islands of Orkney (Scotland) underwent a major cycle of population growth and decline. The modern demographic transition, which contributed significantly to population decline over the past century, was atypical in several respects: it was late, the decline in fertility preceded that in mortality, and the transition involved massive net out‐migration, resulting in progressive depopulation. The North Orkney Population History Project is investigating these demographic changes within the context of the transition from near‐subsistence farming to modern, commercialized livestock rearing. Unusual for historical demography, we are linking parish records, census data, and vital registers to historical archaeological information on houses, farmsteads, and the past environment, and ethnographic/oral history material on local people’s perceptions of change over the past 80 years. Using data from the islands of Westray and Sanday, we compare the spatial distribution of households using multi‐scale point pattern analysis to ascertain the extent to which surviving archaeological remains can capture the historically documented settlement pattern of the pre‐modern demographic regime.

Orkney Outer North Isles Transport Options STAG Appraisal
STAR 2015 Stephen Canning, Neil Macrae and Laura Cromarty Orkney Outer North Isles Transport Options STAG Appraisal Stephen Canning, Peter Brett Associates – [email protected] Dr Scott Leitham, Peter Brett Associates – [email protected] Neil Macrae, Highlands & Islands Transport Partnership – [email protected] Laura Cromarty, Orkney Islands Council – [email protected] ABSTRACT The Outer North Isles of the Orkney Archipelago (Eday, North Ronaldsay, Papa Westray, Sanday, Stronsay and Westray) are connected to the Orkney Mainland by a combination of Ro-Ro & Lo-Lo ferry services and scheduled air services. The current air & ferry infrastructure (ferries, planes & landside) are coming to the end of their working life. Recognising the need to modernise and develop the network, Orkney Islands Council and HITRANS commissioned a STAG appraisal of future options for the Outer North Isles. This paper will provide an overview of this multi-modal STAG Part 1 study, which balanced the transport connectivity and capacity needs of islanders with the cost to government of providing a sophisticated transport network for less than 2,000 people. Following a detailed baselining and consultation exercise, an in-depth STAG Pre-Appraisal Report was prepared, setting out the problems, issues, opportunities and constraints at the network and individual island level. An important innovation on this study was the use of Transport Scotland’s Ferries Routes & Services Methodology (RSM) as the basis of the Transport Planning Objectives. The RSM provides a needs-based determination of the level of connectivity required by an island and thus acted as a robust basis for objective setting.

It has a statutory duty to provide an economic and efficient system for the distribution of electricity, and to ensure that its assets are maintained to ensure a safe, secure and reliable supply to customers. Faults have been identified on the existing submarine power cables between Eday – Westray and Sanday – Eday in the Orkney Islands. The 33kV Eday – Westray cable faulted on 7th August 2020 affecting supplies to 977 customers on Eday, Sanday, Stronsay and Shapinsay. On 2nd November 2020 the Eday to Sanday 33kV submarine electricity cable faulted affecting 853 customers on Sanday, Stronsay and Shapinsay. SHEPD have identified that both cables need to be replaced. Hereafter, the Eday – Westray and Sanday – Eday cable replacement installation corridors will be collectively referred to as the ’installation corridors’. A Marine Environmental Appraisal (MEA) was developed by Xodus Group Ltd, to support SHEPD’s Marine Licence Applications to conduct emergency cable replacements within the installation corridors.

Place Names in Orkney from 16Th- and 17Th-Century Maps
Place names in Orkney from 16th- and 17th-century maps Lachlan of Cromarty Ian McIntosh [email protected] For this project, I recorded the Orkney Island placenames found on maps published in the second half of the sixteenth century and the rst half of the seventeenth century. I compared those spellings to modern Ordinance Survey maps. Nearly all placenames in Orkney are of Scandinavian origin, and very few are of Gaelic origin. Norse migration from the North completely superseded the previous, Pictish inhabitants of the islands. Especially characteristic are suxes of Old Norse origin; -ay (meaning `island'), -holm (meaning `round topped or grassy islet') and -skerry (meaning `rocky islet'). The maps I have organized the period maps at my disposal into two categories: those based upon early sixteenth century data, and those based upon the survey of Timothy Pont in the 1580s and 1590s. Maps in the former category were published in the late 16th C and very early 17th C For simplicity sake, I refer to these maps as 16th-C Maps. Maps of the latter category were all published in the 17th C, after Pont's death. I refer to these maps as 17th-C Maps. 16th C maps In the 16th-C Maps category are the maps of Abraham Ortelius, Gerhard Mercator, and John Speed. These maps are based upon documentation completed in the early sixteenth century, which is now lost. In his article, A History of Orkney Maps, John Chesters theorizes that Ortelius' map, circa 1575, was based upon an early draft of Gerhard Mercator's.
