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. -

What Kind of Contact Do the Names Really Point
Among Dimons and Papeys: What kind ofcontact do the names really point to? Peder Gammeltoft The Viking Age and its ilnpact on the North Atlantic area have interested historians, archaeologists and onOlnasts alike for well over a century now. Questions such as: "When did the Vikings arrive?", "Where did they first settle?" and "What happened to the original inhabitants?", have been central to the discussion right from beginning. The focus of this paper will be on the last of the above tnentioned questions, nalnely the relationship of the incoming Scandinavians with the already existing populations. Since I work on place-names, I shall address the issue frotn an onomastic and linguistic perspective. Place-nanles of Scandinavian origin number tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands in the Scottish Isles, the Faeroes and Iceland. The vast majority of these, however, cannot reveal anything about the contact between the Scandinavians and the indigenous populations. Therefore, I shall focus on two name-types, nalnely the place-nalnes like Dbnon and the place-natnes in Pap-. The reason for focussing on the Dbnons and the Pap-natnes is that these two name-types are generally taken to be proof of Scandinavian Gaelic contact. In the following, I shall attelnpt to weigh the Dimons and Papeys against each other and see what types of contact they reflect from an onotnastic point ofview. 1. The place-name type Dimon. It has generally been assutned that the place-natne construction DiJl10n is derived froln a cOlnpound of the Gaelic words di 'two' and 111uinn, f. 'top, back', Iiterally meaning: 'The place with the two tops'. -

Shetland and Orkney Island-Names – a Dynamic Group Peder Gammeltoft
Shetland and Orkney Island-Names – A Dynamic Group Peder Gammeltoft 1. Introduction Only when living on an island does it become clear how important it is to know one‟s environment in detail. This is no less true for Orkney and Shetland. Being situated in the middle of the North Atlantic, two archipelagos whose land-mass consist solely of islands, holms and skerries, it goes without saying that such features are central, not only to local life and perception, but also to travellers from afar seeking shelter and safe passage. Island, holms and skerries appear to be fixed points in an ever changing watery environment – they appear to be constant and unchanging – also with regard to their names. And indeed, several Scandinavian researchers have claimed that the names of islands constitute a body of names which, by virtue of constant usage and relevance over time, belong among the oldest layers of names (cf. e.g. Hald 1971: 74-75; Hovda 1971: 124-148). Archaeological remains on Shetland and Orkney bear witness to an occupation of these archipelagos spanning thousands of years, so there can be little doubt that these areas have been under continuous utilisation by human beings for a long time, quite a bit longer, in fact, than our linguistic knowledge can take us back into the history of these isles. So, there is nothing which prevents us from assuming that names of islands, holms and skerries may also here carry some of the oldest place-names to be found in the archipelagos. Since island-names are often descriptive in one way or another of the locality bearing the name, island-names should be able to provide an insight into the lives, strategies and needs of the people who eked out an existence in bygone days in Shetland and Orkney. -

As Mr J Dickson and Mr D Thomson were in attendance to discuss their planning applications, the Chairman welcomed them both to the meeting and brought this agenda item forward. 2010/16/PCD Erect a 2.5kw micro wind turbine on a 6.5m mast, Hvidahus, Brae by James T Dickson. Mr Dickson explained that the main purpose of the wind turbine is to provide heat to the house. The turbine positioned at the front of the property means it will get the wind from the east and west, there will be no flicker effect and it’s the least obtrusive to the neighbours. He went on to say that the noise level is minimal and it’s to be situated 4m from the house and 17m from the road. -
Local Landscape Areas- Draft
Shetland Local Development Plan Consultation Draft 2014 Supplementary Guidance Landscape Areas Local DRAFT LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Supplementary Guidance - Local Landscape Areas- Draft The Shetland Local Development Plan (the Plan), together with any Supplementary Guidance, sets out the policies and criteria against which planning applications submitted in Shetland will be considered. This Supplementary Guidance sets out detailed policy advice to help you meet the requirements of the Plan. It is therefore recommended that it is read in conjunction with the policies in the Plan and any other Supplementary Guidance relevant to the type of development proposed. The purpose of this Supplementary Guidance (SG) is to provide additional information and maps of the proposed Local Landscape Areas. Introduction The purpose of the Local Landscape Areas is to ensure sympathetic siting and design of new development within the Local Landscape Areas, (LLA). It is not the intention of the Council to prevent development, but to encourage appropriate consideration of the landscape. The introduction of Local Landscape Areas will help to protect and enhance some of Shetlands unique environment and may provide direction for access and tourism. The information used to devise the Local Landscape Areas SG has been produced from the research conducted by Land Use Consultants. The full report including the research methodology can be seen in Shetland Islands Local Landscape Designation Review. The proposed Local Landscape Areas are; 1. Ronas Hill 2. Nibon and Mangaster 3. Vementry and West Burrafirth 4. Papa Stour and Sandness 5. Walls and Vaila 6. Culswick and Westerwick 7. Weisdale 8. Scat Ness and Sumburgh Head 9. -
Supplementary Material Study Area Clift Sound Lies South of Shetland
Supplementary Material Study area Clift Sound lies south of Shetland, the islands of Trondra and East Burra to the west. It has steep- sides and a relatively unrestricted geomorphology (Fig. 1a). Two main types of soil are present in the catchment of Clift Sound: humus-iron podzols cover the islands of East Burra and Trondra, while peaty soils dominate the eastern coast of Clift Sound. Winds are generally from the southwest and, due to the geometry of the sound and the surrounding highlands, can be channelled and result in intensified currents. Tidal energy can also be channelled into more vigorous currents (Cefas 2007a). Sand Sound is located in the southwest of Shetland (Fig. 1a) and comprises three areas: the head of the voe, the inner basin and the outer basin. The head of the voe, a sheltered area, receives freshwater from a significant number of rivers draining the surrounding land. Three main types of soil characterise this area: peaty gleis, peaty podzols and peaty rankers. Here, the voe is very shallow and drying can occur in its eastern and western periphery (Cefas 2007b, 2008b). In contrast, the rest of the voe is much deeper. The inner basin gently slopes away reaching more than 20m at its maximum depth; drying can still occur where this basin meets the head of the voe (Cefas 2007b). The outer basin has steep sides, is 42 m deep at its deepest point and completely open to sea. A shallow sill divides the inner from the outer basins (Cefas 2007b) Busta Voe, Olna Firth and Aith Voe are part of a major inlet on the southern coastline of St Magnus Bay on the west coast of Shetland (Fig.1a).
