PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

Red-rumped Swallow, possible subspecies japonica/daurica, Talisker, Skye, Skye & Lochalsh, 17 –29 June 2011. © Ian Fulton Scottish Birds Records Committee report on rare birds in Scotland, 2011 R.Y. McGowan, C.J. McInerny & T. ap Rheinallt on behalf of the Scottish Birds Records Committee This is the fourth annual report of the Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC), covering 2011. Previous reports have covered the periods 2005-08, 2009 and 2010 (ap Rheinallt et al . 2010a, 2010b, 2011, 2012). Several changes to record assessment have been agreed this year. Great White Egret Ardea alba , Rough-legged Buzzard Buteo lagopus and Water Pipit Anthus spinoletta are now considered sufficiently numerous that assessment is delegated to a local level for records from 1 January 2013. Continental Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis will be assessed locally from the same date (ap Rheinallt et al . 2012). Similarly, due to an increase in occurrences in Britain, the British Birds Rarities Committee (BBRC) will no longer assess records of Glossy Ibis Plegadis falcinellus (http://www.bbrc.org.uk/514); accordingly, from 1 January 2013 records of Glossy Ibis will be reviewed by SBRC. For a summary of these changes, see Appendix 2. In this report we give details of a late acceptance of an Egyptian Goose Alopochen aegyptiaca in Orkney from 2008, which becomes Scotland’s first. In 2011, two species had their highest ever annual totals. There were three Purple Herons Ardea purpurea , which had not been recorded for nine years, and five Black Kites Milvus migrans , which have been more or less annual in recent years.

  • Island Place-Names
    Island Place-names Dr Jacob King The names of Scotland’s islands are a fascinating window into the country’s linguistic landscape; the languages of the Gaels, the Vikings and the Angles have all left their mark across the north-western seaboard. The Earliest names Evidence from historical sources suggest there may have existed an unknown language in Scotland prior to the arrival of the later, historic languages. This language might have been utterly forgotten were it not for a handful of names of rivers, islands and regions. Many theories have been put forward as to the identity of the language from which these names derive and what the names may have originally meant, but the jury is still out on the majority of them. Names such as Mull, Unst and Uist all defy analysis. Likewise, Islay is from Gaelic Ìle, the -s- in the English form was inserted on analogy with words like isle and island, but its original meaning has nonetheless been lost. Lewis appears to be from a Norse word Ljóðhús meaning ‘song house’; this is rather an odd name to be given to an island, maybe the Norse adapted it from an earlier unknown language? Norse Names At least in the north, the first historical people to make their linguistic mark on the Scottish seaboard were the Norse or the Vikings. Being a seafaring people, it is no surprise that most Norse place-names appear round the coast of Northern Britain. In general, island names ending in -aigh, -ey, -ay and -a are of Norse origin, reflecting the Norse word for island, øy.

  • Atlantic Coast (Wester Ross) Project Tourism And
    Atlantic Coast (Wester Ross) Project Topic Paper: Tourism and recreation 1. Introduction This paper is one of a series prepared to help inform the future use and development of the coast and inshore waters of Loch Broom, Little Loch Broom, the Summer Isles and Gruinard Bay. The paper is the result of basic survey and evaluation work and should not be regarded as a policy document. It is however intended to help in the formulation of policy and to promote discussion. The Atlantic Coast project seeks to develop and test an integrated coastal zone plan for this area which can help in the evaluation of development proposals, guide investment, and minimise conflicts of interest. It aims to promote a balanced approach: one that can safeguard the area’s core natural assets and sustain or enhance its productivity over the longer term. This is an area which provides opportunities for a wide range of leisure activities. It has a dramatic and varied coastline, the attractive and lively fishing village of Ullapool, one of Scotland’s most scenic groups of small offshore islands, remote communities, sheltered anchorages, abundant wildlife, fine beaches, archaeological sites, some good wreck diving and a rich underwater environment. It is a popular holiday destination for tourists from the UK and overseas, many of whom are drawn by the beauty of the surroundings and the opportunities provided by the coast, sea and islands. Sailing and kayaking are increasingly popular with both tourists and locals, while cruise boats give visitors an opportunity to explore the islands and to see seals, porpoises and other wildlife at close quarters.

To better understand the outbreak origin, we used a pathogen have resulted in a genome that is highly clonal, established genetic signatures that provided insights about strain origin.

  • 1 Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee
    RURAL ECONOMY AND CONNECTIVITY COMMITTEE SALMON FARMING IN SCOTLAND SUBMISSION FROM SEA CHANGE WESTER ROSS Sea Change Wester Ross emerged as a community group set up to protect Wester Ross Marine Protected Area and give the public a voice for improved management of the marine environment. We speak for those in the community who care about the potential for recovery of the ecosystem, coastal economy and fisheries which are all interconnected. Since dredgers were banned, Sea Change has evolved into a think tank making our own conclusions on scientific and Government papers. These are often different from the prevalent Industry view, and sometimes also the authors. The context for our concern is that the greatest challenge our species is facing is to find solutions to rapid population expansion and an equally rapid loss of biodiversity combined with over fishing, global warming and ocean acidification. The Government’s intention to double salmon farms by 2030 ignores the limits of the ecosystem and the cumulative impacts it can absorb. Coastal economics in particular cannot be separated from the marine environment and many reports we have read focus exclusively on benefits to one industry and assume limitless capacity. Those of us in the think tank have an alternative coastal economy in mind - one built on an understanding of the interconnections within the ecosystem and true sustainability. This alternative economy would work with nature to build on the positive benefits restoration affords. Alistair Sinclair of the Scottish Creel Fishermen’s Federation (the creel and dive fisheries) has spoken of a vision for an alternative coastal economy built upon support for low impact fisheries.
