NSA Special Qualities
Extract from: Scottish Natural Heritage (2010). The special qualities of the National Scenic Areas . SNH Commissioned Report No.374. The Special Qualities of the Shetland National Scenic Area Shetland has an outstanding coastline. The seven designated areas that make-up the NSA comprise Shetland’s scenic highlights and epitomise the range of coastal forms varying across the island group. Some special qualities are generic to all the identified NSA areas, others are specific to each area within the NSA. The seven individual areas of the NSA are : Fair Isle, South West Mainland, Foula, Muckle Roe, Eshaness, Fethaland , and Hermaness . Where a quality applies to a particular area, the name is highlighted in bold . • The stunning variety of the extensive coastline • Coastal views both close and distant • Coastal settlement and fertility within a large hinterland of unsettled moorland and coast • The hidden coasts • The effects and co-existence of wind and shelter • A sense of remoteness, solitude and tranquillity • The notable and memorable coastal stacks, promontories and cliffs • The distinctive cultural landmarks • Northern light Special Quality Further information • The stunning variety of the extensive coastline Shetland’s long, extensive coastline is South West Mainland , stretching from Fitful Head (Old highly varied: from fissured and Norse hvitfugla, white birds) to the Deeps, displays greatly contrasting coastlines: fragmented hard rock coasts, to gentler formations of accumulated gravels, • Cliffed coastline of open aspect in the south to long voes sands, spits and bars; from remarkably at Weisdale and Whiteness. • Numerous small islands and stacks, notably in the area steep cliffs to sloping bays; from long, west of Scalloway.

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).

On boarding MV Hrossey we settled into our cabins and seats then ate our evening meal so that we could be on deck when the ship sailed. We did some bird-watching as the ship manoeuvred through Aberdeen harbour, and had excellent views of a Grey Seal with fish. Unfortunately the local group of Bottle-nosed Dolphins were not off the pier this year but we did have a brief view of one further out. Day 2 Tuesday 25th June Weather: Bright, sunny in PM The ship passed Fair Isle at about 5am and David and a few of the group were on deck from 5:30 am watching the Fulmars, auks, Gannets and Bonxies (Great Skuas) following the ship. We passed Sumburgh Head and as we came into the Bressay Sound leading to Lerwick met our first Tysties (Black Guillemots), a common sight in Shetland’s harbours. On disembarking we collected the waiting minibus and headed straight for the Sumburgh Hotel where we met Megan, the last member of the group.

Various Documents
METHOD NOTES 1 Purpose of this CD This CD is provided in order to demonstrate the depth of detail which underlies the development of the maps set out in Chapter 7: The landscape model. The preparation of a comprehensive gazetteer was an essential precursor to drawing up the landscape model but it was not the main aim of the study. By its very nature the gazetteer contains much repetition and chronologically irrelevant material. For this reason only relevant extracts have been included in the main body of the thesis. The full database is presented in this CD as supporting material only, in order to show the workings behind the information used in the thesis, and to set them in context. This electronic document is presented in seven sections as follows: Method Notes Raw data tables Burra Source Maps and Map Notes Houss Source Maps and Map Notes Trondra Source Maps and Map Notes Boundary Maps Large scale map of complex area The source of the contents and the relationship between the sections is explained below. 2 Outline An exercise was carried out to assess and update the known archaeological record for Burra, Houss and Trondra in order to provide a firm foundation for the landscape model which forms a major part of this thesis. A database was created in order to provide an integrated reference point for archaeological sites in the field. The previously known archaeological record for Burra, Houss and Trondra is spread over a number of national and local catalogues and two published surveys. These formed the initial sources of raw data and are described Page 1 METHOD NOTES below.
