Rare Plant Register for Vc110 Outer Hebrides VC110 Outer Hebrides Rare Plant Register Rare Plant Register for vc110 Outer Hebrides Edition: July07 (includes all records made up to 2004 and some subsequent updates) - minor update 2 (11/9/2007) © Copyright. Permission is granted to use the information in this register for planning and conservation purposes, as long as its source and copyright are acknowledged. It may not be otherwise reproduced without permission. Records © BSBI. This compilation © Paul Smith & Richard Pankhurst 2007 1. Coverage Area: This register covers the Watsonian vice-county (vc) 110, the Outer Hebrides, which includes the whole area of the Western Isles administrative area, including the outliers of the St Kilda group and North Rona and Sula Sgeir. Time period: The standard approach to rare plant registers is to take a defined period for plant records. In the case of the Outer Hebrides, however, there has not been good coverage of the area in any time period. Additionally, the amount of environmental change is relatively small (the main changes are associated with the loss of machair cultivation and changes in grazing). So we have decided to include all records regardless of their date. There are substantial challenges in assigning many old records to specific sites, and where the site is not specific, this has been given as an "unlocalised record". This also applies to a number of records from Biological Records Centre for which we have very little detail. Zones: as well as grid references, records are given zones, which are defined in the frontispiece to Pankhurst & Mullin (1991) Flora of the Outer Hebrides. These give an impression of how widespread species are more quickly than from grid references. Records are sorted by zone within species. 2. Inclusion criteria Species are considered for inclusion in this list if they are native in the Outer Hebrides. A few introduced records are included for species which are otherwise native. Species which have been considered are included if they have 10 or fewer 'sites' - a site is a moveable 1km square, so two locations have to be more than 1km apart in general to be separate sites. Species in 3 or fewer sites are designated rare, and in 4-10 sites are designated scarce (this is a standard for BSBI Rare Plant registers); we have also added "frequent" for 11-20 sites and "common" for 21 or more. Microspecies and varieties accepted for the Vice County Census Catalogue are included, but in many cases these will probably prove to be under-recorded rather than truly rare. This list does not yet take account of new taxonomy in Sell & Murrell (2006), particularly for Hieracium. Species are also included if they are listed in the latest Red Data List for vascular plants (Cheffings & Farrell 2005), or if they are Nationally Rare (in 15 or fewer hectads (10km squares) in Britain), or Nationally Scarce (in 16- 100 hectads in Britain), regardless of how many sites they are found in in the Outer Hebrides. The BSBI's guidelines also suggest the inclusion of taxa endemic or near-endemic in Britain. The only additional taxon from this source is Gentianella amarella ssp septentrionalis. A few Red Data List species are so frequent in the Outer Hebrides that we have not attempted to list all the records, but information relating to specific sites for planning and conservation may be obtained from the authors. Because we have included all records regardless of their date, we have not tried to assess decline. Therefore no species are included on decline grounds if they do not meet the criteria above. We may re-assess this in a future edition. However, a general impression can be gained by comparing 1987+ records with all records (all records includes 1987+ too). Note that these are strongly affected by variations in recording. 3. Updating The register should be updated regularly; this version includes all records made up to 2004, and some subsequent updates. To check whether there is more detail from recent records, contact the authors (see below). If you have records which either update those contained in this register, or are additional to them, we should be very pleased to receive them - again use the contacts below. Experience in working with this list suggests that the most likely changes are for species to be in more sites than given here (since there is uneven coverage of botanical recording in the Outer Hebrides). Which species will drop off the list will only be seen with further field work. 4. Contacts For more information contact: Paul Smith ([email protected]) or Richard Pankhurst ([email protected]).

  • Anke-Beate Stahl
    Anke-Beate Stahl Norse in the Place-nam.es of Barra The Barra group lies off the west coast of Scotland and forms the southernmost extremity of the Outer Hebrides. The islands between Barra Head and the Sound of Barra, hereafter referred to as the Barra group, cover an area approximately 32 km in length and 23 km in width. In addition to Barra and Vatersay, nowadays the only inhabited islands of the group, there stretches to the south a further seven islands, the largest of which are Sandray, Pabbay, Mingulay and Bemeray. A number of islands of differing sizes are scattered to the north-east of Barra, and the number of skerries and rocks varies with the tidal level. Barra's physical appearance is dominated by a chain of hills which cuts through the island from north-east to south-west, with the peaks of Heaval, Hartaval and An Sgala Mor all rising above 330 m. These mountains separate the rocky and indented east coast from the machair plains of the west. The chain of hills is continued in the islands south of Barra. Due to strong winter and spring gales the shore is subject to marine erosion, resulting in a ragged coastline with narrow inlets, caves and natural arches. Archaeological finds suggest that farming was established on Barra by 3000 BC, but as there is no linguistic evidence of a pre-Norse place names stratum the Norse immigration during the ninth century provides the earliest onomastic evidence. The Celtic cross-slab of Kilbar with its Norse ornaments and inscription is the first traceable source of any language spoken on Barra: IEptir porgerdu Steinars dottur es kross sja reistr', IAfter Porgero, Steinar's daughter, is this cross erected'(Close­ Brooks and Stevenson 1982:43).

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.
