  • Eshaness, Hillswick & North
    Five walks in the Eshaness, Hillswick & North Roe area to get you out & about and get more physically active! WANDERS Eshaness, Hillswick & North Roe PEERIE PEERIE WANDERS “Peerie Wanders” has been designed and developed by NHS Shetland Health Improvement Department in collaboration with Shetland Islands Council to help you be more active. This booklet contains a number of walks to get you out & about and help you on your journey to become more active! WHY WALKING? Brisk walking is a great way to be active and stay healthy—it’s not surprising that walking is the most popular leisure activity in Scotland. Walking is suitable for almost everyone and you don’t have to be fit to start with—you just have to get started. WHY BE MORE ACTIVE? The human body needs to be active to function properly, but modern living means that most of us are not active enough. Being more active means: • More energy • Stronger, toned muscles • A lower risk of heart disease, stroke and osteoporosis • A greater sense of well-being • Help to sleep better • Improved confidence HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BE ACTIVE? Guidelines state that you should aim to do 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week: Aim to build up half an hour of moderate activity on most days to try and meet the guidelines. These book lets are designed to help you get walking to reach your goal. If you combine walking with other activities then all the better. GETTING STARTED These walks vary in length from 1km to 5km.

    Hiking Scotland's Orkney & Shetland Islands , July 13-23, 2018 (11 days) with Carleton Professor Clint Cowan 83 “Wonderful hikes with fantastic scenery and the guides were top notch. The trip was planned in an incredibly professional, expert way that was seamless.” - Peter, New York © AAWH Dear Carleton College Alumni and Friends, I invite you to join Carleton College geologist Clint Cowan ’83 on this unique hiking tour in Scotland’s little-visited Orkney and Shetland Islands! This is the perfect opportunity toexplore on foot Scotland’s Northern Isles’ amazing wealth of geological and archaeological sites. Their rocks tell the whole story, spanning almost three billion years. On Shetland you will walk on an ancient ocean floor, explore an extinct volcano, and stroll across shift- ing sands, all in the space of a day. In contrast, Orkney is made up largely of sedimentary rocks, one of the best collections of these sediments to be seen anywhere in the world. Both archipelagoes also have an amazing wealth of archaeological sites dating back 5,000 years. This geological and archaeolog- ical saga is worth the telling, and nowhere else can the evidence be seen in © AAWH more glorious a setting. This active land tour features daily hikes that are easy to moderate in diffi- Above, the archaeological site of Jarlshof, dating back to culty, so to fully enjoy and visit all the sites on this itinerary one should be 2500 B.C.

  • TINGWALL: the SIGNIFICANCE of the NAME Gillian Fellows-Jensen
    TINGWALL: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NAME Gillian Fellows-Jensen Introduction: thing and ting1 In present-day English the word thing means 'an entity of any kind', concrete or abstract, as in the pronouns anything, something or nothing. It can even be used as a term of endearment, at least to those not in a position to remonstrate, for example Alice in Wonderland, into whose arm the Duchess tucked her arm affectionately, saying 'You can't think how glad I am to see you again, you dear old thing!' In the modem Scandinavian languages, too, the cognate word ting has the same all-embracing kind of meaning and is found in pronouns such as Danish nogenting 'anything' and ingenting 'nothing'. When used of a person, however, it is generally in a derogatory sense, referring mainly to women who are old, ugly or loose-living or perhaps all three at once (ODS s.v. ting). As a place-name specific or generic, it is clear that thing must have a concrete significance. There are a number of field-names recorded in Middle English and early Modern English sources in which it is compounded with a personal name or a term denoting a human-being and seems to have the sense 'possession'. The earliest example I have noted is Aynoifesthyng 1356 in Ash in Surrey (Gover et al. 1933: 270) but the vast majority of occurrences date from the 15th to the l 7th centuries. In Old English and the other early Germanic languages, however, the word thing and its cognates, which were all of neuter gender, had the meaning 'assembly, meeting' and it is from this meaning that the modern, more general meaning has developed.

  • 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.

  • Art Rambles in Shetland
    BY |0HJS T. FE^ID- “ Here rise no groves, and here no gardens blow, Here even the hardy heath scarce dares to grow ; But rocks on rocks, in mist and storm ar^y’d, Stretch far to sea their giant colonnade. With many a cavei^t seam'd, .the dreary haunt < >f the dun seal and swarthy cormora^nt, Wild, round their rifted brows with frequent cry, As of lament, the gulls and gannets fly, And from their sable base, with sullen sound, In sheets of whitening foam the waves rebou^^l.” Sumi EDINBURGH: EDMONSTON AND DOUGLAiS^. I869. [A/l Rights Reser^'ed.] To Tde 'kiyld Hcnazirable « , Cijomas e^arl of Zetland, &,C., Baron Dnnt^ag, Thi3 Volume is re^pe^tfi^iriy dedicated nv J OHJJ T. T(eid. 9 ■« I Preface. It is the hope of the A^uthor of the present volume that his Readers may derive some new^pleasure, if not some new information, from the fruits of a labour which has been a very enjoyable one to himself. Intelligent admirers of the beautiful in Nature do not confine their interest to one type of beauty : the stern has its attractions for them as well as the sweet. To such it ought to be a matter for congratu­ lation, that there is afforded them, within the circuit of their own country, so unique and varied an exhibition of all the grander and wilder things in scenery as is afforded them in the Shetland Islands. The Author is not without a hope that he may contribute something to the interest in these Island.s which has been recently awakening here in the South, and that he’ may put it into the heart of a few to traverse for themselves the sublime, if comparatively desolate, region which he tries to bring nearer to their homes.

It comprises the area from the north shore of Ronas Voe in the south, except inbye land at Feal, to the Uyea track in the north, excluding fenced apportionments at Scord of Sandvoe. In the east, the site extends to the burns of Orrwick, Twa-roes, Roerwater and Houlland. It includes the Collarfirth Hill and the Beorgs of Collafirth and Skelberry down to the 100 m contour and the Beorgs of Housetter to the 50 m contour. In the west, the boundary follows the coastline (low water mark) from Ronas Voe to Innri Geo and the fence line around Helvadale Hill and Whitler Hill. The site also includes several sea stacks. The summit and surrounding slopes of the domed granite massif of Ronas Hill - the highest hill in Shetland – and the North Roe plateau are notified for a number of features of conservation interest. Of geomorphological importance is the range of peri-glacial features occurring on Ronas Hill. Biological interests include montane habitats and blanket bog, which support a range of breeding birds, in particular red-throated divers, and invertebrates, most notably Arctic water fleas.
