New 2021 A5 Brochure 2022 CRUISE DIRECTORY Highlands and Islands of Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Eire, Wales, Isle of Man, The Channel Islands, The Isles of Scilly, Northern France and Belgium hebridean.co.uk 2022 CRUISE DIRECTORY Highlands and Islands of Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Eire Wales, Isle of Man, The Channel Islands The Isles of Scilly Northern France and Belgium hebridean.co.uk Life on board After an energetic walk ashore, the comfort and homeliness of Hebridean Princess welcomes you back as though to your own home ‘Like home but better’ is how she has been described. The public rooms on board Hebridean Princess offer a truly cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The Tiree Lounge, with its intimate bar, is the social focal point; beautifully designed around perhaps the most extraordinary feature of the ship – a brick inglenook fireplace! Dining and cuisine It is said that sea air stimulates the appetite and it is certainly our experience that guests are eager to be taken to the very finest destinations of haute cuisine created by a talented brigade of chefs. Only the freshest and finest ingredients are used in our menu choices, most of which are procured from local suppliers; and no cruise would be complete without a traditional recital of Robert Burns’ Address to a Haggis! Going ashore On most days Hebridean Princess berths or anchors in different locations both morning and afternoon, whilst the ship’s tenders are on hand to operate a shuttle service ashore. Should you choose to wander at will, the small boats are always available to transport you back on board if the yearning for a glass of something or the pastry chef’s afternoon tea prove too hard to resist. Crew At Hebridean Island Cruises we believe it is simply not possible to look after large numbers of guests properly and give them the really personal service that differentiates an extraordinary holiday from a merely good one. That is why, on Hebridean Princess, you will find only 50 like-minded guests and no fewer than 38 crew. Cruising on board Hebridean Princess is like no ordinary cruise On a Hebridean Princess cruise you can relax and enjoy the journey of a lifetime, safe in the knowledge that your holiday is genuinely fully-inclusive. Cruises shown in this booklet include: • Shore visits including all entrance fees and transfers; • All meals on board and ashore, snacks and picnics as shown in the itineraries; • Wines, spirits and Taittinger champagne by the glass plus beers, soft drinks and hot drinks; • Private coach transfers from the local airport or train station to and from Hebridean Princess. For those wishing to drive, parking is provided at the port; • Knowledgeable on board guides; • Renowned guest speakers on selected cruises; • Use of the ship’s bicycles; • Fishing trips and speedboat rides; • Internet access and complimentary Wi-Fi; • All gratuities and port taxes. To reserve your cabin call Jonathan, Lisa, Louise, Stella or Abigail; with over 90 years of Hebridean experience between them they will ensure that your holiday gets off to the best possible start.Tel: 01756 704704 Alternatively, contact your preferred travel agent or cruise specialist.

  • Quaternary of Scotland the GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES
    Quaternary of Scotland THE GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES The comparatively small land area of Great Britain contains an unrivalled sequence of rocks, mineral and fossil deposits, and a variety of landforms that span much of the earth's long history. Well-documented ancient volcanic episodes, famous fossil sites, and sedimentary rock sections used internationally as comparative standards, have given these islands an importance out of all proportion to their size. These long sequences of strata and their organic and inorganic contents, have been studied by generations of leading geologists thus giving Britain a unique status in the development of the science. Many of the divisions of geological time used throughout the world are named after British sites or areas, for instance the Cambrian, Ordovician and Devonian systems, the Ludlow Series and the Kimmeridgian and Portlandian stages. The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) was initiated by the Nature Conservancy Council in 1977 to assess, document, and ultimately publish accounts of the most important parts of this rich heritage. The GCR reviews the current state of knowledge of the key earth-science sites in Great Britain and provides a firm basis on which site conservation can be founded in years to come. Each GCR volume describes and assesses networks of sites of national or international importance in the context of a portion of the geological column, or a geological, palaeontological, or mineralogical topic. The full series of approximately 50 volumes will be published by the year 2000. Within each individual volume, every GCR locality is described in detail in a self- contained account, consisting of highlights (a precis of the special interest of the site), an introduction (with a concise history of previous work), a description, an interpretation (assessing the fundamentals of the site's scientific interest and importance), and a conclusion (written in simpler terms for the non-specialist).

  • THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith
    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

  • Towards a Sonic Methodology Cathy
    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 11, No. 2, 2016, pp. 343-358 Mapping the Outer Hebrides in sound: towards a sonic methodology Cathy Lane University of the Arts London, United Kingdom [email protected] ABSTRACT: Scottish Gaelic is still widely spoken in the Outer Hebrides, remote islands off the West Coast of Scotland, and the islands have a rich and distinctive cultural identity, as well as a complex history of settlement and migrations. Almost every geographical feature on the islands has a name which reflects this history and culture. This paper discusses research which uses sound and listening to investigate the relationship of the islands’ inhabitants, young and old, to placenames and the resonant histories which are enshrined in them and reveals them, in their spoken form, as dynamic mnemonics for complex webs of memories. I speculate on why this ‘place-speech’ might have arisen from specific aspects of Hebridean history and culture and how sound can offer a new way of understanding the relationship between people and island toponymies. Keywords: Gaelic, island, landscape, memory, Outer Hebrides, place-speech, sound © 2016 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction I am a composer, sound artist and academic. In my creative practice I compose concert works and gallery installations. My current practice focuses around sound-based investigations of a place or theme and uses a mixture of field recording, interview, spoken text and existing oral history archive recordings as material. I am interested in the semantic and the abstract sonic qualities of all this material and I use it to construct “docu-music” (Lane, 2006).

  • Islands Living Well Network (Mull and Iona, Tiree, Coll and Colonsay) 19/04/2021
    Islands Living Well Network (Mull and Iona, Tiree, Coll and Colonsay) 19/04/2021 The Living Well Network to date Originally there were 7 Health and Wellbeing Networks in Argyll and Bute and the Islands were included with Oban and Lorn. Back in 2015, the Islands Health and Wellbeing Network was created, separately from Oban and Lorn and I took on the role of Health and Wellbeing Network Coordinator. I work the equivalent of one day a week alongside the 7 other Network Coordinators in Argyll and Bute and the NHS Public Health Team. I cover Mull and Iona, Tiree, Coll and Colonsay. Our Network has been coordinated differently from mainland based networks. We held Health and Wellbeing events on individual islands instead of Health and Wellbeing meetings for the whole network. The Island events brought together local people to showcase what they do, mainland based network Partners to share information about the support they provided on the Islands and members of the Island communities were encouraged to attend and gather information. In March 2020 the Health and Wellbeing Networks were renamed the Living Well Networks, linking in with the Living Well Strategy for Argyll and Bute. Then along came the first Covid-19 lockdown and we all had no choice but to work remotely. Zoom became a thing and we were able to network and communicate remotely. We used this to our advantage and for a few months held monthly Zoom sessions, each with 3 mainland based Network Partners as guest speakers. These monthly Zoom sessions were useful in getting information from mainland based Network Partners to the Island communities and also helped the mainland based Network Partners to keep in touch with us.
