    Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study

    Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study Fair Isle Public Engagement Meeting Wednesday 31st August 2016 – 1700–2000 Fair Isle Hall Peter Brett Associates LLP Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study Welcome to the Fair Isle Public Engagement Meeting for the Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study (SIITS). The Shetland inter-island transport network, which consists of a combination of ferry and air services, connects nine islands with Shetland mainland. These lifeline connections support the economies of Shetland’s island communities as well as providing personal accessibility to employment opportunities and access to key services such as education, health and leisure opportunities. The inter-island transport network has been supported in both capital and revenue terms by the Council over many years. Whilst this remains the case, ageing assets, escalating costs and a reduction in the funding available to local authorities has led to a need to consider the future of the inter-island transport network at the strategic level. To this end, the Council, in partnership with ZetTrans, Transport Scotland and Highlands & Islands Enterprise, commissioned the Shetland Inter-Island Transport Study (SIITS), with a view to developing and appraising options for the future of the inter-island transport services. The purpose of this exercise is to determine the appropriate level of service for each island / island group and the funding implications of this. This will provide the Council and ZetTrans with an evidence base to inform discussions with Scottish Government. To this end, the study team, led by Peter Brett Associates LLP, has developed, appraised & costed a set of capital (e.g. vessels, harbours, fixed links, airfields and aircraft (where appropriate)) and revenue (i.e.

The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

    J_ CROSSROADS OF THE NORTH By ALEX. S. MOWAT O one who knows and loves the Orkney and Shetland Islands it is surprising to find how little other people know of them and annoying to discover how often they T are confused with the Hebrides. All three, of course, are groups of islands lying off the coast of Scotland, the He­ brides to the west, the Orkneys and Shetlands to the north. 'rhey therefore have some geographic and climatic character­ istics in common. But, despite half a century and more of com­ pulsory schooling in English applied to all, the inhabitants of ..-; the northern and western isles remain very different in culture and tradition. The Hebrides once spoke only Gaelic and many still speak it as a first language. It is unknown, and always has been, in the Orkneys and Shetlands. The Hebridean is a Celt, a representative of a dying culture, looking back into the gloom and mystery of the Celtic twilight. N osta.lgia for the storied past breathes from his beaches and his shielings. He has loved and lost. The Orkney-man and the Shetlander have neither the inclination nor the time to spend on such nonsense. A shrewd and hardy vigour, descending (they declare) from their Norse an­ cestors, saves them from any trace of that melancholic lethargy sometimes attributed to the Hebridean Celt. While they are passionately attached to their islands and well versed in their history and tra<litions, they are equally interested in the latest methods of egg-production and tho price of fish at the Aber­ deen fish market.

  • Doreen J. Waugh

    Doreen J. Waugh

    Doreen J. Waugh In (and around) Scatness* Introduction Place-names are cultural artefacts which can be scrutinised by researchers, in much the same way that a structure emerging out of the ground at the Old Scatness archaeological dig can be examined, with the aim of extracting from the individual place-name some information about the people who first created it, the linguistic and cultural environment in which they used it and the changing historical environment in which it then survived throughout ensuing centuries. The basic task of the toponymist is 'to provide etymologies based on the collection and study of early spellings', as Margaret Gelling noted in her excellent study of Place-Names in the Landscape (Gelling 1984, 1-2). Archaeologists, historians and scholars in other disciplines can then use the material as a supportive, analytical tool. One Shetland historian, at least, would argue that 'Scholars of place-names should aim to do more than collect names (or celebrate the 'nation' which coined them). They should attempt to reconstruct, or at least probe into, the societies where the names came to life' (Smith 1995, 26). Toponymists and archaeologists may approach their raw material in different ways, but it has long been recognised that the two disciplines are complementary. For the toponymist, the existence of an archaeological site can confirm the appropriateness of a place-name and, if the site has been excavated and dated, can help towards identifying a date for the creation of the place-name, which is often otherwise very difficult to establish, particularly in places like Shetland where the early written record is limited in extent.
