  • 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.

    HEREDITY VOLUME 24 PART 1 FEBRUARY 1969 GENE FLOW IN A CLINE AMATHES GLAREOSA ESP. AND ITS MELANIC F. EDDA STAUD. (LEP.) IN SHETLAND H. B. D. KETTLEWELL Genetics Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford and R. J. BERRY Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, London, W.C.1 Received12.ii.68 1. INTRODUCTX0N THE Caradrinid moth Amathes glareosa Esp. has a distinct melanic form (edda) in Shetland. This form decreases in frequency from 97 per cent, in the north of the 70-mile-long group of islands to about one per cent. in the south (Kettlewell and Berry, 1961) (fig. I). The difference between the two forms is controlled by a single gene, and in North Shetland (Unst) the black form seems to have near-complete dominance. However, slightly lighter forms are sometimes encountered in the wild population, although we found it impossible to differentiate these from the darker forms with accuracy. The obvious assumption is that these lighter moths are heterozygous for the edda gene. Despite the difficulty of scoring, we can state confidently that under 15 per cent, of 12,81 8f.edda fromUnst were classifiable as being of the lighter form. In this area the Hardy-Weinberg expectation for the frequency of heterozygotes is 28 per cent. By contrast in South Shetland, in the Orkneys and in Fair Isle where f.eddaoccurs at a low frequency, many of the specimens are paler than any found on Unst, the majority are light and none of the darkest ones are as black as those from northernmost Shetland.

    THE STUDY OF A CLINE AMATHES GLAREOSA ESP. AND ITS MELANIC F. EDDA STAUD (LEP.) IN SHETLAND H. B. D. KETTLEWELL Genetics Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford R. J. BERRY M.R.C. Experimental Genetics Research Unit, University College, London, Gower Street, W.C. I Received15.1V.61 1. INTRODUCTION INthe previous paper the occurrence of melanism in Lepidoptera in the Shetland Islands has been reviewed and the theoretical interest of studying the factors which contribute to the maintenance of melanic forms in so many species in this group has been set out (Kettlewell, ig6xa).It has also been suggested that for practical reasons, the moth Amathes glareosa Esp. with its distinct melanic form edda would be suitable material for investigating the factors contributing to non- industrial melanism. This paper and the one that follows give an account of the work on this insect carried out in Shetland in the summers of 1959andig6o. Until recently knowledge relating to A. glareosa was limited to the casual observations of collectors, many of whom visited Unst, the northernmost main island of the Shetland group, for the specific purpose of catching (among other things) f.edda.This form of the moth was not known to occur elsewhere. F. ypica, however, had been reported from Dunrossness on the south Shctland mainland. Hence the original problem was the relatively uncomplicated one of discovering why A. glareosa was largely replaced by a melanic form on Unst, an island i 2 miles long by 6 wide. However, it soon became apparent that the situation was more complex than originally thought.

  • The Contribution of the Community Cooperatives of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to the Development of the Social Economy∗
    The Contribution of the Community Cooperatives of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to the Development of the Social Economy∗ by Mike Gordon Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, and Mike Gordon Consultancy, UK Abstract The article considers the “pragmatic reform” versus “radical utopia” duality within the social economy and, in that context, evaluates the contribution of the community cooperatives of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to the development of the modern UK social economy. The assessment is based on recent research, including interviews with representatives of several cooperatives and others involved in the initiative undertaken by the former Highlands and Islands Development Board, or in related activities. The ori- gins of the Scottish social economy lie in the “Highland Problem”, arising from the processes of depopulation of the Highlands and Islands as a result of the clearances, the need for local employment opportunities, the exploi- tation of Scotland as a British colony, the cultural dimension, and the profound importance of the land question. The initiative has been very suc- cessful, on a number of different levels: it created new jobs, services and enterprises; very importantly, it built asset bases and revenue income to un- derpin development; it changed people’s lives, was genuinely bottom-up, raised consciousness, reinforced the mutual cooperation tradition of the area, and inspired people elsewhere to do similar things. It can claim a de- gree of radicalism and the achievement of some significant social change. * The article (modified from a paper presented at the International Co-operative Alliance international research conference, held at Naousa, Greece, in May 2002) is based on the findings of a dissertation research project for the MA in Local Economic Development at Middlesex University, which was also supported by the Associate Lecturer Research Associateship Scheme, OU Faculty of Social Sciences.

  • Orkney and Shetland
    Orkney and Shetland: A Landscape Fashioned by Geology Orkney and Shetland Orkney and Shetland are the most northerly British remnants of a mountain range that once soared to Himalayan heights. These Caledonian mountains were formed when continents collided around A Landscape Fashioned by Geology 420 million years old. Alan McKirdy Whilst the bulk of the land comprising the Orkney Islands is relatively low-lying, there are spectacular coastlines to enjoy; the highlight of which is the magnificent 137m high Old Man of Hoy. Many of the coastal cliffs are carved in vivid red sandstones – the Old Red Sandstone. The material is also widely used as a building stone and has shaped the character of the islands’ many settlements. The 12th Century St. Magnus Cathedral is a particularly fine example of how this local stone has been used. OrKney A Shetland is built largely from the eroded stumps of the Caledonian Mountains. This ancient basement is pock-marked with granites and related rocks that were generated as the continents collided. The islands of the Shetland archipelago are also fringed by spectacular coastal features, nd such as rock arches, plunging cliffs and unspoilt beaches. The geology of Muckle Flugga and the ShetLAnd: A LA Holes of Scraada are amongst the delights geologists and tourists alike can enjoy. About the author Alan McKirdy has worked in conservation for over thirty years. He has played a variety of roles during that period; latterly as Head of Information Management at SNH. Alan has edited the Landscape nd Fashioned by Geology series since its inception and anticipates the completion of this 20 title series ScA shortly.
