  • 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).

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.

  • Sìl Eòlais Number 29 • May 2014 Newsletter of an Iodhlann’S Members
    Sìl Eòlais Number 29 • May 2014 Newsletter of An Iodhlann’s members Welcome to the first issue of 2014. Not long after you get this newsletter Tiree will see the launch of a major new history book when the Islands Book Trust publishes The Secret Island on Friday 23 May. John Randall, the outgoing chair of the IBT, and Professor Donald Meek will be in An Talla. The volume collects all the talks given at last year’s conference of the same name. Copies will be available on the night, in An Iodhlann, from our website and from all good book sellers. This August sees the centenary of the start of the First World War. We have set up our own small exhibit showing how the conflict affected the island. I recently heard the story of a German ‘invasion’ of the island in 1918. The man who told me this was having his tea in Baugh at the house of Jake Munn in the 1930s. He was listening to Jake’s brother Danny, home from the Middle East where he was a harbour master. Danny said one of his duties was to have dinner with visiting sea captains and one night a German captain had told the story of his posting as a U-boat skipper during the First World War. They had been ordered to lie at periscope depth off Soay, Tiree, and report traffic. For several days they did this, but their rations were running low and the mate reported how he had seen sheep grazing on this island.

This is in addition to about the same number, dealing with the traditions^ superstitions, general history, and social condition of the Highlands, and mostly prepared after business hours in the course of an active private and public life, including my editorial labours in connection with the Celtic Maga- zine and the Scottish Highlander. This is far more than has ever been written by any author born north of the Grampians and whatever may be said ; about the quality of these productions, two agreeable facts may be stated regarding them.

    SECTION 3: MAIN CATCHMENTS, COASTAL AREAS & SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT WITHIN OUTER HEBRIDES LOCAL PLAN DISTRICT CHAPTER 4.3: COASTAL FLOODING North Uist and Berneray Coastal Area Local Plan D istrict Local Authority Outer Hebrides - 02 Comhairle nan Eilean Siar The North Uist and Berneray Coastal Area (Figure 1) has a coastline with a length of approximately 350km. It comprises the islands of North Uist and Berneray which form the central part of the Outer Hebrides Local Plan District (LPD). This coastal area contains two of the eight Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs) in the Outer Hebrides: Lochmaddy & Trumisgarry (PVA 02/04); and North Uist (PVA 02/05). The coastline is typically embayed with inlets and sea lochs particularly on the east and south coast. On the north and west coasts machair grasslands are the predominant land form extending to around 2 kilometres inland from the foreshore. The majority of settlements are located close to the coastline while others are situated at the landward limit of the machair where it joins with inland land forms such as glacial deposits, rock or peat. 02 North Uist and Berneray coastal area Page 1 of 11 Version 1.0 Figure 1: North Uist and Berneray Coastal Area 02 North Uist and Berneray coastal area Page 2 of 11 Version 1.0 4.3.1 Coastal Flooding Impacts Main urban centres and infrastructure at risk There are between 11 and 50 residential properties and less than 10 non-residential properties at medium to high risk of coastal flooding. Approximately 42% of properties at medium to high risk are located within the PVAs.

ITE contributes to and draws upon the collective knowledge of the fourteen sister institutes which Make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and fresh- water systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natUral or man-made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. Nearly half of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Nature Conservancy Council who require information for wildlife conservation, the Department of Energy, the Department of the EnvironMent and the EEC.
