PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT The information below is intended only as a guide to help you get the most from your experience. Cameras – Camera equipment is very much a personal choice and is dependent on individual preference, budget, and experience. Whether you shoot with a 35mm DSLR or a mirror-less system is unimportant. What is important, however, is that you are familiar with your camera’s layout and menu structure and the difference between shooting modes. An understanding of the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and ISO is essential. Camera bag – bring a camera bag that allows you to Macro lens can be ideal. comfortably carry your equipment over rugged terrain.

  • GUIDANCE for IDENTIFYING the SPECIAL QUALITIES of SCOTLAND’S NATIONAL SCENIC AREAS Final Version 29/1/08
    GUIDANCE FOR IDENTIFYING THE SPECIAL QUALITIES OF SCOTLAND’S NATIONAL SCENIC AREAS Final version 29/1/08 This guidance describes the method and resources required for identifying the special qualities of National Scenic Areas. It is aimed primarily at the landscape professionals who would lead on the work. For further information contact: James Fenton – [email protected] Introduction a) To date, the only descriptions of most of Scotland’s 40 National Scenic Areas are found in the original 1978 Countryside Commission for Scotland publication Scotland’s Scenic Heritage. However, our understanding of landscape has developed significantly since then, and recent pilot NSA management strategy work has explored more systematic, transparent and robust approaches to defining the qualities that make each of these nationally important areas special. b) In 2006 SNH commissioned David Tyldesley and Associates (DTA) to review this special quality work and to produce a standardised methodology that could be used across the suite of NSAs. After producing such a methodology, DTA tested it across five representative NSAs. c) This guidance is based on the outcome of DTA’s work, full details of which can be found in: David Tyldesley and Associates (2006). Identifying the Special Qualities of Scotland’s National Scenic Areas. Scottish Natural Heritage Commissioned Report No.255 (ROAME No. F05AC701). This report also includes a review of the methods that have been used to determine the special qualities of protected landscapes in the UK generally. d) The methodology described here is solely of a professional/expert nature, which does not involve public consultation nor seek to capture the views of the wider set stakeholders.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.

  • OUTER ISLES LEWIS, Bearasaigh (NB 122 424): the Following Routes
    OUTER ISLES LEWIS, Bearasaigh (NB 122 424): The following routes are taken from a mini-guide by K.Archer & P.Headland. Access is by boat. Upper Hadrians Wall: Hadrians Wall extends, on more than one level, from the NW corner of the island back southwards. From a ruined building at the NNW end of the island, walk north for a few yards to a small grassy depression from which a right-trending ramp and small corner give access to a huge boulder covered platform. Follow this westwards to arrive at the non-tidal Upper Hadrians Wall. The first route starts by the first two obvious crack-lines with an undercut start and a striking “snake” pattern in the rock. Long Time Coming 15m Severe 4b. K.Archer, P.Headland. 11th June 2007. Start by the snake pattern, enter and follow the left crack. Finger Ripping Good 15m VS 4c *. K.Archer, P.Headland. 11th June 2007. From the same starting point as the previous route, follow the rightwards trending right- hand crack-line. At the second small triangular niche step left onto the face and follow it to the top. My First 1000 Words 15m VS 5a. P.Headland, K.Archer. 11th June 2007. Start 5m right of the snake pattern in the centre of a small face and climb directly up the wall. Eight metres further right is a very obvious small steep slab “The Coal Face”, with a central break and a “handrail” across its top leading into a corner on the left. The Whale & the Snail 18m Severe 4b.

    76484 Geology Cover_R1:Scot 29/10/10 12:00 Page 1 Scotland: The Creation of its Natural Landscape Scotland: The Creation of its Natural Landscape For its size Scotland has the most varied geology and natural landscapes of any country on the planet. The creation of its natural landscape is a fascinating story, told with authority and clarity by Alan A Landscape Fashioned by Geology McKirdy and Roger Crofts. Alan McKirdy and Roger Crofts Scotland: The Creation of its Natural Landscape provides a wealth of information on how Scotland was created and the events which took place there through the aeons. But the story doesn’t stop back SCOTLAND: The Creation of its Natural Landscape - A LANDSCAPE FASHIONED BY GEOLOGY in the mists of time: it continually unfolds and the book provides up to the minute information on the geological events taking place beneath our feet. It also provides a history of geological science and highlights the enormous contribution Scots geologists have given to the world. “This is a splendid book. Clearly written and lavishly illustrated, it delves deep into the story of Scotland’s primaeval past, through the rocks which have shaped the landscapes of the present from the dawn of time itself. The mountains and islands and sea lochs and the geological convulsions which formed them, the lava-plains and glacier-haunted straths and corries, the volcanic stumps of Arthur’s Seat and the Bass Rock. All these are explained and illuminated for lay and learned alike. Scotland’s landscape is a living tapestry of cosmogenic forces writ large in stone; this book tells it all.” Magnus Magnusson KBE “If a machine existed that could take you way back into the past, you would not recognise your native country - or indeed your native planet.
