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.

  • Grimsay to Galway Update
    From Grimsay to Galway 25 Smart Islands in Scotland and Ireland shine a light on their island assets and futures CoDeL Update for December 2019 From Grimsay: Shining a light on island renewal In Grimsay, North Uist, fifty Scottish and Irish islanders gathered in the first week of October 2019, to focus in particular on the contributions of younger islanders in renewing island life and contributing to sustainable island communities. For a whole morning (of Wednesday 2nd October), 11 enterprising young islanders, most in their 20s and 30s, told of the often remarkable personal journeys that brought them to Uist, whether returning to their island home from the mainland or as far afield as Kenya, or being inspired to make Uist their new home. And they introduced all the participants to their businesses in Uist as founders of start-up enterprises or social enterprises like the North Uist Distillery, the Scandinavian Bakery, Uist Forest Retreats and an outdoor nursery, developing community sports, reviving a community charity that almost went under, as a climate change artist, or as a young leader seeking to tackle the shortage of appropriate housing that is preventing more people returning or settling. Page 1 of 6 Throughout the week from September 30th to October 4th hosted by local organisation CoDeL (Community Development Lens) and the Scottish Islands Federation, more than 10 other young islanders led sessions on topics such as culture and identity, crofting, tourism, and developing island skills. They included young crofters and musicians, managers and development officers at social enterprises, arts, tourism and Gaelic development officers, and the founder of the Coral Box, Winner of this year's Entrepreneur of the Year at the Young Women in Tourism Awards.

  • The Potential Detrimental Impact of the New Zealand Flatworm to Scottish
    B. Boag and R. Neilson Boag, B. and R. Neilson. The potential detrimental impact of the New Zealand fl atworm to Scottish islands The potential detrimental impact of the New Zealand fl atworm to Scottish islands B. Boag and R. Neilson The James Hutton Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee, Scotland, DD2 5DA, UK. <[email protected]>. Abstract: The New Zealand fl atworm, Arthurdendyus triangulatus, is an alien invasive species in The British Isles and the Faroes. It was probably fi rst introduced after WWII and is an obligate predator of our native earthworms. It was initially considered a curiosity until observations in the 1990s in Northern Ireland found it could signifi cantly reduce earthworm numbers. In 1992, it was scheduled under the Countryside and Wildlife Act 1981 then transferred to the Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act in 2011 which makes it an off ence to knowingly distribute the fl atworm. A retrospective survey in Scotland showed that it was detected in botanic gardens, nurseries and garden centres in the 1960s but then spread to domestic gardens then fi nally to farms in the 1990s. Although the geographical distribution of A. triangulatus was initially confi ned to mainland Scotland it was subsequently found established on 30 Scottish Islands. Most of the islands are to the north and west of Scotland and have cool damp climates which are favoured by the New Zealand fl atworm. These islands also generally have relatively poor soils that support grassland farming systems. Evidence from both Northern Ireland and Scotland suggests anecic species of earthworm which occur predominantly in grassland, which help drainage and are a source of food for both animals and birds are at particular risk from the fl atworm.

    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.

  • Changes in Populations of Breeding Waders on the Machair of North Uist
    47 Changesin populationsof breedingwaders on the machair of North Uist, Scotland, 1983- 1998 R.J. Fuller & D.B. Jackson Fuller,R.J. & Jackson,D.B. 1999. Changesin populationsof breedingwaders on the machairof North Uist, Scotland,1983 - 1998. WaderStudy Group Bull. 90: 47-55. Surveysbetween 1983 and 1987confirmed that habitats close to the westcoasts of the islandsof North Uist, Benbeculaand South Uist supportedthe densestconcentrations of breedingwaders in Britain. An extensive surveyin 1995 revealedthat large declines in numbersof breedingwaders had occurredsince the 1980s, especiallyon SouthUist andBenbecula. Predation by a recentlyestablished population of hedgehogsappears to be a majorfactor contributing to the declinesof somespecies on SouthUist. In 1998, a surveywas undertakento clarify the statusof breedingwaders on threemachair sites on North Uist which are hedgehog-free.This surveyestablished that Ringed Plover and Dunlin haddeclined at two of the sitessince the 1980s;at onesite, the reductions exceeded 50%. The causesare unclear, though several hypotheses are discussed.In contrast,Oystercatcher had remainedstable at one sitebut had increasedat two sites. There was no evidenceof long-termpopulation change at any sitefor Lapwingor Redshank.Variation in detectability with the stageof breedingcan be a majorsource of errorin countsof breedingwaders; implications for measuringpopulation changes are considered.Future monitoring requirements for waderson the Uists are also discussed.

Year of publication: 2010 Background Tourism in the Outer Hebrides is a significant contributor to the economy of the islands. Much of this is based on the outstanding wildlife, landscape and opportunities for activity in the outdoors that are available throughout the year. The Area Tourism Partnership consisting of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, HIE, VisitScotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Island’s tourism businesses recognise that the contribution that these assets can make to the island’s economy can be increased. This study undertook a review of the nature based assets within the Outer Hebrides and identified those assets that offered the greatest potential to help grow the island’s economy.
