  • 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).

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.

  • 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.
