  • Introduction the Place-Names in This Book Were Collected As Part of The
    Introduction The place-names in this book were collected as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Board-funded (AHRB) ‘Norse-Gaelic Frontier Project, which ran from autumn 2000 to summer 2001, the full details of which will be published as Crawford and Taylor (forthcoming). Its main aim was to explore the toponymy of the drainage basin of the River Beauly, especially Strathglass,1 with a view to establishing the nature and extent of Norse place-name survival along what had been a Norse-Gaelic frontier in the 11th century. While names of Norse origin formed the ultimate focus of the Project, much wider place-name collection and analysis had to be undertaken, since it is impossible to study one stratum of the toponymy of an area without studying the totality. The following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below. It makes no claims to being comprehensive, but it is hoped that it will serve as the basis for a more complete place-name survey of an area which has hitherto received little serious attention from place-name scholars. Parishes The parishes covered are those of Kilmorack KLO, Kiltarlity & Convinth KCV, and Kirkhill KIH (approximately 240, 185 and 80 names respectively), all in the pre-1975 county of Inverness-shire. The boundaries of Kilmorack parish, in the medieval diocese of Ross, first referred to in the medieval record as Altyre, have changed relatively little over the centuries.

Box 3006, N-7001 Trondheim, Norway SYNOPSIS Primary (compactional) magnetic fabrics and multicomponent rem- anences are recognized in the Stoer and Torridon Groups. Low tempera- ture (LT) blocking remanences are randomized around 400-600°C and relate to a post-Torridonian magnetic overprint, possibly of early Mesozoic age. In the Stoer Group (and some Stoer boulders in the basal Torridon Group) LT remanences are partly or fully carried by magnetite (titanomagnetite). High temperature (HT) remanences are characterized by discrete unblocking above 600°C, having a specular haematite remanence carrier. Results of a conglomerate test of some Stoer boulders provides a positive stability test for HT remanences in the Torridon Group, and a convergence of evidence suggests that remanence acquisi- tion of both the Stoer and Torridon Groups was facilitated by both detrital and early diagenetic processes.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

  • Strathcarron Project Supporting the Howard Doris Centre
    Looking towards AttadalePhoto by by PeterPeter Teago AN CARRANNACH The General Interest Magazine of Lochcarron, Shieldaig, Applecross, Kishorn, Torridon & Kinlochewe Districts NO: 367 August 2018 £1.00 “Walking to the Island” and other poems. by Alan MacGillivray "Walking to the Island” is a collection of poems which, in the author’s own words, is “A poetic evocation of boyhood summer holidays in the Wester Ross village of Lochcarron in the years during and just after the second world war.” This modest description, found on the back cover of the book, is accurate enough to whet the appetite of anyone who might casually pick it up for inspection, but fails to do justice to the scope and range of the work found within its covers. “Walking to the Island” is itself a sequence of poems and prose poetry, by turns nostalgic, celebratory, descriptive and elegiac, the totality of which is considerably more than the sum of any of its constituent parts. These are poems, which, like a good malt “uisge beatha”, which in a way they resemble, need to be savoured slowly and appreciatively. Their memories, observation, humour, wit and wisdom a complex and heady distillation of experience matured over time, and served up here in verse, which has style and variety sufficient to maintain the reader’s interest over the course of the “journey”, a journey both back in time, but also into the heart and soul of a community and culture. There is the occasional flash of anger, and overall a sense of sadness entirely in keeping with the book’s dedication to the author’s late brother James MacGillivray of affectionate memory in these parts.

From here you can download the file ‘W-J,_SFS_Final_discussion.pdf’. 9.1 Introduction Scotland’s First Settlers (SFS) was set up to look for evidence of the earliest foragers, or Mesolithic, settlement around the Inner Sound, western Scotland. Particular foci of interest included the existence and nature of midden sites, the use of rockshelters and caves, and the different types of lithic raw material (including especially baked mudstone) in use. In order to implement the project a programme of survey and test pitting, together with limited excavation was set up (see Illustration 568, right). Along the way information on other sites, both Prehistoric and later was collected, and this has also been covered in this report. In Illus 568: SFS survey work in addition, a considerable amount of information on the progress. Much of the work changing nature of the landscape and environment has had to be carried out by boat been presented. Fieldwork has finished, data has been analysed. There will always be scope for further work (and this will be discussed later), but the first stages of the project have definitely come to a close. How well has it achieved its aims? 9.2 The major achievements of the project 9.2.1 Fieldwork SFS fieldwork was conducted over a period of five years between 1999 and 2004.
