Dear MacLeod, It is fitting that I should dedicate this book to you.

    Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol. 12 : An t-Eilean Sgitheanach: Port Rìgh, An Srath & Slèite 2 nd Edition Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies 1 Vol. 12: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach: Port Rìgh, An Srath & Slèite (Isle of Skye: Portree, Strath & Sleat) Author: Kurt C. Duwe 2nd Edition April, 2006 Executive Summary This publication is part of a series dealing with local communities which were predominantly Gaelic- speaking at the end of the 19 th century. Based mainly (but not exclusively) on local population census information the reports strive to examine the state of the language through the ages from 1881 until to- day. The most relevant information is gathered comprehensively for the smallest geographical unit pos- sible and provided area by area – a very useful reference for people with interest in their own commu- nity. Furthermore the impact of recent developments in education (namely teaching in Gaelic medium and Gaelic as a second language) is analysed for primary school catchments. The Isle of Skye has been a Gaelic-speaking stronghold for centuries. After World War II decline set in especially in the main townships of Portree, Broadford and Kyleakin. However, in recent years a re- markable renaissance has taken place with a considerable success in Gaelic-medium education and of course the establishment and growth of the Gaelic further education college at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the Sleat peninsula. Foundations have now been laid for a successful regeneration of Gaelic in the south- eastern parts of the Isle of Skye. However, there is still much room for improvement especially in the pre-school sector and in a few locations like Raasay where Gaelic has shown a dramatic decline recently.

    Sleat Deer Management Plan

    South Skye Deer Management Group Deer Control Plan This Deer Control Plan outlines the South Skye Deer Management Group’s approach to Deer Control within its defined area of operations. Deer numbers are lower than the national average, therefore the SSDMG acts as a Deer Control Group. This ensures deer can be managed at a level which will not impact adversely with other stakeholder’s interests yet determines they are properly managed. To be effective, this plan is a living document which is sufficiently flexible to adapt to change and illustrate current data. This means that sections will evolve throughout the year as data changes and operational needs alter, that the Plan will be reviewed annually for operational reasons and be due a full review for suitability every three years.

The West Highland and Islands Local Development Plan (abbreviated to WestPlan) is the third of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, forms "the development plan" that guides future development in the Highlands. WestPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the West Highland and Islands area over the next 20 years. In preparing this Plan, The Highland Council have held various consultations firstly with a "Call for Sites" followed by a Main Issues Report then an Additional Sites Consultation followed by a Proposed Plan. The comments submitted during these stages have helped us finalise this Plan. This is the Adopted Plan and is now part of the statutory "development plan" for this area. 1 http://highland.gov.uk/whildp Adopted WestPlan The Highland Council 1 How to Find Out More | Mar a Gheibhear Tuilleadh Fiosrachaidh What is its Status?

    Carrie Pratt From: West Highlands and Islands Local Development Plan Subject: FW: West Highland and Islands Local Development Plan [#381] Section 1: Kevin P. Donnelly Your personal and contact details 1.1 Name * 1.2 Are a member of the public you? * Select a Tell us your vision for the area topic to comment on Protection All land between Armadale and Teangue, Sleat, Skye Site 1 3.1 Address / Description of Land 3.4 Why should the land be protected? This is an almost entirely rural area without even a village in it. So it is seems very strange and of some concern that it was included at all in the areas for detailed consideration in the Local Plan revision. I believe that there should be no concentrated development at all in the area, other than the gradual development which has already been agreed at Kilbeg adjacent to the Gaelic college. Reasons include (1) the college and its fragile Gaelic-speaking environment; (2) the fact that this is a rural, farmed area of scenic importance for tourism; and (3) the dark skies area which are important both to the environment and the tourist economy. The Gaelic college, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, is by far the main employer in the area, is regarded both nationally and internationally as a success, and attracts funding support for the Gaelic language. But this success is very fragile. The college depends for its existence on being able to provide a Gaelic-speaking environment. Without that, there would 1 be no reason for students to come there.

Dr Alexander Macbain's work on Names of Places deals with the Cehic names of pre-Gaehc " " he calls Pictish with Gaehc origin which ; names, ancl with names of Norse origin which have been transmitted through Gaelic. The area from which he took his materials was chiefly Inverness-shire, Sutherland, and Lewis. His views on the language spoken by the Picts are " given in his paper on Ptolemy's Geography of Scotland" (published separately), in his edition of Skene's "Highlanders of Scotland," and in several papers contained in this volume, particu- " larly that on the Place-Names of Inverness- shire." His position is that the Picts spoke that the Celtic Early British or a dialect of it, and language of early Britain was practically homo- geneous from the English Channel to the very North. He agrees with Kuno Meyer in holding " that no Gael ever set his foot on British soil save from a vessel that had put out from Ire- larid." Further, assuming that the terms Cruthen (which is the Gaelic form of Briton) and Pict are co-extensive and mutually convertible, VI. INTKODUCTION. ' ' ' he includes under Picts ' the whole of the Celtic settlers in Britain prior to the Belgae, thus ignoring the facts that the Picts are not heard of till about 300 %^, and that all old authorities (Gildas, Nennius, Bede, &c.) state that their original seat in Scotland was in the far North.
