  • 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).

  • The Implications of Climate Change for Coastal Habitats in the Uists, Outer Hebrides
    Ocean & Coastal Management 94 (2014) 38e43 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Ocean & Coastal Management journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/ocecoaman The implications of climate change for coastal habitats in the Uists, Outer Hebrides Stewart Angus* Scottish Natural Heritage, Great Glen House, Leachkin Road, Inverness, Scotland IV3 8NW, United Kingdom article info abstract Article history: The low-lying, relatively flat landscape of the western seaboard of the Uists has a particular vulnerability Available online 27 March 2014 to climate change, especially to rising sea levels. Winter water tables are high, and a high proportion of the area is permanent open water and marsh. Any changes in aquatic relationships could pose serious problems for the Uist environment, where the closely inter-connected habitats are internationally rec- ognised for their conservation value. The uncertainty of most aspects of climate change is imposed upon an existing level of high climatic variability in the Western Isles, greatly complicating local habitat and land use scenarios, but rising sea level, possibly the most threatening aspect of climate change, is a certainty. Rising sea level alone has the potential to raise water levels within the islands by progressively reducing the effectiveness of an ageing drainage network, not only raising water levels, but possibly also facilitating saline infiltration of the water table. This raises problems for habitats, species, and for land users, in islands where habitat processes and human interaction with the environment have always been particularly closely linked.
