  • Sìl Eòlais Number 29 • May 2014 Newsletter of an Iodhlann’S Members
    Sìl Eòlais Number 29 • May 2014 Newsletter of An Iodhlann’s members Welcome to the first issue of 2014. Not long after you get this newsletter Tiree will see the launch of a major new history book when the Islands Book Trust publishes The Secret Island on Friday 23 May. John Randall, the outgoing chair of the IBT, and Professor Donald Meek will be in An Talla. The volume collects all the talks given at last year’s conference of the same name. Copies will be available on the night, in An Iodhlann, from our website and from all good book sellers. This August sees the centenary of the start of the First World War. We have set up our own small exhibit showing how the conflict affected the island. I recently heard the story of a German ‘invasion’ of the island in 1918. The man who told me this was having his tea in Baugh at the house of Jake Munn in the 1930s. He was listening to Jake’s brother Danny, home from the Middle East where he was a harbour master. Danny said one of his duties was to have dinner with visiting sea captains and one night a German captain had told the story of his posting as a U-boat skipper during the First World War. They had been ordered to lie at periscope depth off Soay, Tiree, and report traffic. For several days they did this, but their rations were running low and the mate reported how he had seen sheep grazing on this island.

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.
