  • Cruising the ISLANDS of ORKNEY
    Cruising THE ISLANDS OF ORKNEY his brief guide has been produced to help the cruising visitor create an enjoyable visit to TTour islands, it is by no means exhaustive and only mentions the main and generally obvious anchorages that can be found on charts. Some of the welcoming pubs, hotels and other attractions close to the harbour or mooring are suggested for your entertainment, however much more awaits to be explored afloat and many other delights can be discovered ashore. Each individual island that makes up the archipelago offers a different experience ashore and you should consult “Visit Orkney” and other local guides for information. Orkney waters, if treated with respect, should offer no worries for the experienced sailor and will present no greater problem than cruising elsewhere in the UK. Tides, although strong in some parts, are predictable and can be used to great advantage; passage making is a delight with the current in your favour but can present a challenge when against. The old cruising guides for Orkney waters preached doom for the seafarer who entered where “Dragons and Sea Serpents lie”. This hails from the days of little or no engine power aboard the average sailing vessel and the frequent lack of wind amongst tidal islands; admittedly a worrying combination when you’ve nothing but a scrap of canvas for power and a small anchor for brakes! Consult the charts, tidal guides and sailing directions and don’t be afraid to ask! You will find red “Visitor Mooring” buoys in various locations, these are removed annually over the winter and are well maintained and can cope with boats up to 20 tons (or more in settled weather).

  • S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It
    3 S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It is probably true to say that the most enduring aspect of Norse place-names in the Hebrides, if we expect settlement names, has been the toponymy of the sea coast. This is perhaps not surprising, when we consider the importance of the sea and the seashore in the economy of the islands throughout history. The interplay of agriculture and fishing has contributed in no small measure to the great variety of toponymic terms which are to be found in the islands. Moreover, the broken nature of the island coasts, and the variety of scenery which they afford, have ensured the survival of a great number of coastal terms, both in Gaelic and Norse. The purpose of this paper, then, is to examine these terms with a Norse content in the hope of assessing the importance of the two languages in the various islands concerned. The distribution of Norse names in the Hebrides has already attracted scholars like Oftedal and Nicolaisen, who have concen­ trated on establis'hed settlement names, such as the village names of Lewis (OftedaI1954) and the major Norse settlement elements (Nicolaisen, S.H.R. 1969). These studies, however, have limited themselves to settlement names, although both would recognise that the less important names also merit study in an intensive way. The field-work done by the Scottish Place Name Survey, and localised studies like those done by MacAulay (TGSI, 1972) have gone some way to rectifying this omission, but the amount of material available is enormous, and it may be some years yet before it is assembled in a form which can be of use to scholar­ ship.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Institute wishes to thank Miss Sarah Anthony for drawing the figures in this report. The work was carried out as part of her year's sandwich course at our Monks Wood Experimental Station, Huntingdon. Sarah is a cartography student at the Luton College of Higher Education, Bedfordshire. The Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ITE) was established in 1973 from the former Natu're Conservancy's research stations and staff, joined later by the Institute of Tree Biology and the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa. 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 freshwater 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.

  • On the Birds of the Islands of Oigh-Sgeir and Causamul, North Uist
    (330) ON THE BIRDS OF THE ISLANDS OF OIGH-SGEIR AND CAUSAMUL, NORTH UIST. BY R. B. FREEMAN. A SHORT visit was paid to these two islands on July ioth, 1939. Oigh-sgeir, called alternatively Heiskeir or Haskeir, lies seven and a half miles west of the north-west point of North Uist, Outer Hebrides (O.S. 1* Scotland 22), in lat. 57° 42' N. and long. 70 41' W. It is a small rocky island of Lewisian gneiss, half a mile long and less than a quarter of a mile wide at the widest part. The highest point is 123 ft. above sea-level. The map given is modified from the 6-inch ISLAND OF OIGH-SGEIR, NORTH UIST, HEBRIDES. Modified from O.S. 6", North Uist, Sheet XXIV. Scale 8" = 1 mile Barred areas represent Guillemot cliffs. Figures represent numbers of Fulmar nests, in the approximate position of each group. VOL. XXXIII] BIRDS OF NORTH UIST. 331 O.S. To any one visiting the island in future, it may be well to state that the only convenient landing place is that marked on the map, to the south-east side of the central natural arch. The only indication of human interference is a small hollow circular dun, now in ruins, on the north plateau. Much of the island is bare rock but the two plateaux have a good plant covering, and there is some plant growth on the more sheltered east side of the central ridge. Plantago maritima, with large, spatulate, erect leaves interspersed with Silene maritima and Armeria maritima cover the plateaux, and more clumped, stocky forms of these three grow in the crevices of the rocks.

  • A Census of the Atlantic Puffins Fratercula Arctica Breeding on Orkney in 2016
    A census of Atlantic Puffins on Orkney A Census of the Atlantic Puffins Fratercula arctica breeding on Orkney in 2016 Robert D. Hughes1*, Fabrice Le Bouard1, Gareth Bradbury2 and Ellie Owen1 * Correspondence author. Email: [email protected] 1 The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, North Scotland Regional Office, Etive House, Beechwood Park, Inverness, IV2 3BW, UK; 2 The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, Slimbridge, GL2 7BT, UK. Abstract Atlantic Puffins Fratercula arctica were counted at all known colonies in Orkney (excluding Sule Skerry) during the 2016 breeding season. Counts of individuals (IND) were made during pre-laying and incubation at all 20 sites and at six sites where burrows where physically accessible. In 2016 the Atlantic Puffin population of Orkney was estimated to be 6,675 breeding pairs (based on the counts of apparently occupied burrows [AOB] where available, and assuming that one individual represented one breeding pair for the other sites). AOB counts were higher than the IND counts at all six colonies where both methods were used. Previous Orkney Atlantic Puffin population estimates of breeding pairs were mostly based on counts of individuals on land (INDL) made during late incubation and chick rearing. While caution must be used when comparing INDL counts between years the results suggest a decline in line with studies of other Northern Isles colonies. Introduction The Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica (hereafter ‘Puffin’) is a rocky crevice and burrow nesting seabird, whose range is restricted to the cold waters of the North Atlantic (Harris & Wanless 2011). Due to the Puffins’ nesting habits, often in remote or inaccessible locations, accurately determining their population size is difficult.
