Name of Contributor Address ii EDITORIAL For more than twenty five years DISCOVERS AND EXCAVATION IN SCOTLAND has been published annually, and, from the start, has been ed- ited by Dr. Margaret Stewart. It is thanks to her hard work, and that of Charlotte Lythe, whom she assisted for the last eight years, that D & E has survived to become the unique record it is. This is the last issue with which Dr. Stewart will be directly concerned as Honorary Ad- visory Editor and the thanks of contributors past and present are ex- tended to her for her work over the years. E.V.W.P., Editor. Regular readers of DISCOVER? AND EXCAVATION IN SCOTLAND will notice some changes in this issue, some for financial reasons, others as part of a modernisation programme. Counties and parishes have given way to REGIONS and DISTRICTS, an inevitable change now Regions and Districts are the administrative units in Scotland, Many entries were already submitted in this way, an indication that the time was ripe for change. We have reinstated the BIBLIOGRAPHY, which has been sorely missed, and our thanks go to the contributors Anne O'Connor and David Clarke for providing this. Attention is drawn to the relocation of the small finds list. Small finds are no longer tabulated, but are listed as normal entries. We hope readers will find this a convenience, since all ent- ries for Districts are now together. Our thanks to the Ordnance Survey must again be recorded for their assistance in verifying grid references, and for checking that the Editors' Region and District conversions were correct. We wish to record our thanks to the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments in Scotland who have again offered to pay a sub- stantial proportion of the printing coat of their entry, and that of the National Monuments Record. It is with pleasure we are able to record that the Scottish Development Department (Ancient Monuments), previously the Department of the Environment, have made a similar offer in respect of excavations and surveys funded by the Department. NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS are now printed behind the title page, and a Pro forma is included. Two copies of each entry must be supplied,one for editorial use and the other for the Ordnance Survey and for the National Monuments Record. This will greatly reduce the burden on the Editors who have very little time in which to organise all the entries so that DISCOVER? AND EXCAVATION IN SCOTLAND will "be ready for the ACM on the last Saturday in January. Send contributions at any time, but the latest date for acceptance is OCTOBER 31. Entries received after that date will be held over for the next issue. DISCOVER? AND EXCAVATION IN SCOTLAND is a handbook for use by any- one interested in field archaeology in Scotland. Encourage all members of your Society, field class, friends,.etc., to buy their own copy. EDWINA V.W. PROUDFOOT Editors MARGARET E.C. STEWART iii BORDERS BERWICK 1.

Jobey SDD(AM) Unenclosed Platform Settlement, Cairn NT 212434 In 1978 platform 5, a stance for a round timber house, was excavated. This house was of two phases. Rubbers, saddle querns, and sherds similar to Flat Rim Ware were found, (cf. Feachem Proa Soo Antiq Soot, 94) A robbed cairn of two phases was excavated. An outer kerb, 19m in diameter was largely in position, and the 13m diameter robbed inner kerb was located from stone holes . Within the central area, enclosed by the inner kerb four burials and pits were found. 1. Central pit, 30 v-perforated buttons, pulley ring and toggle; all of jet. 2 Shallow pit^burial, Beaker. 3. Partly sunken short-cist, jet necklace of 110 graded disc-beads. 4. Robbed short cist, large cap-stone (large erratic boulder shown on RCAHMS, •Peebles, No.24). In the area between the kerbs were five pits and burials. I. Disturbed pit, sherds of two different Beakers. 2. Small intrusive cist burial, complete late Beaker. 3.Small pit, scattered sherds of Beaker. 4. Cremation, Collared Urn, Accessory Vessel. 5. Unaccompanied cremation in pit. Loose finds indicated the former presence of at least one beaker burial and additional cremat- ions. CENTRAL STIRLING 4. DRUMQUHASSLE RCAHMS Roman Fort NS 484874 Trial excavation confirmed that the fort measured approx- imately 110m by 130m over the rampart.

FAIRY KNOWE Lorna Main SDD (AM) Broch NS 585942 Excavation of the main broch structure was completed (D-f.Ct: and Exe Scot, 1975, ?C, 77). The timber structure noted in 1977 was excavated and confirmed as a round house, 7.9m in diameter. Eleven main post holes were set around a hearth, and there was a ring groove, which contained regularly placed stake holes. Addition- al supports were provided at the entrance on the SE. The charred remains of five main structural uprights survived in situ. Finds included a rotary quern fragment, iron objects, Samlan and amphora sherds, stone weights and three sherds of native pottery. SOUTH FACE OF CAMPS1E FELLS - Survey R. M.Spearman, 'A.7).

The first two trenches yielded largely 18th century material, sealing a series of earlier tipped deposits. A further two trenches in the vicinity of the Queen Anne Gardens;- one brought a short stretch of probable 16th century wall foundation to light and the other an 18th century garden wall and associated cobbled surface. A fifth area was excavated to the North of the existing flanker chamber and most of the earlier 16th century flanker wall was ex- posed, thus confirming the findings of the earlier phase of excav- ations in this area. 8. TAPPOCH BROCH N. Aitchison Stone carving NS 833849 There is a complex carving on a recumbent stone slab at the end of the entrance passage, immediately inside the broch. The carving is of a bar, 14cm long, over an oval, 9cm wide at one end, and a figure of eight at the other.

Alex Gibson Abstract This paper summarises 80 years of ‘henge’ studies. It considers the range of monuments originally considered henges and how more diverse sites became added to the original list. It examines the diversity of monuments considered to be henges, their origins, their associated monument types and their dates. Since the introduction of the term, archaeologists have often been uncomfortable with it.

    RLHF Journal Vol.3 (1991/2) 5. Megaliths on Arran - Maths, Myths and Mysteries Aubrey Burl Buchan Lecture, 1991, Ayr (Society of Antiquaries of Scotland) Abstract The prehistoric archaeology of the islands of Malta and Arran is entirely different. That on Malta is characteristic of an “island culture' with unique styles of architecture unaffected by outside influences. Arran, despite the splendour of its megaliths, lacks such individuality. Its monuments are those of external culture. The explanation is simple. Malta is an isolated island fifty miles from Sicily and with no attractive local products to encourage trade. Arran is closely surrounded to north, west and east by the Scottish mainland, and lies at the intersection of several important routes. Its earliest megalithic sites are chambered tombs of the Clyde-Solway tradition with crescentic forecourts and segmented chambers. One, Monamore, excavated by Dr Euan MacKie in 1961, yielded calibrated dates ranging from 3900 to 2900 BC. In Great Britain most regional groups of tombs display an interest in particular orientations. The entrances of many Clyde-Solway tombs are generally aligned to the north east, perhaps toward the mid summer sunrise, and on Arran on the remote cairn of Carn Ban is almost perfectly directed towards this solar event. Other Arran tombs, however, do not share this orientation, demonstrating some fragmentation of beliefs. Carmahome, near Blackwaterfoot, is an oddity on Arran, a circular tomb of the Inverness-shire Clava passage-grave tradition, suggesting Middle or Late Neolithic contacts between Arran and the northern end of the Great Glen. The stone circles on Arran also share architectural traits with mainland regions.

  • 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).

  • Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant
    Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant Academia Isabel Frances Grant, MBE, LLD, was an author, historian, antiquarian, and founder of the Highland Folk Museum. Born in Edinburgh and educated in London, Dr. Grant was a descendant of the ancient family of Tullochgorm and the granddaughter of Field Marshal Sir Patrick Grant, GCB, GCMG. Dr. Grant wrote her first book, Everyday Life of an Old Highland Farm, in 1924. While traveling in Europe, she was influenced by the open air museum movement of the early 20th century. She started collecting items of Highland material culture and founded the Highland Folk Museum, called Am Fasgadh (The Shelter), firstly on the island of Iona, and later at Kingussie in Badenoch in 1944. Today, the museum is situated in Newtonmore. In recognition for her pioneering efforts, Miss Grant was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Edinburgh in 1948 and elevated to the rank of MBE in 1959. Dr. Grant wrote a number of books during her long life, including The Lordship of the Isles (1935), Highland Folk Ways (1961), and Periods in Highland History (1987, published posthumously with Hugh Cheape, PhD). Dr. I.F. Grant died in 1983 at the age of 96. Robert Edmond Grant, MD, FRCPE, FRS (1793-1874) established the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at University College, London, in 1828. He was born in Edinburgh and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Dr. Grant was the first professor of zoology and comparative anatomy in England and personally donated many of the specimens, dissection materials, diagrams and lecture notes that comprise the collections of the museum today.
