  • AJ at Oban Again! 22 Juli 2012
    AJ at Oban again! 22 juli 2012 Today Onno, Karien, Thierry, Rob and I left from Oban, after we did some shopping in town. Oban is a nice small village. Yesterday we had dinner near the harbour, prepairing for the trip. Packing the kayaks is always like making a big puzzle. After one hour all the stuff fitted. We left Oban at three o clock. It was quite a trip to the garvellachs. Headwinds and some swell from both sides. We saw puffins, gannet and even an otter close to the coast. After four hours we arrived at the garvellachs. A island with ruins of a monestary. This is where we stay for the night. Rain is coming. The wind was caching up last night together with the rain. We decided not to go for a paddle. With gusts of 6 bft and camping on such a nice spot it isnt that hard to decide to stay. The monestary was build 500 ad and d was getting bigger in the 9th century. In the 10th century the buildings were destroyed by the norman. To stay overnight you should be brave bevause the place is hounted! Well i slept very well last night.... We went for a walk in the afternoon. Its a beautiful island with lots of small plants and animals because of the hard conditions. We are all okay and have lots of fun, knowing that the weater will be better tomorrow. Yesterday we left the garvellachs and went for a paddle to the Grey Dogs. On our way we even saw dolfins! The trip was quite easy because there was no wind.

  • Kisimul Castle and the Origins of Hebridean Galley-Castles: Preliminary Thoughts
    Kisimul Castle and the Origins of Hebridean Galley-Castles: Preliminary Thoughts Ian R. Macneil Introduction INVESTIGATING the origins' of Kisimul Castle (Figure 1) reveals major problems in the historiography of Hebridean castles. • Debatable assumptions commonly become foundations for conclusions with little or no recognition that they are debatable. Indeed they do so even without recognition that they are assumptions and not demonstrated facts. • Too often information is analysed with inadequate attention to context. • The need for comprehensive systematic analysis and studies is ignored. • Narrow and historically inappropriate frames of reference all too often distort analyses. The upshot of all this is that conclusions based on evidence justifying only possibilities are confidently stated as probabilities or even as virtual certainties. Four propositions: In response to the foregoing, this paper advances four propositions: 1. All debatable assumptions must be recognised as such and then verified through specific explanation if possible and if not, discarded. 2. Information must never be analysed out of full context. Origins means such things as: Who had the castle built? Who were the actual builders? For what purposes was it built? How are those purposes reflected in its general and precise location? its design? materials used? What technologies and skills were required? What cultural sources and influences affected all such matters? When was it built? 22 Barra 10 0 10 20 30 4-0 FHT !!+!IHMlt I Figure I: Kisimul Castle cl 860s after extensive 'quarrying'. (Copyright Robert L Macneil, Jan R Macneil.) 3. Sound analysis of debatable issues can be based only on comprehensive studies, not on bits and pieces of selected information.
