  • Driving Edinburgh to Gairloch a Personal View Ian and Lois Neal
    Driving Edinburgh to Gairloch a personal view Ian and Lois Neal This is a personal account of driving the route from Edinburgh to Gairloch, supplemented by words and pictures trawled from the Internet. If we have used your material recklessly, we apologise; do let us know and we will acknowledge or remove it. Introduction to the Area As a settlement, Gairloch has a number of separately named and distinct points of focus. The most southerly is at Charlestown where you can find Gairloch's harbour. In more recent times the harbour was the base for the area's fishing fleet. Gairloch was particularly renowned for its cod. Much of the catch was dried at Badachro on the south shore of Loch Gairloch before being shipped to Spain. Today the harbour is used to land crabs, lobsters and prawns. Much of this also goes to the Spanish market, but now it goes by road. From here the road makes its way past Gairloch Golf Club. Nearby are two churches, the brown stone Free Church with its magnificent views over Loch Gairloch and the white-harled kirk on the inland side of the main road. Moving north along the A832 as it follows Loch Gairloch you come to the second point of focus, Auchtercairn, around the junction with the B8021. Half a mile round the northern side of Loch Gairloch brings you to Strath, which blends seamlessly with Smithtown. Here you will find the main commercial centre of Gairloch. Gairloch's history dates back at least as far as the Iron Age dun or fort on a headland near the golf club.

  • British Birds |
    BRITISH BIRDS NUMBER 3, VOL. XLVI, MARCH, 1953. MIGRATION IN LATE SEPTEMBER AND EARLY OCTOBER, 1951. BY DAVID JENKINS. INTRODUCTION. DURING the autumn of 1951 a party from Cambridge University visited south Norway in order to study migration. Towards the end of their visit a large scale passage of many species was observed (Mylne and Hyatt, 1952). On their return it became apparent that migration had been observed at many places throughout western Europe at the same time. In this paper an attempt has been made to collate observations of this movement and to establish some correlation with the prevailing weather conditions. No detailed conclusions can be drawn from fragmentary observations obtained from widely separated stations for a single migratory passage, but it is hoped that the paper may show that this approach can be developed with profit in the future. As it is thought that it would be unwise to draw any conclusions from a consideration of the meteorological conditions associated with one peak of passage alone, and since observations on the Continent showed that others occurred during September 1951, the weather during the month as a whole is considered and a comparison is made of the climatic features at the time of each peak. General pattern of migration during September-October, 1951. Although there were few days in September when no migration occurred, observations on the Continent indicate that there were definite peaks of movement. These peaks were spread over several days. Their existence may be seen by an examination of Tables I, II, III and IV which show the migration of certain Passerine species at observatories in Finland, Sweden, Norway and N.

  • 3 Landscape of the Galloway Glens
    3.1 What is ‘Landscape’? 3.1.1 Not just the visual The Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership Scheme (‘the Scheme’) has taken the opportunity to look at ‘landscape’ in its broadest possible sense. How do you define a landscape? It includes immediately obvious features such as the physical contours of the land, land use and settlement patterns, but also the more intanGible elements of an area: an understandinG of how it makes people feel, the influence of historical events, folk stories and mytholoGy and an acknowledGment of the challenGes and conflicts that miGht be runninG just beneath the surface – whether they be between humans, nature or any combination of these. This approach allows us to present not just a contemporary picture, but looks back to the past and into the future. 3.1.2 Definition The Scheme’s approach to landscape is consistent with the definition adopted by the European Landscape Convention (ELC): “An area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors.” 3.2 A Bird’s Eye View CLATTERINGSHAWS c. Stuart Littlewood Lying in South West Scotland, the Ken-Dee catchment is over 1050km2. It is bordered to the east by the River Urr and to the west by the River Fleet. From the summit of Cairnsmore of Carsphairn in the 16 north, the view stretches all the way down the valley towards KirkcudbriGht and the Solway Firth. On a clear day the Cumbrian hills and the Isle of Man are visible in the distance. Near the villaGe of Parton, the Water of Ken and the Black Water of Dee combine, takinG the ‘River Dee’ name and flowing down by Castle Douglas and then out to sea at KirkcudbriGht.

  • Prehistoric Round House Structures in Wester Ross, and in Selected Areas of Skye
    Prehistoric Round House Structures in Wester Ross, and in Selected Areas of Skye Collation and Analysis of Detailed Data with regard to distribution, construction and landscape settings Anna Welti Undergraduate Dissertation University of Aberdeen Dept of Scottish Cultural Studies and Archaeology 2011 This research is dedicated to my father A.G. MacGregor, MC,DSc, FRSE Abstract The aim of this study was to understand the reasons behind the siting and structure of roundhouses in Wester Ross. Some existing records are detailed and some are very brief: inter‐ site comparisons cannot easily be made. The project was designed as a field survey to record roundhouses and their settings in detail. A database would be produced for future researchers. Sketches and photographs were to be included in the record, which was to be formatted in a manner acceptable to Highland Council HER and RCAHMS Canmore. Roundhouse sites proved more numerous than records had suggested, hence the areas in the study were limited to four; Achiltibuie, Gairloch & Poolewe, Badachro, and selected parts of Skye. The sites in other areas of Wester Ross, Lochalsh and part of Skye have been recorded to the same standard and will later be included in the database. The current database includes 234 roundhouse sites and around 100 fields. It was tested with a variety of queries. These produced some informative results about structure, entrance orientations, site locations, enclosures and field systems. Individual clusters of roundhouses were studied to examine whether site differences could indicate chronological depth. These results, together with information from site plots on both Ordnance and Geological maps, as well as from aerial photographs, have given interesting insights into roundhouses and their locations.
