  • Dipterists Digest
    Dipterists Digest Scottish Islands Series Edited by Derek Whiteley Contributions by E.G. Hancock, A.R. Plant, K.P. Bland, 0. Whiteley, D. Horsfield Introduction E.G. Hancock Between 25-29 June 1990, ttie 10th Annual Scottish Entomologists' Field Meeting was located on Rum, previously spelt Rhum, apparently Incorrectly (Campbell, 1991). To mark a decade of these field meetings it was appropriate to be invited by the Nature Conservancy Council to spend a week recording insects there. Twenty two entomologists travelled to the west of Scotland of whom fourteen contributed records of Diptera. In the past, and since then, the support of the NCC and its successor bodies has been of great benefit to these annual field meetings which has been reciprocated by the provision of records on the sites visited. In 1990 we were specifically invited to Rum for several reasons. This island is one of the Inner Hebrides and has been managed as a National Nature Reserve since 1957. It has been over twenty years since extensive systematic recording viras last undertaken and subsequently published as an impressive listing (Wormell, 1982). Also the effect of new management practices were beginning to have an effect on the landscape which might be reflected in a change in the insect fauna. The most visible of these was a programme of tree planting, sometimes within fenced areas to protect the plants from grazing damage by red deer, it has been shown in some of the results already published (Hancock, 1992) that there are some detectable additions to the fauna attributable to the greater abundance and variety of trees.

  • A Landscape Fashioned by Geology
    Rum and the Small Isles : A landscape fashioned by geology The rugged, wild, mountainous landscape of Rum owes its creation to a geological history that stretches back nearly 3000 million years. For such a small island the range of scenery is remarkable - from the jagged peaks of Askival and Hallival in the east, to the rounded hills of Orval and Ard Nev in the west and the flatlands of Kinloch Glen. The spectacular panorama from Rum encompasses the sloping RUM AND THE backbone of Eigg, the rich green pasture of diminutive Muck and the carved basalt coastline embracing Canna and the low-lying Sanday. Held together by the sea, these islands combine a richness of landform, colour and texture with ever-changing light and dramatic weather. Find out how this mecca for geologists was formed over millions of years in this riveting tale of deserts and oceans, volcanoes and glaciers.

  • Local Government and Communities Committee
    Local Government and Communities Committee The Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (Licensing of Short-term Lets) Order 2021 The Town and Country Planning (Short-term Let Control Areas) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 Submission by Paul Banks I wish to object to the fact that B&B’s are now being included in this draft. Traditional bed and breakfast businesses are under threat and as a trade could disappear completely because of this legislation. It’s beyond belief that the Scottish government would not include these business in an exclusion. Submission by Nanette Cowieson I write to you with my concerns regarding the Short Term Lets Legislation and the impact on B&Bs and Self-Catering. We are in the business of providing high quality hosting to visitors from the UK and globally. We oppose the proposed scheme to license Short-term lets as it will have a huge negative impact on a struggling tourist industry trying to recover from the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic. We are a small micro-business, and the introduction of an onerous licensing system would add additional legislative and administrative burdens. Scotland is a world renown tourist destination, and the Scottish Government national tourism strategy says that ‘it aims to make Scotland a first-choice destination for a high quality, value for money and memorable customer experience delivered by skilled and passionate people’. This proposal does not promote tourism or protect the long-term sustainability of local communities, both those directly involved in visitor accommodation and those satellite businesses that provide services to tourists. This could lead to a number of businesses leaving the hospitality sector for good thereby reducing the availability of options to tourists and diminishing the overall Scottish offering.

  • Reading List 2013.Pdf
    Rum Reading List “Bare Feet and Tackety Boots: A boyhood on the Isle of Rum" - Archie Cameron In this text, the last survivor of those who were born and raised on the island of Rhum before World War I presents a social history and personal anecdote of a way of life gone not long ago but already almost forgotten. “Rum: A Landscape without Figures" - John A Love This is an account of Rum, one of the Hebrides and the people who contributed to its story. The site of some of the earliest settlements in Scotland, Rum's history extends back to the Mesolithic period. It was also an isolated haven for the early Celtic Church in the figure of Beccan the Solitary, and later formed part of the territories of the Vikings and Clanranalds, and ultimately the Macleans of Coll. Its population were driven out to North America between 1826 and 1828 and the Bulloughs, a family of Lancashire industrialists, bought the island towards the end of the nineteenth century and left a bizarre legacy of Edwardiana in the form of Kinloch castle and its grand contents. This work paints a picture of the island as a rich cultural and natural heritage that eminently justifies its status as one of Scotland's finest nature reserves. "Rum: Nature’s Island" - Magnus Magnusson A fascinating story of the Hebridean island of Rum, from well-known broadcaster and writer Magnus Magnusson. It moves from the earliest times, through the clearances and its period as a sporting playground of the rich to its rebirth as a National Nature Reserve.

  • The Story of Rum National Nature Reserve
    Scotland’s National Nature Reserves For further information about Rum National Nature Reserve please contact: Scottish Natural Heritage, White House, Isle of Rum, Inverness-shire, PH43 4RR Telephone 01687 462026 Fax 01687 462805 E-mail: [email protected] The Story of Rum National Nature Reserve The Story of Rum National Nature Reserve Foreword Extinct volcanoes, wilderness, and spectacular wildlife await visitors to Rum National Nature Reserve (NNR). The island of Rum lies 25 kilometres off the coast from Mallaig on the west coast of Scotland. Conical shaped mountains and ancient rock formations provide clues to the dramatic volcanic beginnings of Rum. Ice has also shaped this island, but it is the debris from the volcano that is responsible for one of the great marvels of Rum. Here, on a mountain top, is one of the world’s largest colony of Manx shearwater – at least 23% of the world’s breeding population. Sea cliffs also support magnificent colonies of other seabirds, red-throated divers breed on inland lochans and golden and white-tailed sea eagles soar high above the mountains and moorland. More obscure wildlife includes rare plants, a rich diversity of mosses, lichen and fungi, and thousands of types of invertebrates. Otters also abound along the shorelines. An incredible mix of habitats supports this wealth of wildlife. Heaths, grasslands, sea cliffs, crevices and peatlands peppered with lochs and lochans have also earned the Reserve international recognition. Thousands of people visit Rum each year, many to see the wildlife, others just to walk and enjoy the landscape. While much of the island looks wild and natural, it bears the imprint of human settlement over much of the last 8000 years.
