  • The Paleolithic and Mesolithic Occupation of the Isle of Jura, Argyll

    The Paleolithic and Mesolithic Occupation of the Isle of Jura, Argyll

    John MERCER, Edinburgh THE PALAEOLITHIC AND MESOLITHIC OCCUPATION OF THE ISLE OF JURA, ARGYLL, SCOTLAND The occupation sequence about to be described has been built up from a dozen sites concentrated in N-Jura (Mercer, 1968-79).It is based on local land-sea relationships, site stratification, pollen analysis, drifted-pumice dating and radiocarbon assay.The paper 1 will begin with a discussion of the inter-linked shorelines and climate, then give an impression of the main sites and, finally, describe and compare the stone implement typology. Late Glacial habitat 2017 Jura is a vast island (fig.1) some 80 km (50 m) long.It rises to about 780 m (2500ft) Biblioteca, in the south and 470 m (1500 ft)in the north. Several recent papers have shown that W-Scotland was suitable for human habita­ ULPGC. tion from 11,000 or 10,500 BC. Kirk and Godwin (1963) described an organic level por at Loch Drama (Ross and Cromarty) which, with a C14 date of 12,810 ± 155 be (Q-457), had not since been overlaid by ice, although in a through valley.Kirk com­ realizada mented: "In view of its location on the exposed, north-west Atlantic rim of Scotland one would except ...an onset of milder oceanic conditions at an earlier date than localities in the English Lowlands or the North European Plain." He concluded his Digitalización contribution: " ... it would appear that in Northern Scotland the process of degla­ ciation was not unlike that established for Scandinavia, namely an early and rapid autores. los melt of the ice in western fjords and a longer survival in uplands east of the Atlantic watershed.The significance of such a possibility for plant, animal and human coloni­ sation needs no stressing." documento, Del Coope (summarised in Pennington, 1974), working on beetle remains, noted that © early in Zone I (12,380-10,000 BC) there was a rapid rise in temperature, from less than 10° C as a July average to almost 17° C, though winters may have remained cold.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

The village has an idyllic position on the banks of the River Tay and is characterised by its traditional stone houses. Strathtay has a friendly community with a village shop and post office at its heart. A bridge over the Tay links Strathtay to Grandtully where there is now a choice of places to eat out. Aberfeldy is the nearest main centre and has all essential services, including a medical centre. The town has a great selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, not to mention the Birks cinema which as well as screening mainstream films has a popular bar and café and hosts a variety of community activities. Breadalbane Academy provides nursery to sixth year secondary education. Dallraoich could hardly be better placed for enjoying the outdoors. In addition to a 9 hole golf course at Strathtay, there are golf courses at Aberfeldy, Kenmore, Taymouth Castle, Dunkeld and Pitlochry. Various water sports take place on nearby lochs and rivers, with the rapids at Grandtully being popular for canoeing and rafting.

  • Highland Perthshire Through the Archive

    Highland Perthshire Through the Archive

    A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide.

  • The Potential Detrimental Impact of the New Zealand Flatworm to Scottish

    The Potential Detrimental Impact of the New Zealand Flatworm to Scottish

    B. Boag and R. Neilson Boag, B. and R. Neilson. The potential detrimental impact of the New Zealand fl atworm to Scottish islands The potential detrimental impact of the New Zealand fl atworm to Scottish islands B. Boag and R. Neilson The James Hutton Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee, Scotland, DD2 5DA, UK. <[email protected]>. Abstract: The New Zealand fl atworm, Arthurdendyus triangulatus, is an alien invasive species in The British Isles and the Faroes. It was probably fi rst introduced after WWII and is an obligate predator of our native earthworms. It was initially considered a curiosity until observations in the 1990s in Northern Ireland found it could signifi cantly reduce earthworm numbers. In 1992, it was scheduled under the Countryside and Wildlife Act 1981 then transferred to the Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act in 2011 which makes it an off ence to knowingly distribute the fl atworm. A retrospective survey in Scotland showed that it was detected in botanic gardens, nurseries and garden centres in the 1960s but then spread to domestic gardens then fi nally to farms in the 1990s. Although the geographical distribution of A. triangulatus was initially confi ned to mainland Scotland it was subsequently found established on 30 Scottish Islands. Most of the islands are to the north and west of Scotland and have cool damp climates which are favoured by the New Zealand fl atworm. These islands also generally have relatively poor soils that support grassland farming systems. Evidence from both Northern Ireland and Scotland suggests anecic species of earthworm which occur predominantly in grassland, which help drainage and are a source of food for both animals and birds are at particular risk from the fl atworm.
