  • CITATION NESS of CULLIVOE SITE of SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Shetland Islands Site Code: 1217 NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: HP552024
    CITATION NESS OF CULLIVOE SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Shetland Islands Site code: 1217 NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: HP552024 OS 1:50,000 SHEET NO: Landranger Series 1 1:25,000 SHEET NO: Explorer Series 470 AREA: 11.07 hectares NOTIFIED NATURAL FEATURES Geological: Structural and metamorphic geology: Moine DESCRIPTION: The Ness of Cullivoe is a small peninsula which projects into Bluemull Sound from the north east of the island of Yell. Most of Yell is composed of rocks which are believed to be related to rocks in northern Scotland known as the Moine. Underlying these are ancient rocks similar to the Lewisian gneiss found in the Western Isles and along the north west coast of Scotland, whilst to the east the rocks forming the western sides of Unst and Fetlar are younger and are correlated with the Dalradian rocks of the southern Highlands of Scotland. All three groups are metamorphic rocks, i.e. rocks which have been altered by intense heat and pressure. The Ness of Cullivoe lies within a geological unit known as the Hascosay Slide - a zone of intensely deformed and sheared rocks, up to a kilometre wide, which marks the boundary between the Moine rocks of Yell and the Dalradian rocks to the east. The Hascosay Slide Zone mainly comprises fine grained, banded blastomylonite; a type of rock produced by intense shearing under very high temperature conditions deep in the Earth’s crust. Caught up within these fine grained rocks are large bodies of coarse grained Lewisian gneiss. The rocks of the Hascosay slide provide important evidence about the geological evolution of Shetland and the formation, around 430 million years ago, of the Caledonian Mountain Belt of Britain and Scandinavia.

  • To See the 2020 Programme
    www.cullivoeuphellyaa.comwww.cullivoeuphellyaa.com Wir Guizer Jarl - Craig Dickie Craig is a Cullivoe man through and through, although his work has taken him all over Scotland in the last few years. Growing up in North Yell, Craig has always looked forward to taking part in Up Helly Aa, first with the school squad, before becoming a member of the 'Young Turks' in 2003. Craig’s first Jarl Squad outing was with his brother Campbell, who was Jarl in 2011, following the tradition of their father Hubert, who was Jarl in 1977. Outgoing Jarl James Nicholson asked Craig if he would be interested in taking the helm, and Craig has been honoured to. In 2013, Craig's wife Becky bought him three Highland cattle, and the hobby has grown since, so the mascot for this year's festival is Craig’s new Highland bull Chieftain of Tordarroch. Alongside the 15 men in the squad are Craig's three children Jessica (14), Monica (11) and Rosie (10) who are participating as Viking Warriors, and are looking forward to taking their battle stations. All three of the girls have loved taking part in the schools’ Up Helly Aa traditions - the festival is very much in their Cullivoe DNA. Up Helly Aa wouldn't happen without the support of so many members of the community and wider area. In particular Craig would like to thank James for his nomination, all of the squad for their uproarious support and help, his wonderful musicians who have provided them with many great tunes, the galley builders, the South Mainland Up Helly Aa committee members who have allowed us the use of their blueprints, and for their warm welcome in Cunningsburgh.

  • Five Walks in Yell & Fetlar
    Five walks in Yell & Fetlar area to get you out & about and get more physically active! WANDERS Yell & Fetlar PEERIE PEERIE WANDERS “Peerie Wanders” has been designed and developed by NHS Shetland Health Improvement Department in collaboration with Shetland Islands Council to help you be more active. This booklet contains a number of walks to get you out & about and help you on your journey to become more active! WHY WALKING? Brisk walking is a great way to be active and stay healthy—it’s not surprising that walking is the most popular leisure activity in Scotland. Walking is suitable for almost everyone and you don’t have to be fit to start with—you just have to get started. WHY BE MORE ACTIVE? The human body needs to be active to function properly, but modern living means that most of us are not active enough. Being more active means: • More energy • Stronger, toned muscles • A lower risk of heart disease, stroke and osteoporosis • A greater sense of well-being • Help to sleep better • Improved confidence HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BE ACTIVE? Guidelines state that you should aim to do 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week: Aim to build up half an hour of moderate activity on most days to try and meet the guidelines. These book lets are designed to help you get walking to reach your goal. If you combine walking with other activities then all the better. GETTING STARTED These walks vary in length from 1km to 5km. The aim is that the more you walk and the fitter you get, the longer duration of walks you will be able to manage helping you to progress.

  • Local Landscape Areas- Draft
    Shetland Local Development Plan Consultation Draft 2014 Supplementary Guidance Landscape Areas Local DRAFT LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Supplementary Guidance - Local Landscape Areas- Draft The Shetland Local Development Plan (the Plan), together with any Supplementary Guidance, sets out the policies and criteria against which planning applications submitted in Shetland will be considered. This Supplementary Guidance sets out detailed policy advice to help you meet the requirements of the Plan. It is therefore recommended that it is read in conjunction with the policies in the Plan and any other Supplementary Guidance relevant to the type of development proposed. The purpose of this Supplementary Guidance (SG) is to provide additional information and maps of the proposed Local Landscape Areas. Introduction The purpose of the Local Landscape Areas is to ensure sympathetic siting and design of new development within the Local Landscape Areas, (LLA). It is not the intention of the Council to prevent development, but to encourage appropriate consideration of the landscape. The introduction of Local Landscape Areas will help to protect and enhance some of Shetlands unique environment and may provide direction for access and tourism. The information used to devise the Local Landscape Areas SG has been produced from the research conducted by Land Use Consultants. The full report including the research methodology can be seen in Shetland Islands Local Landscape Designation Review. The proposed Local Landscape Areas are; 1. Ronas Hill 2. Nibon and Mangaster 3. Vementry and West Burrafirth 4. Papa Stour and Sandness 5. Walls and Vaila 6. Culswick and Westerwick 7. Weisdale 8. Scat Ness and Sumburgh Head 9.
