The meeting will be held at 7.30pm in the Cunningsburgh School. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2013 9:55 AM 3a Subject: RE: Gulberwick School Bus Routes Jolene, Shurton Brae is a priority 2 but it is one of the last to be done on this route (see attached plan). The gritter starts at 6am in Aithsetter, Cunningsburgh and heads north along the A970, into the Black Gaet and then back along the A970 to the North Gulberwick Junction. Since both lanes of the priority 1 road between the north and south Gulberwick junctions has been treated during the first pass the gritter turns into the junction and does the priority 2 Gulberwick Loop before heading south to Sandwick on the A970. It then does the priority 2 roads in Sandwick, Cunningsburgh, Fladdabister, Quarff and Shurton Brae. I understand that there are school bus routes along all these roads. Treating Shurton Brae after the Gulberwick Loop would result in an unacceptable delay to the treatment of the A970. We would also be prioritising one school bus route over others. The route and the order that it is done in is the best possible regime that we can put in place with the number of gritters and driver/roadworkers that we have available. Please phone or e-mail if your Council has any further queries regarding this matter.

  • Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions
    Records of species and subspecies recorded in Scotland on up to 20 occasions In 1993 SOC Council delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List (list of all species and subspecies of wild birds recorded in Scotland). In turn, SBRC appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function. Current members are Dave Clugston, Ron Forrester, Angus Hogg, Bob McGowan Chris McInerny and Roger Riddington. In 1996, Peter Gordon and David Clugston, on behalf of SBRC, produced a list of records of species recorded in Scotland on up to 5 occasions (Gordon & Clugston 1996). Subsequently, SBRC decided to expand this list to include all acceptable records of species recorded on up to 20 occasions, and to incorporate subspecies with a similar number of records (Andrews & Naylor 2002). The last occasion that a complete list of records appeared in print was in The Birds of Scotland, which included all records up until 2004 (Forrester et al. 2007). During the period from 2002 until 2013, amendments and updates to the list of records appeared regularly as part of SBRC’s Scottish List Subcommittee’s reports in Scottish Birds. Since 2014 these records have appear on the SOC’s website, a significant advantage being that the entire list of all records for such species can be viewed together (Forrester 2014). The Scottish List Subcommittee are now updating the list annually. The current update includes records from the British Birds Rarities Committee’s Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 2015 (Hudson 2016) and SBRC’s Report on rare birds in Scotland, 2015 (McGowan & McInerny 2017).

Running head: The last Scottish Ice Sheet Cambridge University1 Press Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh Page 2 of 88 ABSTRACT: The last Scottish Ice Sheet (SIS) expanded from a pre-existing ice cap after ~35 ka. Highland ice dominated, with subsequent build up of a Southern Uplands ice mass. The Outer Hebrides, Skye, Mull, the Cairngorms and Shetland supported persistent independent ice centres. Expansion was accompanied by ice-divide migration and switching flow directions. Ice nourished in Scotland reached the Atlantic Shelf break in some sectors but only mid-shelf in others, was confluent with the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS) in the North Sea Basin, extended into northern England, and fed the Irish Sea Ice Stream and a lobe that reached East Anglia.

  • Doreen J. Waugh
    Doreen J. Waugh In (and around) Scatness* Introduction Place-names are cultural artefacts which can be scrutinised by researchers, in much the same way that a structure emerging out of the ground at the Old Scatness archaeological dig can be examined, with the aim of extracting from the individual place-name some information about the people who first created it, the linguistic and cultural environment in which they used it and the changing historical environment in which it then survived throughout ensuing centuries. The basic task of the toponymist is 'to provide etymologies based on the collection and study of early spellings', as Margaret Gelling noted in her excellent study of Place-Names in the Landscape (Gelling 1984, 1-2). Archaeologists, historians and scholars in other disciplines can then use the material as a supportive, analytical tool. One Shetland historian, at least, would argue that 'Scholars of place-names should aim to do more than collect names (or celebrate the 'nation' which coined them). They should attempt to reconstruct, or at least probe into, the societies where the names came to life' (Smith 1995, 26). Toponymists and archaeologists may approach their raw material in different ways, but it has long been recognised that the two disciplines are complementary. For the toponymist, the existence of an archaeological site can confirm the appropriateness of a place-name and, if the site has been excavated and dated, can help towards identifying a date for the creation of the place-name, which is often otherwise very difficult to establish, particularly in places like Shetland where the early written record is limited in extent.

    SHETLAND AMENITY TRUST Shetland Amenity Trust Annual Report 2015/2016 1 SHETLAND AMENITY TRUST INTRODUCTION July 2015 saw the launch of the €3.92 million Follow The Vikings project . Shetland Amenity Trust is the lead partner in this exciting transnational project which has 15 full partners and 10 associate partners with a geographical spread over 13 countries. The 4-year project will celebrate Viking heritage throughout Europe and will have a particular emphasis on creativity and culture, including the creation of a website and an international touring event. There will also be an emphasis on training volunteers at a local level and skills exchange. The project will seek to develop audiences through a variety of new technologies, build business models through sharing best practice and will strengthen the international network of professionals and institutions working in the field of Viking heritage. As we approach the end of the year, the prospect of further reductions in core funding will bring new challenges to the Trust in its role as a champion of Shetland’s Culture and Heritage. We are confident that we will be able to continue to deliver a high quality service to Shetland. 2 SHETLAND AMENITY TRUST TRUST OBJECTIVES General The Trust objectives are: At the Trust’s AGM in September 2015 Mr L. Johnston retired from the Trust. A secret ballot was held at which (a) The protection, improvement and enhancement 4 nominations were considered and Mr A.
