DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Clerk – hoping to be a member of the rowing club applying for the grant (Item 5) Cllr G Smith – member of SIC Planning Committee so will leave the room for Item 7. D. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 2 MAY 2017 The minutes of the meeting held on Tuesday 2 May 2017 were approved on the motion of Mrs L Johnston and seconded by Mr E MacPherson. 1. MATTERS ARISING Kjurkhul Track The application to the SIC Community Development Fund for Projects has been accepted and the extra information they requested – proof of who owns the land the track is on and confirmation that the landowner is happy for the work to go ahead – has also been accepted. Letters and emails of support from community groups and residents are now being gathered to strengthen the application and if they are submitted in the next day or two then a decision can probably be made before the end of the week. The Paths for All application has reached the next stage but the full application needs to be in on Friday. It is hoped that the SIC grant will be successful meaning that the more complicated process of applying for the Paths for All money will not need to happen. Mossy Hill Windfarm 2017/104/SCO Proposed wind farm, Mossy Hill, Hill of Dale, Hill of Tagdale, Mainland Shetland An email from Lerwick Community Council was read and noted. It advised that the wind farm applicants have agreed to attend the LCC’s October meeting at which point they will be further down the line with the application and are able to answer questions. Members noted that Community Council meetings are open to the public so it would also be a good opportunity for people from within the Gulberwick area to be able to attend and find out more. The clerk can help advertise the event closer to October 2nd. An email from a Gulberwick resident was read and noted. He strongly objects to the development and says that the 12/14 giant windmills will be seen out his front window and the subsequent devaluation of his house and neighbouring houses is inacceptable. The clerk has already replied stating that the Community Council has already responded to the application and shared what the response was. She also advised that his email would be discussed at tonight’s meeting and will be taken into consideration when members are asked to comment at the next stage. Cllr Wishart was able to share that she had replied on behalf of the SIC councillors and had further explained the planning application process to him. DECISION: Clerk to advertise the Lerwick Community Council meeting closer to October. The email from the objector to be kept on file and revisited when the next stage of the planning application goes through. Wind Mills and Housing/Planning Advice Mr MacPherson requested guidance notes on the regulations surrounding wind turbines and housing/planning following a presentation by the Director of Development Services, Neil Grant, at the latest Association of Community Councils meeting. The guidance notes have been emailed to the clerk and she has passed them on to all members. 2. POLICE REPORT PC Duncan began by sharing information about a roadshow which is coming up to Shetland called Scambusters. It is aimed to raise awareness about nuisance/scam phone calls such as those from people claiming to be from banks, and should help vulnerable adults in particular. The problem of junk mail will also be covered. The South End roadshow will be on Friday: 1015-1045 - Cunningsburgh Under 5's 1100-1130 - South Mainland Kindergym 1200-1300 - South Mainland Leisure Centre 1300-1400 - Overtonlea Care Centre Dementia café 1400-1500 - Levenwick Health Centre. It is also Counter Terrorism Awareness Week so although luckily it is not as much of a concern up here, Shetland is still taking part. The Shetland Policing Report for May had already been supplied to Community Council but the officers gave extra detail on two of the twelve cases for the area. One person is to be charged with speeding through the 20mph limit outside Cunningsburgh School and one driver is likely to be charged with drink driving. Members asked whether the main road through Quarff is still a priority for officers out with the speed gun and PC Hannah assured everyone that it still was. Each area gets allocated a certain amount of time and Quarff is also regularly mentioned as a place to bear in mind for random checks with both the marked and unmarked police cars. ----- PC Hannah and PC Duncan left the meeting 7:50pm ----- 3. QUARFF MAIN ROAD An email from Dave Coupe, SIC Executive Manager for Roads, was read and noted. He is unable to provide a more accurate date when the red hatching and other road markings are to be painted due to the contract currently being out for tender. The request for new speed tests sited in different places so that cars slowing for the junctions do not have an effect was also rejected as Roads feel it would provide no additional data of any benefit. Members asked that the SIC councillors follow up the question about timing of the line painting as it is taking longer than originally promised. DECISION: Clerk to forward the email to SIC Councillors 4. FINANCIAL MONITORING REPORT The bank balance on June 13 2017 was £13,971.94. A £50 Voar Redd Up cheque to the Aald Rock Ministries Skill Centre has been cashed as well as the Cunningsburgh Hall’s £50 cheque from the money given by the Rotary Club to go towards their senior citizens Christmas party. The only other transaction not of a routine nature was the £3,000 for the Community Development Fund. The clerk has estimated the expenditure for 2017/8 at £6,484 meaning there will be in the region of £5,000 to go towards grants. Ten percent of the core grant is usually carried over each year. 5. GRANT APPLICATIONS There were two grant applications to consider this month. The Gulberwick and Quarff Rowing Club has been restarted and needs funds to repair the yoal. Members looked favourably on the application but postponed a decision until the next meeting so that the club can get all the paperwork in order. DECISION: Clerk to contact the club asking for the last set of accounts – if available, the latest bank statement, a written quote from the boat builder, and confirmation that they have a constitution and other relevant paperwork. The application will be considered at the August meeting if all of those conditions have been satisfactorily met. The second grant application was from Cunningsburgh Football Club looking for money to go towards renewing rabbit proof meshing on half of the external pitch fence. DECISION: Members decided to award £250 to the club. Clerk to post out a letter and cheque advising them of the decision. 6. ZetTRANS DRAFT MAIN ISSUES REPORT An email regarding the report, which had already been circulated to members for consideration, was read and noted. Members discussed how reports such as this come with reams of documents to read through which can be difficult when you have taken on the role of Community Councillor as a volunteer.

  • 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).

  • The History of Language in Shetland
    Language in Shetland We don’t know much about Pre-300AD the people of Shetland or Before the Picts The history of their language. Pictish people carve symbols 300AD-800AD language in into stone and speak a ‘Celtic’ Picts language. Shetland Vikings occupy the isles and introduce ‘Norn’. They carve S1-3 800AD-1500AD symbols called ‘runes’ into Vikings stone. The Picts and their language are then wiped out by Vikings. Scotland rule gradually influences life on the islands. The Scottish language 1500AD onwards eventually becomes the Scots prominent language. The dialect Shetlanders Today speak with today contains Us!

  • 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.

  • An Old Find from Shetland Re-Interpreted | 119 Doi
    Proc Soc AntiqANOTHER Scot 147 PICTISH (2017), 119–126 CROSS-OF-ARCS: AN OLD FIND FROM SHETLAND RE-INTERPRETED | 119 DOI: https://doi.org/10.9750/PSAS.147.1238 Another Pictish cross-of-arcs: an old find from Shetland re-interpreted Anna Ritchie1 ABSTRACT A fragment of carved stone known as ‘Lerwick’ (NMS X.IB.19) is argued to have come, most probably, from the Pictish levels at Jarlshof, Dunrossness, Shetland, sometime before June 1861. The stone bears part of a Pictish crescent symbol on one side and part of a cross-of-arcs embellished with decorated lentoid forms on the other. The symbol-bearing cross-slab from which the fragment comes probably dates to the 7th century and may have stood in or near a churchyard at Jarlshof. It is compared with the cross-slabs from Papil and Bressay and with fragments of similar Shetland stones, and its place in the development of the cross-of-arcs is discussed. In the collections of National Museums Scotland extant. At the time of the sale in 1882, Alexander is a small fragment of a Pictish carved stone for Cunningham Hay wrote to John Alexander Smith which the given provenance is simply ‘Lerwick at the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland: ‘We Museum’. This was a museum in the Tolbooth have tried all means to recover the Catalogue in Lerwick and it belonged to the Shetland of the Museum but without success’ (National Literary and Scientific Society, founded in Museums Scotland Research Centre, NMS SAS 1861 to ‘promote the formation of a Museum UC 85/9, 30 October 1882).
