  • Annual Shetland Pony Sale – Lerwick 2011
    ANNUAL SHETLAND PONY SALE – LERWICK 2011 Shetland’s annual show and sale of Shetland Ponies was held on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th October 2011 at the Shetland Rural Centre, Lerwick. Entries for the sale were down on previous years with 133 ponies entered in this year’s catalogue. In particular there were fewer colt foals and fillies entered than usual meaning that the majority of ponies offered for sale were filly foals. Top price at the sale went to Mrs L J Burgess for her standard piebald filly foal, Robin’s Brae Pippa by HRE Fetlar, which realised 600 gns to A A Robertson, Walls, Shetland. HRE Fetlar achieved a gold award in the Pony Breeders of Shetland Association Shetland Pony Evaluation Scheme. The champion filly foal from the previous day’s show, Mrs M Inkster’s standard black filly, Laurenlea Louise by Birchwood Pippin, sold at 475 gns to Miss P J J Gear, Foula. Champion colt foal Niko of Kirkatown by Loanin Cleon, from Mr D A Laurenson, Haroldswick sold for 10 gns to Claire Smith, Punds, Sandwick. Regrettably, demand and prices in general were poor and some ponies passed through the ring unsold. Local sales accounted for a good proportion of trade as did the support of the regular buyers that make the annual trip from mainland UK to attend the sale each year. The show of foals on Thursday evening was judged by Mr Holder Firth, Eastaben, Orkney and his prizewinners and the prices that they realised, if sold, were as follows: Standard Black Filly Foals Gns 1st Laurenlea Louise Mrs M Inkster, Haroldswick, Unst 475 2nd Robin’s

  • TINGWALL: the SIGNIFICANCE of the NAME Gillian Fellows-Jensen
    TINGWALL: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NAME Gillian Fellows-Jensen Introduction: thing and ting1 In present-day English the word thing means 'an entity of any kind', concrete or abstract, as in the pronouns anything, something or nothing. It can even be used as a term of endearment, at least to those not in a position to remonstrate, for example Alice in Wonderland, into whose arm the Duchess tucked her arm affectionately, saying 'You can't think how glad I am to see you again, you dear old thing!' In the modem Scandinavian languages, too, the cognate word ting has the same all-embracing kind of meaning and is found in pronouns such as Danish nogenting 'anything' and ingenting 'nothing'. When used of a person, however, it is generally in a derogatory sense, referring mainly to women who are old, ugly or loose-living or perhaps all three at once (ODS s.v. ting). As a place-name specific or generic, it is clear that thing must have a concrete significance. There are a number of field-names recorded in Middle English and early Modern English sources in which it is compounded with a personal name or a term denoting a human-being and seems to have the sense 'possession'. The earliest example I have noted is Aynoifesthyng 1356 in Ash in Surrey (Gover et al. 1933: 270) but the vast majority of occurrences date from the 15th to the l 7th centuries. In Old English and the other early Germanic languages, however, the word thing and its cognates, which were all of neuter gender, had the meaning 'assembly, meeting' and it is from this meaning that the modern, more general meaning has developed.

  • 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.
