This report presents the results of the 2003 census, conducted between 27th and 31 March 2003 surveying a total of 323 islands and mainland sites along the west and north coasts of Scotland and Ireland. In Ireland, 30 sites were found to hold 9,034 Greenland Barnacle Geese and in Scotland, 35 sites were found to hold 47,256.

Island Place-Names
Island Place-names Dr Jacob King The names of Scotland’s islands are a fascinating window into the country’s linguistic landscape; the languages of the Gaels, the Vikings and the Angles have all left their mark across the north-western seaboard. The Earliest names Evidence from historical sources suggest there may have existed an unknown language in Scotland prior to the arrival of the later, historic languages. This language might have been utterly forgotten were it not for a handful of names of rivers, islands and regions. Many theories have been put forward as to the identity of the language from which these names derive and what the names may have originally meant, but the jury is still out on the majority of them. Names such as Mull, Unst and Uist all defy analysis. Likewise, Islay is from Gaelic Ìle, the -s- in the English form was inserted on analogy with words like isle and island, but its original meaning has nonetheless been lost. Lewis appears to be from a Norse word Ljóðhús meaning ‘song house’; this is rather an odd name to be given to an island, maybe the Norse adapted it from an earlier unknown language? Norse Names At least in the north, the first historical people to make their linguistic mark on the Scottish seaboard were the Norse or the Vikings. Being a seafaring people, it is no surprise that most Norse place-names appear round the coast of Northern Britain. In general, island names ending in -aigh, -ey, -ay and -a are of Norse origin, reflecting the Norse word for island, øy.

1 Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee
RURAL ECONOMY AND CONNECTIVITY COMMITTEE SALMON FARMING IN SCOTLAND SUBMISSION FROM SEA CHANGE WESTER ROSS Sea Change Wester Ross emerged as a community group set up to protect Wester Ross Marine Protected Area and give the public a voice for improved management of the marine environment. We speak for those in the community who care about the potential for recovery of the ecosystem, coastal economy and fisheries which are all interconnected. Since dredgers were banned, Sea Change has evolved into a think tank making our own conclusions on scientific and Government papers. These are often different from the prevalent Industry view, and sometimes also the authors. The context for our concern is that the greatest challenge our species is facing is to find solutions to rapid population expansion and an equally rapid loss of biodiversity combined with over fishing, global warming and ocean acidification. The Government’s intention to double salmon farms by 2030 ignores the limits of the ecosystem and the cumulative impacts it can absorb. Coastal economics in particular cannot be separated from the marine environment and many reports we have read focus exclusively on benefits to one industry and assume limitless capacity. Those of us in the think tank have an alternative coastal economy in mind - one built on an understanding of the interconnections within the ecosystem and true sustainability. This alternative economy would work with nature to build on the positive benefits restoration affords. Alistair Sinclair of the Scottish Creel Fishermen’s Federation (the creel and dive fisheries) has spoken of a vision for an alternative coastal economy built upon support for low impact fisheries.

NORTH-WEST SCOTLAND This Trip Was Made Over Three Weeks in May
TRIP 5: NORTH-WEST SCOTLAND This trip was made over three weeks in May and June 2014. I travelled by train, bus and ferry, in particular the D&E Coaches Summer Service 804 from Inverness to Durness. Also highly recommended are the beautiful ferry crossings from Ullapool to Stornoway and from Tarbert to Uig. Surprisingly to me, I found it necessary to book b&bs in advance as many were already full. Place names are spelt according to the latest OS maps. 60: Badentarbat Beach, Coigach, Wester Ross The drive from Ullapool to the Summer Isles, however you do it, is unforgettable. I did it as the only passenger of the local bus driver so was able to view it all and ask questions at the same time. First, there is the view north-west along Loch Broom from Ardmair towards the Summer Isles; then there is the drive between Ben More Coigach and Stac Polly past three consecutive lochs, looking back and forth in amazement. Finally, the road emerges at the lovely beach of Achnahaird before crossing a short stretch of moorland to Achiltibuie and your first proper sight of the Summer Isles. Photo 1143: Map of the first part of the trail: each square is 1k (Crown copyright 2015, Ordnance Survey FL-GV 166842) I was bowled over by the dream-like quality of this view with low-lying islands of various shapes and sizes dotted over the wide expanse of water where Loch Broom meets the Minch. The bus takes you down the coast to Badenscallie. I suggest you get off there and walk back along the coast road past Polglass and Achiltibuie towards Polbain for a more leisurely view of the Isles.

Interreg 3B: Coastatlantic Atlantic Coast (Wester Ross) Project COASTAL PLAN FOR THE TWO BROOMS AREA September 2006 Planning and Development Service Highland Council TWO BROOMS COASTAL PLAN 1 2 TWO BROOMS COASTAL PLAN Foreword The coast and inshore waters of Highland are two of the region’s most important natural assets. The western seaboard here offers some of the best scenery and outdoor recreation opportunities in Europe and its inshore waters are generally clean and naturally productive. These are resources which generate a range of employment and they still have signiﬁ cant development potential. They are resources which also come under pressure from different quarters so they need to be looked after carefully. Regulation of activities on land and sea emanates from different legislation. However, there is increasing recognition that in the coastal zone effective management of these assets needs to be better integrated and more locally-based. The uses of the coast and inshore waters are, after all, often closely interlinked. Also, where there is a relatively high degree of local dependence on marine resources, the best stewards for inshore waters may well be the local coastal communities themselves. Coastal communities cannot deliver on their own. They need support and guidance from the local authority and from the relevant government departments and agencies which can bring speciﬁ c resources and expertise to bear. There also needs to be good co-ordination between these different bodies to make the most of their resources and to build synergy. This more integrated, collaborative approach has been the essential aim of the Atlantic Coast (Wester Ross) Project and it is what makes this plan different from previous ones produced in Highland.
