  • Painting Time: the Highland Journals of John Francis Campbell of Islay
    SCOTTISH ARCHIVES 2013 Volume 19 © The Scottish Records Association Painting Time: The Highland Journals of John Francis Campbell of Islay Anne MacLeod This article examines sketches and drawings of the Highlands by John Francis Campbell of Islay (1821–85), who is now largely remembered for his contribution to folklore studies in the north-west of Scotland. An industrious polymath, with interests in archaeology, ethnology and geological science, Campbell was also widely travelled. His travels in Scotland and throughout the world were recorded in a series of journals, meticulously assembled over several decades. Crammed with cuttings, sketches, watercolours and photographs, the visual element within these volumes deserves to be more widely known. Campbell’s drawing skills were frequently deployed as an aide-memoire or functional tool, designed to document his scientific observations. At the same time, we can find within the journals many pioneering and visually appealing depictions of upland and moorland scenery. A tension between documenting and illuminating the hidden beauty of the world lay at the heart of Victorian aesthetics, something the work of this gentleman amateur illustrates to the full. Illustrated travel diaries are one of the hidden treasures of family archives and manuscript collections. They come in many shapes and forms: legible and illegible, threadbare and richly bound, often illustrated with cribbed engravings, hasty sketches or careful watercolours. Some mirror their published cousins in style and layout, and were perhaps intended for the print market; others remain no more than private or family mementoes. This paper will examine the manuscript journals of one Victorian scholar, John Francis Campbell of Islay (1821–85).

  • Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol
    Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol. 22 : Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies 1 Vol. 22: Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh (East Sutherland & Caithness) Author: Kurt C. Duwe 2nd Edition January, 2012 Executive Summary This publication is part of a series dealing with local communities which were predominantly Gaelic- speaking at the end of the 19 th century. Based mainly (but not exclusively) on local population census information the reports strive to examine the state of the language through the ages from 1881 until to- day. The most relevant information is gathered comprehensively for the smallest geographical unit pos- sible and provided area by area – a very useful reference for people with interest in their own communi- ty. Furthermore the impact of recent developments in education (namely teaching in Gaelic medium and Gaelic as a second language) is analysed for primary school catchments. Gaelic once was the dominant means of conversation in East Sutherland and the western districts of Caithness. Since the end of the 19 th century the language was on a relentless decline caused both by offi- cial ignorance and the low self-confidence of its speakers. A century later Gaelic is only spoken by a very tiny minority of inhabitants, most of them born well before the Second World War. Signs for the future still look not promising. Gaelic is still being sidelined officially in the whole area. Local council- lors even object to bilingual road-signs. Educational provision is either derisory or non-existent. Only constant parental pressure has achieved the introduction of Gaelic medium provision in Thurso and Bonar Bridge.

  • 6335 Rhins of Galloway Lighthouse Booklet 200X110
    Lighthouse Guide Discover the aids to navigation on the Rhins of Galloway Coast Path Since people first ventured out on perilous journeys across the sea many attempts have been made to build landmarks warning sailors of dangers or guiding them to safety. This guide will help you discover lighthouses, foghorns and beacons along the Rhins of Galloway Coast Path as well as reveal some of the ships that have been wrecked on the rugged shore. This Lighthouse Guide has been produced as part of the Rhins of Galloway Coast Path project managed by Dumfries and Galloway Council. Portpatrick Cover: Corsewall Lighthouse How to use this guide The 3 operational Lighthouses on the Rhins are important features on the coastal landscape, managed by the Northern Lighthouse Board to perform a vital role in keeping mariners safe in all weathers. Discover a variety of navigational aids many of which are designated as listed buildings. Get up close with lighthouse tours and an exhibition at the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse or admire at a distance decommissioned lighthouses and redundant beacons. The map at the back of the guide shows you the location of these visually striking reminders of how dangerous the rocky coast of the Rhins can be to mariners. Killantringan Lighthouse Mull of Galloway Lighthouse Designed by Robert Stevenson and first lit in 1830, the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse is perched on Scotland’s most southerly point. It was automated in 1987 and the former Lightkeepers’ accommodation are now managed as self-catering holiday 1 cottages. Structure: White tower 26m high Position:54°38.1’N 4°51.4’W Character:Flashing white once every 20 seconds Nominal range:22 miles Lighthouse Tours, Exhibition & Foghorn The Mull of Galloway Lighthouse is open to visitors during the summer with the exhibition open every day and tours available at weekends and daily in July and August.

  • Mapping Farmland Wader Distributions and Population Change to Identify Wader Priority Areas for Conservation and Management Action
    Mapping farmland wader distributions and population change to identify wader priority areas for conservation and management action Scott Newey1*, Debbie Fielding1, and Mark Wilson2 1. The James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen, AB15 8QH 2. The British Trust for Ornithology Scotland, Stirling, FK9 4NF * [email protected] Introduction Many birds have declined across Scotland and the UK as a whole (Balmer et al. 2013, Eaton et al. 2015, Foster et al. 2013, Harris et al. 2017). These include five species of farmland wader; oystercatcher, lapwing, curlew, redshank and snipe. All of these have all been listed as either red or amber species on the UK list of birds of conservation concern (Harris et al. 2017, Eaton et al. 2015). Between 1995 and 2016 both lapwing and curlew declined by more than 40% in the UK (Harris et al. 2017). The UK harbours an estimated 19-27% of the curlew’s global breeding population, and the curlew is arguably the most pressing bird conservation challenge in the UK (Brown et al. 2015). However, the causes of wader declines likely include habitat loss, alteration and homogenisation (associated strongly with agricultural intensification), and predation by generalist predators (Brown et al. 2015, van der Wal & Palmer 2008, Ainsworth et al. 2016). There has been a concerted effort to reverse wader declines through habitat management, wader sensitive farming practices and predator control, all of which are likely to benefit waders at the local scale. However, the extent and severity of wader population declines means that large scale, landscape level, collaborative actions are needed if these trends are to be halted or reversed across much of these species’ current (and former) ranges.

One of the most important themes identified by Citizens Advice Bureaux (CAB) and our clients was the difficulty people had accessing essential services, such as healthcare and work opportunities, using the bus network. To look more closely at what was happening with public transport across Scotland we carried out regional research lead by 16 of our local CAB members. We present this report as a collaborative research project covering the experience of 113 local communities in Scotland which identifies some of the key concerns regarding bus provision in Scotland today. This research gathered information on over 1,200 journeys from 133 home locations to key essential services, focussing on travel times, distances and cost to the following locations: workplace, supermarket, GP surgery, hospital, jobcentre, college, bank branch and post office.
