MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES OF THE 24th September 2019 3.1 Having discussed the potential problems with having the electric hook-up at the Village Hall, Sandra was happy for it to be located by the public toilets at the Harbour. 3.2 The Pavements, overgrown with Gorse and Brambles need to be cut back. Graham will speak to Hugh to see when this might be done. 3.3 Graham will contact Hugh to find out who the new Area Manager at Highland Council is to replace Joanne Sutherland. Murdo will then re-send a letter to them, asking for a barrier to be placed along the edge of Big Brae to prevent further accidents. 1 3.4 Graham and Murdo will bolt the picnic benches at Loch Clash to the concrete slab. This will hopefully prevent campervans from monopolising the picnic area, preventing others from using it for what it was intended; having a picnic.

    Ainmean-Àite na Cuinneige |The Place-names of Quinag Quinag from the Ardroe path (photo by Gemma Smith, August 2020) Gemma Smith Roinn na Ceiltis is na Gàidhlig | Celtic and Gaelic Oilthigh Ghlaschu | University of Glasgow An Giblean 2021 | April 2021 Contents Introduction 2 Key to entries 4 Gazetteer 5 Bibliography 35 1 Introduction Area This toponymic survey covers the area currently designated as the Quinag Estate, Assynt, as delineated in the John Muir Trust’s map below. Names from the immediate environs of the survey area have been included where relevant or interesting. Map © John Muir Trust 2012 Land Use In order to understand historic land use in this area it is necessary to look past any idea of ‘the estate’, as Quinag was in the past a shared resource, with each farm that backed onto the hill having grazing rights to their own particular portion. Therefore any shielings, etc. must be understood in relation to the farm of which they were an integral part. The hinterland of each home baile also included peat bogs, woodlands, burns and lochs which would have supplied a variety of valuable resources year-round – see pg. 184 of the Old Statistical Account for ‘The ancient Divisions of the Land of the whole Parish’. As the saying goes regarding the rights of the Gàideil, breac à linne, slat à coille ‘s fiadh à fìreach – ‘a fish 2 from the burn, a staff from the wood and a deer from the moor’ – wild resources were just as important as farmed. John Home’s 1774 maps of the individual farms are readily available on the National Library of Scotland website, and should be consulted wherever necessary, as they are an unparalleled and invaluable resource in the context of the wider north-west area, and provide a uniquely detailed snapshot of pre-‘Improvement’ land use.

  • Little Assynt Lochs Project
    Little Assynt Lochs Project Invertebrate Communities of a Gneiss Catchment Little Assynt Lochs Project 2010 Little Assynt Lochs Project Report for Culag Community Woodlands Trust By Caroline Bowes May 2011 Funded by the Sutherland Partnership Environmental Fund, which was supported by Leader and Scottish Natural Heritrage 2 Caroline Bowes: email - [email protected] Abstract The Little Assynt Lochs Project is a study of the aquatic ecosystem on the Little Assynt Estate. Existing ecological records relating to the estate have been sought out. These have been collected in a single spread sheet. A survey of several small lochs in one catchment on the estate has shown that the invertebrate assemblage of the aquatic ecosystem is not abundant, but is reasonably diverse. The members of invertebrate communities identified are mainly acid-tolerant, pollution-sensitive taxa, and as such are consistent with the flora, geology and land-use of the area.

  • Geological Notes and Location Descriptions for Field Excursions
    Inverness: 30 April - 7 May Inverness: 30 Geological notes and location descriptions for field excursions Deformation mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics 2017 Deformation mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics 1 Geological notes* The crustal evolution and geology of NW Scotland can be considered with reference to the Palaeozoic Caledonian orogeny. This major episode of crustal reworking was associated with the formation of a North Atlantic Craton – suturing the Proterozoic and older crustal blocks of Laurentian and Baltica (together with Avalonia, further south). NW Scotland contains part of the western margin of this orogen (or at least its more intense parts), a tectonic feature termed the Moine Thrust Belt. The foreland to the thrust belt preserves much older geology, exhumed from up to 35-40km depth, that give insight to processes that form, rework and reassemble the continental crust. The Caledonian rocks allow us to follow a transect from exhumed middle crustal sections within the orogen out into the foreland. Collectively these outcrops provide arrays of analogues for crustal geology and deformation structures, and we can use these to promote discussion of their geophysical characteristics when targeted in situ. However, the Caledonian crust, together with its foreland, has seen later deformation associated with the formation of sedimentary basins, chiefly in the immediate offshore. We can also access basin faults and examine not only their individual characteristics but also debate how they may have been influenced by pre-existing structures. Pre-Caledonian geology The Lewisian. The Lewisian forms the oldest basement to the British Isles and has classic Laurentian geology. The key geological markers in the field used to build up a sequence of geological events are a suite of NW-SE-trending metabasic sheets – the Scourie dykes.
