Cruising the ISLANDS of ORKNEY
Cruising THE ISLANDS OF ORKNEY his brief guide has been produced to help the cruising visitor create an enjoyable visit to TTour islands, it is by no means exhaustive and only mentions the main and generally obvious anchorages that can be found on charts. Some of the welcoming pubs, hotels and other attractions close to the harbour or mooring are suggested for your entertainment, however much more awaits to be explored afloat and many other delights can be discovered ashore. Each individual island that makes up the archipelago offers a different experience ashore and you should consult “Visit Orkney” and other local guides for information. Orkney waters, if treated with respect, should offer no worries for the experienced sailor and will present no greater problem than cruising elsewhere in the UK. Tides, although strong in some parts, are predictable and can be used to great advantage; passage making is a delight with the current in your favour but can present a challenge when against. The old cruising guides for Orkney waters preached doom for the seafarer who entered where “Dragons and Sea Serpents lie”. This hails from the days of little or no engine power aboard the average sailing vessel and the frequent lack of wind amongst tidal islands; admittedly a worrying combination when you’ve nothing but a scrap of canvas for power and a small anchor for brakes! Consult the charts, tidal guides and sailing directions and don’t be afraid to ask! You will find red “Visitor Mooring” buoys in various locations, these are removed annually over the winter and are well maintained and can cope with boats up to 20 tons (or more in settled weather).

Distinctive Semantic Fields in the Orkney and Shetland Dialects, and Their Use in the Local Literature‘
Distinctive semantic fields in the Orkney and Shet- land dialects, and their use in the local literature J. Derrick McClure The various dialects of Orkney differ from each other; so too, perhaps to an even greater extent, do those of Shetland; and the sets of dialects found in the two island groups show common features which mark them off from each other; yet despite this internal diversity it can be stated as a fact that Insular Scots, as the two sets are styled collectively in the introduction to the Scottish National Dictionary, is the most distinctive of all forms of Scots: in phonology, grammar and above all vocabulary (for discussion see Millar 2007, especially Chapter 4). Some evidence of the extraordinary size of the Orkney-Shetland word list is provided by the well-known fact that when the Concise Scots Dictionary was being prepared, the biggest single section of the material from the Scottish National Dictionary omitted from the smaller work was a huge part of the Orkney-Shetland vocabulary. According to the Introduction of the CSD, ‗material from these areas [Shetland, Orkney and Caithness] which belongs not to Scots but to Norn‘ has been omitted. This is unmistakeable question-begging, for notwithstanding their Norn derivation the words thus defined must have been sufficiently naturalised into the Scots dialects of the islands to appear in Scots texts – otherwise they would not have been included in the SND. In this essay I will not examine, except incidentally, the derivation of the distinctive words in the Insular Scots vocabulary

The North Orkney Population History Project
Historical Demography, Oral History, Settlement Archaeology, and Landscape Ecology: The North Orkney Population History Project Please Do Not Cite or Reference – Email [email protected] for a final version of the paper to be presented on July 10, 2008 Tim Murtha, Pat Johnson, Jim Wood, Stephen Matthews, and Julia Jennings Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802 Corey Sparks University of Texas, San Antonio European Population Conference Barcelona, Spain July 9‐12, 2008 Presentation Date: July 10, 2008 (4:30‐6:00pm) Draft Date: June 23, 2008 (tm) July 1, 2008 Abstract: Between 1750 and 2000, the northern islands of Orkney (Scotland) underwent a major cycle of population growth and decline. The modern demographic transition, which contributed significantly to population decline over the past century, was atypical in several respects: it was late, the decline in fertility preceded that in mortality, and the transition involved massive net out‐migration, resulting in progressive depopulation. The North Orkney Population History Project is investigating these demographic changes within the context of the transition from near‐subsistence farming to modern, commercialized livestock rearing. Unusual for historical demography, we are linking parish records, census data, and vital registers to historical archaeological information on houses, farmsteads, and the past environment, and ethnographic/oral history material on local people’s perceptions of change over the past 80 years. Using data from the islands of Westray and Sanday, we compare the spatial distribution of households using multi‐scale point pattern analysis to ascertain the extent to which surviving archaeological remains can capture the historically documented settlement pattern of the pre‐modern demographic regime.
