  • 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.

  • The Scottish Highlanders and the Land Laws: John Stuart Blackie
    The Scottish Highlanders and the Land Laws: An Historico-Economical Enquiry by John Stuart Blackie, F.R.S.E. Emeritus Professor of Greek in the University of Edinburgh London: Chapman and Hall Limited 1885 CHAPTER I. The Scottish Highlanders. “The Highlands of Scotland,” said that grand specimen of the Celto-Scandinavian race, the late Dr. Norman Macleod, “ like many greater things in the world, may be said to be well known, and yet unknown.”1 The Highlands indeed is a peculiar country, and the Highlanders, like the ancient Jews, a peculiar people; and like the Jews also in certain quarters a despised people, though we owe our religion to the Hebrews, and not the least part of our national glory arid European prestige to the Celts of the Scottish Highlands. This ignorance and misprision arose from several causes; primarily, and at first principally, from the remoteness of the situation in days when distances were not counted by steam, and when the country, now perhaps the most accessible of any mountainous district in Europe, was, like most parts of modern Greece, traversed only by rough pony-paths over the protruding bare bones of the mountain. In Dr. Johnson’s day, to have penetrated the Argyllshire Highlands as far west as the sacred settlement of St. Columba was accounted a notable adventure scarcely less worthy of record than the perilous passage of our great Scottish traveller Bruce from the Red Sea through the great Nubian Desert to the Nile; and the account of his visit to those unknown regions remains to this day a monument of his sturdy Saxon energy, likely to be read with increasing interest by a great army of summer perambulators long after his famous dictionary shall have been forgotten, or relegated as a curiosity to the back shelves of a philological library.

The Power of the Church. IN almost every age there has been a diversity of opinion as to the power of the Church of Christ on earth. This diversity of opinion is brought very prominently to our notice in the history of the Church in our own land since the time of the Reformation. Romanists claim that the Church is above the III State and that the Pope has the right to depose Kings and remove governments, in virtue of his claim to be the head of the Church. Erastians maintain that the Church is the creature of the State, and that the power of discipline and government in the Church i is committed to the office-bearens of the Church by the civil magistrate.

    The Story of Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve For further information on Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve please contact: Reserve manager Scottish Natural Heritage The Links Golspie Business Park Golspie Sutherland KW10 6UB Tel: 01738 771100 Email: [email protected] The Story of Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve Foreword Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve (NNR) lies on the east coast of Scotland, 3km south of Golspie and 8km north of Dornoch. Loch Fleet is an impressive tidal basin connected to the sea by a narrow channel through which the sea races on a rising tide and the River Fleet flows out on a falling tide. When the tide is in the basin is flooded with salt water. When the tide is out it leaves an extensive area of sandbanks and mudflats cut by flowing channels of freshwater. As the tide ebbs and flows it carries rich materials into the loch creating an important feeding area for waders and wildfowl. Along with other nearby coastal sites Loch Fleet supports internationally important numbers of these birds in the autumn and winter months. In the summer many birds breed around the loch including terns and osprey. The sandbanks within the basin are favoured as a haul out site for common seals. The north side of the loch is home to two pine woodlands known as Balblair and Ferry Woods. Although areas of the woodland are planted it is established on the site of an ancient pine forest and there are granny pines scattered through the woods. The rich understory in Balblair woods supports many rare plants specialist of the Caledonian pine forest.
