  • Sir Clements R. Markham 1830-1916
    Sir Clements R. Markham 1830-1916 ‘BLUE PLAQUES’ adorn the houses of south polar explorers James Clark Ross, Robert Falcon Scott, Edward Adrian Wilson, Sir Ernest H. Shackleton, and, at one time, Captain Laurence Oates (his house was demolished and the plaque stored away). If Sir Clements Markham had not lived, it’s not unreasonable to think that of these only the one for Ross would exist today. Markham was the Britain’s great champion of polar exploration, particularly Antarctic exploration. Markham presided over the Sixth International Geographical Congress in 1895, meeting in London, and inserted the declaration that “the exploration of the Antarctic Regions is the greatest piece of geographical exploration still to be undertaken.” The world took notice and eyes were soon directed South. Markham’s great achievement was the National Antarctic Expedition (Discovery 1901-04) for which he chose Robert Falcon Scott as leader. He would have passed on both Wilson and Shackleton, too. When Scott contemplated heading South again, it was Markham who lent his expertise at planning, fundraising and ‘gentle arm-twisting.’ Without him, the British Antarctic Expedition (Terra Nova 1910-13) might not have been. As a young man Markham was in the Royal Navy on the Pacific station and went to the Arctic on Austin’s Franklin Search expedition of 1850-51. He served for many years in the India Office. In 1860 he was charged with collecting cinchona trees and seeds in the Andes for planting in India thus assuring a dependable supply of quinine. He accompanied Napier on the Abyssinian campaign and was present at the capture of Magdala.

Signature: Date: Copyright © 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This thesis deals with the nature and historical development of tourism and leisure activities that have been conducted within the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions from 1895 to present. First, it traces the brief history of human involvement with the Antarctic continent, which culminated in a surge of ostensibly scientific exploration with jingoistic overtones which has become widely known as the ‘Heroic Age’ of Antarctic exploration. These explorers’ adventures, taken up by the popular press and promoted by jingoistic governments, popularised a particular conception of the continent to the point where people imagined going to see it for themselves, vicariously reliving their heroes’ adventures in the form of tourism. The rise of formal governance on the Antarctic is then traced and used to explain how this provided for regular tourist activities to commence since the mid-1960s.

  • ( 290 ) Edward Adrian Wilson, Ba, Mbcantab
    ( 290 ) EDWARD ADRIAN WILSON, B.A., M.B.CANTAB. SURGEON, NATURALIST, EXPLOBEB. AN APPRECIATION BY WILLIAM S. BBTTCE, H,.B., F.K.S.E. fPLATE 8.] I FIRST met Dr. Edward A. Wilson on board the " Dis­ covery " on his return from the Antarctic Regions in 1904, and the second time at the International Ornith­ ological Congress in London in 1905, when he and I were both communicating ornithological results respectively of the " Discovery " and of the " Scotia." Since that time I was in close touch with him, and on several occa­ sions he visited the " Scotia " collections in the Scottish Oceanographieal Laboratory and in the Royal Scottish Museum. Although our meetings were not very numerous, yet as fellow workers in the Polar Regions we were drawn together more closely perhaps than many others who had known each other longer and seen each other more frequently. We could both appreciate better than anybody else what it means to be cut off from civilization for long periods, to be huddled together in close quarters in a ship, or in a house ashore for months—even years— or in a tent, without seeing anything of the outside world, and we had both learned to give and take in a way that would astonish many at home. We could thus appre­ ciate difficulties that the other had in attaining scientific results which he had secured, knowing full well that if certain results were not attained that it was due to some insuperable difficulty which no layman could fully understand. It was this tie of Polar brotherhood that drew Wilson and myself together.

    CLIMBS IN GLEN CLOVA AND GLEN DOLL. BY HOWARD G. DRUMMOND. To discover a district teeming with virgin climbs within a short distance of one's native city is a blessing undreamt of by the mountaineer of to-day, when almost every rock face of comparatively easy access has been at least tested by his brethren of the mountain and the crag. Many on high level tramps from Braemar to Clova must have gazed on the frowning precipices of Craig Bennet and Craig Maud, many must have peered from the shores of Loch Brandy across the sunlit valley into the dark recesses of the Winter Corrie of Driesh, hut none seem to have craved the stern joy of an assault on their steep ramparts. Pos- sibly they lacked time, or had read Mr. Duncan's article •on the Clova Hills (C.C.J, vol. Ill, page 1) and concluded that the climbs afforded by these faces were either mere scrambles or impossible. On New Year's day, 1910, two strangers to the Glen, J. A. Parker and myself (H. Alexander, Jun., the origi- nator of the idea unfortunately having been recalled to Aberdeen) were able to record a climb on the east face of Craig Rennet, and on 2nd January, with J. Bruce Miller, an ascent of the west face of Winter Corrie, Driesh. These expeditions have been recorded by Parker in an article in the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal, (vol. xi., page 29). I will therefore, for the benefit of those to whom that paper is not available, give a short acount of Thethese climbsCairngorm, partially extracted with his kin dClub permission from that article, and confine myself more particularly to our adventures of 3rd January, 1911, when we barley escaped defeat in an attack on the north-eastern face of Craig Maud.

  • Autumn Newsletter 2014
    Aberdeen Hillwalking Club Autumn Newsletter 2014 Chairman’s Chat From the issue of this newsletter, we will be almost at the end of another club walking season. We have been fortunate with the weather this year, having experienced an excellent summer and hopefully the “batteries” are recharged before the onset of winter. Now is the time to start planning for next year’s walks and we welcome any suggestions to include in our future programme. Please send your suggestions to our secretary or pass them on to any committee member for consideration. I started thinking about this article while on a short break at our “bolt hole” at Boat of Garten where we enjoyed a quiet and restful few days (and also grandchildren free!) Speyside is an area we are familiar with and particularly enjoy and of course is an area we frequent for club outings. This year alone, we have had day outings through the Lairig Ghru, Glen Feshie, Nethybridge to Glenmore, and more recently walked part of the Dava Way from Dunphail to Grantown on Spey. Speyside appears to have its own microclimate, coupled with majestic scenery, wonderful forests, high hills and that magic effect of light and colour which in my view appears to be more intense as compared with that on Deeside or Donside. Having just finished reading Nan Shepherd’s iconic book “the Living Mountain”, an anthology of the Cairngorms, her writing echoes many of my thoughts about the pleasures of hillwalking and the sense of wellbeing achieved through this pastime. This book was written in the 1930’s, though not published until 1977, but her writings are as relevant today as they were those many years ago and follows a similar style and passion as that of John Muir, famed as the father of American conservation and founder of the American National Parks.

  • The South Esk Catchment Management Plan
    The South Esk Catchment Management Plan Foreword The River South Esk catchment covers a large area of Angus and is drained by the River South Esk and its tributaries. The catchment supports a wide range of economic activity in industries such as farming, forestry, fisheries, tourism and recreation and is a source of private drinking water. The river and the area support a rich variety of wildlife. The river itself has been designated a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under the European Habitat’s Directive as it is home to internationally important populations of Atlantic salmon and freshwater pearl mussel. At first glance this attractive area would appear to be in perfect condition due to the wide range of wildlife it supports. However, monitoring and consultation suggest otherwise. l The ecological status of some tributaries is poor or moderate. l Fish stocks and freshwater pearl mussels, at certain life stages, are reducing in numbers. l Non-native invasive weeds are spreading in the middle and lower areas of the catchment. l Flooding is a serious concern in some areas. l Long-term economic development of the area is in its very early stages. Ongoing pressures placed on the area and continual changes in the law which affect activities carried out in the area have reinforced the need to develop a more joined-up approach to the way this water resource is managed. We need to develop ways of protecting and improving the quality of the water, the wildlife of the area and the social and economic well-being of communities along the river and its tributaries.
