  • 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.

ROB DONN MACKAY: FINDING THE MUSIC IN THE SONGS Ellen L. Beard Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 2015 ABSTRACT AND LAY SUMMARY This thesis explores the musical world and the song compositions of eighteenth-century Sutherland Gaelic bard Rob Donn MacKay (1714-1778). The principal focus is musical rather than literary, aimed at developing an analytical model to reconstruct how a non-literate Gaelic song-maker chose and composed the music for his songs. In that regard, the thesis breaks new ground in at least two ways: as the first full-length study of the musical work of Rob Donn, and as the first full-length musical study of any eighteenth-century Scottish Gaelic poet. Among other things, it demonstrates that a critical assessment of Rob Donn merely as a “poet” seriously underestimates his achievement in combining words and music to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

For more information go to www.snh.gov.uk/beavers-in-scotland or contact [email protected] Beavers in Scotland A Report to the Scottish Government Foreword Beavers in Scotland I am delighted to present this report to Scottish Ministers. It is the culmination of many years of dedicated research, investigation and discussion. The report draws on 20 years of work on beavers in Scotland, as well as experience from elsewhere in Europe and North America. It provides a comprehensive summary of existing knowledge and offers four future scenarios for beavers in Scotland for Ministers to consider. It covers a wide range of topics from beaver ecology and genetics, to beaver interactions with farming, forestry, and fisheries. The reintroduction of a species, absent for many centuries, is a very significant decision for any Government to take. To support the decision- making process we have produced this comprehensive report providing one of the most thorough assessments ever done for a species reintroduction proposal. Ian Ross Chair Scottish Natural Heritage June 2015 Commission from Scottish Ministers to SNH, January 2014 Advice on the future of beavers in Scotland SNH should deliver a report to Scottish Ministers by the end of May 2015 summarising our current knowledge about beavers and setting out a series of scenarios for the future of beavers in Scotland.

  • THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Sutherland County
    Agenda Item 4. Report SCC/12/21 No THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Sutherland County Committee Date: 16 August 2021 Report Title: North West 2045 Our Future Our Choice Report By: ECO Communities and Place 1. Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report provides background to the North West 2045 project and the development of a long-term vision for north west Highland – “North West 2045 Our Future Our Choice”. The report proposes that the Vision is adopted by Sutherland County Committee and outlines how Highland Council, its partners and communities can contribute to and work towards achieving the Vision. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to: i. Adopt the NW2045 Vision “North West 2045 Our Future Our Choice” ii. Note the development of a Regional Land Use Partnership pilot in NW Sutherland 3. Implications 3.1 Resource implications There are no direct resource implications of the Sutherland County Committee adopting the NW2045 Vision. Although Highland Council support for initiatives outlined in the vision may have resource implications in the future, these would be subject to appropriate Committee or service decision making. 3.2 Legal implications There are no legal implications rising from the adoption of the NW2045 Vision, which is a commitment to support the vision. It is not a legally binding contract. 3.3 Community (Equality, Poverty, Rural and Island) impacts The NW2045 Vision outlines key challenges faced by remote rural communities including rural poverty and inequalities in those communities and priorities outlined in the vision to address these challenges. 3.4 Climate Change / Carbon Clever implications The NW2045 Vision aligns with the Council’s Highland Adapts initiative which will bring organisations from across Highland together to develop a shared adaptation strategy and action plan which will embed action to adapt across organisational, community and sector plans, strategies and investments.
