  • Cetaceans of East Scotland
    CETACEANS OF EAST SCOTLAND This region includes nearshore (within 60 km of the coast) and offshore waters from Eyemouth on the Scottish Borders to Cape Wrath in Highland Region. The cetacean fauna (whale, dolphins and porpoises) of this region is moderately rich. From East Lothian to Angus, six species (a little over 21% of the 28 total UK species) are recorded regularly. Further north, in waters off the Grampian coast and Highland coasts, eight cetacean species (just under 29% of the 28 UK species) have been recorded regularly since 1980. Much of the northernmost North Sea reaches depths of 100-200 m, becoming shallower (generally 20-100 m) around the Northern Isles (Orkney & Shetland), the Moray Firth, and Grampian coast. Currents passing through the sounds and around headlands tend to bring in prey for marine mammals and birds, providing suitable conditions for feeding. Several of those areas are favoured by cetaceans such as harbour porpoise, bottlenose and white-beaked dolphin, and minke whale, and by seabirds such as razorbill, guillemot and puffin. The Morey Firth is of national importance for its bottlenose dolphin population of between 1-200 individuals. The only other resident coastal population of this species known for Britain occurs in Cardigan Bay, West Wales, although there are sizeable populations around Ireland and small numbers off South-west England. The harbour porpoise and bottlenose dolphin are listed in Annex II of Council Directive 92/43 EEC of 21st May 1992 on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora, as species whose conservation requires the designation of Special Areas of Conservation.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal
    THE BLUE HILL. BY ALEXANDER CRUICKSHANK, LL.D., Vice-President, AND ALEXANDER COPLAND, Ex-Chairman. WE do not propose in this paper to write of the lofty Cairn- gorm which dominates Glen More, but to direct attention to the eminence nearer home which has somehow got almost its Saxon titular equivalent. This explanation at once dis- poses of any false expectations—or, at all events, should do so. How, when, and why this part of the Grampian ridge, which passes through the parish of Banchory-Devenick about four and a half miles S.S.W. of Aberdeen—and there shuts out from view the interesting and ancient inheritance of Dugald Dalgetty, namely, Drumthwhacket—obtained its cerulean distinctive title—the Blue Hill—we have been at pains to endeavour to trace, but our success, truth to say, has not been commensurate with the labour and travail we have devoted to the quest. The reason appears to be that those whose business it was to record, for the benefit of future generations, this vital and important explanation have culpably neglected to do so. Our earliest topographical writer, James Gordon, Parson of Rothiemay—whose name we mention with unfeigned respect, generated of admiration for his rare talents and useful geographical works—did not foresee our difficulty, or we feel sure he would have obviated it. He described the " feilds nixt to the gaits of the citie ", [Aberdeen] as being " fruitfull of corns, such as oats, beir, quheat", &c., but, remember, that was within a zone or belt of a mile round the town.
