I am also grateful to the British Council for granting me a scholarship which enabled me to study at the Institute of History, University of Oslo and to the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for financing an additional 3 months fieldwork in the Sunnmore Islands. My sincere thanks also go to Prof Ragni Piene who employed me on a part time basis thereby allowing me to spend an additional year in Oslo when I was without funding. In Norway I would like to thank Dr P S Anderson who acted as my supervisor. Thanks are likewise due to Dr H Kongsrud of the Norwegian State Archives and to Dr T Scmidt of the Place Name Institute, both of whom were generous with their time.

  • Review of Piers, Harbours and Ferries
    Review of Piers, Harbours and Ferries Executive Summary The Review of Piers, Harbours and Ferries has been carried out to ensure that there will be improvements for the benefit of the service and that of its customers. It is hoped that once the improvement actions and additional consultation has been undertaken that it will establish a piers, harbours and ferry service that provides best value to both the customer and client. Furthermore, the income streams to the Council will be both increased and channelled into the maintenance of our facilities. The review was undertaken by applying the four key principles of Best Value – Consult, Compare, Challenge and Compete. Consultation has already been carried out with neighbouring authorities and other relevant bodies to establish their custom and practice in marine issues particularly with regard to the collection of berthing dues and fish landing income. Additional consultation still needs to be undertaken especially with Caledonian MacBrayne, the Clyde Fishermen’s Association, the Waverley and the Ministry of Defence. Comparisons in the collection of berthing dues and fish landing dues have been made with neighbouring authorities and although different strategies were employed they were not significantly more efficient. The mechanism of composite rates is used in the Highland Council and in the Western Isles and whilst the administration charges are substantially reduced they still under recover. Competition has been considered and this element may be appropriate particularly when applied to the provision of the ferry service. The principle of challenging our approach has resulted in the consideration being given to the apportionment of costs within the piers and harbours budget and establishing a way forward for the ferry services.
