GLASG 1)W. l!T PREFATORY NOTE AFTER the publication of the Records of the Clan ancl Narne of Fergiisson, Ferguson, and Fergus in 1895, the Editors received a number of communications from persons of the name resident in Canada, the United States, and elsewhere. There also reached them a considerable amount of additional information, illustrating the earlier history of the Clan, and indicating the common origin of various families. The discovery of papers at Pitfour a year after the book came out was followed by the appearance of His Grace the Duke of Atholl's Chronicles of the Fa1nilies of .Atholl and Tulliebardine, which gives many interesting particulars about the Olan in Athole, while the Editors have been placed in communication with the representa­ tives of other families, who had been unaware of, or omitted to contribute to the original volume. Ultimately in the spring of 1898 the Clan Fergusson Society authorised the preparation and publication of the present supplemen­ tary volume. The Editors have, as on the previous occasion, en­ deavoured to supply notices of the families dealt with from the pen of a member of the particular family.

  • Dipterists Digest
    Dipterists Digest Scottish Islands Series Edited by Derek Whiteley Contributions by E.G. Hancock, A.R. Plant, K.P. Bland, 0. Whiteley, D. Horsfield Introduction E.G. Hancock Between 25-29 June 1990, ttie 10th Annual Scottish Entomologists' Field Meeting was located on Rum, previously spelt Rhum, apparently Incorrectly (Campbell, 1991). To mark a decade of these field meetings it was appropriate to be invited by the Nature Conservancy Council to spend a week recording insects there. Twenty two entomologists travelled to the west of Scotland of whom fourteen contributed records of Diptera. In the past, and since then, the support of the NCC and its successor bodies has been of great benefit to these annual field meetings which has been reciprocated by the provision of records on the sites visited. In 1990 we were specifically invited to Rum for several reasons. This island is one of the Inner Hebrides and has been managed as a National Nature Reserve since 1957. It has been over twenty years since extensive systematic recording viras last undertaken and subsequently published as an impressive listing (Wormell, 1982). Also the effect of new management practices were beginning to have an effect on the landscape which might be reflected in a change in the insect fauna. The most visible of these was a programme of tree planting, sometimes within fenced areas to protect the plants from grazing damage by red deer, it has been shown in some of the results already published (Hancock, 1992) that there are some detectable additions to the fauna attributable to the greater abundance and variety of trees.

  • A Landscape Fashioned by Geology
    Rum and the Small Isles : A landscape fashioned by geology The rugged, wild, mountainous landscape of Rum owes its creation to a geological history that stretches back nearly 3000 million years. For such a small island the range of scenery is remarkable - from the jagged peaks of Askival and Hallival in the east, to the rounded hills of Orval and Ard Nev in the west and the flatlands of Kinloch Glen. The spectacular panorama from Rum encompasses the sloping RUM AND THE backbone of Eigg, the rich green pasture of diminutive Muck and the carved basalt coastline embracing Canna and the low-lying Sanday. Held together by the sea, these islands combine a richness of landform, colour and texture with ever-changing light and dramatic weather. Find out how this mecca for geologists was formed over millions of years in this riveting tale of deserts and oceans, volcanoes and glaciers.

  • Local Government and Communities Committee
    Local Government and Communities Committee The Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (Licensing of Short-term Lets) Order 2021 The Town and Country Planning (Short-term Let Control Areas) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 Submission by Paul Banks I wish to object to the fact that B&B’s are now being included in this draft. Traditional bed and breakfast businesses are under threat and as a trade could disappear completely because of this legislation. It’s beyond belief that the Scottish government would not include these business in an exclusion. Submission by Nanette Cowieson I write to you with my concerns regarding the Short Term Lets Legislation and the impact on B&Bs and Self-Catering. We are in the business of providing high quality hosting to visitors from the UK and globally. We oppose the proposed scheme to license Short-term lets as it will have a huge negative impact on a struggling tourist industry trying to recover from the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic. We are a small micro-business, and the introduction of an onerous licensing system would add additional legislative and administrative burdens. Scotland is a world renown tourist destination, and the Scottish Government national tourism strategy says that ‘it aims to make Scotland a first-choice destination for a high quality, value for money and memorable customer experience delivered by skilled and passionate people’. This proposal does not promote tourism or protect the long-term sustainability of local communities, both those directly involved in visitor accommodation and those satellite businesses that provide services to tourists. This could lead to a number of businesses leaving the hospitality sector for good thereby reducing the availability of options to tourists and diminishing the overall Scottish offering.
