    EDINBANE COMMUNITY LINKS & RECREATIONAL ROUTES OPTIONS APPRAISAL 2019 for: Edinbane Community Company by Mike Hyatt Landscape Architects TEAM Mike Hyatt Landscaape Architects, Led by Mike Hyatt have carried out the survey work and liaised with the client group. He has also led on developing the proposals that are set out in this document. Arvika Consult, consultant engineers led by Frank McCulloch have assisted with survey work and with engineering solutions and costing Work has been carried out February to May 2019 INTRODUCTION This report was commissioned by Edinbane Community Company (ECC) in January 2019. The report is set out in referenece to the Client Brief, it focuses on the Community Links routes that are imported for local people SKYE to link their communities to services, places of employment and to each other. SCOPE The survey looked at identifying potential cycling walking routes from north of Flashader through Edinbane and on to Greshornish and Dunvegan. This would open up a total of 27km of new path the majority of these routes closely follow the main road the A850. The routes are set out on the Wider Path Network Map. The focus of the detailed survey work has been the 0.5km missing link from Flashader to opposite the campsite at Borve. This section links with existing paths, that if joined, would provide a safe route between the neighbouring communities of Flashader, Kildonan and Fanks to the north and Borve and Edinbane to the south. The wider network representing approximately 23km of potential routes was inspected at representative and key locations such as at junctions and sites of potential obstacles.

In total, 93.4% of all the GPS positions obtained from these nine seals were inside the Study Area. Only two seals left the Study Area for a significant portion of their time. Seal pv43-394-12 recorded 75% of its GPS positions inside the Study Area; for the remaining 25% of the time it travelled south out of the narrows at Kyle Rhea and west to off the south east coast of South Uist (Figure 16). Seal pv43-350-12 recorded 50% of its GPS positions inside the Study Area; for the remaining 50% of the time it travelled north out of the Study Area directly to the Butt of Lewis (Figure 16). Of these nine tagged seals, six left the narrows at Kyle Rhea at travelled north and west round the coast of Skye past the Project Site (Figure 16). One seal (pv43-376-12) moved along the coast of Skye, directly past the jetty construction site, with GPS location positions only 90 m from the construction site (Figure 17).

  • The Last Norseman
    MacAskills of Rubh’ an Dùnain Society The last Norsemen in the Isles? Raghnall MacilleDhuibh (First published in the West Highland Free Press 31.08.07) AS everyone knows, the Isles were once part of the kingdom of Norway, but the Gaelic language gradually absorbed the Viking settlers. This even happened in places like Skye which had belonged to the Picts. So what traces remain of Norse origins amongst the people? Off-hand, I can think of eleven families of Norse extraction – MacAskills, MacAulays, MacCorquodales, MacCrimmons, MacIvers, MacKillops, MacLeods, MacPhails, MacRailds, MacSwans and Nicolsons. They were proud of their origin. Many of them wore it on their sleeves by giving Norse names to their children. The favourite MacLeod forename was Thórmódhr, which means “the Mind (or Courage) of the god Thor” – Thórr “Thor”, módhr “mind, courage”. When Gaelic took over it became Tormod. Later on in the Middle Ages, a peculiar thing happened. It became necessary to write Tormod down in documents composed in Latin, Norman French or English. And it was turned into Normanus, Normand, Norman. I suppose this was because the chiefs of Lewis and Skye were the leading Northmen or Norsemen in Scotland, and because so many of them were called Tormod, and because there’s some similarity in sound between Tormod and Norman. The MacLeods are descended from Leòd or Leod (Ljótr, “Ugly”). He was born about 1210 or 1220. According to the late Rev. William Matheson, he appears to have been a son of Olvir, son of Bálki, son of Olvir Rósta, who was described in the “Orkneyinga Saga” as “the tallest of men, and strong of limb, exceedingly overbearing, and a great fighter”.
