  • Case Study 9 - Scotland North Coast
    Case Study 9 - Scotland North Coast 9.1. Introduction The North coast is 560km in length, running from the north-west at Cape Wrath eastwards to Duncansby Head and John O’Groats, with the Orkney Isles lying close offshore, and the Shetland Isles further into the North Sea. Its characteristics are varied with the North Sea interacting for the most part with rocky sea cliffs interspersed by small bays. As one of the least inhabited areas of Scotland there are a small number of abandoned villages and ruins and a few ports and fishing villages, which have stood the test of time, forced down to the coast by the rugged Highlands of the hinterland. The coastline is more structured along this part, characterised by a series of headlands, small bays and sandy beaches - a product of erosion themselves - acting as a natural buffer and providing important dune habitats for flora and fauna (Mendum et al., 20011). There is a small but eclectic mix of socio-cultural development in this area, retaining a distinctive Nordic influence whilst including the resting and submission point of wartime enemies, remnants of villages created or dispersed by the Highland Clearances, a chain of fifteenth century seaside mansions and a retired nuclear reactor (Barling et al., 19962). 9.1.1. Geology & Geomorphology The structure of the coastline is relatively solid in comparison to the fragmented western coast, with 74% (416km) comprised of hard or mixed geology and only 1% (7km) of soft coastline (Fitton et al., 20173). The geology of the area runs in strikes from south-west to north-east changing along the coastline from west to east.

Das Castle ist der Inbegriff der trutzigen Stärke und Pracht einer mittelalterlichen Burg. Die Geschichte ist eng mit der Geschichte der Familien verknüpft, die hier lebten – die de Vaux, die Halyburtons und die Ruthvens. Die Gebäude entsprachen ihren Bedürfnissen und spiegelten ihren Status wider. Dabei hatten eine gezielte Planung und der Erhalt des Alten jedoch eine geringere Priorität, als die aktuelle Mode und die Bemühung mit allen Kräften den Nachbarn deutlich sichtbar zu übertrumpfen. Die eindruckvolle Festung wurde im Jahre 1220 von John de Vaux, nachdem die Familie in den Besitz der Ländereien von Gullane und Dirleton gekommen war, als Ersatz für eine ältere Burg errichtet, die man hier ein Jahrhundert zuvor gebaut hatte. Nach dem die Burg den Erben von John de Vaux 400 Jahre als Wohnsitz gedient hatte, wurde sie verlassen, geriet aber nicht in Vergessenheit. Heute wacht sie über die eleganten Gartenanlagen ihrer späteren Besitzer, die die Burgruine als besonders Zierstück in ihren Garten integrierten. - 2 - Dirleton Castle Rundgang durch das Dirleton Castle Der Rundgang beginnt bei den Wehranlagen, dem „Äußeren“ Castle und führt durch die Inneren Gebäudes, dem Inneren Castle und endet in den Gartenanlagen.

Built around the middle of the 13th century, it remained a noble residence for four centuries. Three families resided there, and each has left its mark on the fabric – the de Vauxs (13th century – the cluster of towers at the SW corner), the Haliburtons (14th/15th century – the entrance gatehouse and east range) and the Ruthvens (16th century – the Ruthven Lodging, dovecot and gardens). The first recorded siege of Dirleton Castle was in 1298, during the Wars of Independence with England. The last occurred in 1650, following Oliver Cromwell’s invasion. However, Dirleton was primarily a residence of lordship, not a garrison stronghold, and the complex of buildings that we see today conveys clearly how the first castle was adapted to suit the changing needs and fancies of their successors.

THE "SETON-GORDONS " Of the cadet branches of the family of Seton by- far the most Important, and the largest, is that which, only two generations after its emergence from the parent stem, dropped the patronymic and. assumed the surname of the heiress of Gordon. In so far as the history of Scotland is concerned, this family of "Seton-Gordons", i.e. the Gordons who originated from the Setons, was a more consistently im- portant factor in the affairs of State than the main line, from the early 15th Century onwards. To their undoubted success many factors contribu- ted. When Alexander de Seton, second son of Sir William de Seton, married in 1408 Elizabeth de Gordon he became through her, and her maternal relations, the .possessor of large properties. He found himself at once in the position of one of the great land owners in the North; and he and his successors were particularly skilful in "birsing yorifj;" their boundaries.

  • 7. Some Lesser Lothian Streams This Is A
    7. Some Lesser Lothian Streams This is a ‘wash-up’ section, in which I look briefly at a number of small streams, mostly called burns, which flow directly to the sea or the Firth of Forth, but which in terms of discharge rate are mainly an order of magnitude smaller than the rivers looked at so far. For each, I give a short account of the course and pick out a few features of interest, presenting photographs as seems appropriate. Starting furthest to the east, the streams dealt with are as follows: 1. Dunglas Burn 2. Thornton Burn 3. Spott Burn 4. Biel Water 5. East Peffer Burn 6. West Peffer Burn 7. Niddrie Burn 8. Braid Burn 9. Midhope Burn As shall become clear, some of these streams change their names more than once along their lengths and most are formed at the junction of other named streams, but hopefully any confusion will be resolved in the accounts which follow. 7.1 The Dunglas Burn The stream begins life as the Oldhamstocks Burn which collects water from a number of springs on Monynut Edge, the eastern flank of the Lammermuir Hills. No one of these feeders dominates, so the source is taken as where the name Oldhamstocks Burn appears, at grid point NT 713 699, close to the 200m contour. After flowing c3km east, the name changes to the Dunglas Burn which flows slightly north-east in a deep, steep- sided valley for just over 7km to reach the sea. For the downstream part of its course the burn is the boundary between the Lothians and the Scottish Borders, but upstream it flows in the former region.
