Xonoon GIBBINGS & COY., LTD., 18 Bury Street, w.c. 190 0. TO Sir KENNETH MATHESON, Bart. OF LOCHALSH, A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE, BRAVE, AND STALWART OF HIGHLAND FAMILIES. PREFACE. The first edition of the late Mr Mackenzie's "History of the Mathesons" appeared in 1882, and the book has now been long out of print. Mr Mackenzie had a difficult task in writing this work, for though the Clan in the 14th century undoubtedly rivalled in position and power the neighbouring Mackenzies, yet through the action of the Macdonalds in the following century its unity was broken, and it became a " minor clan," with no charters, and with no references thereto in public documents. The individual history of the Northern Clans at best begins with the 15th century, but here Mr Mackenzie had only the clan traditions to avail himself of until the 17th century, when the minor clans all over the North come into the light of history from under the shadow of the larger clans and their chiefs.

Whilst it is of paramount importance that all drinking water receives adequate disinfection, it is also expected that Scottish Water will take steps to minimise the impact of residual chlorine on the aesthetic acceptability of the water to consumers. Control of the disinfection process is also key to minimising the formation of disinfection by-products such as Trihalomethanes. This letter sets out a new water quality measurement, the Disinfection Index, designed to define the stability of the chlorine residual achieved in the water leaving a water treatment works, and to compare that stability with a predefined standard. The Disinfection Index will be used to determine success, or otherwise, of work carried out to improve disinfection during the Q & S 3 period. Background The chlorine residual in water leaving a water treatment works can be influenced by many factors. For example, seasonal changes in raw water quality, degree of treatment applied before disinfection, short-circuiting in the treated water storage reservoir, and even the accuracy of the analysis and recording of the residual, are among the factors influencing the stability shown by chlorine residual data.

  • Crofters' Common Grazings in Scotland
    Crofters' Common Grazings in Scotland By JAMES R. COULL N temperate Europe, the utilization of rough or unimproved land for grazing in common has been for centuries a feature of the traditional I economy---especially in regions of hill and mountain; indeed the use of hill grazings in such regions as the Highlands has been the stamp of adjust- ment to environment of economies dependent principally on stock rearing. In the old way in the crofting districts, the stock had to exist mainly on the hill, although they also grazed the inbye lands of townships after the harvest had been gathered; this is changing somewhat, now that croft land is used more for producing food for animals rather than people, although the hill grazings are still of vital importance. Some idea of the extent and importance of hill land may be got from the ratios of inbye to outbye land computed by F. Fraser Darling: this ratio is 1:12.5 in the Outer Hebrides, I : 2o in Skye, and rises as high as I : 85 in Wester Ross and I : 9o ill the North-West Main- land. 1 The survival of common land, along with the ways of utilization, is cer- tainly not peculiar to the Scottish Highlands. Thus there are more than 4, 5°o units of common land totalling some I½ million acres in England and Wales, and significantly most of it is in hill areas like the mountains of Wales and the Lake District. ~W. G. Hoskins has pointed out that commons are among the most ancient institutions of England? It is also known as far apart as Norway and Greece.
