Argyll & Bute Council Mid Argyll, Kintyre and Islay
ARGYLL & BUTE COUNCIL MID ARGYLL, KINTYRE AND ISLAY AREA COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 7th July 2004 THE GAELIC RING 1. SUMMARY 1.1. An informal meeting took place in Oban during the week of last year’s Royal National Mod festival, involving some of the members of the Oban, Lorn and the Isles Area Committee and the Western Isles Council, at which matters of joint interest were discussed. 1.2. Among the items of mutual interest raised was the concept of creating a tourism marketing initiative which could be called ‘The Gaelic Ring’ which would be aimed at linking the Gaelic-speaking areas of the Western Seaboard of the mainland with the Argyll and Highland islands and the Hebridean chain of the Western Isles. The links would be physical (transportation links) and cultural (themes – music/dance/heritage etc), and could be promoted in the first instance by local partnerships assembling programmes of events which could be accessed using journeys within the existing Caledonian MacBrayne Network, not dissimilar to CalMac’s ‘Island Hopscotch’ travel packages. 1.3 The Gaelic Ring should be a carefully constructed tourism marketing effort developed through partnership working between Argyll & Bute Council, The Highland Council, Western Isles Council, the respective Area Tourist Boards, the HIE Network and Caledonian MacBrayne. 2. Recommendation 2.1. That the Mid Argyll, Kintyre and Islay Area Committee supports the development of the ‘Hebridean Gaelic Ring’ (Cearcall na Gaidhlig) initiative, and 2.2. That the Director of Development Services be authorised to co-ordinate and develop the concept in conjunction with other appropriate agencies and in close co-operation with the corresponding agencies in the Highland Council area and the Western Isles.

S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It
3 S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It is probably true to say that the most enduring aspect of Norse place-names in the Hebrides, if we expect settlement names, has been the toponymy of the sea coast. This is perhaps not surprising, when we consider the importance of the sea and the seashore in the economy of the islands throughout history. The interplay of agriculture and fishing has contributed in no small measure to the great variety of toponymic terms which are to be found in the islands. Moreover, the broken nature of the island coasts, and the variety of scenery which they afford, have ensured the survival of a great number of coastal terms, both in Gaelic and Norse. The purpose of this paper, then, is to examine these terms with a Norse content in the hope of assessing the importance of the two languages in the various islands concerned. The distribution of Norse names in the Hebrides has already attracted scholars like Oftedal and Nicolaisen, who have concen trated on establis'hed settlement names, such as the village names of Lewis (OftedaI1954) and the major Norse settlement elements (Nicolaisen, S.H.R. 1969). These studies, however, have limited themselves to settlement names, although both would recognise that the less important names also merit study in an intensive way. The field-work done by the Scottish Place Name Survey, and localised studies like those done by MacAulay (TGSI, 1972) have gone some way to rectifying this omission, but the amount of material available is enormous, and it may be some years yet before it is assembled in a form which can be of use to scholar ship.

Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions
Records of species and subspecies recorded in Scotland on up to 20 occasions In 1993 SOC Council delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List (list of all species and subspecies of wild birds recorded in Scotland). In turn, SBRC appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function. Current members are Dave Clugston, Ron Forrester, Angus Hogg, Bob McGowan Chris McInerny and Roger Riddington. In 1996, Peter Gordon and David Clugston, on behalf of SBRC, produced a list of records of species recorded in Scotland on up to 5 occasions (Gordon & Clugston 1996). Subsequently, SBRC decided to expand this list to include all acceptable records of species recorded on up to 20 occasions, and to incorporate subspecies with a similar number of records (Andrews & Naylor 2002). The last occasion that a complete list of records appeared in print was in The Birds of Scotland, which included all records up until 2004 (Forrester et al. 2007). During the period from 2002 until 2013, amendments and updates to the list of records appeared regularly as part of SBRC’s Scottish List Subcommittee’s reports in Scottish Birds. Since 2014 these records have appear on the SOC’s website, a significant advantage being that the entire list of all records for such species can be viewed together (Forrester 2014). The Scottish List Subcommittee are now updating the list annually. The current update includes records from the British Birds Rarities Committee’s Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 2015 (Hudson 2016) and SBRC’s Report on rare birds in Scotland, 2015 (McGowan & McInerny 2017).

VOL. LI FEBRUARY No. 2 1958 BRITISH BIRDS THE BIRDS OF TIREE AND COLL By J. MORTON BOYD (Department of Zoology, Glasgow University*) (Plates 18-20) THE islands of Tiree and Coll, Inner Hebrides, lie totally within the vice-county Mid Ebudes (103). Situated between Mull and the Barra Isles, they stretch some 45 miles S.W. into the ocean from Ardnamurchan, the most westerly headland of the Scottish main land. Their geographical position, and separate scale maps of each, are shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. This work is concerned with records of all species of bird observed, from the earliest literature to the present day, not only on Tiree and Coll, but also on all islands and rocks between and including Eilein Mor, N.E. of Coll, and Skerryvore, S.W. of Tiree. The islands are a low undulating platform of Lewisian gneiss masked extensively by raised beach material and wind-blown sand. The sand deposits are particularly widespread in Tiree and S.W. Coll, but in N.W. Coll there are considerable tracts of bare rock. The terrain rises to its highest point (460 feet) in Ben Hynish, Tiree. The principal ecological divisions of the islands are: (i) an intertidal zone, including extensive beaches of shell-sand inter spaced with rocky shores trenched by eroded dykes, and fringed with skerries; (ii) grazed sand-dune systems landward to the shore sand, and moorland altered by salt-spray landward to the rocky shores (the only substantial sea-cliffs are at Ceann a'Mhara, Tiree); (iii) machair or sea-meadow, and cultivated calcareous grassland covering wide tracts of Tiree and S.W.

Newsletter July 15
Colonsay & Oransay Heritage Trust July '15 newsletter We held our AGM in June. Here's our Chair's report Directors – David Binnie continues as Chair, David Hobhouse as Vice Chair, Carol MacNeill as Secretary and Keith continues as Treasurer. Donald MacNeilł was elected as a director, joining Esme Marshall and Katie Joll to bring our numbers to seven in total, with Chris Nisbet's resignation. Members Our membership stands at almost 60 - demonstrating enormous support from the local community, for which the Trust is very grateful. Associate membership continues to grow slowly and we are acquiring more friends on Facebook. Progress in the past year: another exciting year with lots of activities. There has been a shift in the emphasis of what we are undertaking. We have moved slightly away from concentrating on our long term goal of building a dedicated centre. It has become apparent from the feasibility study in 2013 that a centre estimated to cost around £800,000 was ambitious, and the projected income was over-optimistic. It is now also apparent that heritage lottery will not fund capital costs of buildings and that any organisation has to have some track record of robust management and achievement in projects to stand any likelihood of a bid being successful. Instead of focussing purely on a building, we have involved ourselves with several projects, and we have engaged the help of Hazel Smith in generating funding submissions and strengthening the governance of the Trust through training with Argyll Voluntary Action support. So what have we been doing since our last AGM in April '14 Intern: Last summer we took on Stephanie Kirby who many of you will have met.

So soon as a want is man's invention hastens to it and strongly felt, supply ; we may be sure, therefore, that in the very earliest ages of civilization lights of some kind or other were introduced for the benefit of the mariner. It may very well be that these, at first, would be nothing more than fires kindled on wave-washed promontories, 10 LIGHTHOUSES OF ANTIQUITY.

On the Birds of the Islands of Oigh-Sgeir and Causamul, North Uist
(330) ON THE BIRDS OF THE ISLANDS OF OIGH-SGEIR AND CAUSAMUL, NORTH UIST. BY R. B. FREEMAN. A SHORT visit was paid to these two islands on July ioth, 1939. Oigh-sgeir, called alternatively Heiskeir or Haskeir, lies seven and a half miles west of the north-west point of North Uist, Outer Hebrides (O.S. 1* Scotland 22), in lat. 57° 42' N. and long. 70 41' W. It is a small rocky island of Lewisian gneiss, half a mile long and less than a quarter of a mile wide at the widest part. The highest point is 123 ft. above sea-level. The map given is modified from the 6-inch ISLAND OF OIGH-SGEIR, NORTH UIST, HEBRIDES. Modified from O.S. 6", North Uist, Sheet XXIV. Scale 8" = 1 mile Barred areas represent Guillemot cliffs. Figures represent numbers of Fulmar nests, in the approximate position of each group. VOL. XXXIII] BIRDS OF NORTH UIST. 331 O.S. To any one visiting the island in future, it may be well to state that the only convenient landing place is that marked on the map, to the south-east side of the central natural arch. The only indication of human interference is a small hollow circular dun, now in ruins, on the north plateau. Much of the island is bare rock but the two plateaux have a good plant covering, and there is some plant growth on the more sheltered east side of the central ridge. Plantago maritima, with large, spatulate, erect leaves interspersed with Silene maritima and Armeria maritima cover the plateaux, and more clumped, stocky forms of these three grow in the crevices of the rocks.
