  • Anke-Beate Stahl
    Anke-Beate Stahl Norse in the Place-nam.es of Barra The Barra group lies off the west coast of Scotland and forms the southernmost extremity of the Outer Hebrides. The islands between Barra Head and the Sound of Barra, hereafter referred to as the Barra group, cover an area approximately 32 km in length and 23 km in width. In addition to Barra and Vatersay, nowadays the only inhabited islands of the group, there stretches to the south a further seven islands, the largest of which are Sandray, Pabbay, Mingulay and Bemeray. A number of islands of differing sizes are scattered to the north-east of Barra, and the number of skerries and rocks varies with the tidal level. Barra's physical appearance is dominated by a chain of hills which cuts through the island from north-east to south-west, with the peaks of Heaval, Hartaval and An Sgala Mor all rising above 330 m. These mountains separate the rocky and indented east coast from the machair plains of the west. The chain of hills is continued in the islands south of Barra. Due to strong winter and spring gales the shore is subject to marine erosion, resulting in a ragged coastline with narrow inlets, caves and natural arches. Archaeological finds suggest that farming was established on Barra by 3000 BC, but as there is no linguistic evidence of a pre-Norse place names stratum the Norse immigration during the ninth century provides the earliest onomastic evidence. The Celtic cross-slab of Kilbar with its Norse ornaments and inscription is the first traceable source of any language spoken on Barra: IEptir porgerdu Steinars dottur es kross sja reistr', IAfter Porgero, Steinar's daughter, is this cross erected'(Close­ Brooks and Stevenson 1982:43).

  • Standard Committee Report
    SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE: 13 JUNE 2007 HEBRIDES ARCHAEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION PROGRAMME Report by Director for Sustainable Communities PURPOSE OF REPORT: To report progress on implementation of the Hebrides Archaeological Interpretation Programme. COMPETENCE 1.1 There are no legal, financial or other constraints to the recommendation being implemented. SUMMARY 2.1 The Hebrides Archaeological Interpretation Programme (HAIP) was initiated to address the need for improved interpretation of archaeological sites in the Western Isles, funded jointly by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar and the European Union through the Highlands and Islands Special Transitional Programme. The principal outputs comprise a series of guidebooks, development of websites, and installation of interpretative panels and access improvements at key sites throughout the islands. 2.2 A project officer was appointed, and delivery of the Programme’s objectives, now underway, is due for completion in 2008. Progress towards the stated objectives and targets is monitored by a Steering Group. This report provides a summary of progress. RECOMMENDATION 3.1 It is recommended that the Comhairle note the contents of the progress report on the Hebrides Archaeological Interpretation Programme. Contact Officer: Carol Knott, Archaeological Interpretation Officer (tel. 01851 860679) Background Papers: None REPORT DETAILS BACKGROUND 4.1 Implementation of the Hebrides Archaeological Interpretation Programme began in September 2005. The three principal objectives were progressed concurrently: • Production of a series of three guidebooks to the archaeological sites of the Western Isles, covering Barra; the Uists and Benbecula; and Lewis and Harris. • Development of websites: ‘Archaeology Hebrides’, linked to the ‘Visit Hebrides’ website, aimed at promoting the Western Isles archaeological heritage to prospective visitors; and on-line access to the Western Isles Sites and Monuments Record, a definitive database.

  • ABBREVIATIONS Use. the Reader That
    ABBREVIATIONS A. GENERAL Most of these call for no explanation, as they are in everyday use. The reader has already been warned that 'q.v.' does not invariably imply that there is a separate article on the person so indicated—in several instances he must be sought in the general article on his family. Again, the editor has not troubled to insert a 'q.v.' automatically after the name of a person who is so very well known that the reader may confidently assume that the book contains an article on him. Dates (of birth or death) left unqueried may be assumed to rest on authority: whether the authority is invariably correct is another matter. Dates queried indicate that we are merely told (on good authority) that the person concerned, say, 'died at the age of 64'. The form '1676/7' is used for the weeks of 1 January- 25 March in the years preceding the reform of the calendar by the Act of 1751. The 'Sir' (in Welsh, 'Syr') prefixed to a cleric's name in the older period is in practice merely the 'Rev.' of later times. Strictly speaking, it implied that the cleric had not taken the degree of M.A. (when he would have become 'Mr.', or in Welsh 'Mastr'); a 'Sir' might be a B.A., or an undergraduate, or indeed quite frequently a man who had never been near a university. It will be remembered that Shakespeare has 'Sir Hugh Evans' or, again, 'Sir Nathaniel, a curate'. B. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL Sir John Lloyd had issued to contributors a leaflet prescribing the abbreviations to be used in referring to 'a selection of the works most likely to be cited', adding 'contributors will abbreviate the titles of other works, but the abbreviations should not be such as to furnish no clue at all to the reader when read without context'.

  • Roads Revenue Programme 2008/2009 Purpose Of
    DMR13108 TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE 16 APRIL 2008 ROADS REVENUE PROGRAMME 2008/2009 PURPOSE OF Report by Director of Technical Services REPORT To propose the Roads Revenue Programme for 2008/2009 for Members’ consideration. COMPETENCE 1.1 There are no legal, financial or other constraints to the recommendations being implemented. 1.2 Financial provision is contained within the Comhairle’s Roads Revenue Estimates for the 2008/2009 financial year which allow for the expenditure detailed in this report. SUMMARY 2.1 Members are aware of the continuing maintenance programme undertaken to the roads network throughout the Comhairle’s area on an annual basis with these maintenance works including such items as resurfacing, surface dressing, and general repairs etc. 2.2 The Marshall Block shown in Appendix 1 summarises the proposed revenue expenditure under the various heads for the 2008/2009 financial year and the detailed programme is given in Appendix 2. 2.3 Members are asked to note that because of the unforeseen remedial works that may arise, minor changes may have to be carried out to the programme at departmental level throughout the course of the financial year. 2.4 As Members will be aware the road network has in the last twelve months deteriorated at a greater rate than usual. This is mainly due to the aging bitumen in the surface together with the high number of wet days in the last few months. As a result it is proposed that a proportion of the road surfacing budget be used for “Cut Out Patching.” Due to the rising cost of bitumen products and the stagnant nature of the budget it is not felt appropriate to look at longer sections of surfacing until the damage of the last twelve months has been repaired.

Introduction Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 imposes a duty on Local Planning Authorities to determine from time to time which parts of their area are „areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance‟ and to designate these areas as conservation areas. Hay-on-Wye is one of four designated conservation areas in the National Park. Planning authorities have a duty to protect these areas from development which would harm their special historic or architectural character and this is reflected in the policies contained in the National Park’s Local Development Plan. There is also a duty to review Conservation Areas to establish whether the boundaries need amendment and to identify potential measures for enhancing and protecting the Conservation Area. The purpose of a conservation area appraisal is to define the qualities of the area that make it worthy of conservation area status. A clear, comprehensive appraisal of its character provides a sound basis for development control decisions and for developing initiatives to improve the area.

  • 65 the Relationship Between Output and Unemployment in Scotland: a Regional Analysis
    LAND ECONOMY WORKING PAPER SERIES ___________________________________________________________________ Number: 65 The relationship between output and unemployment in Scotland: A regional analysis Corresponding Author: Cesar Revoredo-Giha Land Economy Research Group SAC Research Division SAC Edinburgh EH9 3JG Tel: 0131-535-4344 Email: [email protected] THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUTPUT AND UNEMPLOYMENT IN SCOTLAND: A REGIONAL ANALYSIS Cesar Revoredo-Giha, Philip Leat and Alan Renwick ABSTRACT The relationship between unemployment and growth (i.e., the so-called Okun’s Law) has long standing in macroeconomics and regional economics. In this paper we estimate such a relationship for Scotland and at the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) level 3 regions using a panel dataset. The main motivations behind this interest are twofold: first, to test whether such a relationship exists in Scotland and how different these estimates are from those produced for the UK. Second, whether there exist regional differences in the estimates. The latter is particularly important in the context of the current budgetary cuts, which may affect both GDP growth and unemployment in different ways rural and urban areas. Results indicate that the Okun’s coefficient for Scotland is slightly higher than the one computed for the UK (1.7 Scotland versus 1.39 and 1.45 for the UK), and although an Okun relationship seemed to be valid for most of the regions, there were no statistical differences between rural and urban areas. However, as regards the effect of economic growth on unemployment, the results indicate a different and stronger effect in urban areas than in rural areas.

Therefore Scottish Natural Heritage and the Cairngorms National Park Authority commissioned a market research study to evaluate public perceptions of wild places amongst a representative cross-section of Scottish residents and a subset amongst those living within the boundaries of the Cairngorms National Park (CNP). The study identifies the level of support for wild places and whether the views of those who live within CNP match the population of Scotland as a whole. A total of 1,304 face to face interviews were conducted (1,004 across Scotland and 300 with residents of the CNP).

  • Environmental & Regulatory Services
    Environmental & regulatory services Performance Indicators 2002/03 Comparing the performance of Scottish councils Prepared for the Accounts Commission February 2004 The Accounts Commission The Accounts Commission is a statutory, independent body, which through, the audit process, assists local authorities in Scotland to achieve the highest standards of financial stewardship and the economic, efficient and effective use of their resources. The Commission has five main responsibilities: • securing the external audit • following up issues of concern identified through the audit, to ensure satisfactory resolutions • reviewing the management arrangements which audited bodies have in place to achieve value for money • carrying out national value for money studies to improve economy, efficiency and effectiveness in local government • issuing an annual direction to local authorities which sets out the range of performance information which they are required to publish.
