  • 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.

    II.—An Account of St Columbd's Abbey, Inchcolm. Accompanied with Plans, ^c.1 (Plates IV.-VL) By THOMAS ARNOLD, Esq., Architect, M.R.LB.A, Lond. [Communicated January 11, 1869, with an Introductory Note.] NEAR the northern shores of the Firth of Forth, and within sight of Edin- burgh, lies the island anciently known as Emona, and in later times as Inchcolm, the island of St Columba. It is of very small extent, scarcely over half a mile in length, and 400 feet in width at its broadest part. The tide of commerce and busy life which ebbs and flows around has left the little inch in a solitude as profound as if it gemmed the bosom of some Highland loch, a solitude which impresses itself deeply on the stranger who comes to gaze on its ruined, deserted, and forgotten Abbey. Few even of those who visit the island from the beautiful village of Aberdour, close to it, know anything of its history, and as few out of sight of the island know of its existence at all. But although now little known beyond the shores of the Forth, Inchcolm formerly held a high place in the veneration of the Scottish people as the cradle of the religious life of the surrounding districts, and was second only to lona as a holy isle in whose sacred soil it was the desire of many generations to be buried. It numbered amongst its abbots men of high position and learning. Noble benefactors enriched it with broad lands and rich gifts, and its history and remains, like the strata of some old mountain, bear the marks of every great wave of life which has passed over our country.

  • August 2016 Hello! Another Month and Once Again I’M Wondering What on Earth to Write in This Opening Paragraph! July Has Been a Good Month with Lots Going On
    Best boot forward Newsletter for East Lothian Council Conservation Volunteers August 2016 Hello! Another month and once again I’m wondering what on earth to write in this opening paragraph! July has been a good month with lots going on. Plant and bee surveyors have been particularly busy recording their things but the ever-present litter picks and path and site maintenance tasks continue too. Events for volunteers have included a woodland wander at Yellowcraig and a hugely popular and spectacular boat trip around the islands. I have been busy with bright lights in beautiful locations. Read all about this, and more, in the following pages. It would be wonderful to receive articles from any of you about what you have been up to in the countryside (within reason!) or topics you think fellow vols might be interested in. Thank you to Dave O, Andy S, Dave Q and Abbie who have provided material at the last minute and to everyone else who has contributed. Upcoming ELC Conservation Volunteer tasks: New faces always welcome! If you would like to join in with a group for the first time, please get in touch with the relevant ranger to confirm details.

The later medieval church, however, was demolished for masonry towards the end of the sixteenth century, and all that is left is its footprint and the south aisle or transept (the Lady Chapel).4 The site passed in 1924 from the earl of Moray to the care of H.

  • The Bass Rock
    The Bass Rock. OAviO J l««,oi~, AT lf<<.M fJXA\ ^^ fiSli - t —____ k« . CHAPTER I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. HE rocky islands that dot the shores of the Forth have been picturesquely described by Sir Walter Scott in " Marmion " as " emeralds chased in gold." They have also been described as " bleak islets." Both these seemingly contradictory descriptions are true according as the sky is bright and sunny or, as so often happens in our northern climate, cloudy and1 overcast. Of these islands those known as the greater *' emeralds " are Inchkeith, Inchcolme, May Island, and the Bass. The lesser " emeralds " being Cramond, Inch- garvie, Fidra, Eyebroughty, and Craig Leith. Over nearly all these islands there clings a halo of romance and legend. With Inchkeith we associate a gallant chieftain, of the name of Keith, who in one of the« invasions of the Danes slew their leader, and received the island as a reward from a grateful King. 4 THE BASS ROCK. Inchcolme takes us back to the time of the Britons when the Druids are said to have here practised the mysteries of their religion. It was here, too, that David I., having sought refuge in a storm, was enter- tained by the hermit, and afterwards in gratitude founded a monastery, the ruins of which form at the present day a picturesque feature of the island. The May Island in early Christian times was dedi- cated to religious uses, and here a colony of monks under the saintly Adrian were massacred by the Danes. The beautifully shaped Fidra has also its historical associations, having had a monastic establishment in con- nection with the Abbey at North Berwick, and also a castle called Tarbert, which at one time belonged to the Lauders of the Bass.
