  • A Toponomastic Contribution to the Linguistic Prehistory of the British Isles
    A toponomastic contribution to the linguistic prehistory of the British Isles Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol Abstract It is well known that some of the major island-names of the archipelago consisting politically of the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the UK Crown Dependencies are etymologically obscure. In this paper, I present and cautiously analyse a small set of those which remain unexplained or uncertainly explained. It is timely to do this, since in the disciplines of archaeology and genetics there is an emerging consensus that after the last Ice Age the islands were repopulated mainly by people from a refuge on the Iberian peninsula. This opinion is at least superficially compatible with Theo Vennemann’s Semitidic and Vasconic hypotheses (e.g. Vennemann 1995), i.e. that languages (a) of the Afroasiatic family, and (b) ancestral to Basque, are important contributors to the lexical and onomastic stock of certain European languages. The unexplained or ill-explained island names form a small set, but large enough to make it worthwhile to attempt an analysis of their collective linguistic heritage, and therefore to give – or fail to give – preliminary support to a particular hypothesis about their origin.* * This paper is a development of one read at the 23rd International Congress of Onomastic Sciences, Toronto, 17-22 August 2008, and I am grateful to the editors of the Proceedings (2009), Wolfgang Ahrens, Sheila Embleton, and André Lapierre, for permission to re-use some material. A version was also read at the Second Conference on the Early Medieval Toponymy of Ireland and Scotland, Queen’s University Belfast, 13 November 2009.

    SEIL AND EASDALE COMMUNITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF PUBLIC MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2015 Seil Island Hall PRESENT: Seumas Anderson, John Gordon, Graeme Bruce, Anne Marie Robin, Chris Dugdale, Cllr Elaine Robertson, Jane Darby and Fiona Dickie – Kilmore CC, Toni Mitchell – Kilninver & Kilmelford CC, Nicky Archibald – Luing CC, Graeme Forester, Julie Ferris and 30 members of the public APOLOGIES: Charles Struthers, Alan MacFadyen, PC Jeremy Moore, Cllrs Duncan MacIntyre, Iain MacDonald and Iain MacLean DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Anne Marie Robin and John Gordon as property owners in proximity to the proposed Scottish Water development; Seumas Anderson as a landowner potentially affected by the proposal. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING The Minutes of the meeting held on 28th July 2015 were agreed as an accurate record; proposed by Ann Reid, seconded by Anne Marie Robin. BOUNDARY COMMISSION PROPOSALS The Chair welcomed Mr Graeme Forester of Argyll and Bute Council’s Governance & Law Department. Mr Forester explained that the Local Government Boundary Commission (LGBC) for Scotland’s Review was in two phases: councillor numbers for each council and ward boundaries. Councillor numbers are determined by population distribution, with some weighting given to areas of deprivation. Every member of the community in Scotland should have access to an elected Councillor as their representative, and each Councillor should represent approximately 2,000 people. Therefore, multi-member wards with either three or four Councillors should have a population of approximately six or eight thousand. Argyll and Bute has a declining population (although Cllr Robertson pointed out that the population in this area is not declining) and so the number of Councillors must diminish.

  • Final Report
    Island of Seil Wastewater Treatment Options Review FINAL REPORT May 2017 Document History Version Comment V2.0 FINAL Scottish Water FINAL 19 May 2017 Executive Summary 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of Scottish Water’s appraisal of the options available to deliver sustainable wastewater treatment solutions on the Isle of Seil. 2. BACKGROUND a. Original Project A project to provide a first time sewerage and treatment scheme for the Island of Seil (Argyll and Bute) was implemented in the 2006-2010 investment period (SR06), replacing private raw discharges and creating a treatment works serving a population of circa 300 at Balvicar, discharging to a shellfish water (Seil Sound). The Shellfish Water designation ordinarily requires disinfection of the effluent and modelling of the bacterial loading to demonstrate quality. During this period, Scottish Water utilised a relatively new membrane technology in a number of communities where high standards/disinfection was required. This provides a barrier treatment, effectively removing bacteria to deliver a high quality effluent. SEPA therefore accepted a proposal for a membrane treatment plant and network designed to serve a community of up to 500 population with minimal spills. b. Community Experience - Project Delivery The first time sewerage and treatment works was delivered through Scottish Water Solutions. During delivery there was a great deal of community disruption with the laying of a new sewer for the settlement adjacent to the coast. This involved significant intrusion into gardens and private property and extensive roadworks along the single track road that forms the main thoroughfare around the island.

This presented a great opportunity to spend time again in Scotland. John and I spent two months living in Cuilcheanna on Loch Leven. This was close to the area where the McCowans had lived before leaving for Canada. Soaking up the atmosphere in this most beautiful part of Scotland of lochs and mountains was sheer joy. Of course it was a delight in getting to know the locals with their "West Highland ways". In Scotland, we saw so much that was connected with Archibald McCowan, his wife, Margaret McDougall, and their children. New information was also collected. It seemed to be a good idea to write about this, so what began as a personal experience in Scotland, grew into this version of Archibald and Margaret's story. Sometimes there has not been proof to my way of thinking but this has not stopped me from including it. When more records and information come to light, my suppositions will be replaced with reality. The story of Archibald and Margaret was told in Chapter 1 of the book The McCowan family from Argyll, Scotland to Australia edited by Norma Wilson and Beverly Bourke (1997). This story was used with the additional material supplementing it and creating mis version.
