The megalithic sites surveyed during the August of 1909 are scattered ove a districr f unusuallo t y wide exten d mountainouan t s character, of which the interesting little town of Aberfeldy may be called the centre, though not strictly so in the topographical sense, but rather aa moss t convenient headquarters. Portion e districth f o st near Aberfeldy were previously visited descriptiond an , e siteth sf o stherei n have appeared in the two Reports preceding this one. But in a district so richly megalithi s somca e part f thio s s well-nigs arei t i , h impossible in a single month to overtake all the sites, partly because the personal knowledge of local residents comes in as an important factor in enlarging the list of sites prepared by consulting the records on the Ordnance Maps. In a general way, the district now to be reported on may be described as extending from Kinloch-Kannoch, fourteen miles nearly N.W. of Aberfeldy o Airlict , n Strathbraani h , abou x milesi t s Wf Dunkeldo . , and from Tarragon f Aberfeldyo Moo .

  • Highland Place Names from West Aberdeenshire, Scotland Lillia De Vaux, Crampette Herault (Rebecca S
    Highland Place Names from West Aberdeenshire, Scotland Lillia de Vaux, Crampette Herault (Rebecca S. Johnson, 2019) Introduction This article consists of mostly Scots or Latinized Scots names compiled from Place Names from West Aberdeenshire [19]. This article includes Highland place names primarily dated to the 12th-17th centuries, with a few earlier forms. The names show influences from the underlying Gaelic, Pictish, English, or Latin. Place Names from West Aberdeenshire was written by James MacDonald and edited and published posthumously in 1899 by the New Spalding Club (an antiquarian society dedicated to the publication of texts concerning the history of Aberdeenshire). MacDonald relied heavily on 19th century transcriptions of charters and other sources rather than the primary sources. Thankfully, many of his sources are available online and do not appear to include obviously normalized spellings, except where noted in the comments. The place names are listed first by MacDonald's modern header forms, which include some editorial accents for pronunciation aids. Only places dated up to 1650 are listed below. In a few cases, an exact date was not given by MacDonald. If anything was not dated, or the text was unclear, the spellings and dates were verified using his or other sources when possible. If a date could not be determined, only forms using period spelling conventions and/or implied by the text to be period forms are included; these are marked as "not dated" in the raw data below. In several cases, MacDonald noted that a date was recorded using a 16th century hand. These have been dated as "16th C".

An island is a piece of land surrounded by water. This atlas is focussed on small and very small islands that fall below the system of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) within the European Union not having a fixed link to the European mainland. ESIN represents 1,640 such islands with a resident population of 359,357people. These small islands have 3-4 million summer residents and ten times as many visitors, which creates a heavy human pressure on the islands’ social, technical and ecological systems.
