  • Doreen J. Waugh
    Doreen J. Waugh In (and around) Scatness* Introduction Place-names are cultural artefacts which can be scrutinised by researchers, in much the same way that a structure emerging out of the ground at the Old Scatness archaeological dig can be examined, with the aim of extracting from the individual place-name some information about the people who first created it, the linguistic and cultural environment in which they used it and the changing historical environment in which it then survived throughout ensuing centuries. The basic task of the toponymist is 'to provide etymologies based on the collection and study of early spellings', as Margaret Gelling noted in her excellent study of Place-Names in the Landscape (Gelling 1984, 1-2). Archaeologists, historians and scholars in other disciplines can then use the material as a supportive, analytical tool. One Shetland historian, at least, would argue that 'Scholars of place-names should aim to do more than collect names (or celebrate the 'nation' which coined them). They should attempt to reconstruct, or at least probe into, the societies where the names came to life' (Smith 1995, 26). Toponymists and archaeologists may approach their raw material in different ways, but it has long been recognised that the two disciplines are complementary. For the toponymist, the existence of an archaeological site can confirm the appropriateness of a place-name and, if the site has been excavated and dated, can help towards identifying a date for the creation of the place-name, which is often otherwise very difficult to establish, particularly in places like Shetland where the early written record is limited in extent.

  • Sumburgh, Sandwick & Dunrossness
    Five walks in Sumburgh, Sandwick & Dunrossness areas to get you out & about and get more physically active! WANDERS Sumburgh, Sandwick & Dunrossness St Ninian’s Isle—photo by Andrew Simpson Andrew by Isle—photo St Ninian’s PEERIE PEERIE WANDERS “Peerie Wanders” has been designed and developed by NHS Shetland Health Promotion Department in collaboration with Shetland Islands Council to help you be more active. This booklet contains a number of walks to get you out & about and help you on your journey to become more active! WHY WALKING? Brisk walking is a great way to be active and stay healthy—it’s not surprising that walking is the most popular leisure activity in Scotland. Walking is suitable for almost everyone and you don’t have to be fit to start with—you just have to get started. WHY BE MORE ACTIVE? The human body needs to be active to function properly, but modern living means that most of us are not active enough. Being more active means: • More energy • Stronger, toned muscles • A lower risk of heart disease, stroke and osteoporosis • A greater sense of well-being • Help to sleep better • Improved confidence HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BE ACTIVE? Guidelines state that you should aim to do 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week: Aim to build up to half an hour of moderate activity on most days to try and meet the guidelines. These book lets are designed to help you get walking to reach your goal. If you combine walking with other activities then all the better.

Where a quality applies to a particular area, the name is highlighted in bold . • The stunning variety of the extensive coastline • Coastal views both close and distant • Coastal settlement and fertility within a large hinterland of unsettled moorland and coast • The hidden coasts • The effects and co-existence of wind and shelter • A sense of remoteness, solitude and tranquillity • The notable and memorable coastal stacks, promontories and cliffs • The distinctive cultural landmarks • Northern light Special Quality Further information • The stunning variety of the extensive coastline Shetland’s long, extensive coastline is South West Mainland , stretching from Fitful Head (Old highly varied: from fissured and Norse hvitfugla, white birds) to the Deeps, displays greatly contrasting coastlines: fragmented hard rock coasts, to gentler formations of accumulated gravels, • Cliffed coastline of open aspect in the south to long voes sands, spits and bars; from remarkably at Weisdale and Whiteness. • Numerous small islands and stacks, notably in the area steep cliffs to sloping bays; from long, west of Scalloway.
