  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

  • S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It
    3 S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It is probably true to say that the most enduring aspect of Norse place-names in the Hebrides, if we expect settlement names, has been the toponymy of the sea coast. This is perhaps not surprising, when we consider the importance of the sea and the seashore in the economy of the islands throughout history. The interplay of agriculture and fishing has contributed in no small measure to the great variety of toponymic terms which are to be found in the islands. Moreover, the broken nature of the island coasts, and the variety of scenery which they afford, have ensured the survival of a great number of coastal terms, both in Gaelic and Norse. The purpose of this paper, then, is to examine these terms with a Norse content in the hope of assessing the importance of the two languages in the various islands concerned. The distribution of Norse names in the Hebrides has already attracted scholars like Oftedal and Nicolaisen, who have concen­ trated on establis'hed settlement names, such as the village names of Lewis (OftedaI1954) and the major Norse settlement elements (Nicolaisen, S.H.R. 1969). These studies, however, have limited themselves to settlement names, although both would recognise that the less important names also merit study in an intensive way. The field-work done by the Scottish Place Name Survey, and localised studies like those done by MacAulay (TGSI, 1972) have gone some way to rectifying this omission, but the amount of material available is enormous, and it may be some years yet before it is assembled in a form which can be of use to scholar­ ship.

Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.

  • Submission from Mointeach Gun Mhuilean Moorlands Without Turbines
    SUBMISSION FROM MOINTEACH GUN MHUILEAN MOORLANDS WITHOUT TURBINES Visit to Lewis, Monday 24 April 2006 We are aware that the purpose of your visit is with regard to crofting issues. However, we take strong exception to the inclusion of John Price from Lewis Wind Power in the proceedings. We are concerned that you are fully aware of the level of opposition to the proposed large-scale windfarm developments on the Isle of Lewis. The following provides a review of indicators. To date 17 measures of public opinion on the Western Isles, ranging from grazing committee ballots to a Western Isles wide BBC/MORI poll, have found significant majority opposition to the proposals. Table 1 provides a summary of survey findings. Further, in response to the two planning applications currently being considered, the Scottish Executive has received over 9, 500 representations objecting to the proposals1 2with approximately 77% originating on the Western Isles. (Only 38 letters of support have been submitted) Measured opposition to the proposals is most significant in the areas directly affected by the proposals, where consistently up to 80% of the population has expressed its opposition. The strength of public opposition was reflected in the voting of councillors in wards where ballots were held (see Map 1), representing ward populations of approximately 6000 people. This opposition is present in spite of the ‘community benefit’ incentives that are being offered by the developers. However, there is widespread support for small renewable projects, for example, a number of wind turbines have already been erected and a small marine project is also being pursued within the communities affected by the Lewis Wind Power proposal.

  • 34 MYRIAPODS on the OUTER HEBRIDES Gordon B Corbet Little
    BULLETIN OF THE BRITISH MYRIAPOD AND ISOPOD GROUP Volume 20 2004 MYRIAPODS ON THE OUTER HEBRIDES Gordon B Corbet Little Dumbarnie, Upper Largo, Leven, Fife, KY8 6JG. INTRODUCTION Published records of myriapods from the Outer Hebrides are scanty and are summarised in three sources. Waterston (1981) recorded 15 species, with a list of islands from which each had been recorded. This incorporated records from Barra in 1935 reported by Waterston (1936). The provisional atlases (British Myriapod Group, 1988 for millipedes, Barber & Keay, 1988 for centipedes) recorded seven species, adding two to the total, but did not claim to be comprehensive with regard to earlier published records. In addition there are unpublished records of millipedes rising from a survey of invertebrates conducted in 1976 by the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ITE, 1979). This included pitfall-trapping at 18 sites on Lewis/Harris, North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist, but produced only Cylindroiulus latestriatus (at every site), plus a single Polydesmus inconstans on North Uist. I visited the Outer Hebrides from 3rd to 13th June 2003 and recorded myriapods on the following islands: Lewis/Harris, Great Bernera (bridged), Scalpay (bridged), South Uist, Eriskay (bridged), Barra and Vatersay (bridged). Recording was solely by hand searching in leaf-litter and under stones, wood and refuse. The general impression was that myriapods were scarce, with a large proportion of turned stones revealing nothing. In contrast earwigs, Forficula auricularia were unusually abundant. MILLIPEDES Waterston (1981) recorded six species, including one, Cylindroiulus britannicus, from St Kilda only. The provisional atlas recorded four species post-1970 adding Ophyiulus pilosus.
