    Dipterists Digest

    Dipterists Digest Scottish Islands Series Edited by Derek Whiteley Contributions by E.G. Hancock, A.R. Plant, K.P. Bland, 0. Whiteley, D. Horsfield Introduction E.G. Hancock Between 25-29 June 1990, ttie 10th Annual Scottish Entomologists' Field Meeting was located on Rum, previously spelt Rhum, apparently Incorrectly (Campbell, 1991). To mark a decade of these field meetings it was appropriate to be invited by the Nature Conservancy Council to spend a week recording insects there. Twenty two entomologists travelled to the west of Scotland of whom fourteen contributed records of Diptera. In the past, and since then, the support of the NCC and its successor bodies has been of great benefit to these annual field meetings which has been reciprocated by the provision of records on the sites visited. In 1990 we were specifically invited to Rum for several reasons. This island is one of the Inner Hebrides and has been managed as a National Nature Reserve since 1957. It has been over twenty years since extensive systematic recording viras last undertaken and subsequently published as an impressive listing (Wormell, 1982). Also the effect of new management practices were beginning to have an effect on the landscape which might be reflected in a change in the insect fauna. The most visible of these was a programme of tree planting, sometimes within fenced areas to protect the plants from grazing damage by red deer, it has been shown in some of the results already published (Hancock, 1992) that there are some detectable additions to the fauna attributable to the greater abundance and variety of trees.
  • Trip 1: the Inner Hebrides

    Trip 1: the Inner Hebrides

    TRIP 1: THE INNER HEBRIDES This trip was planned to take in all the islands of the Inner Hebrides I had not visited on previous walking holidays, which explains why Skye, Mull, Iona and Colonsay do not feature. Jura is not included because, despite three attractive walks, I did not find a spot inspiring enough to write about. I’m sure there are many such spots on Jura – I just did not reach them. My itinerary was arranged thanks to the ferry services of Caledonian Macbrayne operating out of Oban and Mallaig and bus connections on Mull (to reach Ardnamurchan), Islay and Jura. The visit was over four weeks in August and September 2012. Photo 1867: Map of NW tip of Ardnamurchan and Small Isles (Crown copyright 2015, Ordnance Survey FL-GV 166842) 1: Sanna Bay, Ardnamurchan This trail has a special resonance for me because I was reading an eye-opening book called ‘Night Falls on Ardnamurchan’ (2) about the reality of crofting life at Sanna in the mid-20th century. I recommend staying at the Sonachan Hotel, both for its convenience and for its stunning location (try to book a north-west facing room so that you can see the sunset in summer). Take the road towards Achosnich and, after about a kilometre, there’s a small sign on the right indicating ‘The Old Schoolhouse Path’, which sounds enticing. It also heads in roughly the right direction for Sanna Bay so I thought it was worth a shot. Follow the track up to what looks like the old schoolhouse and then find your way over the shoulder of the heather-clad hills towards the coast.

Here is Martin’s account of an epic journey. JUST north of Oban, the morning before embarking on Leader, we find where the giant Fionn MacCoul, his mighty band, and their monstrous dogs, gathered for the deer-chase.

    A Landscape Fashioned by Geology

    Rum and the Small Isles : A landscape fashioned by geology The rugged, wild, mountainous landscape of Rum owes its creation to a geological history that stretches back nearly 3000 million years. For such a small island the range of scenery is remarkable - from the jagged peaks of Askival and Hallival in the east, to the rounded hills of Orval and Ard Nev in the west and the flatlands of Kinloch Glen. The spectacular panorama from Rum encompasses the sloping RUM AND THE backbone of Eigg, the rich green pasture of diminutive Muck and the carved basalt coastline embracing Canna and the low-lying Sanday. Held together by the sea, these islands combine a richness of landform, colour and texture with ever-changing light and dramatic weather. Find out how this mecca for geologists was formed over millions of years in this riveting tale of deserts and oceans, volcanoes and glaciers. R UM SMALL ISLES AND A LANDSCAPE FASHIONED BY GEOLOGY THE The silhouette of Rum is one of the most dramatic sights on Scotland’s west coast. Its diverse rocks and SMALL the landscapes they form have developed over billions of years as this part of the Earth’s crust moved across the planet. This guide beautifully illustrates the traces of ancient seas and rivers in the rocks ISLES and, more recently, Rum’s violent volcanic history as the North Atlantic rifted open.
