  • The Big Kipper Presenter
    THE BIG KIPPER THE BIG KIPPER HE BIG The ripper of kippers. Scottish herring, heartily smoked for T a powerful Kintyre flavor. THE RIPPER OF KIPPERS, The ‘ripper of all kippers’, it’s conventionally called, SCOTTISH HERRING, HEARTILY SMOKED FOR A POWERFUL KINTYRE FLAVOUR The walrus and the carpenter, they were far from appalled, Smoked to perfection in the blazing kilns of The Kintyre Smokehouse ‘What’s all this fuss about?’, said the walrus merrily K R ‘This ain’t no little oyster’, said the carpenter with glee. IPP E The walrus smiled and answered ‘No, it’s really quite the herring!’ The carpenter exclaimed ‘On the contrary my friend…it’s the perfect food for sharing!’ Direct from the Mull of Kintyre – The Big Kipper is produced with pride in our Campbeltown smokehouse. Why not relax, loosen your belt buckles, and indulge in some of the finest smoked seafood known to man. Perfect with a dram, glass of wine or a nice little craft beer. Check out our website, www.kintyresmokehouse.com for some inspirational suggestions on food and drink pairings. BACKGROUND TO THE BRAND & COMPANY The Kintyre Smokehouse was born from one man’s absolute passion for producing fine smoked Scottish seafood and cheese. Founder, Archie Macmillan of Macmillan Foods, magically turned what was once an old dilapidated kipper house, into something really quite extraordinary. Archie’s uncanny flair for dreaming up beautiful unique recipes and turning them into wonderful creations could be mistaken by many as some form of gastronomic alchemy. Married with his high degree of technical and engineering expertise, the quality and succulent taste of the product range are a clear result of Archie’s 50 plus years of experience and absolute dedication to the Scottish seafood industry.

  • Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions
    Records of species and subspecies recorded in Scotland on up to 20 occasions In 1993 SOC Council delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List (list of all species and subspecies of wild birds recorded in Scotland). In turn, SBRC appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function. Current members are Dave Clugston, Ron Forrester, Angus Hogg, Bob McGowan Chris McInerny and Roger Riddington. In 1996, Peter Gordon and David Clugston, on behalf of SBRC, produced a list of records of species recorded in Scotland on up to 5 occasions (Gordon & Clugston 1996). Subsequently, SBRC decided to expand this list to include all acceptable records of species recorded on up to 20 occasions, and to incorporate subspecies with a similar number of records (Andrews & Naylor 2002). The last occasion that a complete list of records appeared in print was in The Birds of Scotland, which included all records up until 2004 (Forrester et al. 2007). During the period from 2002 until 2013, amendments and updates to the list of records appeared regularly as part of SBRC’s Scottish List Subcommittee’s reports in Scottish Birds. Since 2014 these records have appear on the SOC’s website, a significant advantage being that the entire list of all records for such species can be viewed together (Forrester 2014). The Scottish List Subcommittee are now updating the list annually. The current update includes records from the British Birds Rarities Committee’s Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 2015 (Hudson 2016) and SBRC’s Report on rare birds in Scotland, 2015 (McGowan & McInerny 2017).

  • The Clan Macneil
    THE CLAN MACNEIL CLANN NIALL OF SCOTLAND By THE MACNEIL OF BARRA Chief of the Clan Fellow of the Society of .Antiquarie1 of Scotland With an Introduction by THE DUKE OF ARGYLL Chief of Clan Campbell New York THE CALEDONIAN PUBLISHING COMPANY MCMXXIII Copyright, 1923, by THE CALEDONIAN PUBLISHING COMPANY Entered at Stationers~ Hall, London, England .All rights reser:ved Printed by The Chauncey Holt Compan}'. New York, U. 5. A. From Painting by Dr. E, F. Coriu, Paris K.1s11\1 UL CASTLE} IsLE OF BAH HA PREFACE AVING a Highlander's pride of race, it was perhaps natural that I should have been deeply H interested, as a lad, in the stirring tales and quaint legends of our ancient Clan. With maturity came the desire for dependable records of its history, and I was disappointed at finding only incomplete accounts, here and there in published works, which were at the same time often contradictory. My succession to the Chiefship, besides bringing greetings from clansmen in many lands, also brought forth their expressions of the opinion that a complete history would be most desirable, coupled with the sug­ gestion that, as I had considerable data on hand, I com­ pile it. I felt some diffidence in undertaking to write about my own family, but, believing that under these conditions it would serve a worthy purpose, I commenced this work which was interrupted by the chaos of the Great War and by my own military service. In all cases where the original sources of information exist I have consulted them, so that I believe the book is quite accurate.

  • THE TRINITY HOUSE LUNDY ARCHIVE: a PAPER in MEMORY of the LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS of LUNDY by R.W.E
    Rep. Lundy Field SOc. 44 THE TRINITY HOUSE LUNDY ARCHIVE: A PAPER IN MEMORY OF THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS OF LUNDY By R.W.E. Farrah 4, Railway Cottages, Long Marton, Appleby, Cumbria CAI6 6BY INTRODUCTION The approaches to the Bristol Channel along the northern coast of Cornwall and Devon offer very little shelter for the seafarer during severe weather conditions. Lundy, however, situated at the mouth of the Channel central to the busy sea lanes, is one exception and has provided an important refuge on the leeward side of the island throughout the historic period. Before the navigational aids of the lighthouses were built, the island must also have proved hostile to the mariner, especially during hours of darkness and poor visibility. The number of shipwrecks and marine disasters around the island bear testimony to this. The dangers were considerable; although the tidal streams to the west of Lundy are moderate, they are strong around the island. There are several bad races, to the north-east (The White Horses), the north-west (T)1e Hen and Chickens) and to the south-east. There are also overfalls over the north-west bank. Some appreciation of the dangers the island posed can be seen from the statistics issued by a Royal Commission of 1859 who were reporting on a harbour refuge scheme. They noted that: "out of 173 wrecks in the Bristol Channel in 1856-57, 97 received their damage and 44 lives were lost east of Lundy; while 76 vessels were lost or damaged and 58 lives sacrificed west of Lundy, thus showing the island to be nearly in the centre of the dangerous parts" (quoted in Langham A and M, 1984,92).

HISTORY OF THE MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL FROM ITS INCEPTION TO ITS COMPLETION WITH PERSONAL REMINISCENCES BY SIR BOSDIN LEECH NUMEROUS PLANS, PORTRAITS AND ILLUSTRATIONS IN TWO VOLUMES VOL I. 1*1 a s MANCHESTER AND LONDON: SHERRATT & HUGHES 1907 THE ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY PRESS LIMITED THESE VOLUMES ARE DEDICATED TO THE LORD MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF MANCHESTER IN COMMEMORATION OF THE PUBLIC SPIRIT DISPLAYED BY THAT CITY IN COMING TO THE ASSISTANCE OF THE MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL AT A CRITICAL STATE OF ITS AFFAIRS, AND IN THE HOPE THAT THEIR EXAMPLE MAY STIMULATE FUTURE GENERATIONS TO SIMILAR LOCAL PATRIOTISM PREFACE. early struggles and ultimate triumph of the Manchester Ship Canal consti- THEtute a subject of absorbing interest. In the history of Manchester, and indeed of South Lancashire as a whole, no other event or enterprise can compare with it in its far-reaching effects. The story, too, in many respects contains all the elements of a romance. It is the relation of a desperate and almost hopeless fight against opposi- tion of the most powerful and uncompromising character, and it is meet that the names and qualities of the men engaged in the strife, and the nature of the difficulties which they encountered and overcame, should find a permanent record. To rescue both individuals and incidents from oblivion, and to give a connected narrative of the course of events from the conception to the completion of the canal, is the object of the present work.
