'- ý- Holocene vegetation history at Loch Hellisdale ; South Uist. Site description Loch Hellisdale (NF828310) isýan upland loch situated in a remote glacial trough, Glen Hellisdale, on the mountainous east coast of South Uist (Figure 25). The loch represents the eastern most pollen site sampled on the South Uist transect. The loch has an inflow stream which is draining into the loch from the slopes of Beinn Mhor (620m O. D) and Cas fo Dheos (1723m O. D. ) which rises steeply from the north shore of the loch. An outflow stream flows into the lower valley. The loch was selected for analysis because of its low organic productivity, long sediment sequence (extending potentially into the Devensian Late-glacial), its relative protection from strong winds which could disturb lake sedimentation and its potential as a trap for the airfall recruitment of pollen and tephra. This relatively shallow loch is typically 1-5m deep and lies at approximately 75m O. D. in the eastern end of Glen Hellisdale, itself an isolated, short, glacially-eroded, steep sided trough-like valley which opens eastward from its head at the flanks of Beinn Mhor towards the Sea of the Minches (Figure 26). Geology and soils The solid geology of the valley is predominantly Lewisian granitic gneiss, with hornblende lenses. The impact of the Outer Hebrides thrust zone is thought to have produced the myolinites and crushed gneisses found along this eastern coast of the Outer Hebrides. (Figure 15). Drift deposits consist of a thin covering

  • A Guided Wildlife Tour to St Kilda and the Outer Hebrides (Gemini Explorer)
    A GUIDED WILDLIFE TOUR TO ST KILDA AND THE OUTER HEBRIDES (GEMINI EXPLORER) This wonderful Outer Hebridean cruise will, if the weather is kind, give us time to explore fabulous St Kilda; the remote Monach Isles; many dramatic islands of the Outer Hebrides; and the spectacular Small Isles. Our starting point is Oban, the gateway to the isles. Our sea adventure vessels will anchor in scenic, lonely islands, in tranquil bays and, throughout the trip, we see incredible wildlife - soaring sea and golden eagles, many species of sea birds, basking sharks, orca and minke whales, porpoises, dolphins and seals. Aboard St Hilda or Seahorse II you can do as little or as much as you want. Sit back and enjoy the trip as you travel through the Sounds; pass the islands and sea lochs; view the spectacular mountains and fast running tides that return. make extraordinary spiral patterns and glassy runs in the sea; marvel at the lofty headland lighthouses and castles; and, if you The sea cliffs (the highest in the UK) of the St Kilda islands rise want, become involved in working the wee cruise ships. dramatically out of the Atlantic and are the protected breeding grounds of many different sea bird species (gannets, fulmars, Our ultimate destination is Village Bay, Hirta, on the archipelago Leach's petrel, which are hunted at night by giant skuas, and of St Kilda - a UNESCO world heritage site. Hirta is the largest of puffins). These thousands of seabirds were once an important the four islands in the St Kilda group and was inhabited for source of food for the islanders.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.
