  • The Lands of Kincaid in Relation to the Highlands of Scotland
    Peter Anthony Kincaid The lands of Kincaid in relation to the Highlands of Scotland. The physical boundary between the Lowlands and the Highlands of Scotland is the Highland boundary fault. The Highland boundary fault creates a visible change in the geology of the land. The fault comes ashore from the river Clyde near Helensburgh and continues in a north east direction towards Aberfoyle. It continues north east all the way to near Stonehaven on the coast of the North Sea.1 The islands of Inchmurrin, Creinch, Torrinch, and Inchcailloch in Loch Lomond all form visible parts of the Highland boundary Fault.2 The lands of Kincaid are at best about 15.3 English miles or about 24.6 kilometres from this fault (if one takes a direct line from the intersection of Campsie Road and Milton Road to summits north east of Conic Hill). Without doubt the lands of Kincaid are physically in Lowland Scotland. Some may argue that people may have considered a different boundary with regards to what one considered a Highlander. The evidence does not support this. It is not until the 1716 penal laws established against the Highlanders that this author could locate any official boundary. In what we refer to as the Disarming Act of 1716, the western bounds were established as "within the Shires of Dumbarton on the North-side of the Water of Leven, Stirling on the North-side of the River of Forth."3 At that time, Scots must have understood the Highlands to be north of the River Forth and north of the river Leven.

  • Expeditions Summer 1973
    SCHOOLS HEBRIDEAN SOCIETY SOUTH RONA EXPEDITIONS SUMMER 1973 COLONSAY THE SCHOOLS HEBRIDEAN SOCIETY W as Born after an expedition to the island of Rhum organised by ten undergraduates and schoolboys in 1959. Has since 1960 successfully organised more than 40 expeditions to more than 20 different sites in the Hebrides and, lately, Shetlands. Is in 1973, mounting the expeditions shown on the opposite page and providing the opportunity for boys of all ages to experience an unusual and challenging situation. Believes that the beauty and remoteness of the Hebridean setting contributes toward the value derived from expeditions by the members. Provides the opportunity for boys to learn the techniques of climbing, walking and canoeing under the instruction of specialist officers. Encourages project work, depending upon the nature of the island—the study of ornithology usually features in every expedition. Provides tents, cooking and eating utensils, boats, canoes and climbing equipment— but each expedition builds its own furniture! Ensures that safety rules arc strictly adhered to it is always possible to obtain a doctor, even on the remotest islands. Limits the size of its expeditions to between twenty and thirty boys, with a Leader, a Camp Administrator and between six and nine officers. Welcomes all boys who are prepared to regard their expedition as something more than a "holiday” and work hard for its success. Proprietor: THE SCHOOLS HEBRIDEAN COMPANY LIMITED (Registered as a charity) COLONSAY EXPEDITION GROUP L 1973 (Age 12¾-14 years) In the southern part of the Inner Hebrides, Colonsay is a small island with a remarkably varied terrain which has proved eminently suitable for previous junior expeditions.

COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary Site condition monitoring for otters (Lutra lutra) in 2011-12 Commissioned Report No. 521 Project No: 12557 and 13572 Contractor: Findlay Ecology Services Ltd. Year of publication: 2015 Keywords Otter; Lutra lutra; monitoring; Special Area of Conservation. Background 44 Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) for which otter is a qualifying interest were surveyed during 2011 and 2012 to collect evidence to inform an assessment of the condition of each SAC. 73 sites outside the protected areas network were also surveyed. The combined data were used to look for trends in the recorded otter population in Scotland since the first survey of 1977-79. Using new thresholds for levels of occupancy, and other targets agreed with SNH for the current report, the authors assessed 34 SACs as being in favourable condition, and 10 sites were assessed to be in unfavourable condition.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

  • Residential Field Trip to Raasay
    Residential field trip to Raasay Friday 27th to Monday 30th April 2018 Leader: Dr Brian Bell Friday 27th April We drove to Skye in shared cars and boarded the ferry at Sconser for the twenty-five-minute sail to Raasay. By late afternoon the group had all met up at Raasay House where we would be staying. Saturday 28th April, am. Report by Seonaid Leishman When Brian Bell was asked by Maggie Donnelly to take a GSG excursion to Raasay it was clear that long notice was required, not only to fit in with Brian’s reputation and busy schedule, but because of the popularity of the main accommodation on the Island! We therefore had 18 months to build up high expectations – all of which were all met! The original Macleod house was burned following Culloden and rebuilt in 1747. Boswell, visiting in 1773 states, “we found nothing but civility, elegance and plenty”. Not much has changed. The Raasay House Community Trust has worked hard to set up the Hotel and Outdoor Centre in this elegant building. On the Friday we joined Brian and his colleague Ian Williamson at the House and had the first of many excellent meals followed by an introductory talk in the House library provided for our Group’s use. The Island has well exposed rocks ranging in age from Archaean Lewisian Gneiss, through Torridonian sedimentary rocks, Triassic and Jurassic including Raasay Ironstone and topped by Palaeogene lavas and sills. We would see all these exposures – however not necessarily in the right order! Saturday morning before breakfast photos were urgently being taken of sun on the Red Cuillins – this weather and view wouldn’t change all weekend! The Red Cuillins from Raasay House Brian then explained that because of the sun he wanted to skip sequence and NOT start with the oldest rocks, in order to ensure a great photo that morning on the east coast at Hallaig.
