  • 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.

  • The Fisher Hugheses of Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland: Oral Tradition to Documented Genealogy
    genealogy Article A “Fishy Tale”? The Fisher Hugheses of Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland: Oral tradition to Documented Genealogy Jenny Swanson Independent scholar; [email protected]; Tel.: +44-01235-536781 Received: 8 June 2017; Accepted: 14 July 2017; Published: 24 July 2017 Abstract: The surname HUGHES (several spelling variants) was numerous amongst the fishers recorded in 19th century censuses for Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland. A twentieth-century oral tradition in at least one HUGHES branch held that the family fished in Pittenweem for “hundreds of years”. This study aimed to examine the tradition, using sound genealogical research techniques of record collection, critical assessment, comparison and analysis, and briefly sets the results in historical context. Lack of information from local vital records created some difficulties, but contextual strategies (for example collection of data for collateral relatives; analysis of baptismal records—particularly witness data—for social connections and possible occupation of baby’s parents) were used as supplements. Alternative strategies proved effective. Evidence was found for fishers in every generation of this direct male line for at least 200 years, with a possible paper-trail for nearly 300 years. A wider question arises over whether the many HUGHES fishers of Pittenweem were from one biological family. Records back to the 1720s suggest this is possible, but lack of earlier paper documentation allows alternative interpretations. Two members of the wider family have had Y-DNA testing which provided a good match—it was concluded that additional samples from descendants of particular, documented, 18th century lines might resolve this issue. Keywords: genealogy; oral traditions; inherited occupation; Scottish fishers; Hughes of Pittenweem 1.

  • This Article Investigates the Coastal Toponymy of Berwickshire, Scotland's Most South-Easterly County, Using Qualitative Metho
    LITTORALLY SPEAKING: METAPHOR AND NARRATIVES OF ‘WEATHERING’ IN BERWICKSHIRE’S COASTAL NAMES LEONIE MHARI This article investigates the coastal toponymy of Berwickshire, Scotland’s most south-easterly county, using qualitative methods and analysis in order to explore the ways in which water influences the structure and function of narratives in this coastal landscape. Berwickshire is a farming county and its coastline, historically known for fishing, has several fishing communities today. Coastal toponyms often do not have the same depth of records as inland names, which are better documented in early records such as medieval charters. However, while the origins of coastal names are often obscure due to lack of evidence, the Ordnance Survey Name Books’ (OSNB) ‘Descriptive remarks, or other General Observations which may be considered of Interest’ are a rich source of folk etymologies and narratives for this region, demonstrating that there is a strong relationship between bodies of water and the narratives which contextualise our surroundings. Moreover, many of the coastal names of Berwickshire are metaphorical,1 and narratives documented in the OSNB contribute to situating these metaphorical place-names within their landscape context. The OSNB, as many readers will know through their own use, are a rich source of place-name and landscape material, providing a snapshot of an understanding of the landscape in the nineteenth century. The ‘Descriptive remarks’ can contain any information the surveyor wished to record about the landscape feature; for coastal Berwickshire, these remarks often encapsulate folk etymologies, notes on language, and snippets of views from inhabitants of the local area. Data from the six-inch first edition Ordnance Survey (OS) map and OSNBs were collected for this article with evidence from earlier sources interspersed where relevant.
