I have lived and worked in Shetland all my life and with Shetland wool for 52 years. During this time I have judged, graded, sorted, worn, promoted, researched and been inspired by Shetland wool in my work at Jamieson and Smith, also known as ‘The Shetland Woolbrokers’. Part of my role as patron was to design the annual SWW hat pattern.

  • 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).

  • Woven Yarn Bracelet Instructions
    Woven Yarn Bracelets 1. Start by laying out your materials (the first 4 items are included in your kit from the Bailey Library): 3 Straws 3 Pieces of yarn, each cut three times as long as your straws A ball of yarn, or 1 very long piece 1 pipe cleaner Masking Tape Scissors 2. Begin by taping the straws together at one end, so they lay flat. 3. Next, thread each of the three short pieces of yarn through the straws (1 each). To make this easier, hook one end of the yarn with the pipe cleaner and draw the pipe cleaner through the straw. If you don’t have a pipe cleaner, try pushing the yarn through with a knitting needle or a thin wooden skewer. 4. At the taped end of the straws, pull enough yarn through that you can make a knot and still leave a 2”-3” tail. 5. Tape the straws to your table using masking tape. 6. Next, using the end from a ball of yarn or the very long piece of yarn in your kit, make a double knot on the left straw. 7. Start weaving! Take your yarn under the middle straw, then over and around the last straw. Repeat back and forth. Every 3-4 passes, push your yarn up to the top so that your stitches stay uniform and don’t get too loose. Do this until the bracelet is as long as you’d like it. 8. When your bracelet is as long as you want it, tie a SINGLE knot around the last straw you were weaving on.
