24 SEP – 2 OcT 2016 www.shetlandwoolweek.com /shetlandwoolweek @ShetlandWoolWk /shetlandwoolweek WELCOME TO SHETLAND WOOL WEEK 2016 ince its birth seven years ago, PARTNERS AND SPONSORS S Shetland Wool Week has grown into an internationally acclaimed festival celebrating Shetland’s fantastic textile heritage. We are proud of our sheep, our textile industry and our pristine environment. Everyone behind Shetland Wool Week makes a real effort to celebrate all aspects of wool and textiles in Shetland – from the farm to the brokers, from the mill to yarn and cloth and beyond to design and creation; history, heritage, culture and education are all crucial too. This year there will be an extensive range of exhibitions, classes, workshops and lectures, covering many different subjects including weaving, spinning, dyeing, Fair Isle and lace knitting as well as lots of other fascinating subjects. Events will take place from Fair Isle right up to Shetland’s most northerly island of Unst, famous for its beautiful lacework, with many locations in between. The Shetland Wool Week committee and organisers bid a very warm welcome to everyone attending Shetland Wool Week 2016. For more detailed descriptions of events visit www.shetlandwoolweek.com Cover image: Alexander Mazurov 2 | SHETLAND WOOL WEEK 2016 A NOTE FROM THE SHETLAND WOOL WEEK 2016 PATRON PARTNERS AND SPONSORS was very proud and excited to be asked I to be Shetland Wool Week patron for 2016. I am extremely passionate about Shetland’s textile culture and heritage. I actually got my job at Jamieson and Smith by helping out at the second Shetland Wool Week, so I have seen the festival grow from strength to strength every year. I have met so many people from all over the world every year at Wool Week and I’m really looking forward to this year’s event, although it will be a very busy time for me! I think it is so important for Shetland’s next generation to embrace the culture we are extremely lucky to be born into, and I am continually inspired by textiles new and old being made here. I have been collecting vintage Shetland knitwear for a number of years now and I love to take inspiration from the pieces I buy from charity shops and online. My Crofthoose hat design features a motif I am known for using. I hope it inspires you to knit it, but also think about our heritage, and how we can keep Shetland’s Ella Gordon skills alive, while updating them for our modern lives. www.ellagordon.wordpress.com Through my blog and online it is so easy to connect with people from all over, and it makes me so happy to know how many people would love to come here and experience Shetland Wool Week. I hope to make Shetlanders proud of our heritage, and share with whoever I can how much I love Shetland wool and Shetland knitting.

  • 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

    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).

At the start of the 9th row it is joined to knit in the round. • Colours for blank and filled chart squares are given at the sides. • Cast off can be fairly tight so that band narrows at the top. SIZING 3.5” (9cm) finished depth. Headband width will easily stretch by approximately 4cm. This, plus the short section of ribbing gives a snug fit.
