This article discusses three aspects of a practice-based research project. The first is the author's exploration of these islands and their history through sound in order to try to find elusive sonic traces of the past. The second concerns the issues and problems of finding and recording sound in the Outer Hebrides. The third is the artistic challenge of communicating something about history and memory, related to the Outer Hebrides, through the medium of composed sound using a mixture of monologues, field recordings and interviews collected during a number of trips to the islands as well as material from oral history archives.

    The Landscapes of Scotland Descriptions 1 - 10 1 Shetland and Fair Isle 2 Orkney 3 Lewis 4 North Coast 5 Caithness 6 Assynt 7 Sutherland 8 Flow Country 9 Sutherland Kyles and Coast 10 Harris 1 Shetland Description An elongated group of islands, whose character is accentuated by the north-south trend of the hills and ridges. The dramatic coastlines are highly varied, with fjords, arches, stacks, beaches and tombolos (sand bars). The seas are busy with boat and ferry traffic. The coast is where most of the settlement is located, including the distinctive capital of Lerwick with its narrow stone-flagged streets. The islands are mostly tree-less while seabirds throng the coasts and cliffs. Frequent winds sweep over landscapes with long hours of summer light and winter darkness, and a strong sense of Nordic culture. The landscape is rich in exceptionally well preserved archaeological remains. This includes a high proportion of nationally important sites, such as, at Mousa, the best preserved broch in Scotland, and extensive Norse remains in Unst Key technical information sources: Selected creative associations LCA: Shetland Isles Music St Ninian's Isle (Aly Bain); NHF – Shetland 2002 (1) Foula, Papa Stour (Boys of the Lough) HLA Naismith – Buildings of the Scottish Countryside pp 204-206 1 The Landscapes of Scotland 2 Orkney Description A group of diverse islands centred around a larger “mainland”.

Denmark, unable to absorb most of its wind output, exports over 80 per cent of it. By Denmark’s CO definition, this does not cut Danish emissions. 2 Much of it goes to Scandinavian suppliers (with six per cent losses en route) to replace genuinely clean hydro power emissions or Swedish nuclear. So it doesn’t cut emissions there either. Wind-power does almost nothing to cut emissions of Whilst Danish wind-power generators are heavily subsidised, buyers from other countries pay the going rate CO2 because its output is so unpredictable. This makes its fossil-fuel backup highly inefficient and and sometimes even charge for taking it. tends to offset the savings as it makes.
