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.

MACCULLOCH EDINBURGH AND LONDON OLIPHANT ANDERSON & FERRIER 1905 Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome, I would see them before I die ! But I'd rather not see any one of the three, 'Plan be exiled for ever from Skye ! " Lovest thou mountains great, Peaks to the clouds that soar, Corrie and fell where eagles dwell, And cataracts dash evermore? Lovest thou green grassy glades. By the sunshine sweetly kist, Murmuring waves, and echoing caves? Then go to the Isle of Mist." Sheriff Nicolson. DA 15 To MACLEOD OF MACLEOD, C.M.G. Dear MacLeod, It is fitting that I should dedicate this book to you. You have been interested in its making and in its publica- tion, and how fiattering that is to an author s vanity / And what chief is there who is so beloved of his clansmen all over the world as you, or whose fiame is such a household word in dear old Skye as is yours ? A book about Skye should recognise these things, and so I inscribe your name on this page. Your Sincere Friend, THE A UTHOR. 8G54S7 EXILED FROM SKYE. The sun shines on the ocean, And the heavens are bhie and high, But the clouds hang- grey and lowering O'er the misty Isle of Skye.

  • 2003 Bumbling in Scotland Outer Hebrides and Skye Gillie and Robin
    Bumbling in Scotland Outer Hebrides and Skye by Gillie and Robin Whittle 22nd May - 13th June 2003 ________________ “Bumble Chugger” and our four wheel trailer needed a good check over before braving the currently gale lashed West Coast of Scotland. Inevitably the wheel bearings, brakes and brake cables needed attention. A very messy operation but we have found it to be quite essential. The first year the garage did it, but we decided the expense was too much for us, so after finding a trailer centre that could provide all the parts we have carried out the work ourselves since then. The weather forecasts were distinctly bad for the few weeks leading up to the trip. Just in case we were to get good weather we embarked on a course of Marmite, which one of the magazines had said will keep the mosquitoes at bay. 1 Our 9 o’clock start on Thursday morning (22 May) was a bit optimistic, and it was another three quarters of an hour before we were finally packed up and the door locked. A quick ‘goodbye’ to Mr and Mrs Robin, who were hovering around the back door as usual, and we were off. We felt we knew the road to Oxford quite well, having been along it the two previous weekends. On the high ground before dropping down to the Oxford valley, we saw five or six large red kites circling and wheeling. We had seen them on our previous trips and had been surprised to learn from our bird book that their whereabouts was recorded.

  • Highland Council Transport Programme Consultation Feedback Report
    Highland Council Transport Programme Consultation Feedback Report Contents Page number Introduction 3 Inverness and Nairn 8 Easter Ross and Black Isle 31 Badenoch and Strathspey 51 Eilean a’ Cheo 64 Wester Ross and Lochalsh 81 Lochaber 94 Caithness 109 Section 1 Introduction Introduction The Council currently spends £15.003m on providing mainstream home to school, public and dial a bus transport across Highland. At a time of reducing budgets, the Council has agreed a target to reduce the budget spent on the provision of transport by 15%. The Transport Programme aims to consider the needs of communities across Highland in the preparation for re-tendering the current services offered. It is important to understand the needs and views of communities to ensure that the services provided in the future best meet the needs of communities within the budget available. The public engagement for the transport programme commenced Monday 26th October 2015 and over a 14-week period sought to obtain feedback from groups, individuals and transport providers. This consultation included local Member engagement, a series of 15 public meetings and a survey (paper and online). The feedback from this consultation will contribute to the process of developing a range of services/routes. The consultation survey document asked questions on: • How suitable the current bus services are – what works, what should change and the gaps • Is there anything that prevents or discourages the use of bus services • What type of bus service will be important in the future • What opportunities are there for saving by altering the current network Fifteen public meetings where held throughout Highland.

This is in addition to about the same number, dealing with the traditions^ superstitions, general history, and social condition of the Highlands, and mostly prepared after business hours in the course of an active private and public life, including my editorial labours in connection with the Celtic Maga- zine and the Scottish Highlander. This is far more than has ever been written by any author born north of the Grampians and whatever may be said ; about the quality of these productions, two agreeable facts may be stated regarding them.
