Soyea Island

Soyea Island or Soyea is an uninhabited rocky island at the mouth of Loch Inver, in Assynt, Sutherland, in the council area of Highland, Scotland. It is three nautical miles (six kilometres) west of Lochinver and two nautical miles (four kilometres) south-southwest of Achmelvich. The Broad Rocks extend up to 400 yards (370 metres) from the eastern edge of Soyea Island. Measuring approximately 1⁄2 mile (800 metres) from east to west, its area is 20 hectares (50 acres) and it rises to an elevation of 38 metres (125 ft). Soyea marks the entrance of the fishing harbour of Lochinver. Soyea Island has a yellow pedestal light on it. History The name "Soyea" is Old Norse and means "Sheep-isle" or "Sea island". In 1881 it was recorded as a pastoral islet. In the 1920s, Soyea had a colony of Abraxas grossulariata (magpie moths) which were rare on the mainland.

Loch Spynie

Loch Spynie is a small loch located between the towns of Elgin and Lossiemouth in Moray, Scotland. Close to Spynie Palace, the ancient home of the bishops of Moray, it is an important wildlife habitat which is protected as a Ramsar Site. History Loch Spynie is a remnant of a great wetland that stretched from the western shore of the current loch to the mouth of the River Lossie and, at that time, many of the settlements along the Moray coast were actually islands in the Moray Firth. The connections this area had to the sea silted up over the centuries but the loch was still navigable to the sea in the middle ages. In the mid-19th century the Spynie Canal was constructed by Thomas Telford to drain the loch for farmland. Artificial shores were built on the western and northern sides of the loch which were kept for wildfowling and fishing. Wildfowling has stopped altogether since 1981 and the amount of angling has been negligible since that year too. In 1679 Janet Grant was convicted of stealing linen from a weaver in Gordonstoun, and taking and breaking open his money chest. She was sentenced to be drowned in Loch Spynie by the Barony Court of Gordonstoun. Natural history Loch Spynie is a naturally eutrophic loch with extensive reed beds surrounding the open water. It is one of the few Scottish localities for alder swamp woodland, and has an unusual aquatic community including the nationally scarce slenderleaf pondweed. Loch Spynie regularly supports internationally important numbers of roosting greylag geese, with up to 5% of the Iceland population over-wintering at the site. Breeding birds here include grey heron, common tern, black-headed gull, water rail and little grebe, the gulls and terns nesting on artificial rafts. Osprey fish here in the spring and summer when marsh harriers may also be seen. In addition to the greylags, whooper swan, wigeon, teal, goldeneye and tufted duck arrive in the autumn some wintering. Other wildlife includes red squirrel, otter, common frog and common toad. As well as being recognised as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention, Loch Spynie has been designated a Special Protection Area and Site of Special Scientific Interest. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has provided a bird hide and feeders which can be reached from the car park. The RSPB manage the loch and its environs as a nature reserve.

Soa, Tiree

Soa (Scottish Gaelic: Sòthaigh) is an uninhabited tidal island off the coast of Tiree, to the south of the settlement of Ruaig. At low tide it is joined to mainland Tiree by a sand tombolo and numerous rocky outcrops. The largest of the rock platforms, Carsamull is itself a little island at high tide. Soa is not populated and probably never was on a permanent basis, but a former building has been identified on the south-eastern limb (Eilean an Triogh) There is also a track which runs along the northern coast of Soa. Statistics: (Areas calculated based MHWS contour using Magic.defra) Soa - Area 24.9 hectares (62 acres) - High point c.12m (40') Carsamull - Area 2.1 hectares (5.2 acres) (only rises to a few metres/feet) At low tide the area of rocky land separated from the mainland by sand and incorporating Soa, Carsamull and other rocky outcrops more than doubles to c. 58 hectares (140 acres) History The name "Soa" is Old Norse and means "sheep island".

Loch Meiklie

Loch Meiklie is a freshwater loch in Inverness-shire, Scotland, 6.4 kilometres (4.0 mi) west of Drumnadrochit. The loch is situated on the River Enrick, which ~9.5km downstream flows into Loch Ness. The loch's name may derive from the Scots meikle, meaning "large" or "great". However, as most toponyms in the area are derived from Scottish Gaelic, this seems unlikely. An alternative explanation links the loch's name to Loch Meig in Easter Ross, suggesting a corruption of the Old Gaelic root minc, meaning "pouring forth". The entry for the Parish of Urquhart in the Old Statistical Account, written in 1798, describes the loch as "a beautiful sheet of water", surrounded by "finely cultivated fields" and "neat gentlemens houses", forming "a very picturesque and romantic landscape". Several holiday lodges sit on the loch's south-east shore. An Episcopalian chapel dedicated to St Ninian has sat on the loch's north shore since the 1850s. The church was designed by Alexander Ross, and consecrated in 1853 by Bishop Robert Eden. The church contains many Celtic designs and Scottish Gaelic inscriptions. In 1876, author William McKay claimed to have visited a crannog on the loch, accessible via a winding causeway. However, when Odo Blundell (a Benedictine monk and historian) visited in 1913 he found no such island. Moreover, from conversations with locals who had fished the waters for over fifty years, none could recall "anything unusual in the waters" References

Loch More

Loch More (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Mòr, lit. 'great loch') is a 4 miles (6.4 km) long freshwater loch in Sutherland, Scotland, about 10 miles (16 kilometres) east of Scourie. It is part of a series of inter-connecting lochs and rivers that empty into Loch Laxford (Loch Lusart), which is a sea loch, the "ford" in the name meaning a firth not a ford This drainage area, named the Laxford basin, lies in the southern part of the civil parish of Eddrachillis (community council Scourie). The loch has a north-west to south-east orientation and is about 127 ft (39 m) above sea level. At the south-east end, it is close to the watershed between the west and east coast of Scotland, being about 2 miles from Loch Merkland (Loch na Mairge) which drains into the Loch Shin (Loch Sin) basin and thence into the Moray Firth. At the north-west end, there is a connecting loch, named Loch nan Ealachan (Loch of the Swans) or (prior to c.1910) Loch na h-Ealaidh (Swan Loch). The width of Loch More is remarkably uniform, just under half a mile. Its surface area is 940 acres (1.47 mi2; 3.8 km2) and its catchment area is about 12 mi2 (31 km2), just over a quarter of the Laxford basin drainage area, which is about 44 sq mi (110 km2). The average depth is about 126 ft (38 m) reaching a maximum of about 316 ft (96 m) in the centre and the volume of water has been estimated at five billion cu ft (0.034 cu mi; 140,000,000 m3). Loch nan Ealachan is a shallow basin up to 8 ft (2.4 m) deep joined to the main loch by a strait about 1 foot (0.30 m) deep, called Ùidh Dhubh (black ford). This is traversed by a path with stepping stones. The volume of water has been estimated at thirteen million cu ft (370,000 m3). The outflow from Loch More (together with Loch nan Ealachan) is carried by the small river An Earachd, from the north end of Loch nan Ealachan into Loch Stack (Loch Stac), which is about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Loch More. Ben Stack (2,364 ft (721 m)), which rises steeply from the south side of Loch Stack, extends with a lesser incline as far as the hamlet of Achfary ( 154 ft (47 m)), by the shore of Loch nan Ealachan. The outflow from Loch Stack is the River Laxford, which reaches the sea at Loch Laxford. There is no village adjacent to the loch apart from the hamlet of Achfary, alongside Loch nan Ealachan.

Loch More, Caithness

Loch More (great Loch in Gaelic) is a freshwater loch in Caithness, Scotland, about 14 miles (23 kilometres) south of Thurso. It is a shallow flat-bottomed basin, in common with most of the nearby lochs. The overflow from the loch is taken by the River Thurso, which, after a windy course of 26 miles (42 kilometres), flows into the Pentland Firth at the town of Thurso. The main inflow comes from the Sleach Water and the upper part of the River Thurso (also known here as Strathmore water). The latter is formed by a union of Rumsdale Water (source Rumsdale Loch) and Glut Water, whose source to the south-west is at a height of around 1,400 ft (430 m), about 14 miles (23 kilometres) upstream from Loch More. The loch was originally an irregular round shape, less than a mile across, with a surface area of about 177 acres (0.3 square miles; 0.7 square kilometres). The average depth was only 7 ft (2.1 m) reaching a maximum of about 15 ft (4.6 m). However, in 1907-1908 a dam was built at the outflow into the River Thurso, which raised the level of the loch by 12 ft (3.7 m). Its purpose was to control the amount of water in the downstream River Thurso, thus improving the quality of salmon fishing. As a result, the area of the loch increased to 511 acres (0.8 square miles; 2.1 square kilometres), with a depth up to a maximum of 27 ft (8.2 m), depending on the amount of water discharged. The length of the loch is now 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometres). The area draining into Loch More is about 67.5 square miles (175 square kilometres), an area 240 times greater than the original size of the loch, an unusually large catchment area for such a small body of water. The loch is about 393 ft (120 m) above sea level. References
