Their regicide was undertaken by their successors with a sacred spear at cult-sites at eight-year intervals when Venus set at its evening extreme at Samhain. Titled after the cuckoo, the symbol of male fertility across Europe, they mimicked the cuckoo’s polygynous behaviour. Others have suggested their exploits were based on myths about the cuckoo. They are recalled in Irish legends, Arthurian tales and the writings of contemporary authors, depicted on stones and confirmed in recent place-name and archaeoastronomy studies, but not previously recognised. This paper explores the evidence for, and significance of, British, Irish and continental European warrior-champions named after the cuckoo. The study strongly suggests a continuity of cosmological beliefs, celestial associations, myths and legends, religious symbolism, sacred kingship and governance of tribal societies from the Indo-European immigrants to Britain until the adoption of Christianity and its associated form of kingship by the Picts.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44144492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The finance sector has called for decision-grade, asset level data about nature projects in order to facilitate their reporting to investors. This paper offers a case study of novel digital data collection methods used to establish a baseline of faunal biodiversity in a Scottish nature-restoration project on the Bunloit estate which has secured private natural capital investment. Digital camera traps, acoustic sensors with eDNA samples and apps were used to create digital maps to ensure annual survey replication, and citizen scientist engagement. The results were classified by both professional ecologists and citizen scientists. We discuss how the digital data gathered through traps, apps and maps in the case study can be qualified as decision-grade data, according to the Taskforce for Nature-based Financial Disclosure’s specification. We conclude that decision-grade biodiversity data may be produced by practitioners, with limited resources, and make recommendations for data collection and governance methods to ensure nature restoration projects generate decision-grade data for ecosystem services markets.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44898301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interview is a frequently used medium in postcolonial studies, but one that is much underused in geography, which is maybe strange given critical human geography’s core commitment to appraising context and dialogue, and its attentiveness to agency, voice and exclusion, and promotion of new forms of cultural production and knowledge exchange. Dan drafted a set of questions for Tariq to respond to in writing, and this written dialogue was then used as a springboard for an hour-long recorded conversation over Microsoft Teams. These two forms and stages of interview generate a suite of reflections, ideas, and provocations about the postcolonial (and the decolonial and anti-colonial too). The work of unsettling the lingering effects of colonialism in the present – scratching the surface of the taken as given – and how it fosters critique, points to new forms of cultural production, and how the work of unsettling is braided around our own personal and political lives, emerged as a central postcolonial thread through the course of this conversation.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48105468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ukrainian-born with Russian as his first language, and now living and working in the UK, Vitaliev is being deeply affected – intellectually and emotionally, professionally and personally – by the horrors of the current situation. Over the course of the interview transcribed here, he covers aspects of his biography, in Ukraine and elsewhere, as well as reflecting on the geographical sensibility that shapes his writing and then elaborating, in various ways, his interpretation of what is unfolding presently in Ukraine. Fiercely critical of the forms of ‘Russian fascism’ underlying the assault on Ukraine ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Vitaliev discusses the psychological, historical and geopolitical roots of Putin’s actions. He also describes the cementing of a newly confident and dignified Ukrainian identity as a ‘counterforce’ to Putin’s ‘force’, hastening a trajectory whereby most Ukrainians, in both western and eastern Ukraine, are now attempting to escape the hauntings of the Soviet era.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46035124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet the geographical encounter with Badiou thus far has been needlessly hampered by, and has itself reinforced, a certain pessimism about the ability of qualitatively-trained geographers to deal in any meaningful way with his mathematical arguments. Challenging this pessimism, the present paper argues that if we trust ourselves a bit more to think through, with, and against mathematical concepts, we can in fact learn a great deal from Badiou. To illustrate this claim, the paper draws upon mathematical dimensions of Badiou’s arguments – as well as some ideas from Gestalt theory – to highlight failures both of his ontological and of his phenomenological projects. In light of the latter failure, however, Badiou’s mathematical concepts suggest the possibility of an analysis of qualitative geographical phenomena that both retains a place for subjectivity and leaves space for the recognition of ‘proto-quantitative relations’. The paper closes by suggesting how Badiou’s abstract mathematical concept of the ‘transcendental’ can help to understand the manipulative production of space in twenty-first century capitalism.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44337494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This combines manual vectorisation with automatic classification and surface boulder identification, using spectral signatures to reveal patterns and distribution. Tors were classified using a three-fold scheme: T0 - summits with no tors; T1 - summits with castellated and high relief tors; T2 - summits with subdued or low relief tors. Clitter (blockfield and blockstream) features identified by automated mapping include boulder lobes and stripes and boulder-fronted lobes and terraces, arranged according to distance downslope from parent tors. This zonation of periglacial landforms is proposed as a landsystem signature for areas exposed to periglacial and permafrost processes for significant time during the Quaternary. It represents a process-form regime in which cold climate processes, acting on partially deeply weathered and pneumatolysised granite, produce castellated tors, cryoplanation benches and autochthonous blockfield (clitter), and permafrost creep develops boulder lobes that elongate and evolve downslope as allochthonous blockslopes with boulder stripes and boulder-fronted lobes and terraces. This demonstrates that automated mapping can be applied to areas of upland periglacial landforms to rapidly and systematically compile quantifiable patterns of landform assemblages.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43454530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The claim is that School Geography has remained, to some degree, stuck with outdated notions of the discipline, resulting in detrimental effects on those making the transition from School Geography to University Geography. This paper investigates whether these issues are present in Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) Geography. Drawing upon curriculum materials, a survey of Geography school teachers, university staff and a handful of follow-up interviews, CfE was evaluated with respect to policy and implementation, course content, pedagogy, and the relationship between Scottish Geography’s secondary and tertiary educational sectors. Findings pertained to concerns around non-specialist teaching, and about how transition is impacted by socio-economic inequality between state and independent schools. Significant criticisms were voiced over outdated topics, resulting in declining pupil interest, while issues were identified regarding certain pedagogies and problematic stereotyping of places. A distinct deficit of communication between educational sectors became clear, and it is concluded that there are significant problems with CfE Geography symptomatic of a wider disconnect with University Geography, presenting a serious barrier to transition into Higher Education Geography.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47142381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Focused on stories that plausibly recall movements of the land-sea interface in Scotland in postglacial times, this paper summarises details of 11 stories that refer to submergence and 7 stories that refer to emergence. Most submergence stories are confined to the Outer Hebrides and include those recalling when it was possible to walk between places that are now islands. Emergence stories come from around the Scottish coast and include some from the Inner Hebrides. The agreement in direction of movement (submergence or emergence) with models of postglacial landscape change is almost perfect. By comparing submergence/emergence magnitudes to histories of relative sea-level change from glacial-isostatic adjustment models, it is possible to estimate ages for all the submergence stories to at least 2107-8695 years BP and all the emergence stories to 674-7120 years BP. Land-uplift rates calculated from emergence stories agree with those from palaeo-shoreline analysis. As is becoming increasingly clear for other places to which ancient culturally-grounded stories about environmental change refer, these Scottish stories likely represent residues of millennia-old observations of coastal change. This study should encourage further investigations of ancient Scottish narratives.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42546339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
