RewriteBase / ", The Rhinns complex, named after the Islay peninsula which hosts its largest outcrop, is predominantly. Wavegen reports, "The performance has been optimised for annual average wave intensities of between 15 and 25kW/m. [55][56] Mesolithic finds have been dated to 7000 BC using radiocarbon dating of shells and debris from kitchen middens. In 1614 the crown handed Islay to Sir John Campbell of Cawdor, in return for an undertaking to pacify it;[100][101] this the Campbells eventually achieved. Add the following snippet of code to the top of your .htaccess file: # BEGIN WordPress In addition the incident wave energy has been monitored for a limited period using seabed pressure transducers, the wave loads on the front and back walls have been monitored and the water column movements have been measured using both pressure and ultra-sonic transducers. Dl Riata and the Cruthin", "Isle of Islay: Cliffs Prove Deadly in WWI Shipwrecks", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Islay&oldid=1120553426, This page was last edited on 7 November 2022, at 16:25. 10809, Oram, Richard "The Lordship of the Isles, 13361545" in Omand (2006) pp. The flow is reversed when the internal water column motion causes rarefaction of the internal atmosphere. RewriteRule . The widely accepted view is that Dl Riata was established by Gaelic migrants from Ulster, displacing a former Brythionic culture (such as the Picts). The use of inverter drives offers other advantages. [28] The fertile and windswept southwestern arm is called The Rinns, and Ardnave Point is a conspicuous promontory on the northwest coast. When you get a 404 error be sure to check the URL that you are attempting to use in your browser.This tells the server what resource it should attempt to request. 0000004023 00000 n The contra-rotating Wells turbine does not appear to offer a sufficient improvement in either peak efficiency or bandwidth performance relative to a bi-plane configuration to justify the additional cost of duplication of the mechanical / electrical components. [20][21] In poetic language Islay is known as Banrgh Innse Gall,[8] or Banrgh nan Eilean[22] usually translated as "Queen of the Hebrides"[Note 3] and Eilean uaine le the "green isle of Islay"[19] A native of Islay is called an leach, pronounced [ilx]. Wavegen is working with Scottish and Southern Energy to determine a resolution to this issue. Cornwall and North Devon are directly exposed but the large tidal range as one moves towards the River Severn estuary creates a separate set of problems. More information on visiting the area can be found here. Redirects and rewriting URLs are two very common directives found in a .htaccess file, and many scripts such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and Magento add directives to the .htaccess so those scripts can function. [63][64] There are also various crannogs on Islay, including sites in Loch Ardnave, Loch Ballygrant and Loch Allallaidh in the south east where a stone causeway leading out to two adjacent islands is visible beneath the surface of the water.[29][63]. The second phase, whereby the full output of the plant will be delivered to the grid, will commence after grid stiffening. 15657, Morris, Ronald W. B. In limpets and most gastropods, however, the evolutionary torsion which took place and allowed the gastropods to have a shell into which they could completely withdraw has caused the anus to be located near the head. [29], There are numerous small uninhabited islands around the coasts, the largest of which are Eilean Mhic Coinnich and Orsay off the Rinns, Nave Island on the northwest coast, Am Fraoch Eilean in the Sound of Islay, and Texa off the south coast. LIMPET continues its grid connected operation on the island of Islay where it has become a major tourist attraction both enhancing the local economy and serving to demonstrate to the public at large the potential of wave energy generation and the role of the EU in supporting the development of renewable energy technologies. [36] South of Rubh' a' Mhail there are outcrops of quartzite, and a strip of mica schist and limestone cuts across the centre of the island from The Oa to Port Askaig. The work completed has formed a vital step in the development of wave power technology and will result in the development of the next generation of oscillating water column systems as well as other types of device. In 627 the son of a king of the Irish U Chelbad, a branch of the Dl nAraidi kingdom of Ulster (not to be confused with Dl Riata), was killed on Islay at the unidentified location of Ard-Corann by a warrior in an army led by King Connad Cerr of the Corcu Rti (the collective term for the Cenl nGabrin and Cenl Comgaill, before they split), based at Dunadd. In 1266, his more peaceable successor ceded his nominal authority over Sureyjar to the Scottish king (Alexander III) by the Treaty of Perth, in return for a very large sum of money. [45] However, wind speeds average 19 to 28 kilometres per hour (10 to 15 knots) annually[46] and winter gales sweep in off the Atlantic, gusting up to 185km/h (115mph). ISESCO This variation in water level alternately compresses and decompresses trapped air above, which causes air to flow backwards and forwards through a pair of contra-rotating turbines. With this in mind, its no wonder that wave power is not more widespread. During this period a wealth 162 0 obj << /Linearized 1 /O 165 /H [ 958 826 ] /L 1130362 /E 67654 /N 40 /T 1127003 >> endobj xref 162 17 0000000016 00000 n By the sixth century AD Islay, along with much of the nearby mainland and adjacent islands lay within the Gaelic kingdom of Dl Riata with strong links to Ireland. Wave Dragon is a floating slack-moored energy converter of the overtopping type, developed by the Danish company Wave Dragon Aps. There are also up to 12,000 Greenland white-fronted geese, and smaller numbers of brent, pinkfooted and Canada geese are often found amongst these flocks. The problem is such that while the Limpet 500 project has been awarded a Scottish Renewables Order (a government initiative to promote economically attractive renewable power) to supply 500kW of power into the grid, the project has had to be phased in two stages. . 0000035436 00000 n [71][72], Godred also became King of Dublin at an unknown date, although in 1094 he was driven out of the city by Muircheartach Ua Briain, later known as High King of Ireland, according to the Annals of the Four Masters. The later medieval period marked a "cultural high point" with the transfer of the Hebrides to the Kingdom of Scotland and the emergence of the Clan Donald Lordship of the Isles, originally centred at Finlaggan. [113] Roads were built, the Crinan canal shortened the sea distance to Glasgow and the numerous traditional ferry crossings were augmented by new quays. Otranto lost steering and drifted towards the west coast of the Rinns. Islay LIMPET (Land Installed Marine Power Energy Transmitter) was developed and operated by Wavegen in cooperation with Queen's University Belfast. A Islay LIMPET (acrnimo de Land Installed Marine Power Energy Transmitter) foi a primeira central comercial de produo de electricidade a partir da energia das ondas a entrar em servio comercial. Lord Robertson of Port Ellen", 20.500.11820/762e78fe-2a9c-43cf-8173-8300892b31cb, Prlamaid na h-Alba / Parliament of Scotland, "A Description of the Western Isles of Scotland, Called Hybrides", "Ancient Kindred? Bird watchers should also be satisfied. [23][24], Port Askaig is from the Norse ask-vk, meaning "ash tree bay" and the common suffix -bus is from the Norse blstar, meaning "farm". [121] A military cemetery was created at Kilchoman where the dead from both nations in the latter disaster were buried (all but one of the American bodies were later exhumed and returned home). [1] [4] [5] The chamber of the LIMPET is an inclined concrete tube with its opening below the water level. Other waterfowl include whooper and mute swans, eider duck, Slavonian grebe, goldeneye, long-tailed duck and wigeon. This 375-square-metre (4,040sqft) Iron Age fort occupies a prominent crag and has commanding views of the surrounding landscape. )[148] Walkers and cyclists appreciate the 210 kilometres of coastline. Following on, a 500 kW unit was built in 2000 together with Scottish company Wavegen. This means that the turbine always spins the same direction regardless of the direction of airflow, allowing for energy to be continuously generated. 0000000958 00000 n Various locations have been suggested for the battle, including west of the Rinns and north of Rubh' a' Mhail. Est situada na ilha de Islay, nas Hbridas, e fornece energia rede elctrica do Reino Unido.

SeWave is a wave farm project in Npanin, Faroe Islands. The construction of the prototype and the Limpet 500 have provided significant local employment and all the signs are that further developments of wave energy technology on Islay would be welcomed. Some of this energy can be harnessed to generate electricity to power homes, transport and industries. [103][Note 11], Martin Martin recorded that Sir Hugh Campbell of Caddell was the king's steward of Islay in the late seventeenth century. The natural rock cofferdam gave less protection against the weather than had been originally anticipated. [92] In 1437, the Lordship was substantially expanded when Alexander, the Lord of the Isles, inherited the rule of Ross maternally; this included Skye. The capacity was later downgraded to 250 kW. In 2000, Japanese author Haruki Murakami visited the island to sample seven single malt whiskies on the island and later wrote a travel book called If our language were whisky. It patterns strongly with other Argyll dialects, especially those of Jura, Colonsay and Kintyre. It is one of the traditional beliefs and religious practice in the Philippines where people gather around to listen and reflect during Lent season. The project champions made a successful application for funding from the European Unions Joule programme, which resulted in the EU contributing a little over 36% of the total costs. Snow is rarely seen at sea level and frosts are light and short-lived. [185] Kilarrow Parish Church, built in 1767 by Daniel Campbell when laird of Islay, is round and such, as local folklore has it, has no corner in which the devil could hide. Following the construction of a 75 kW prototype in 1991, a 500 kW unit was built in 2000 at Claddach Farm on the Rhinns of Islay [2] on the Scottish island of Islay. The Islay LIMPET (Land Installed Marine Powered Energy Transformer) wave power generator was designed and built by Wavegen and researchers from the Queen's University of Belfast, and was financially backed by the European Union. Islay LIMPET (Land Installed Marine Power Energy Transmitter) was developed and operated by Wavegen in cooperation with Queen's University Belfast. ISLAY LIMPET PROJECT MONITORING FINAL REPORT ETSU V/06/00180/00/Rep DTI Pup URN No 02/1435 Contractor Wavegen . There are three main methods for harnessing energy from waves and converting it to electricity. [184] In 1472 Islay became part of the Archdiocese of St Andrews. Just click. However, ambition wasn't given up so easily, and John's nephew launched a severe raid on Ross, but it ultimately failed. The driest months are April to July and the warmest are May to September, which as a result are the busiest times for tourism. We have recently had the chance to go and see the WaveGen's Limpet wave power device on Islay, luckily for me the weather couldn't have been better for makin. Following the construction of a 75kW prototype in 1991, a 500kW unit was built in 2000 at Claddach Farm on the Rhinns of Islay[2] on the Scottish island of Islay. Since 1973 the Ileach has been delivering news to the people of Islay every fortnight and was named community newspaper of the year in 2007. Required fields are marked *, UNESCO Answering her SOS the destroyer HMS Mounsey attempted to come alongside and managed to rescue over 350 men. As such it is found that there is far more power in the long ocean swells than in the locally driven wind seas. Rubble piers were built at several locations on Islay and a new harbour was constructed at Port Askaig. [127], Much of Islay remains owned by a few non-resident estate owners; sheep farming and the few dairy cattle herds are run by tenant farmers. The LIMPET (Land Installed Marine Power Energy Transmitter) was developed by Queen's University Belfast with the construction of a 75 kW prototype. [3] The deformed Palaeoproterozoic igneous rock of the Rhinns complex is dominated by a coarse-grained gneiss cut by large intrusions of deformed gabbro. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f To Norway, the islands became known as Sureyjar (Old Norse, traditionally anglicised as Sodor, or Sudreys), meaning southern isles. [128], Islay has some fine wild brown trout and salmon fishing[129] and in September 2003 the European Fishing Competition was held on five of the island's numerous lochs; this was "the biggest fishing event ever to be held in Scotland". For other uses, see, Norse influence and the Kingdom of the Isles, Haswell-Smith (2004) has a table of Scottish "islands arranged in order of magnitude" that lists Islay as fifth in rank, although this excludes, Mac an Tilleir (2003) suggests that "if this is a Gaelic name it may be 'flank shaped'. Other smaller villages include Bridgend, Ballygrant, Port Charlotte, Portnahaven and Port Askaig. There are few residents within a kilometre of the site and, as the land slopes down to towards the coast, they will be unable to see it. Whisky from the northern area is milder because it is made using spring water for a "lighter flavoured, mossy (rather than peaty), with some seaweed, some nuts" characteristic. Tethys | Environmental Effects of Wind and Marine Renewable Energy V1LX@T ,/zwb$UR). On exiting the turbine, the process air is discharged to atmosphere via an expansion chamber with louvered exits (9). Distilleries in the south make whisky which is "medium-bodied saturated with peat-smoke, brine and iodine" because they use malt that is heavy with peat as well as peaty water. [196], A population of several thousand red deer inhabit the moors and hills. Initially dispossessed in the wake of royal opposition to the Lordship, Clan MacDonald of Dunnyveg's holdings in Islay were restored in 1545. [175], Associated with various Islay churches are cupstones of uncertain age; these can be seen at Kilchoman Church, where the carved cross there is erected on one, and at Kilchiaran Church on the Rhinns. Winter-visiting barnacle goose numbers have reached 35,000 in recent years with as many as 10,000 arriving in a single day. It is possible that you may need to edit the .htaccess file at some point, for various reasons.This section covers how to edit the file in cPanel, but not what may need to be changed. [29] The island has its own bus service provided by Islay Coaches and Glenegedale Airport offers flights to and from Glasgow International Airport and on a less regular basis to Oban and Colonsay.[156]. The Harbour wall effect which has been shown in model tests to be beneficial to the performance of near-shore OWC systems is not effective in the LIMPET shallow water gully where the effect of the gully is, contrary to expectation, reducing pneumatic power capture. Wavegen is working with Scottish and Southern Energy to determine a resolution to this issue. The capacity was later downgraded to 250kW.[1][3]. The rest of the island is sparsely populated and mainly agricultural. [71][73][74] A local tradition suggests that a standing stone at Carragh Bhan near Kintra marks Godred Crovan's grave. When you have a missing image on your site you may see a box on your page with with a red X where the image is missing. [1] [4] [5] The chamber of the LIMPET is an inclined concrete tube with its opening below the water level. [177] The legacy of this period includes the eighth century Kildalton Cross, Islay's "most famous treasure",[178] carved out of local epidiorite. [13] During the 17th century the power of Clan Donald waned, but improvements to agriculture and transport led to a rising population, which peaked in the mid-19th century. Nevertheless, it has been claimed that the Gaels in this part of Scotland were indigenous to the area. How Prezi has been a game changer for speaker Diana YK . [151] Still, there are no large hotels on the island yet, with tourist accommodation provided by guest houses, B&Bs, small hotels such as the Port Charlotte Hotel and the Harbour Inn at Bowmore,[149] self catering cottages and a youth hostel. Noise produced by the airflow past the turbine rotors is attenuated in an acoustic chamber prior to discharge to the atmosphere. The two fought the Battle of Epiphany in the seas off Islay in January 1156. ";s:4:"text";s:3469:"How the music industry influences our youth? The components required for renewable energy have their own finite, often short, life cycles. Somerled's grandson, Donald received Islay, along with Claig Castle, and the adjacent part of Jura as far north as Loch Tarbert. The use of inverter drives offers other advantages. However, most of the projects are still in the pilot phase, and it is fair to say that, from a pragmatic perspective, wave power is still in its infant stage when compared with wind power, solar power, and other sustainable and renewable energy sources. So, if the height of the waves is 2 meters and they have a period of 5 seconds, then the kilowatts per meter is 10. Nominal Norwegian authority had been re-established after Somerled's death, but by the mid 13th century, increased tension between Norway and Scotland led to a series of battles, culminating in the Battle of Largs, shortly after which the Norwegian king died. [1][4][5] The chamber of the LIMPET is an inclined concrete tube with its opening below the water level. On the Autumn equinox 2021, at age 50, I cleaned in front of Limpet 500, using heather from the Mull of Oa. trailer << /Size 179 /Info 160 0 R /Encrypt 164 0 R /Root 163 0 R /Prev 1126992 /ID[<8938a0f728839414b9f982f729d7688c>] >> startxref 0 %%EOF 163 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Pages 156 0 R /Metadata 161 0 R /PageLabels 154 0 R >> endobj 164 0 obj << /Filter /Standard /R 2 /O (fuF3fK8>a[NV) /U (?Ob-iO[ F>|S) /P -44 /V 1 /Length 40 >> endobj 177 0 obj << /S 889 /L 976 /Filter /FlateDecode /Length 178 0 R >> stream [49][50] Sunshine hours are typically highest around the coasts, especially to the west. This means that every kilogram of natural gas, for example, has 55 MegaJoules, which is enough energy to power your oven for a few hours. [120] A monument was erected on the coast of The Oa by the American Red Cross to commemorate the sinking of these two ships. Further south is a band of metamorphic quartzite and granites, a continuation of the beds that underlie Jura. [87] The MacDonalds had thus achieved command of a strong semi-independent maritime kingdom, and considered themselves equals of the kings of Scotland, Norway, and England.[88]. The LIMPET 500 was the first time in the world that a commercial scale wave energy device was connected to the grid! Baptists meet in Port Ellen and in Bowmore, the Scottish Episcopal Church of St. Columba is located in Bridgend and the Islay Roman Catholic congregation also uses St Columba's for its services. [176], The early pioneers of Christianity in Dl Riata were Columba of Iona and Moluag of Lismore. [60], The most spectacular prehistoric structure on the island is Dun Nosebridge. Islay was probably recorded by Ptolemy as Epidion,[16] the use of the "p" suggesting a Brittonic or Pictish tribal name. 0000001784 00000 n [141], In general, the whiskies from this island are known for "pungent peaty, smoky and oily flavours, with just a hint of salty sea air and seaweed" because of the use of peat and the maritime climate, according to one report. The Wells turbine is a low-pressure air turbine that rotates continuously in one direction independent of the direction of the air flow. Fourth, the coast is crowded. [14], The Islay dialect is distinctive. [168] In the 2001 census this had dropped to 24 per cent, which, while a low figure overall, nonetheless made it the most strongly Gaelic-speaking island in Argyll and Bute after Tiree, with the highest percentage recorded in Portnahaven (32 per cent) and the lowest in Gortontaoid (17 per cent), with the far north and south of the island being the weakest areas in general. "The Industries of Argyll: Tradition and Improvement" in Omand (2006) pp. 0000001942 00000 n Following Godred's death, the local population resisted Norway's choice of replacement, causing Magnus, the Norwegian king, to launch a military campaign to assert his authority. The south coast is sheltered from the prevailing winds and, as a result, relatively wooded. On the UK mainland there are surprisingly few places where the Atlantic swell comes into contact with the shoreline. [171] It sits within a group of lexical isoglosses (i.e. RewriteEngine On A flint arrowhead, which was found in a field near Bridgend in 1993 and dates from 10,800 BC, is amongst the earliest evidence of a human presence found so far in Scotland. For addon domains, the file must be in public_html/addondomain.com/example/Example/ and the names are case-sensitive. On account of the Corryvreckan whirlpool to the north of Jura, the Sound was the main safe sea route between the mainland and the rest of the Hebrides; Claig Castle essentially gave Somerled control of sea traffic. why was islay limpet decommissioned In section the collector comprises three 6m2 tubes with free passage between the tubes for the air at the upper end of the column prior to entry into the turbine duct. Portugal were commissioned to construct and test a 500kW shoreline wave power plant. [189], In 196768, folk-rock songwriter and singer Donovan included "Isle of Islay" in his album, A Gift from a Flower to a Garden, a song praising the pastoral beauties of the island. You may need to scroll to find it. Wavegen also sees a role for combined technology where the Limpet structures are built-in to harbour walls or coastal defences. In future a simpler turbine generator module and control system is envisaged which in combination with the reduced structural content of the chambers will result in energy prices competitive with offshore wind systems. The most significant conclusions and observations are as follows: Following on from this work new designs are being developed in combination with different construction methods and new materials. (Now decommisioned). Port Charlotte for example, was named after Lady Charlotte Campbell, daughter of 5th Duke of Argyll, and wife of the island's then owner, Col John Campbell (17701809) of Shawfield and Islay. [144] The main attractions are the scenery, history, bird watching and the world-famous whiskies. The water columns with an external width of 21m are located 17m inland from the natural shoreline in a man-made recess with a water depth of 6m at mean water level. A charter was soon sent from the Scottish King confirming this state of affairs; it declares that Skye and the Outer Hebrides are to be considered independent from the rest of the former Lordship, leaving only Islay and Jura remaining in the comital unit. The first phase, from commissioning later this year, will limit the output of the plant to 110kW, which is the maximum the unreinforced grid can accept. The joints would rise and fall with waves, thus powering a generator. [124] There was an RAF Chain Home radar station at Saligo Bay and RAF Chain Home Low station at Kilchiaran. The system known as LIMPET (Land Installed Marine Power Energy Transmitter) was installed on the Isle of Islay off the west coast of Scotland and was commissioned in November 2000. The normal supply of electricity to Islay is from the mainland via the Island of Jura. The east coast is rugged and mountainous, rising steeply from the Sound of Islay, the highest peak being Beinn Bheigier, which is a Marilyn at 1,612 feet (491 m). The upper part of the tubes are inter-connected and power conversion is via a single turbine generator unit connected to the central column. Two years later Somerled completely ousted Godred Olafsson and re-united the kingdom. When the estate owners realised they could make more money from sheep farming than from the indigenous small farmers, wholesale Clearances became commonplace. If this doesn't work, you may need to edit your .htaccess file directly. The water rushing in forced the air out of the top half, which turned a bidirectional turbine, and, when the water receded, air flowed back in, again turning the turbine. The device comprises three water columns contained within concrete tubes each measuring internally 6m by 6m and inclined at 40 to the horizontal giving a total water surface area of 169m2. The name's origin is probably a mixture of Gaelic and Old Norse: Dun in the former language means "fort" and knaus-borg in the latter means "fort on the crag". 0000000806 00000 n The British Channel 4 archaeological television programme Time Team excavated at Finlaggan, the episode being first broadcast in 1995.[193][194][195]. ", "Islay Wildlife Records Moths and Butterflies Index", "Islay Wildlife Records Flowering plants Index", "Crawfurd, John (17831868), orientalist and colonial administrator", "Grave Location For Holders of the Victoria Cross in the City Of Edinburgh", "NATO Secretary General (19992003) The Rt. Islands are ideal test beds for renewable energy and in 1991 Islay was chosen for the location of an innovative wave energy testing project at Claddach farm near Portnahaven, a site ideally exposed to the full force of Atlantic waves. [150], According to a July 2018 report, some summer days see nearly 6,000 tourists on the island and over 15,000 during the Feis Ile whisky festival in May. The company's head offices were based in Edinburgh. Initially, their power base was on the shores of Loch Finlaggan in northeastern Islay, near the present-day village of Caol Ila. While the Lordship itself did not survive, the title did; today, the heir to the British throne, who is known as the, Martin wrote of the "isle Finlagan", that it is "famous for being once the court in which the great Macdonald, King of the Isles, had his residence; his houses, chapel, etc., are now ruinous. [99][Note 10]. Nz,(YlERUw-- Marsden (2008) concludes that a location at the north end of the Sound of Islay is most likely. [184], Archibald Campbell, 5th Earl of Argyll was a strong supporter of the Reformation, but there is little evidence that his beliefs were greeted with much enthusiasm by the islanders initially. Change). The island has a long history of religious observance, and Scottish Gaelic is spoken by about a quarter of the population. 1524, Duncan, P. J. [25], Gaelic names, or their anglicised versions such as Ardnave Point, from ird an Naoimh, "height of the saint" are very common. [38][42] In comparatively recent times the island was ice-covered during the Pleistocene glaciations save for Beinn Tart a' Mhill on the Rinns, which was a nunatak on the edge of the ice sheet. That has led to some concern that the unique flavour of Islay is being negatively affected. Nine years after its decommissioning, the remaining concrete structure could be viewed as contemporary archaeology. These machines along with their air valves and their electrical control and monitoring systems should be tested in a purpose built facility in order to assure reliability of all components. This variation in water level alternately compresses and decompresses . But from completion till decommissioning, the prototype produced a wealth of valuable information and has proved an ideal test bed for developing such technology leading to a fully operational 16-turbine plant built in Spains Bay of Biscay. OWCs have shown promise as a renewable energy source with low environmental impact. Each of the two turbines is mounted on a common shaft of an induction generator (6) and flywheel (10). 0000002094 00000 n As in many parts of the world water is in greater demand than power, this may prove a larger market in the longer term. 0000004729 00000 n The output from the generators is rectified and inverted prior to the grid connection and this enables variable speed operation with the range of 700 and 1500 r.p.m. An Oscillating Water Column is where a large amount of moving water acts as a piston in a cylinder. Nous utilisons des cookies pour vous garantir la meilleure exprience sur notre site web. Wavegen was bought by German firm Voith in . Construction began in early 1999 and the unit will be completed towards the end of the year. Ellan Forlagan, in the middle of Ila, ane faire iyle in fresche water. The successful unattended operation of the plant since commissioning has demonstrated the potential of shoreline wave energy for contributing towards national energy supplies. Measurements of structural load on the plant have shown that in future designs this can be accomplished by significantly reducing the concrete and steel in the structure and by making more use of mass-produced elements and novel construction techniques. [69] Gaelic continued to exist as a spoken language in the southern Hebrides throughout the Norse period, but the place name evidence suggests it had a lowly status, possibly indicating an enslaved population.[70].
