While the arguments about independence have always been less about getting rid of the English and more about a detachment from the ‘Westminster Village’ and bringing power closer to home, west of the road that connects Inchnadamph, Stronchrubie and Knockan Crag, a different form of power begins to become apparent. ...It’s a distinctive landscape that hints at an ancient independence; before the land that now forms Britain was welded together hundreds of millions of years ago, what lies below Scotland was actually a part of the Canadian Shield – formed deep within the Earth around three billion years ago, these rocks – the Lewisian Gneisses – are exposed here on open rolling moorlands, punctuated by countless lochs, lochans and Scottish puddles with mountains like the sugar-loaf inselberg of Suilven towering above. ...What is particularly interesting is that these two landmasses are welded together miles underground along a feature known as the Iapetus Suture which runs roughly along the same track as the 300 year-old Scottish-English border. Iapetus was the father of Atlas, who gave his name to the Atlantic Ocean – the suture is all that is left of the Iapetus Ocean which once divided the proto-American continent of Laurentia with its pre-European counterpart, Avalonia. When the Atlantic opened up, bits of Laurentia were left behind in Scotland and parts of Avalonia ended up across the pond – chiefly parts of Newfoundland and, believe it or not, New England. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>The Strange Day that a Five-Acre Hole Disappeared</title><dc:creator>editor@britishlandscape.org</dc:creator><category>Strange Days</category><category>Landscapes</category><dc:date>2014-09-17T11:52:33+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.britishlandscape.org/light/page7_files/hawfinch-trilobite-wales.html#unique-entry-id-132</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.britishlandscape.org/light/page7_files/hawfinch-trilobite-wales.html#unique-entry-id-132</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The fossil, according to a guide book I had recently uncovered in a secondhand bookshop, is apparently fairly easy to find - perhaps within a quarter of an hour or so of diligent rock splitting in an abandoned quarry on the other side of the hill - a statement I accept completely without question. ...However, in order to do that, I have to find the quarry first and it seems to be peculiarly elusive for a five acre hole in a Welsh hillside. ...My asthmatic wheeze is accompanied up the hill by the nearby whistle and puff of a Welsh steam engine - recently re-purposed from carrying rock to ferrying tourists - which seems strangely apt, as I am the latter in search of the former. ...After ten minutes of alternate squelching, slipping and side-stepping my way to the foot of the hill, I find myself in the corner of a field, the expected location of a quarry which isn’t there. ... I can just about make out what looks like a face of rock, but it may as well be on the other side of a barbed wire thicket - the wood is utterly impenetrable. ...Sitting there in the quiet, I hear an almost metallic, ‘chip, chip’, which is quickly followed by ‘peek, peek’, a sound which has a chalk-squeak-on-a-blackboard quality about it - a grating, citric creak that seems more at home between your teeth than in your ear. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Bonfire of the Baptist</title><dc:creator>editor@britishlandscape.org</dc:creator><category>Cornwall</category><category>Strange Days</category><dc:date>2014-09-17T11:16:36+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.britishlandscape.org/light/page7_files/b17b120f0a820fe5e49e99d89ed1cb6c-131.html#unique-entry-id-131</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.britishlandscape.org/light/page7_files/b17b120f0a820fe5e49e99d89ed1cb6c-131.html#unique-entry-id-131</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I’m here for a bonfire, specifically a midsummer’s eve bonfire on top of a hill overlooking Mounts Bay – one of at least half a dozen such events arranged by local Old Cornwall Societies up and down the county. The guiding principle of these societies is to hold on to the old customs and keep them alive for the next generation – a process of ‘gathering the fragments’ of Cornish culture, language and traditions which has steadily grown in popularity over the years. ...The air is thick with the smell of the horse box burgers, dozens of conversations have coalesced into a soft murmur, at which point we are handed our photocopied song sheets – along with a steely warning to return them later. ...At first I mouth the words, like a self-conscious schoolboy in morning assembly, as I don’t wish to appear impolite, but I am eventually swept up in it all - the beautiful location, the camaraderie and the life-affirming spirit of a sing-along at 700 feet. ...After a brief explanation of the symbolism of the bouquet of herbs that are to be thrown in to the fire – in place of a local ne'er-do-well – and some words from the Master of Ceremonies, a man appears with a bottle of white spirit to set things off in style. ... For all the layers of ceremony, etiquette, poetry and faith superimposed over the night, the fire itself is the focus and this is as it would have been for our ancestors, a celebration of summer through the building of a simulacrum of the sun itself.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Layby of the Week: Ranmore Common</title><dc:creator>editor@britishlandscape.org</dc:creator><category>Landscapes</category><dc:date>2014-08-22T16:48:07+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.britishlandscape.org/light/page7_files/ranmore-common.html#unique-entry-id-130</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.britishlandscape.org/light/page7_files/ranmore-common.html#unique-entry-id-130</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The North Downs in leafy Surrey are one of the hidden gems of Britain and Ranmore Common, a large tract of woodland west of unfortunately-named Dorking, is one of its lesser known spots, losing all the glory to admittedly glorious Box Hill next door.
