calum davidson photos from the highlands and islands and the rest of the world about photography cromarty writing contact “a location on the north coast of sutherland, highland council area, lies at the head of tongue bay, two miles north of tongue. the small bay here is dominated by a sheer conglomerate red sandstone cliff.” the edinburgh university online gazetter for scotland sits under the watch hill, looking north over it’s spectacular beach to the rabbit islands. it is one of series of crofting townships, running from tongue, through , strath tongue, dalharn, blandy and scullomie to the desterted township of slettel that sit on the eastern fringes of the kyle of tongue. history of the meaning of back , as the old norse (on) word for a hill or ridge is a quite straitforward translation, (gaelic (g) bac a bank on old icelandic (oi) bakki a ridge , danish (d), bakke swedish (sw) backe a hill, hillock). there is of course a back in lewis, and a backie in east sutherland near golspie. the cold in , is somewhat more problematical, however. a number of scottish place name commentators have translated the cold as the g coil or cuil , meaning a nook or corner. cuille g a wood is also mentioned. this would give us the nook or corner under the ridge or woody ridge , both accurate and descriptive. there is a problem with this approach however, in that it clearly combines a gaelic and norse root to form a word. this is not impossible, as there is ample evidence of place names combining words from the two languages, with dalharn mixing the norse word dale for field, with the gaelic word for stones or cairn. however it is important to remember that dal in gaelic is a borrow word from norse, and is therefore part of the gaelic language. the other key issue that the place name is not unique to the kyle of tongue, with there being two coldbacks in shetland (in unst and delting) and one in nw iceland, there is also a culleybackey in aintrim, north of belfast. as there is no evidence at all of any gaelic influence in shetland, or iceland, (and a very strong norse presence in ulster) it makes a gaelic norse word combination very unlikely. as the pattern of norse colonisation of the shetland, orkney, caithness, sutherland, faeroes and iceland was from norway, through shetland and thence north to faeroe and iceland (and greenland), and from shetland south to orkney, caithness and sutherland, i.e. through shetland rather than direct from norway, it would seem that there is an argument for the sutherland to be the same word combination as those in shetland and iceland. there are a number of possibilities as to its meaning. two obvious possibilities occur in old norse, kald – cold (the same root word for english and scots) or kol charcoal, coal or peat. this could give us cold ridge, or peaty ridge, both accurate descriptions. there is a problem with using kol for peat, as there is no evidence that this norse word was ever used in scotland, with peat being called turf – on torf in scotland. omand, in the sutherland book, translates as kula-bakki bank with the bump , whilst stewart, in his seminal work place names of shetland says that coldbacks is cold hill. pre-history in the kyle of tongue the recent human history of the east shore of the kyle of tongue stretches back to the end of the last ice age, ten thousand years ago, when the last of the glaciers melted to give us the landforms which we see around the kyle today. this ice age would have destroyed any evidence of human settlement in the north of scotland in earlier times. there is little recorded evidence in the far north for this palaeolithic period, but archaeological evidence of the lifestyle of hunter gather families excavated on the isle of jura, of the coast of argyll, over the past 20 years gives us a clear picture of how these handfuls of people would have lived off the beaches and cliffs of north sutherland eight to ten thousand years ago. it may be that their shell middens, created by generations of families moving between around the coasts, have yet to be recognised or excavated in this part of scotland. however such sites on jura, and at a rock shelter and shell midden recently discovered and excavated in skye have shown that at this time people had tools of bone, stone and antler, were living off shellfish, fish and deer using pot-boiler stones ( i.e. stones heated in a fire which were then used to boil water) as a cooking method, were making beads from seashells and had ochre pigment and used shellfish which can produce purple dye. neolithic (ie three thousand bc or five thousand years old) middens can be seen at the east side of the kyle of tongue, near the youth hostel. the sea level would have been much higher at that time (or to be exact the land level was lower – the weight of ice having depressed the land significantly – in fact it is still rebounding over northern europe, up to one centimetre every ten years in the northern baltic sea area.) there would also probably have been wide salt marshes in the upper reaches of the sutherland firths, and extensive forests of birch, alder and scots pine on the fertile land, with a wide spread scrub forestry on the poorer land. most importantly, and the greatest contrast to today, there would have been no peat. these hunter gatherers would have lived a nomadic lifestyle in the area for five thousand years, until the first permanent farming settlements by the neolithic people, around four to five thousand years ago. the neolithic people lived in small family groups, practising simple agriculture and animal husbandry, supplemented by hunting. most evidence of their lifestyle has been submerged by the growth of peat since 2000 bc, but some cup and ring rock carvings dating from that time can be seen near loch hakel, at the south end of the kyle of tongue. on the shore of this small loch you will find a large boulder marked with 34 cupmarks (11 of which are ringed). a local tradition recorded in 1870 explained the marks as being made by a fairy with pointy heeled shoes. nearby orkneys rich archaeological remains show how such neolithic communities lived and worked. on the orkney island of papa westray there is a remarkable well preserved stone house at the knap of hower, occupied over 5000 years ago. the walls stand to a low eaves height, and the stone furniture is intact. evidence from nearby middens shows that the inhabitants were keeping cattle, sheep and pigs, farming barley and wheat and gathering shellfish as well as fishing for species which have to be line caught using boats. finely made and decorated unstan ware pottery fragments links the inhabitants to chambered cairn tombs nearby, as well as to sites in other parts of scotland. the wreck of the ss onega the ss onega was a dundee based brig (a two masted square rigged sailing vessel) on passage from montreal in canada back to dundee in december 1862. she was owned by george armitstead & co, bought by them in 1852, when she was two years old. her tonnage was rated at 229, making her the largest brig in the companies fleet, although she would have been only about twice the size of a modern fishing vessel. the ss onega was sailing along the north coast on the 20th december when it was hit by a violent storm. the ships master decided to try to sit out the storm in the quiet waters behind eilean roan. however he misjudged the waves that build up in the shallow waters of the kyle when the wind is in the north east, and the vessel dragged her anchor. she dragged right into the shallows off beach, where the huge waves pounded her to a wreck. the shallow waters of the kyle can raise significant waves in a very short time. the vessels lifeboats were carried away and overturned, and despite attempts to launch boats from and scullomie all the crew were drowned. the bodies were washed up on the coast from beach around to eilean roan. three were recovered in a small cove on the south east of the island, w
