Abstract:
"The symposium entitled Denmark and Scotland: the cultural and envi­ ronmental resources of small nations was held at the Royal Danish Academy 15th-18th September 1999 to mark the initiation of co­ operation between the Academy and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The multi-disciplinary membership of the two institutions resulted in an extremely wide-ranging programme of papers. In time these ranged from the development of the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea Basin millions of years ago to the opening of the Øresund bridge be­ tween Copenhagen and Malmö in the year 2000. In space the papers concentrated on Denmark and Scotland and their relationships with neighbouring lands around the North Sea.
After the introductory papers on the geological background, the topics treated ranged from the place-names and archaeological evi­dence for Norse settlement in Shetland, Danish place-names in central and south-western Scotland and Scottish personal names in Denmark, the recording and protection of antiquities, wood-based architecture in Shetland and the Faroes, Nordic-Celtic links in folk literature and the theatre as an agency of cultural exchange to environmental history, land management and rural development, hydrocarbon development, the en­vironmental impact on the North Sea littoral of Scotland, soils as cul­tural resources and food webs and fish production in the North Sea..."
