For centuries the north coast of Ireland and Western Scotland were intrinsically linked by a common set of cultural traditions, language and political structures. This was a maritime province connected by short and easily navigable sea routes that had its high-water mark with the fifteenth-century Century Lordship of the Isles. The shifting political landscape and other socio-economic changes have meant that the shared identities and connections between these communities have all but vanished, and the Scottish Island communities that were once at the centre of this kingdom now experience geographical and social peripherality and the many problems this brings. With the onset of the Troubles Northern Ireland became increasingly isolated as the extended period of conflict closed the country and paralysed economic growth. As Ulster stutters out of conflict sections of the community are looking increasingly to the past to reaffirm and reposition themselves in contemporary society. Large sections of the unionist tradition look towards Scotland to define their identities and histories in an emerging Ulster Scots tradition. The nationalist community remains firmly embedded in a Gaelic Irish tradition that looks southwards for its cultural identities. Simultaneously, a new sense of nationhood is being developed in Scotland as politicians embrace a selective view of the past that sidelines the role the peoples of the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and others. Yet increasingly, archaeology is demonstrating the depth of connections between these communities and recent excavations of the seventeenth-century town at Dunluce Castle, for example, have confirmed vividly that the shared heritage of this region extended well into the early modern period through a linked economy, familial connections and cultural traditions. We propose a project to develop a researcher network across Ulster and Western Scotland (University of Ulster, Queen's University Belfast, Glasgow University, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Historic Scotland and the Kilmartin House Trust and co-produce this historic resource working with three communities in the project area (Colonsay Heritage Trust and Kilchattan Primary School, Colonsay Bushmills Heritage Group, Ballintoy Community Group and Millstrand Integrated Primary School in Antrim and Tavvallich Village Commnity Group and Tayvallich Primary School in Mid Argyll. This will build an awareness of a shared past and challenge and question contemporary versions of identity and place. It will play a part in economic regeneration and enhanced community well-being by contributing to current proposals to develop a heritage centre on Colonsay. We will build on established institutional and community links to create a researcher-community partnership between HE institutions, community groups, schools and heritage organisations within the region. We will bring together existing archaeological research and resources within the project area and findings from an initial programme of archaeological survey and investigation to deliver three open days in May/June 2011 (one each in Colonsay, Kilmartin museum and Kinbane, Antrim), a social networking programme for three schools (one each from Colonsay, Mid Argyll and Antrim) and a web site and online blog to support community-researcher interaction, hosted by the University of Ulster. This will stimulate researcher-community dialogue, support future community-led applications for HLF funding and potential applications for co-produced heritage research projects. A round of follow up meetings and workshops with community and research partners in September/October 2012 will further support this process. The project will culminate in the design and production of a poster, artefact and digital exhibit, displayed in each project area before being permanently housed initially at the village hall on Colonsay to directly support the Colonsay Heritage Trust.

几个世纪以来，爱尔兰北海岸和苏格兰西部因一套共同的文化传统、语言和政治结构而内在地联系在一起。这是一个由短而易航行的海上航线连接的海洋省份，其高水位标志是15-世纪群岛的世纪领主。不断变化的政治格局和其他社会经济变化意味着这些社区之间的共同身份和联系几乎消失了，曾经处于这个王国中心的苏格兰岛屿社区现在经历了地理和社会边缘化以及由此带来的许多问题。随着问题的发生，北方爱尔兰变得越来越孤立，因为长期的冲突使国家封闭，经济增长陷入瘫痪。随着阿尔斯特从冲突中走出来，社区的各个部分越来越多地回顾过去，在当代社会中重申和重新定位自己。大部分的统一主义传统期待苏格兰在一个新兴的阿尔斯特苏格兰传统中定义他们的身份和历史。民族主义社区仍然牢牢地植根于盖尔爱尔兰传统，向南寻找其文化身份。与此同时，苏格兰正在形成一种新的民族意识，因为政治家们对过去持选择性的看法，忽视了爱尔兰岛东北部人民和其他人的作用。然而，考古学越来越多地证明了这些社区之间联系的深度，例如，最近在邓卢斯城堡对17世纪城镇的挖掘生动地证实，该地区的共同遗产通过经济联系、家庭联系和文化传统一直延伸到现代早期。我们提出了一个项目，以发展一个研究人员网络横跨阿尔斯特和苏格兰西部（阿尔斯特大学，女王大学贝尔法斯特，格拉斯哥大学，北方爱尔兰环境局，历史苏格兰和基尔马丁众议院信托基金和共同制作这一历史资源与三个社区在项目领域（科隆赛遗产信托基金和基尔奇小学，科隆赛布什米尔斯遗产集团，安特里姆的巴林托社区团体和米尔斯特兰德综合小学以及阿盖尔中部的塔夫瓦利希村社区团体和泰瓦利希小学。这将建立对共同的过去和挑战的认识，并质疑当代版本的身份和地点。它将通过促进目前关于在科隆赛建立一个遗产中心的建议，在经济复兴和提高社区福祉方面发挥作用。我们将建立在已建立的机构和社区联系，在该地区的高等教育机构，社区团体，学校和遗产组织之间建立研究人员与社区的伙伴关系。我们会把工程计划范围内现有的习姓研究和资源，以及初步习姓调查和研究计划的结果，集中在一起，在2011年5月/6月举办三个开放日（科隆赛、基尔马丁博物馆和安特里姆的金班各一个），为三所学校举办的社交网络方案（分别来自科隆赛、阿盖尔中部和安特里姆）和一个网站和在线博客，以支持社区研究人员的互动，由阿尔斯特大学主办。这将促进研究人员与社区的对话，支持未来由社区牵头的HLF资金申请以及共同制作的遗产研究项目的潜在申请。2012年9月/10月与社区和研究伙伴举行的一轮后续会议和讲习班将进一步支持这一进程。该项目将最终设计和制作海报，人工制品和数字展览，在每个项目区域展示，然后永久安置在Colonsay的村庄大厅，直接支持Colonsay遗产信托基金。
