About: Gugh

An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Gugh (/ˈɡjuː/; Cornish: Keow, meaning "hedge banks") could be described as the sixth inhabited island of the Isles of Scilly, but is usually included with St Agnes with which it is joined by a sandy tombolo known as "The Bar" when exposed at low tide. The island is only about 1 km (0.62 mi) long and about 0.5 km (0.31 mi) wide, with the highest point, Kittern Hill at 34 m (112 ft). The geology consists of Hercynian granite with shallow podzolic soils on the higher ground and deeper sandy soils on the lower ground. The former Gugh farm is just north of the neck across the middle of the island between the two hills. The two houses were designed and built in the 1920s by Charles Hamlet Cooper. The name is often mispronounced as "Goo", "Guff" or even "Gogh".

dbo:abstract
  • Gugh (kornisch Keow) ist eine Insel der Scilly-Inseln. Das Eiland ist etwa einen Kilometer lang und einen halben Kilometer breit. An seinem höchsten Punkt Kittern Hill liegt Gugh 34 m über dem Meeresspiegel. Die Insel ist durch den nur gut 60 Meter breiten Tombolo The Bar, der The Cove im Süden vom Forth Conger im Norden trennt, mit St. Agnes verbunden. Der Granit, aus dem die Insel hauptsächlich besteht, ist im Zuge der Variszischen Orogenese entstanden. Auf dem Eiland gibt es mehrere Cairns (Obadiah’s Barrow) und Menhire. Insbesondere der 2,40 m hohe Old Man of Gugh ist ein beliebtes Fotomotiv bei Touristen. Im 17. Jahrhundert wurde auf Gugh mit der Herstellung von Natriumcarbonat aus Kelp begonnen. Das aufwendige Verfahren, die Trocknung und Verbrennung des Seegrases zur Gewinnung von Salz für die Glasproduktion, wurde erst Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts aufgegeben als kostengünstigere, industrielle Methoden zur Verfügung standen. (de)

The name is often mispronounced as "Goo", "Guff" or even "Gogh". The island lies within the Isles of Scilly Heritage Coast, is in the Isles of Scilly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is managed by the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust. Vegetation cover is mainly wind-pruned heath or dense bracken and bramble with a small area of coastal grassland formed over blown sand which has accumulated near the bar. In 2013 the Isles of Scilly Seabird Recovery Project was set up by a number of organisations including the RSPB and the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust. The five-year project aimed to keep the islands of St Agnes and Gugh brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) free, to help breeding sea birds, which lost 25% of their populations between 1983 and 2006. A programme of habitat restoration began in January 2016 with the removal of the invasive Pittosporum (Crassifolium species). (en)
  • Gugh (córnico: Keow) es la más pequeña de las seis islas pobladas de las islas Sorlingas, un archipiélago del condado inglés de Cornualles. Según el censo de población de 2001 Gugh tiene una población de tres personas, lo que la convierte en la más pequeña de las islas pobladas. Durante la marea baja, Gugh es una península de Saint Agnes, una isla más grande al oeste.​ Desde 1976 Gugh es un Site of Special Scientific Interest en su totalidad. (es)

  • Gugh (uitspraak: [gjoew], met een harde g) (Cornisch: Keow) is een van de eilanden van de Isles of Scilly, een eilandengroep ca. 45 km voor de kust van Cornwall in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Gugh is een getijdeneiland: bij laag water is het door een tombolo, de Hugh Bar, verbonden met het eiland St. Agnes. Op Gugh staan twee huizen, waarin drie mensen wonen (volkstelling 2001). Bezienswaardigheden op Gugh zijn Kittern Hill en Obadiah's Barrow, twee dolmen, en The Old Man of Gugh, een bijna drie meter hoge menhir uit de Bronstijd. (nl)
  • Gugh (cornico Keow, file di siepi) si potrebbe descrivere come la sesta isola abitata dell'arcipelago delle Isole Scilly, ma è solitamente conteggiata assieme a St Agnes, alla quale è unita da un tombolo di sabbia detto "The Bar" durante le basse maree. L'isola è lunga solamente 1 km e larga circa 0,5; la massima elevazione è Kittern Hill, alta 34 m. Dal punto di vista geologico è costituita da granito ercinico con sottili suoli podzolici nei terreni più elevati e suoli sabbiosi più profondi nei terreni più bassi. L'antica fattoria di Gugh si trova immediatamente a nord della strozzatura al centro dell'isola, tra le due colline; le due case furono progettate e costruite negli anni venti del XX sec. da un certo Cooper. L'isola è compresa nella "Heritage Coast" e nell'"Area di Eccezionale Bellezza Naturale" delle Isole Scilly ed è gestita dall'"Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust". La copertura vegetale è costituita principalmente da bassa brughiera o da intrichi di felci e rovi, con una piccola superficie di prateria costiera cresciuta sulla sabbia accumulata dal vento lungo il tombolo.
