  • Tracing Your Family History?
    Tracing your family history? Every year, the Trust receives many hundreds of enquiries from people who believe that they are related to Sir William St Clair, founder of Rosslyn Chapel. Unfortunately, we are unable to help with tracing a family tree. The Rosslyn Chapel Trust was set up to look after the Chapel and related buildings, and to educate the public about its history and architecture. So our focus is the building rather than the family itself. One of the difficulties for us, is that there are no surviving archives here that you can consult. Rosslyn Castle was besieged during the Wars of Scottish Independence and by Oliver Cromwell’s army in 1650. A later fire in the 18th century destroyed what records remained. For that reason, the family records are very limited. Researchers may find some information in the ROSSLYN Muniments, which are held in the Scottish Records Office. That is where all the surviving family papers are held. For your own family history research, we would highly recommend This carving is believed to be of Sir William St Clair, who founded Rosslyn Chapel in 1446. the official Scottish Genealogy resource – Scotlands People. You can find many records online at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. The online records go back to 1553, which is when baptism records began. The National Records of Scotland Archives hold a wide range of materials, including estate, court and church records, some dating back to the 12th century. There is an online catalogue, and you can contact them to get information that is not shown online.

The original church of Kildonan probably dated from about 1100 and contained the mortuary chapel of the Gunn chiefs at its western end. This was replaced by the present church built in 1788. Down the river from the church is Killearnan the seat of the McHamish Gunns for over 200 years until it was destroyed bv fire in 1690. Nothing remains of the original house.

  • P720: Photographs of the Site of the Battle of Altimarlach, Near Wick, 1680
    Title – P720: Photographs of the Site of the Battle of Altimarlach, near Wick, 1680 RECORDS’ IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference number: P720 Alternative reference number: Title: Photographs of the Site of the Battle of Altimarlach, near Wick, 1680 Dates of creation: 2008 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 9 photographs and CD Format: Photographs and CD RECORDS’ CONTEXT Name of creators: David A. Taylor, photographer Administrative history: From Wikipedia: The Battle of Altimarlach or Altimarlech was a Scottish clan battle that took place on 13 July 1680. It was fought between the Clan Campbell and Clan Sinclair. In 1672, debt forced George Sinclair, 6th Earl of Caithness, to resign his titles and estates in favour of Sir John Campbell. Campbell took possession of the estates on Sinclair's death in May 1676, and was created earl of Caithness in June the following year. Sinclair's heir, George Sinclair of Keiss disputed the claim and seized the land in 1678. On 13 July 1680, Campbell took a force of 800 men north to evict Sinclair of Keiss, who was waiting for him with 500 men near Wick. Inflamed with drink, the Sinclairs attacked the force of Campbells and were routed. Legend has it that so many Sinclairs were killed that the Campbells were able to cross the river without getting their feet wet. The Campbells' piper composed a tune before the battle, whose English translation is "Gaffers in Trousers". This was meant to taunt the Sinclairs who, Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archive 1 unlike the Campbells who wore kilted Highland dress, wore tartan trews.

  • Can You Identify the Clan
    Who Fought On What Side At Culloden Most people will tell you The Battle of Culloden was fought by the Scottish clans on the side of Prince Charlie and the British army with the Duke of Cumberland on the other side, Scot’s against the English. This is not quite right. You had clans on both sides, and you had clans that did not come out for either side. Some clans such as Clan Gordon and Clan Grant were represented on both sides. In the case of Clan Gordon, the chief of Clan Gordon took the side of the English but his brother Lord Lewis Gordon with many from Clan Gordon joined the Jacobite side. Clan Grant of Glenmorriston came out to fight on the Jacobite side, while Clan Grant of Freuchie opposed them on the English side. Clan Rose tried to remain neutral, on 14 April 1746 Hugh Rose of Kilravock, chief of Clan Rose entertained Bonnie Price Charlie. On 15 April Hugh Rose entertained the Duke of Cumberland. Can’t get more diplomatic than that. The chief of Clan MacQuarrie took no side but did not stop his clansmen from doing so. This also happened with a lot of small clan groups. So the question is what clan was on what side? The following list is compiled from present day sources. Some clans may not be listed, if your clan is not listed, take the time and find out which side they may have been on. CLANS WITH BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE Boyd Cameron Chilsom Davidson Drummond Farquharson Fraser Hay Livingstone MacBean MacColl MacDonald of Glencoe MacDonald of GlenGarry MacDonald of Keppoch MacDonald Clan Ranald MacDuff MacFie MacGillivray MacGregor MacInnes MacKinnon MacKintosh MacIntyre MacIver 2 MacLachlan MacLaren MacLean MacLea MacNeil of Barra MacNaughten MacPherson Menzie Morrison Oglivy Oliphant Robertson Stewart of Appin Along with the clans listed on the side of Bonnie Prince Charlie was the regiment of Atholl Highlanders made up of Clan Murray and the following clansmen of Clan Ferguson, Stewart of Atholl, men from Clan Elphinstone, Forbes, Keith, MacKenzie, MacLeod of MacLeod, Macleod of Lewis, MacTavish, MacMillan, Maxwell, Ramsey and Clan Wemyss.

    ********************************************************************************* GENEALOGISTS FOR THE SCOTTISH CLANS by Robert D. McLaren 7810 Kincardine Court Alexandria, VA 22315-4025 (703) 971-6924 [email protected] 8 April 2000 Version 2000-3 © Copyright 2000 Robert D. McLaren The following list is a compilation of Clan Genealogists or Clan points of contact for genealogy (for the Scottish Clans and Family Associations). The amount of information available from these genealogists varies greatly, with some having extensive records. For example, the clan genealogist for Clan Scott maintains a database of all SCOTTs and is a coordinator of the SCOTT One Name Society. He has about 53,000 records on file dealing with more than 2,000 family lines. The clan genealogist/historian for Clan Barclay also is a coordinator for the BARCLAY One Name Society. She has about 19,000 BARCLAY/BARKLEY and collateral names on file dealing with 125 family lines. The Clan Morrison historian has a 6,000-name database of MORRISON families in the U.S. and Canada. Some clans have genealogy committees. When I learn about them I will include committee members in this listing. Some of these members only cover one or a few states. In these cases, I note the states that particular member covers. Also, some clan genealogists specialize in one surname of a clan. Clan MacKay, for example, has many surname genealogists. I am listing these surnames under the parent clan with a note (i.e., See also Mackie). The actual genealogist and his/her address will be listed under the surname (i.e., Mackie). For some clans, more than one society exists.

CHAPTER 8.1.1.2 This chapter presents an assessment of the likely significant effects of the construction, operation and decommissioning of the three proposed wind farm sites on commercial fisheries. 8.1.1.3 Information supporting this assessment has been collected from a data review and consultation as explained in Chapter 5.1 (Commercial Fisheries). 8.1.2 Summary of Effects Commercial Fisheries 8.1.2.1 As described in Chapter 5.1 (Commercial Fisheries) and supported in Technical Appendix 5.1 A (Commercial Fisheries Technical Report), the three proposed wind farm sites are principally located on scallop grounds, and to a lesser extent squid grounds. There is a very low level of whitefish activity. The site records moderate levels of fishing activity compared to grounds elsewhere in the Moray Firth, and relatively low levels of activity on a national scale. 8.1.2.2 The construction of Telford, Stevenson and MacColl wind farms will result in increasingly restricted access to fishing grounds within the site as the construction phase progresses.
