  • Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol
    Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol. 22 : Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies 1 Vol. 22: Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh (East Sutherland & Caithness) Author: Kurt C. Duwe 2nd Edition January, 2012 Executive Summary This publication is part of a series dealing with local communities which were predominantly Gaelic- speaking at the end of the 19 th century. Based mainly (but not exclusively) on local population census information the reports strive to examine the state of the language through the ages from 1881 until to- day. The most relevant information is gathered comprehensively for the smallest geographical unit pos- sible and provided area by area – a very useful reference for people with interest in their own communi- ty. Furthermore the impact of recent developments in education (namely teaching in Gaelic medium and Gaelic as a second language) is analysed for primary school catchments. Gaelic once was the dominant means of conversation in East Sutherland and the western districts of Caithness. Since the end of the 19 th century the language was on a relentless decline caused both by offi- cial ignorance and the low self-confidence of its speakers. A century later Gaelic is only spoken by a very tiny minority of inhabitants, most of them born well before the Second World War. Signs for the future still look not promising. Gaelic is still being sidelined officially in the whole area. Local council- lors even object to bilingual road-signs. Educational provision is either derisory or non-existent. Only constant parental pressure has achieved the introduction of Gaelic medium provision in Thurso and Bonar Bridge.

The Power of the Church. IN almost every age there has been a diversity of opinion as to the power of the Church of Christ on earth. This diversity of opinion is brought very prominently to our notice in the history of the Church in our own land since the time of the Reformation. Romanists claim that the Church is above the III State and that the Pope has the right to depose Kings and remove governments, in virtue of his claim to be the head of the Church. Erastians maintain that the Church is the creature of the State, and that the power of discipline and government in the Church i is committed to the office-bearens of the Church by the civil magistrate.

Kildonan - named after St. Donan who established his monastery at Suisgill; in the middle of the glen was the home of the McHamish Gunns from the 15th century up to the Clearances in 1819. 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. Kinbrace - at the top of Kildonan is said to have been named after the Crowner’s brooch.

  • INTRODUCTION This Project Was Inspired by the Work of Deacon John Woodside and His Book ‘Together in Christ: Following the Northern Saints’
    INTRODUCTION This project was inspired by the work of Deacon John Woodside and his book ‘Together in Christ: Following the Northern Saints’. A small book group, based at St Anne’s RC church in Thurso, Caithness, read this book and were surprised at the number of saints with connections to Caithness. A fairly light-hearted comment about the desirability of bringing these saints to the attention of modern Caithnesians developed a life of its own and grew into a work that we think has answered Deacon Woodside’s own wish, expressed in the final paragraph of his introduction ‘It is hoped that this short book will inspire you to do some saint researching of your own and discover the Christian genes that inform the history of several peoples who would eventually unite to become the Scottish Nation.’1 In addition to the general aim of making the early Christian history of Caithness more widely appreciated, we added other aims. Firstly, we are keen to remind the various Christian denominations of our common heritage in the hope of furthering the already positive ecumenical spirit in Caithness and the Highlands in general. Another aim that was adopted early on was to persuade tourists to spend some time in the county. We need to give them a reason to pause and explore Caithness rather than treating it as a place to go through on the way to somewhere else. Our first task was to find a structure through which to present our material. The most cursory of initial researches had shown that there was an embarrassment of material on our subject.

MACDONALD, SHIELDAIG, ROSS-SHIRE.* (Taken .from Ms own MS., and hitherto unpublished.) "The Spirit of the Lord God i$ upon me; because he hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to the,? that are bound."-IsAIAH lxi. 1. AN knows the present and past, but is ignorant of the lYI. future. God alone knoll's beforehand whatever comes to pass. He knew, before ever the world was, that Adam, whom He would create holy and happy, would fa)!. Although he was in his creation perfectly able to continue in his integrity, yet he was left to the freedom of his own will, to stand or fall as he pleased. God entered into a covenant with him, not only for himself but also for his posterity. If he continued in his integrity, all his posterity would' participate in the eternal happiness promised. But when he fell, they all fell with him, and became exposed to all the miseries that sin conveyed to them in its train. Adam freely entered the covenant, and his violation of it j,ustly exposed himself and his posterity to eternal darkness. But the Lord, in His mercy and love, designed that He should have a people saved from among men, and He did not seal their damnation for ever, like the' case of the fallen angels.
