  • Clan Chatt An;
    AN ACCOUNT OF THE CONFEDERATION OF CLAN CHATT AN; ITS KITH AND KIN. PREPARED AT THE REQUEST OF THE CLAN ASSOCIATION IN GLASGOW. BY CHARLES FRASERaMACKINTOSH ' OF DRUMMOND, LL.D., F.S.A., SCOT. GLASGO\V: JOHX :\I.ACK.A Y, " CELTIC :\IO~THLY" OFFICE, 9 BLYTHS\VOOD DRIVE. FREFACE. HIS book has been undertaken by request of the active and zealous T Clan Chattan Association in Glasgow, who, having given the name, accept the responsibility, and therefore relieve me from the animadversions of some critics, who object to the term " Minor'' Septs of Clan Chattan. Thus, though not bound to defend the name assigned, it is at least incumbent to say that no slur was, is, or can be intended. \Vhile the Clan Chattan had its head and leader, to whom all the 1ue1nbers gave obedience when it met as a whole; yet composed as it was of various tribes, with different surna1nes, it resulted that each tribe had its Chieftain, supreme over his own tribe, but subsidiary to the Captain, as a matter of prudence and policy. Clanship was necessarily, in its original form, elective and voluntary. If, after experience, the clan flourished under its elected Chief, there was naturally a disinclination to break off from the victorious leader, or his successors. Discussions, differences, and internal dissensions, more or less, became in time unavoidable, such dissensions being always fostered by jealous neighbours. Clan Chattan from and after 1292 flourished, and became such a power as to excite the determined and hereditary hostility of the Gordons, themselves Southern interlopers.

  • Alexander Cochrane
    THE COCHRANES OF RENFREWSHIRE, SCOTLAND THE ANCESTRY OF ALEXANDER COCHRANE OF BILLERICA AND MALDEN, MASS., U.S. A. BY WALTER KENDALL WATKINS PRIVATELY PRINTED BOSTON, U.S. A. 1904 The Bartlett Press, 27 Beach Street, Boston. ALEXANDER COCHRANE. :813-1865. LOW BURGH CHURCH. PAISLEY. INTERIOR OF NEILSTON CHURCH. THE COCHRANES OF RENFREWSHIRE. The family name of Cochrane, in early times, is to be found almost exclusively in Renfrewshire and the bordering counties. This is ac­ counted for in the derivation of the name. Like other Scottish fami lies it is a place name, the family deriving it from the barony of Cochran. Crawford states, in his description of the shire of Renfrew, that the name is of great antiquity in this shire. The most prominent of the name at an early period was Waldevus de Cochran, whose son William was one of the Scotch barons who swore fealty to Edward I. of England in 1296. John de Cochran was of prominence in Robert Bruce's time, and from him were descended the Cochranes of Bar­ bachly, located in the parish of Bathgate, where we still find the farm and mill of Barbauchlaw. The lands of the ancient barony of Cochrane were across the Black Cart Water, opposite Johnstone, and were held by the Cochranes till sold by Thomas, eighth Earl Dundonald, to James Milliken, Esq., of Milliken, whose daughter Jean married Col. William Na pier of Cul­ creuch, into whose family the lands then came. A century ago part of the old manor house was still standing, and one of the old vaults was used as a cart house.

MEMORIALS OF THE FAM I LY GORDON OF CRAIG COLLECTED BY Captain DOUGLAS WIMBERLEY Sometime of the 79th or Cameron Highlanders PRIVATELY PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR AT THE OFFICE OF THE "BANFFSHIRE JOURNAL" I9O4. [lauristoncastieI [library accesshinj PREFACE. i|HE following account of the Family of Gordon of Craig aaL!Bl | | wag mos{jy compiled in 1902, with some hope that it might find a place in the series proposed to be published by the " New Spalding Club," under the title of " The House of Gordon." But I am inclined to think that all space available in the second volume has been already allocated, and the bringing out of the first volume has been deferred so much longer than I anticipated, that the prospect of the issue of a third volume (in which I hope "The Gordons of Craig," contributed by some one, will find a place), seems too remote for a man considerably beyond three sp:o|e and ten to wait for, especially as some revisal of proofs is requisite. I have, therefore, decided to get a few copies printed for private circulation, and have to thank one or two descendants of the Craig family for kindly contributing to the expense of doing this.

Historiography . 5-23 III. Historical Jacobitism . 24-39 IV. The End of Highland Life . 40-52 V. Highland Culture Revived . 53-73 VI.

Introduction Winston Churchill once claimed that “of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind.”1 Scotland has produced a plethora of important writers, philosophers, historians, and scientists. During the Enlightenment, Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, was called the “Athens of the north,”2 a tribute to the number of influential figures who lived or were educated there during the eighteenth century. Such famous and significant figures as David Hume, Andrew Carnegie, Alexander Graham Bell, Dr. David Livingstone, Sir Walter Scott, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were Scottish. Despite influence of Scotland’s famous progeny, the country is not known for its contributions to the sciences and the arts. Instead, the mention of Scotland brings to most minds such things as kilts, tartan, bagpipes, clanship, and other tourist images that were primarily Highland customs before the eighteenth century. This vision of a timeless Celtic Scotland is in opposition to the reality that existed before the eighteenth century.
