“COBBIE” and “THE KING of FORGUE” 1800S
THE MARQUIS OF HUNTLY, “COBBIE” AND “THE KING OF FORGUE” 1800s ames Allardes had inherited Boynsmill Estate in 1800, but by 1802 was living at J Cobairdy, where, although only the tenant of John Morison of Auchintoul, he lived very much the lifestyle of a laird and acquired the sobriquet of “Cobbie” as a result. One of his neighbouring landowners was the Duke of Gordon, and both men knew each other and had mutual dealings, especially when it came to improving the estate boundaries between lands at Kinnoir and Cobairdy. Aberdeen Journal 24 February 1802 The Duke’s son and heir, George, Marquis of Huntly at this time lived at Huntly Lodge, and oversaw the running of his father’s estates in the Huntly area, and became closely acquainted with James Allardes and also with Alexander Shand, in Conland. The outcome of these friendships was that these two prominent men of Forgue society were regular guests of the Marquis at his lavish parties.

Forty Years for Labrador
FORTY YEARS FOR LABRADOR BY SIR WILFRED GRENFELL K.C.M.G., M.D. (OxoN.), F.R.C.S., F.A.C.S. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS LONDON HODDER AND STOUGHTON LIMITED 1934 FIRST PUBLISHED MARCH 1933 POPULAR EDITION OCTOBER 1934 COPYRIGHT 1 19191 BY WILFRED THOMASON GRENFELL COPYRlGHT, 19321 BY WILFRED GRENFELl. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RRPRODUCIT. THIS BOOK. OR PARTS THEREOF IN ANY FORM Made tJttJd Pri•ted ;,. Great Britain. R. & R. CLARK, LIMITBD, Edi,./nwgh TO MY WIFE PREFACE A BIOLOGIST, watching one animal in his vivarium to see how an experiment turns out, expects to arrive nearer the truth as time elapses and the end draws near. Just so, spectators watch ing a runner in a race get more and more interested as the last lap approaches and the goal looms in sight. Then the runner's achievement is easier to appraise. Life's struggle, moreover, becomes increasingly interesting now that philosophers again permit us to regard results as dependent upon causes which are under the control of the individual runner to a very large extent. The title of this new record has been changed, to suggest that this is the last lap, and that deductions from the facts may be expected to be more mature and therefore more worth while, provided they are honest. The consciousness of having to live alongside the first venture into autobiography involved a kind of vivisection; for to have to tell the truth about one's real self carries with it the inescapable reproach of nudism, however salutary that may be for one's spiritual welfare, or however interesting to others. -

Kiribati Titles from the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau Collection
Kiribati titles from the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau collection Compiled April 2015 Short titles and some notes only. See PMB on-line database catalogue at http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/pambu/catalogue/ for information sheets and detailed reel lists. PMB Manuscript series of Microfilms AU PMB MS 09 Title: Tapu: a tale of adventure in the South Seas (a novel) Date(s): After 1894 (Creation) Moors, Harry J. Extent and medium: 1 reel; 35mm microfilm Description: Harry J. Moors (1854-1926) was born in Detroit and died in Apia, Western Samoa. As an agent for the Hawaiian Board of Immigration, he made several voyages to the Gilbert Islands and Marshall Islands around 1880 to recruit labourers for Hawaii's sugar plantations. In 1883, he settled in Apia, Western Samoa, and became a successful trader and planter. Moors was closely associated with Robert Louis Stevenson during the novelist's five years (1889-1894) in Samoa and in 1910 he published a book of reminiscences entitled With Stevenson in Samoa. Moors stated in that book that Stevenson had once urged him to write down some of the 'wonderful stories' he had related to Stevenson about his early career. Moors acted on this encouragement, and after Stevenson died, he wrote two novels, of which Tapu: A Tale of Adventure in the South Seas is one. Neither of the novels was published. See also the Bureau's newsletter <1>Pambu, September 1968:4. The novel is based on Moors' experiences in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands as a labour recruiter for the Hawaiian Board of Immigration. -

The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Cromdale Designation Record and Full Report Contents
The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Cromdale The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.
