Inventory Acc.3250 Hay of Hayfield Acc.3250 July 2008 Amended May 2012 Inventory Acc.3250 Hay of Hayfield National Library of Scotland Manuscripts Division George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW Tel: 0131-466 2812 Fax: 0131-466 2811 E-mail: [email protected] © Trustees of the National Library of Scotland Papers of the Family of Hay of Hayfield, Shetland. Presented 1961. The period covered by these papers extends from 1722 to 1914, but almost all of them belong to the century 1760-1860. During that time, there were three members especially of the Hay family who were engaged in commercial enterprises, fishing, and local business in Shetland, and the correspondence and papers given a comprehensive picture of commercial life not merely in Shetland, but also in the east of Scotland, north England, and even in parts of Europe, from Bergen to Barcelona. The picture of local conditions in Shetland also emerges fairly clearly. There is a considerable body of Family correspondence, which gives an insight into the life of a typical middle-class family of this period, with a mercantile background, and living in the commercial areas of Britain as well as Shetland. Arrangement of the papers: 1. Boxes 1-36. Commercial correspondence. Many accounts were sent in with a letter, long or short, written on the same sheet. These are classed under ‘commercial correspondence’. 2. Boxes 37-42. Business and legal correspondence. Under this heading are included letters dealing particularly with land, banking, legal cases, and some local affairs. 3. Boxes 43-46. General correspondence. 4. Boxes 47-72. Family correspondence. A considerable amount of this is commercial in content, especially the voluminous correspondence carried on between James Hay and his son William Hay(2). The letters of Henry Cheyne, W.S., to his father-in-law William Hay(2) are mainly about business and local affairs. 5. Boxes 73-80. Business and legal correspondence, with relevant papers and accounts, dealing with specific items. 6. Boxes 81-82. Miscellaneous business, legal, family, and local papers. 7. Boxes 83-87. Commercial correspondence, with relevant papers and accounts, dealing with specific items. 8. Boxes 88-100. Commercial accounts. These include receipts both for goods and money, invoices, and bills of lading. Only those commercial accounts without any letter attached are included here; those with a letter, however short, are classed as `correspondence' (see above). 9. Boxes 101-102. Personal, legal, and other accounts. 10. Boxes 103-110. Shop orders and commissions. 11. Boxes 111-112. Correspondence and accounts of persons other than the Hay family. 12. Boxes 113-115. Miscellaneous papers and writs. 13. Boxes 116-119. Papers of J.L. Woodman, W.S. 14. Separate items on the shelves, numbered as in Inventory. As a guide to these papers, it may be of help to give some notes on the history of the Hay of Hayfield family during this period, and a genealogical chart of the persons concerned. 1. Notes on the family history of the Hays of Hayfield. In 1737 William Hay(1) came to Shetland from Kilsyth, at the age of 14. In 1743 he got a tack of land in Unat, then set-up as a fish-curer and merchant in mid-Yell (1743), next in Papa Stour (1761), and finally at Westsandwick in Yell (c.1774). James Hay(1), his son, on finishing at school, 1766, was apprenticed to Sandeman of Luncarty near Perth, to learn the linen trade. He returned to Shetland in 1770 and started a Bleachfield and weaving factory, but by 1776 it was a failure. James Hay then turned to Fisheries, and between 1777 and 1790 became a considerable exporter of dried salt fish to the Continent. Unfortunately his mental health was unstable, and from 1784 onwards he suffered break-downs from time to time. His activities were gradually confined to shop-keeping in Lerwick, and his son, William Hay(2), helped his from 1804 onwards. James Hay's mental health never fully recovered, and he took little part in business after 1814. He died in 1831. William Hay(2), seems never really to have sihed to become a general merchant in Lerwick, but he was forced to by circumstances. For some time he proposed, and his business seems to have reached its peak about 1824. He was then in partnership with Charles Ogilvy (1761-1827), and his sons John and Charles, the firm being known as Hay and Ogilvy, started in 1822. The Shetland Bank was established in 1821, run by the same partners to start with, though John Ogilvy retired in 1830. The Bank finances and those of Hay and Ogilvy were not kept separate; the mercantile firm's books were not balanced after 1834: William Hay, ignorant of the true situation, kept buying land with money that was not strictly available; and in 1842 the firm of Hay and Ogilvy went bankrupt. The firm by then owed the Bank more than £31,000. William Hay showed a surprising resilience, and managed after a year or two to satisfy his creditors, though not of course with full payment. Charles Ogilvy died in 1844, and the firm was now Hay & Co., run by William Hay and his sons George and Arthur, until the end of this period. 2. Genealogical Chart - see next sheet.

Norse shielings in Scotland: An interdisciplinary study of setr/sætr and ærgi-names Ryan Foster Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2018 Abstract This is a study of the Old Norse (hereafter abbreviated to ON) setr/sætr and ærgi place-names in areas of Scandinavian settlement in Scotland. The elements setr/sætr and ærgi all have a general meaning of a place for summer grazing in the hills, referred to in Scotland as a shieling. However, the related terms setr and sætr, are employed as shielings names in Norway and are indistinguishable from each other in Britain. It is only in areas of Scandinavian settlement in Britain and the Faroes that ærgi is found to signify a shieling site.
