THE MAGAZINE OF THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND www.ahss.org.uk AHSS Founded in 1956 – Speaking for Scotland's Buildings I Spring 2017 I No. 39 EDITOR'S WELCOME CORPORATE MEMBERS pring is traditionally a time of renewal, of clearing up and cleaning out. Appropriately then, this Anderson Bell Christie Architects AHSS issue involves dusting off the Society’s archives, reflecting on a year marking the 60th anniversary of our birth and, yes, refreshing the magazine itself. Annie Kenyon Architects Limited Spring 2017 l No. 39 S Appleton Partnership You will notice that while the magazine looks different, the content remains the same, with a mixture of Aquapol Scotland Ltd President features, activity reports and news from the ‘front line’ - our wonderful local groups. This issue reflects on Simon Green MA, FSA, FSA Scot Art Institute of Chicago our Jubilee year and includes a special focus on the AHSS itself, with our President Simon Green looking Benjamin Tindall Architects Vice Chairman back at the Society’s long history. I received Simon’s article on Valentine’s Day and it does read a bit like a Craigleith Masonry Conservation Ltd Caroline McFarlane love-letter! Diane Watters reflects on the outstanding contribution that the journal ‘Architecture Heritage’ Gray, Marshall & Associates Hon Treasurer has made to the scholarly understanding of Scotland’s built environment, and we have a helpful update Heritage Masonry (Scot) Ltd Hamish Macbeth by Elizabeth Graham on the campaign to ensure the best of futures for Edinburgh’s former Royal High Historic Environment Scotland School - a site the AHSS has vigorously championed. Dennis Rodwell’s insightful piece on the Liverpool LDN Architects Editor & Designer Abigail Daly | Ruskin Lane Consulting World Heritage Site, and UNESCO’s scrutiny of the UK’s approach to conservation and development, is a Large Holiday Houses Ltd timely reminder of what is at stake. National Gallery of Art Reviews Editor Page\Park Architects Mark Cousins For those of you interested in a more literal ‘spring clean’, Annie Flint’s article looks at the fantastic RIBA Library resource, ‘Under One Roof’ - invaluable for anyone with shared responsibilities for building maintenance. NATIONAL OFFICE Royal Incorporation of Architects in And if you feel a little world-weary after all that hard work, you would do well to read Mark Cranston’s 15 Rutland Square Scotland article on his brick collection. Not a sentence I ever thought I’d write, but Mark’s enthusiasm and passion Edinburgh EH1 2BE Simpson & Brown Architects 0131 557 0019 for his hobby (or “obsession”), is inspiring. He reminds us why we do what we do: “Just to hold something of T Graham & Son (Builders) Ltd [email protected] age, turn it around and wonder of its origins, who made it, when, why, continues to thrill me... [Research] was like :thatstudio chartered architects ltd www.ahss.org.uk pulling the pin on a history hand grenade. The information exploded out in all directions.” I feel revived already!

GLASG 1)W. l!T PREFATORY NOTE AFTER the publication of the Records of the Clan ancl Narne of Fergiisson, Ferguson, and Fergus in 1895, the Editors received a number of communications from persons of the name resident in Canada, the United States, and elsewhere. There also reached them a considerable amount of additional information, illustrating the earlier history of the Clan, and indicating the common origin of various families. The discovery of papers at Pitfour a year after the book came out was followed by the appearance of His Grace the Duke of Atholl's Chronicles of the Fa1nilies of .Atholl and Tulliebardine, which gives many interesting particulars about the Olan in Athole, while the Editors have been placed in communication with the representa­ tives of other families, who had been unaware of, or omitted to contribute to the original volume. Ultimately in the spring of 1898 the Clan Fergusson Society authorised the preparation and publication of the present supplemen­ tary volume. The Editors have, as on the previous occasion, en­ deavoured to supply notices of the families dealt with from the pen of a member of the particular family.

We haven't seen you all in over a year and a half and we are looking forward to your smiling faces and a chance to talk with all of you.

Make sure to mark your calendar for August 7th, put on your best Tartan and we will see you then.

  • The Hunters' Tryst

    The Hunters' Tryst

    The Hunters’ Tryst Publisher Billy Hunter C.O. Editor Bill Hunter 1st Edition—Internet November 2006 Dear Clans folk It has been sometime since I wrote to you all and hope to find every Hunter in good heart. I know you will join me in thanking all our Clan members who have attended Games over the last summer, for their support of our Clan and their enthusiasm and time and effort. It is very much appreciated. Being a member of Clan Hunter should be a pleasure and interesting. Meeting up at Highland Games is a great way to re-affirm our interest in our Scottish heri- tage, meet those with similar interest and have a good time. Recently, the St. Andrew’s Society of Manchester have invited myself to be the First lady Chief Guest of the Society. They are a very prestigious St. Andrews Society, which started in 1876. It is a very great honour for myself as Clan Chief and for the Hunter Clan. The dinner will be held on St. Andrew’s day, which is exceptional too. Next year. 2007, is our International Gathering at Hunterston Castle. It is also the celebration of the Hunters having been at Hunterston for 900 years It is interesting to think back to the days when the first Hunter, Norman Venator arrived at Hunterston, which was then marsh and woodland and to look at the Hunters now, who live in many countries. I’m sure that they would be proud that we have grown in numbers and still value our ancestry.
