Macfarlane's Lantern No.128 September 2013) MacFarlane’s Lantern Newsletter of the Clan MacFarlane Society, Australia, Inc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No.129 March 2014 Website: http://www.clanmacfarlane.org.au MacFarlanes in Kilmaronock Parish Old picture postcard photograph of Mains Castle and Kilmaronock House, Dunbartonshire. The rural parish of Kilmaronock lies at the south-east corner of Loch Lomond, bounded in the south by Dumbarton and Bonhill parishes and in the north-east by Buchanan and Drymen parishes (Stirlingshire). The western boundary embraces four islands on Loch Lomond. Total area of the parish is recorded as 10,339 acres plus some 4,000 acres under water (Third Stat. Account Scot. 1959). Anciently the parish formed an important part of the medieval Earldom of Lennox, from which sprang our own Clan MacFarlane. Similarly, two important seats of the House of Lennox were located within the parish: one on the island of Inchmurrin and another inland at Catter – these, and yet another stronghold at Balloch in the neighbouring parish of Bonhill gives some idea of the sphere of influence held by the old Celtic earls. The name Kilmaronock is derived from “cell, chapel, or burying-place of St Marnoch,” who died in AD 737 (3rd Stat. Acc. Scot.); this being also the root origin of Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, thereby at times causing some confusion between the two! In our MacFarlane archives, primarily based on “History of Clan MacFarlane” by James MacFarlane (Glasgow 1922) we find reference to George MacFarlane th (1568-1616) a younger son of Andrew MacFarlane 14 Chief, having “received as his patrimony the Mains of Kilmaronock where the ruins of his castle still survive. George died without issue before 11 May 1616 when his elder brother was his heir. However, in the general written history of the Barony of Kilmaronock there is no apparent mention of MacFarlane presence. The district has remained largely as rich farming land, and although having only two villages, appears always as home to numerous farming families, sometimes styled “bonnet lairds” bearing various Scottish surnames – of which the name MacFarlane never dominated. Indeed, the castle (now ruins) pictured above, dates back to the mid-14th century, when the land was held by the Dennistoun family.

Andrew Macfarlane for 42 years schoolmaster here, 25-9-1831, Age 85; wife Annie Macneilage 31-10-1844, Age 82. We know very little about Andrew, although being the local schoolmaster (more often styled Dominie) he and Annie would no doubt be regarded highly within the parish community. They were married in November 1784 at Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire, where the first three of their twelve children were born – Catherine (1786); John (1787) and Ann (1789). Andrew and Annie appear to have moved to Kilmaronock around 1790 where their other nine children were born – being five sons and four daughters – the youngest born in 1805. Named John Robert, he was educated at Princes Their eighth child, son Alexander MacFarlan Hill State School and the Melbourne Education (1798-1867), married Mary Ross (b.1799, Forres, Institute. In 1897 he joined the Victorian Railways Morayshire), and they produced a brood of ten where he worked as a clerk. He later won a children.

  • Macfarlane's Lantern No
    MacFarlane’s Lantern Newsletter of the Clan MacFarlane Society, Australia, Inc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No.123 September 2012 Website: http://www.clanmacfarlane.org.au The Scots and their Kirk (Part One) By Malcolm Lobban The Abbey & Nunnery, Iona, Argyllshire. The practice of creating Christian names in honour of saints has a long history in Scotland, and is a good indication that Scots were an evangelised nation from an early period in history. It was a common trait especially among Gaels. It is also apparent that those names prefixed with ‘ Gille’ (servant) and ‘Maol’ (tonsured one) are among the earliest examples, many of which are found in our oldest written records. In most cases they serve well in identifying persons of native stock from among the numerous incomers, whose names came to dominate later charters after the Norman Conquest of 1066. It is therefore reasonable to suggest that those clans, identified by such patronymics, may have remote origins, and were among the oldest inhabitants of Celtic Scotland. During the Dark Ages (5th to 10th century), when the Celtic missionaries made their appearance in the Highlands and Islands, the natives were probably organised into several small septs, each zealously guarding its territory. Evidence of their acceptance of the Christian faith appears with the practice of naming their children in honour of saints. It is likely that the tribal chiefs would be the first converts. Indeed, this was possibly the only way in which the common folk could display their dedication and professed faith. Later, the more wealthy members of society would donate land and give other material tribute to one or other of the many religious sites being established throughout the land.

At length, in the summer of 1891, traveling for the second time in Europe, I was enabled to exe- cute a long-cherished plan of spending some time at Arrochar, at the head of Loch Long, in the Highlandsof Scotland, the hereditary posses- sions for six hundred years of the chiefs of the Clan MacFarlane.

    THE CLAN MACFARLANE THE DIVISION OF THE CLAN. ANCESTRY OF DAVID D. McNAIR MARY WILSON MacNAIR HARTFORD, CONN. The Cask, Lockwood & Brainard Co., Printers 1914 SO^ri'/dOS ,vrijjCiS-es% ^'^^ -a->^^) . \ //.'/ PREFATORY NOTE Ihis little sketch — or series of sketches — has been prepared largely for the children and grandchildren of David D. McNair. The history of the Clan MacFarlane is drawn in great measure from the accounts by William Buchanan of Auchmar (Edinburgh, 1775) and William F. Skene (London, 1837). The story of the division of the clan is taken from the "Celtic monthly; a magazine for Elighlanders," published in Glasgow. For much of the information in regard to the later MacNair (McNair) ancestry I am indebted to Theodore M. McNair's " Genea- logical record of the descendants of John McNair and Christiana Walker" (Dansville, N. Y., 1880). All the works cited in the Bibliography with the exception of this last named volume, are in the Library of Congress, Washington. Mary W. MacNair, Washington, 19 14. 3^y THE CLAN MAC FARLANE Concerning the origin of the earls of Lennox there is much uncertainty. William Skene, in his " Highlanders of Scotland," tells us that during the lifetime of David I the earldom formed a part of the principality of Cumbria, and claims that the family of Lennox, before they acquired the earldom, were hereditary seneschals of Stratherne and bail- lies of the abthainrie (or abbacy) of Dull in AthoU. We have the account of Peter Walsh, in his " Ani- madversions on the history of Ireland," who derives their descent from Mainus, son of the Irish king of Leinster, and Mungenia, daughter of Fincormachus, king of Scotland.

  • The Victorian Country Party, 1917 to 1945
    OF MEASURES AND MEN The Victorian Country Party, 1917 to 1945 Antony Lamb A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Social Research Faculty of Life and Social Sciences Swinburne University of Technology 2009 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with how the Country Party in Victoria from its formation in 1917 until 1945 differed from its counterparts in the other states and federally and formed alliances with the Labor Party to restrict the conservative parties (variously named) to the opposition benches. The often close cooperation of the non-Labor parties federally and in other states was rarely replicated in Victoria. The central argument of the thesis is that the ‘difference’ in the political behaviour of the agrarian party in Victoria was the product of five related factors. First, the harsh farming conditions in the Mallee and Wimmera regions often led farmers to adopt more political ‘radical’ stances (especially over wheat marketing) than elsewhere in Australia. Second, Victoria manifested a very high level of anti-Melbourne electoral malapportionment during the period under review, which aided the Country Party. Third, the local Labor Party had a prolonged gestation and was particularly weak, being unable to form a majority government until 1952. Fourth, the Liberal/Nationalist/United Australia Party in Victoria was notably conservative and was heavily influenced by Melbourne financial and Western District pastoral interests. Fifth, all the Victorian parties (including the Country Party) were highly schismatic which helped produce an unstable political environment in which minority parties could exercise influence beyond their parliamentary numbers or their voter support.
