Alexander Carmichael Dates and People ALEXANDER CARMICHAEL DATES AND PEOPLE This file records all dated material written by or relating to Alexander Carmichael, both in the Carmichael Watson collection and beyond. It includes transcriptions (marked T) and letters (marked L). A ‘T’ before the date means that a transcription was made on this particular date. A ‘(T)’ after a manuscript folio number signifies a transcription of original material, whether extant or not, apparently recorded on the date in question. Although almost all of the Skye material Carmichael sent to John Francis Campbell (JFC) is composed of transcripts, it is not clear how much of the corresponding material in the Carmichael Watson collection in Edinburgh University Library is in fact original. It should be stressed – as will be seen throughout the index – that all through his collecting career Carmichael was to say the least somewhat lackadaisical about recording dates accurately, with days, months, years, and on one occasion an entire century being misplaced. It should also be noted that Carmichael habitually uses ‘Faoilleach’ for the month of February rather than January. The index gives the reader an overview not only of what AC was doing, with whom, and where, on specific days, but also, if used in conjunction with the subject indices, should suggest how his interests changed during his collecting career. The CW number – for example, CW150 - represents an item in the Carmichael Watson collection. For citation purposes it should be prefixed GB 237 Coll-97 eg GB 237 Coll-97/CW150. Colours have been used to identify Carmichael’s field notebooks. It should be stressed that, especially with regard to his early years collecting in Uist, an item – especially a ‘neat’ item – written in a field notebook does not necessarily represent the original recording, and could well be written up from an earlier rendering. My thanks to the librarians and archivists in Canna House, Glasgow University Library, Edinburgh University Library, the National Library of Scotland, the National Records of Scotland, the National Museums of Scotland, and Strathclyde University Archives who have been so obliging, accommodating, and patient with our requests. Our thanks also to Alasdair Carmichael for his generosity in allowing me access to family papers; as well as to Ray Burnett for his kind assistance. coloured field notebooks: CW90; CW104; CW105 ; CW106; CW107; CW108; CW111; CW113; CW114; CW115; CW116; CW119; CW150 Abbreviations: AC: Alexander Carmichael CG: Carmina Gadelica EC: Ella Carmichael GUL: Glasgow University Library 2 H-B: correspondence from AC in Harvie-Brown Collection, National Museums of Scotland JFC: John Francis Campbell L: Letter MFC: Mary Frances Carmichael NRS: National Records of Scotland (previously National Archives of Scotland) NLS: National Library of Scotland T: Transcription TGSI: Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness 1832 1 Dec 1832 AC born in Taylochan, Island of Lismore 8 Dec 1832 OPR Births 525/0020 0050: AC baptised 1841 6 Jun 1841 Census 1841 525/00 004/00 005: AC with Hugh, tenant, and Betty Carmichael, parents, and brother Donald (b c. 1820) in Kilean, Lismore 1851 30 Mar 1851 Census 1851 525/00 002/00 023: AC as ploughman with Hugh, farmer of 25 acres, and Betty Carmichael, parents, and Alexander MacColl (b. c. 1845), scholar, visitor, in Killandrist, Lismore 1858 29 Dec 1858 National Archives, Kew, CUST 47/721, 3: AC, 2nd class assistant at Ayr, ordered to be 2nd class assistant at Perth 1859 3 Jan 1859 National Archives, Kew, CUST 47/721, 5: AC now to continue in Ayr collection 5 Nov 1859 National Archives, Kew, CUST 47/725, 54: AC, 2nd class assistant at Ayr, ordered to transfer to Dublin 2nd division as 1st class assistant 1860 7 May 1860 3 National Archives, Kew, CUST 47/727, 22–3: AC, 1st class assistant, Dublin collection, ordered to transfer as 1st class assistant to Bridgend, 3rd division, Argyle collection 1860 [as ‘1866’] CW244 fos.596–600: Margaret Douglas, Oa, Islay ?

  • History of Taynuilt Golf Club

Junior G.C. Angus, Arbroath G.C. There is some confusion concerning the spelling of the name of the golf club in Taynuilt. The name of the first club, formed in 1891, is shown as Bonawe in the Annuals, but newspaper items four or five Argyllshire, Acharacle years later covering its activities have it as Bonaw. The second club, whose course was opened in 1905, named as Bunawe and also, in newspapers, as Bonawe, but it appears to have lasted only a year as Campbelltown Hillside another course was opened in 1906. I also had difficulty with an accurate location of the courses, so the map locations are approximate.

  • Kintail Taynuilt, Argyll
    Kintail Taynuilt, Argyll 2 Modern Detached Residence built circa 1997 amidst a prime location which boasts a rustic outlook Oil fired central heating Detached residence Double garage Spacious/flexible interior Double glazing Elevated position with rural aspects EPC Rating: D59 Seldom available within the village Oban 12 miles . Glasgow 86 miles Offers in the region of £365,000 Kintail, Taynuilt Kintail is situated within the village of Taynuilt and enjoys views of the surrounding countryside. The property lies close to the southern shores of the Loch, which is one of the least explored and most historic sea lochs in Argyll. The loch rises in Glen Etive, which runs from Glencoe and is the scene of the tragic love story of Dalriada. In more modern times Loch Etive has, to a large extent, avoided the progress of the motor car and much of the loch is only accessible by sea. Primary schooling is well provided in the village with secondary level being undertaken in Oban. A local store, doctors surgery and post office sit at the heart of the village, which is well served by public transport to both Glasgow and Oban, Taynuilt being unusual in that it still has a railway station. The beautiful and historic seaport of Oban (approximately 12 miles to the west) provides further facilities and amenities. The town is the main Caledonian MacBrayne ferry port, with services to many of the Hebridean islands. Directions Travelling from Oban and the North, continue through the village of Connel after a distance entering Taynuilt turning right onto a small private road and Kintail is straight ahead.
