A Descriptive Guide to tlie District, witli Map of Badenoch. Kingussie Published by George A. Crerar, Bookseller and Stationer. mm} J Hi- Preface to Sixth Edition. In submitting a Sixth Edition of Crerar's Guide to Badexoch, the publisher begs to express his acknowledgments to the public for the cordial reception accorded to the booklet when first issued twenty years ago, and for the continued demand for it season after season as successive bands of visitors have made their appearance in the district. The Guide was originally written merely with the object of presenting in a handy form such information with regard to the principal places of interest in the ancient lordship, and the best means of reaching those, as strangers were likely to find convenient and useful. The present edition has been in part re-written, the old extended, history of out-lined matter revised and the Badenoch ; the leading topographical features sketched ; roads, paths, hills, rivers, streams indicated ; and the stranger told where are to be fo'und hotels, shops, post and telegraph offices, churches, banks, workshops in out-of-the-way situations, golf courses and other means of recreation, — and the efibrt has been attempted to present the varied information in the briefest possible form, so that the stranger may be enabled to make it his own with as little trouble as possible by reading as he runs through the country.

(Jnr^iA ADENOCH may justly claim that it enjoys the ^ r\M/¥^ distinction of having for many years occupied a very leading position amongst the most favoured summer and autumn resorts in the Highlands of Scotland. The main reason for this popularity, of course, lies in the unquestioned fact that the district is really a magnificent natural sanatorium 'twixt the Grampian and Monaliadh Mountains, the highest inhabited portion of the British Isles. There is every reason to anticipate that the favour acquired by the ancient lordship will increase rather than diminish as time goes on, in consequence of the ease with which, in these days of fast trains, it can be reached from the cities and populous towns in the south. And there are not wanting signs that this locality of Upper Speyside,

  • The Sinclair Macphersons
    Clan Macpherson, 1215 - 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson, 20 January 2011 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz Clan Macpherson, 1215 to 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their traditional Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson Introduction The Clan Macpherson Museum (see right) is in the village of Newtonmore, near Kingussie, capital of the old Highland district of Badenoch in Scotland. It presents the history of the Clan and houses many precious artifacts. The rebuilt Cluny Castle is nearby (see below), once the home of the chief. The front cover of this chapter is the view up the Spey Valley from the memorial near Newtonmore to the Macpherson‟s greatest chief; Col. Ewan Macpherson of Cluny of the ‟45. Clearly, the district of Badenoch has long been the home of the Macphersons. It was not always so. This chapter will make clear how Clan Macpherson acquired their traditional lands in Badenoch. It means explaining why Clan Macpherson emerged from the Old Clan Chattan, was both a founding member of the Chattan Confederation and yet regularly disputed Clan Macintosh‟s leadership, why the Chattan Confederation expanded and gradually disintegrated and how Clan Macpherson gained its property and governance rights. The next chapter will explain why the two groups played different roles leading up to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The following chapter will identify the earliest confirmed ancestor in our family who moved to Portsoy on the Banff coast soon after the battle and, over the decades, either prospered or left in search of new opportunities.

SOLD BY THE AGENTS FOR THE COURANT; AND BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. : ELGIN PRINTED AT THE COURANT OFFICE, PREFACE, Thu ''Morayshire Directory" is issued in the hope that it will be found satisfactorily comprehensive and reliably accurate, The greatest possible care has been taken in verifying every particular contained in it ; but, where names and details are so numerous, absolute accuracy is almost impossible. A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.

  • Scotland – North
    Scotland – North Scotland was at the heart of Jacobitism. All four Jacobite risings - in 1689-91, 1715-16, 1719 and 1745-46 - took place either entirely (the first and third) or largely (the second and fourth) in Scotland. The north of Scotland was particularly important in the story of the risings. Two of them (in 1689-91 and 1719) took place entirely in the north of Scotland. The other two (in 1715-16 and 1745-46) began and ended in the north of Scotland, although both had wider theatres during the middle stages of the risings. The Jacobite movement in Scotland managed to attract a wide range of support, which is why more than one of the risings came close to succeeding. This support included Lowlanders as well as Highlanders, Episcopalians as well as Catholics (not to mention some Presbyterians and others), women as well as men, and an array of social groups and ages. This Scotland-North section has many Jacobite highlights. These include outstanding Jacobite collections in private houses such as Blair Castle, Scone Palace and Glamis Castle; state-owned houses with Jacobite links, such as Drum Castle and Corgarff Castle; and museums and exhibitions such as the West Highland Museum and the Culloden Visitor Centre. They also include places which played a vital role in Jacobite history, such as Glenfinnan, and the loyal Jacobite ports of the north-east, and battlefields (six of the land battles fought during the risings are in this section, together with several other skirmishes on land and sea). The decision has been made here to divide the Scottish sections into Scotland – South and Scotland – North, rather than the more traditional Highlands and Lowlands.

  • Moy Estate Tomatin by Inverness
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 5.7 SOUTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE PLS Report No 20 AUGUST 2013 048/13 13/01180/S36 : CARBON FREE MOY LIMITED (CFML) MOY ESTATE TOMATIN BY INVERNESS Report by Head of Planning and Building Standards SUMMARY Description : Application to increase the potential generational capacity of the consented Moy Wind Farm from 41MW to 66MW. Recommendation - Raise No Objection Ward : 20 Inverness South Development Category : Section 36 Application – Electricity Act 1989. Pre-determination Hearing : Not Required Reason referred to Committee : 5 or more objections. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The application is to facilitate an increased power output from the 20 turbine wind farm project previously granted planning permission, on appeal, within Moy Estate. It offers a potential 66MW of generating capacity, an increase from the potential 41MW generating capacity associated with the approved scheme. 1.2 The application was submitted to the Scottish Government for approval under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. Should Ministers approve the development, it will carry deemed planning permission under Section 57(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The Council is a consultee on the proposed development. Should the Council object to the development, Scottish Ministers will require to hold a Public Local Inquiry to consider the development before determining the application. 1.3 As the application is not significantly different to the earlier planning application, the supporting information relies upon the Environmental Statement (ES) prepared for the planning application. In a similar way this report seeks to focus on the key differences between the applications and to update Committee on changes to those policy/material considerations relevant to the applications to help the Committee determine its position on the consultation from the Scottish Government.
