A History of the Lairds of Grant and Earls of Seafield

THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work. -

Traces in Scotland of Ancient Water-Lines
TRACES IN SCOTLAND OF ANCIENT WATEE-LINES MARINE, LACOSTRINE, AND FLUVIATILE WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE DRIFT MATERIALS ON WHICH THESE TRACES ARE IMPRINTED AND SPECULATIONS REGARDING THE PERIOD IN THE WORLD'S HISTORY TO WHICH THEY MAY BE REFERRED, AND THE CLIMATIC CHANGES THEY SUGGEST BY DAVID MILNE HOME, of Milne Graden, LL.D., F.K.S.E. EDINBURGH DAVID DOUGLAS, CASTLE STREET 1882 SEUL AMD COMPANY, EDINBURGH, GOVERNMENT BOOK ANT) LAW PItTNTKRS FOR SCOTI.ASH. ANCIENT WATER-LINES, fto. INTKODUCTION. Attention has been from time to time drawn to the traces of sea- terraces, more or less horizontal, at various levels. These traces occur in many countries, especially in those bounded by the sea. Dr Chambers, in his "Ancient Sea-Margins," published in the year 1848, gave a list of many in our own country, and he added a notice of some in other countries. So much interested was he in the subject, that not content with a special inspection of the coasts, and also of the valleys of the principal rivers in Scot land, he made a tour round and through many parts of Eng land, and even went to France to visit the valley of the Seine. Dr Chambers had previously been in Norway, and had been much interested in the terraces of the Altenfiord, described first by M. Bravais. He, however, did not confine himself to Europe, — he alluded also in his book to the existence of terraces in North America, as described by Lyell and others. The subject was one which had about the same time begun to engage my own attention ; — as may be seen from references in Dr Chambers' book, to information he obtained from me. -

Report on the Photographs of the Sculptured Stones

GUXNING, F.S.A. SCOT. BY J. ROMILLY ALLEN, F.S.A. SCOT. In accordance with instructions received from the Council of the Society, I have been engaged during the past year (1893) in getting together a fairly representative series of photographs of the sculptured stones of Scotland with symbols and Celtic ornament, earlier than A.D. 1100. I confined my attention last year exclusively to the monuments in the northern half of Scotland, and I hope to complete the series for the southern half of Scotland before the end of the present year (1894). photographe Th beine ar s g procured chiefly -wit objece hth reproducf o t - theg illustrationin s ma forthcomine th r fo s g e Earlyworth n ko Christian Monuments f Scotland,o e Societye issue b th r thi o y t Fo sd b .purpos e only the best examples were selected from a large number of monuments.

THE ARMS OF THE ROYAL AND PARLIAMENTARY BURGHS OF SCOTLAND. BY JOHN, MARQUESS OF BUTE, K.T., J. R. N. MACPHAIL, AND H. W. LONSDALE. With 131 Engravings on Wood and 11 other Illustrations. Crown 4to, 2 Guineas net. ABERCHIRDER. Argent, a cross patee gules. The burgh seal leaves no doubt of the tinctures — the field being plain, and the cross scored to indicate gules. One of the points of difference between the bearings of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs on the one hand and those of the I Police Burghs on the other lies in the fact that the former carry castles and ships to an extent which becomes almost monotonous, while among the latter these bearings are rare. On the other hand, the Police Burghs very frequently assume a charge of which A 079 2 Aberchirder. examples, in the blazonry of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs, are very rare : this is the cross, derived apparently from the fact that their market-crosses are the most prominent of their ancient monuments. In cases where the cross calvary does not appear, a cross of some other kind is often found, as in the present instance. We are informed that in assuming this device no special allusion was intended by the authorities of Aberchirder ; we should therefore conjecture that the charge was obtained by some course of syllogistic reasoning such as — burghs have crosses : this is a burgh ; therefore it ought to have a cross. -

THE PATRON, JOHN ARCHIBALD DUNBAR DUNBAR, Esq., TOUNGER OF SEAPARK, THE DIRECTORS, AND MEMBERS FORRES MECHANICS' INSTITUTE AND LIBRARY, THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED. PREFACE The following chapters originated in a series of popular Lectures prepared at the request of the Mechanics' Institute of Forres, and delivered in that town, and in Nairn, Inverness, Invergordon, and Elgin. There was no intention of giving them, either a wider pub- licity, or a more permanent form; but the audiences in the several places having expressed a wish to see my manuscript in print—probably because they felt that the ear required the aid of the eye in following the details of the narrative, — it is now published. The sketch has grown somewhat in the reproduction, but the demands of a laborious pastorate have for- bidden any attempt to recast it in a more strictly his- toric form, or to bestow upon it a treatment worthier of the subject. Whatever its imperfections, I trust that, at the least, the men of Moray and Eoss Avill recognise it as a well-meaning, if feeble, attempt to keep alive the memory of men and of deeds that ought not to be forgotten by us.
