N COMUNN GAIDHEALACH, or The Hichland Association, has for the last sixteen years been doing brave pioneer work for Gaelic teaching, Gaelic literature and Gaelic music, with a comparatively small membership and little money at its disposal. It has organised this great FEILL or HIGHLAND BAZAAR for the double purpose of spreading a knowledge of its work and objects, and for raising a fund whicli will enable it to carry out its patriotic and useful programme in its eutirety. The contents of this book testify to the remarkable success which has attended the inaugural arrangements, and to the enthusiasm which has been evoked among all classes and conditions of Gaels, not only at home, but in the Lowlands, in England, in the Colonies and other over-sea lands. This book is a proof, if such were needed, how deeply rooted in their hearts is the love of land, language and race and how sympathetically the outside world regards that part of the scheme intended to assist in procuring remunerative home employment for the Highland people, a people who are the living representatives of the old Celtic population of Scotland, still dwelling on the classic soil and speaking the ancient and expressive tongue, a people whose qualities and worth have been handed down in song and story from the earliest times, whose loyalty and courage have been proved on many a hard fought field, and whose honesty, intelligence and courtesy place them to-day in positions of trust and importance wherever the white man's burden is taken up. Stress of circumstances, however, is causing theni in ever increasing numbers to forsake their native glens, some to settle in distant Colonies, others to be absorbed in the teeming and degenerate populations of our great cities. The Nation can 111 spare such as these By developing home employments, much is already being done, much more can yet be accomplished to supplemcnt their present precarious means of livelihood, and to assist them in earning a moderate contpetence, and so ensure the rearing of future generations among the wholesome happy surroundings of their native land. The late Father Allan Macdonald of Eriskay loved his people as few have done, and gave himself for them. They were poor people, many possessing but the barest means of subsistence, but he used to say, and he was surely right, he would sooner see them as they were in their rocky island home, innocent and unspoiled, happy and good, than possessing more comfort and luxury, along with the temptations and deteriorating infiuence of city life. It will not take long to peruse these pages, but there is scarcely a line which is not a record of strenuous work—there is scarcely a name whose owner has not freely given much time and trouble to one department or another of this many-sided Feill. All have worked together, shoulder to shoulder, inspired by one purpose, united in one aim, and they ask as their reward the whole hearted co-operation of every reader. Bazaars for various purposes are unfortunately always with us, but Feill a Chomuinn Ghaidhealaich is a unique undertaking coming but once in a lifetime. It afibrds an opportunity of shewing practical patriotism, and offers the privilege of working for Tir agus Teanga. It is hoped, therefore, it may in this year 1907 be given the precedence over all other interests and demands which are tugging at the purse strings and asking for time and attention. It is a National—an historical undertakìng. Let it then be worthy of our Country, our traditions, ourselves, and of our place as Scottish Gaels among the Nations. MARGARET BURNLEY CAMPBELL.

  • THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith
    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

  • 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.

  • International Journal of Scottish Literature ISSN 1751-2808
    international journal of scottish literature www.ijsl.stir.ac.uk ISSN 1751-2808 ISSUE FOUR, SPRING/SUMMER 2008 Editorial: Caribbean-Scottish Passages Gemma Robinson and Carla Sassi Making a way in the world In Scotland you can reach Guyana by taking the A81 north from Glasgow, or the A84 then A81 from the Crianlarich turnoff on the M80 Motorway at Stirling. Either way you’ll find Guyana – a garden centre in Aberfoyle, specialising in plants, garden arts and crafts sourced from around the world.[1] Robert, the owner, has visited the country before and chose the name as a way of keeping hold of the ‘rainforest connotation’ once back in a more temperate climate. He also recognises the shop’s curiosity value: ‘It would be like finding a shop called “Aberfoyle” in Georgetown, Guyana, although you’d be surprised at how many connections people tell you about’. Driving through Aberfoyle (population 576) on a Sunday afternoon, a Trinidadian, two Jamaicans and two Britons, turned a corner and saw this shop: it was a singular form of Caribbean-Scottish connection. What does it mean to track ‘Caribbean-Scottish passages’? Who is involved in making the passage between the Caribbean and Scotland, historically, culturally and politically? How can we understand the significance of these passages between nations, histories, art-forms, languages and literatures? These are some of the questions that animate this special issue, and the questions that our contributors pose and answer in the articles, art-work and occasional papers that follow. To think about the Caribbean and Scotland in the same horizon of vision is to recognise it as part of a shared world.

For over 300 years, whilst Scotland and England fought battle after battle, those living on both sides of the border made a living by “reiving” or raiding their neighbours’ property. They had their own system of laws and justice, and introduced new words into the English language, such as “bereaved” and “blackmail”. Their first allegiance was to their own family and their surname. Kith and Kin meant everything to them. Their enemies were not the English or the Scots, Chartered Accountants but any surnames at feud with them, no matter which side of the border they occupied. Do you have a Border Reiver surname? In 2019 Hawick Reivers Festival welcomes We’ll do the counting you to explore your family’s past with us here in the heart of reiving country.

You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/188518/ Deposited on: 20 June 2019 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Re-creating the clan: “Brotherhood” and solidarity at the Masters World Championship Highland Games James Bowness The Highland Games This chapter is based on data collected at the 2014 MWC event in Inverness. The broader aim of the study was to understand the experiences of Masters athletes participating in a sport that challenges common narratives of ageing men and women. In- depth semi-structured interviews were used with 19 Highland Games Masters athletes in the 8 months following the championships. Interviews involved the eclectic combination of life history, ethnographic and phenomenological approaches. An ethnographic approach was used to comprehend the processes of meaning making and ritual within the Masters Highland Games community (Hammersley, 2006). Participants in the study came from a variety of nations, with many claiming an ancestral attachment to the homeland of the Highland Games, Scotland. The migration of people from Scotland has been well documented, with emigration within the former British empire well known (Devine, 2011, 2012; Fry, 2014). From the 18th century, Scottish related associations germinated in Canada, the United States, New Zealand and Australia (Sullivan, 2014).
