    t5^ %• THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY GAROWNE, COUNTESS 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.
  • Chapter 27 Our Lyon Family Ancestry

    Chapter 27 Our Lyon Family Ancestry

    Chapter 27 Our Lyon Family Ancestry Introduction Just when I think I have run out of ancestors to write about, I find another really interesting one, and that leads to another few weeks of research. My last narrative was about our Beers family ancestors, going back to Elizabeth Beers (1663-1719), who married John Darling Sr. (1657-1719). Their 2nd-great granddaughter, Lucy Ann Eunice Darling (1804-1884), married Amzi Oakley (1799-1853). Lucy Ann Eunice Darling’s parents were Samuel Darling (1754- 1807) and Lucy Lyon (1760-1836). All of these relationships are detailed in the section of the “Quincy Oakley” family tree that is shown below: In looking at this part of the family tree, I realized that I knew absolutely nothing about Lucy Lyon [shown in the red rectangle in the lower-right of the family tree on the previous page] other than the year she was born (1760) and the year she died (1836). I didn’t even know where she lived (although Fairfield County, Connecticut, would have been a good guess). What was her ancestry? When did her ancestors come to America? Where did they live before that? To whom are we related via the Lyon family connection? So after another few weeks of work, I now can tell her story. And it is a pretty good one! The Lyon Family in Fairfield, Connecticut Lucy Lyon was descended from Richard Lyon Jr. (1624-1678), who was one of three Lyon brothers who emigrated from Scotland in the late 1640’s. In 1907, a book was published about this family, entitled Lyon Memorial, and of course, it has been digitized and is available online:1 1 https://archive.org/details/lyonmemorial00lyon The story of the three Lyon brothers (Henry, Thomas, and Richard Jr.) in the New World begins with the execution (via beheading) of King Charles I in London, England, on 30 January 1649 (although the Lyon Memorial book has it as 1648).

It is the Commission’s duty to promote its conservation, but this can only be achieved with the co-operation, commitment and effort of all those who use and manage the land for many different purposes. The Commission has been involved with few environmental and social issues which generated so much discussion as the question of secur ing the protection of Scotland’s mountain heritage for the benefit, use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
  • Studies of an Aggressive Capercaillie Photographs by C

    Studies of an Aggressive Capercaillie Photographs by C

    Studies of an aggressive Capercaillie Photographs by C. E. Palmar (Plates 1-5) THE FIRST FOUR PLATES in this issue are all of a remarkably aggressive cock Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) which lived in a small wood near the top of Glen Lethnot, near Brechin, Angus, for at least four years up to June 1961. Each spring, from late February to the end of June, it would persistently attack all human beings, most other large animals and even any vehicles which entered its territory during the hours of daylight. The incident has been described in some detail by Jenkins (1962) and the next paragraph is a summary of the main points. This Capercaillie was the only male in the area. It was most aggressive inside the wood, which was some 35-40 acres in extent, but it also readily came out on to the road and a neighbouring grass field. Fortunately the place was very quiet and traffic infrequent, or the bird would probably not have survived as long as it did, for it many times attacked cars, land-rovers and post office and other vans, occasionally even landing on them. C. Crystal, the head keeper, could often summon it by calling or by sounding the horn of his land-rover. When attacking human beings, it would deliver quite hard blows with its wings and peck vigorously with its beak, sometimes even holding on; its nip could be felt through rubber boots. It was so aggressive in 1961 (more so than in i960) that it was necessary to hold it oft "with a forked stick in order to photograph it (plate 4).
  • George Washington Wilson (1823-1893)

    George Washington Wilson (1823-1893)

    George Washington Wilson (1823-1893) Photographically innovative and entrepreneurial in business, Wilson was the most notable, successful and prolific stereo-photographer in Scotland and perhaps the entire UK. Having trained in Edinburgh as an artist, he worked as a miniature portrait painter and art teacher in Aberdeen from 1848. He started experimenting with photography in 1852, probably realising that it could potentially supplant his previous profession. In a short-lived partnership with Hay, he first exhibited stereoviews in 1853 at the Aberdeen Mechanics' Institution. A commission to photograph the construction of Balmoral Castle in 1854-55 led to a long royal association. His photos were used in the form of engravings for Queen Victoria's popular book “My Highland Journal”. His best-selling carte-de-visite of her on a pony held by Brown (judiciously cropped to remove other superfluous retainers) fuelled the gossip surrounding this relationship. His portrait studio in Aberdeen provided steady cashflow and in 1857, to promote his studio, he produced a print grouping together famous Aberdonians, one of the earliest ever examples of a photo-collage. He soon recognised that stereoviews were the key to prosperity and by 1863 had a catalogue of over 400 views from all across the UK, selling them in a wide variety of outlets including railway kiosks and inside cathedrals. His artistic training helped him compose picturesque and beautiful images, but he was also an innovative technician, experimenting on improving photographic techniques, chemistry and apparatus, working closely with camera and lens manufacturers. He was among the very first to publish “instantaneous” views, ranging from a bustling Princes Street, Edinburgh to a charming view of children paddling in the sea, both dating from 1859.

    Lifting Stones of Glen Roy)

    CLACHAN THOGALAICH GLEANN RUAIDH (LIFTING STONES OF GLEN ROY) The Clachan Thogalaich Gleann Ruaidh At first glance, these inconspicuous stones may not seem to possess the granite symmetry of the Inver Stone nor indeed the druidical quality of the Glen Lyon stone, however the location and indeed the history of theses stone are truly remarkable. Glen Roy is one of Scotland’s more famous remote Glens in respect that its geology proved the grounding for the proof of a Northern Hemisphere Ice age some 10,000 years ago due to its conspicuous “parallel roads”. These roads are in fact the shore markings of a glacial lake which formed behind a glacier of immense size and the markings are visited almost continually by Geologists continuing the study. To the Highlander of many years ago these road markings were simply the roads used by Fingal when hunting for deer on horseback. The Glen Roy stones are unique in that their location in Lochaber on the west coast mainland make them the first significant historical stones found in this area. Their uniqueness is also underpinned by the fact that Glen Roy was until the 1970’s, the last remaining mainland Glen where Gaelic was spoken by all its inhabitants. Sadly only a few remain and it is from this source that the stone was found. The knowledge of the stones is known only to the remnants of this community which has been passed down through generations by word of mouth. There is no written record which is perhaps the norm for those stones still to be found.

It is the culmination of many years of dedicated research, investigation and discussion. The report draws on 20 years of work on beavers in Scotland, as well as experience from elsewhere in Europe and North America. It provides a comprehensive summary of existing knowledge and offers four future scenarios for beavers in Scotland for Ministers to consider. It covers a wide range of topics from beaver ecology and genetics, to beaver interactions with farming, forestry, and fisheries. The reintroduction of a species, absent for many centuries, is a very significant decision for any Government to take. To support the decision- making process we have produced this comprehensive report providing one of the most thorough assessments ever done for a species reintroduction proposal. Ian Ross Chair Scottish Natural Heritage June 2015 Commission from Scottish Ministers to SNH, January 2014 Advice on the future of beavers in Scotland SNH should deliver a report to Scottish Ministers by the end of May 2015 summarising our current knowledge about beavers and setting out a series of scenarios for the future of beavers in Scotland.
