Destination Information Boat of Garten Boat of Garten is a small village ideally located on the banks of the River Spey, right on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park. The village directly owes its existence, and name, to the railway. Cairngorms National Park incorporates the largest mountainscape in the United Kingdom, as important as a quarter of Scotland's native woodland. The River Spey is renowned for being a top fishing spot. The Belmond Royal Scotsman : Scotland's Classic Splendours(© www.palacetours.com) 2/11 Dundee Once heavily industrialized, Dundee is now developing exciting commercial, cultural, artistic, and scientific dimensions to take it forward into the 21st century. The city centre is a shoppers' paradise with the Murraygate, Wellgate and the magnificent glass- fronted Overgate shopping centers housing major department stores and retailers to suit all interests. Look out for City Quay, on the Dundee waterfront, where factory outlets aim to guarantee designer labels at low prices. The city's burgeoning cultural quarter is home to highly regarded Dundee Rep Theatre and Dundee Contemporary Arts centre while elsewhere visitors can enjoy an impressive range of galleries and museums covering a wealth of subjects. Even before its Victorian heyday, Dundee was an important centre and the city proudly remembers its long sea-faring and industrial heritage with the textile heritage centre at Verdant Works, Europe's Top Industrial Museum in 1999 while just across the city centre, on the bank of the River Tay, Captain Scott's famous Antarctic expedition ship RRS 'Discover' is berthed at the award-winning Discovery Point Visitor Centre. Edinburgh As the capital city of Scotland, Edinburgh is a dynamic city offering two distinct sides: the medieval Old Town, where visitors can enjoy the well maintained architecture, and the New Town, offering classical Georgian architecture. Today, Edinburgh has grown into a major cultural centre, full of activities and events. The city's Castle proudly dominates the Scottish capital. There are one thousand years of history sitting on the top of the famous rock. Discover Princes Street, Scotland's greatest thoroughfare, where locals and visitors can enjoy numerous shops, restaurants and most of all, the spectacular panorama of the Old Town and the stately castle. Keith Located in Moray on the Speyside Whisky Trail, Keith is an agricultural town situated on the River Isla, which came into existence in the 8th century. The town is today an important stop on the Speyide Malt Whisky Trail, with the Strathisla Distillery as its main attraction. Dating from 1786, Strathisla Distillery is the oldest working distillery in Scotland. As part of the Scottish heritage, the distillery activity is still a landmark of the city, and Keith and its near area offer four distilleries to visit. The town is made of two parts: the "Old Keith" which lies on the west side of the river and the "New Keith" on the east bank of the River Isla. The New Keith is a much larger settlement, set out in a very distinctive grid pattern. Until today, the textile industry has remained an important source of wealth for Keith. The Isla Bank Mills were a centre for the tweed industry until the 1990s. Visitors can discover the Keith Kilt School, a unique school where students are being taught the art of kilt making. The Scottish Tartans Museum is also a very interesting attraction. Kyle of Lochalsh Visitors heading for the Isle of Skye will pass through Kyle of Lochalsh, from where the Skye Bridge traverses Inner Sound to Kyleakin. The bridge, opened on 16 October 1995, is a box-girder type with an approach viaduct and secondary bridge. The two piers' main span is 250 metres, and side spans 125 metres each, plus a 70-metre long viaduct and a secondary bridge spanning 26 metres. It has a controversial history, costing £30 million to build and did hold the dubious distinction of Europe's most expensive toll bridge. The toll was removed in December 2004 after much vigorous protest from islanders. Plockton Plockton is a village in the Highlands of Scotland. It is a picturesque settlement on the shores of Loch Carron and a popular tourist resort. It faces east, away from the prevailing winds, which together with the North Atlantic Drift gives it a mild climate allowing palm-like cabbage trees to grow. Most of its houses date from the 18th and 19th centuries. It was a planned community based on fishing in an attempt to stem the tide of emigration from the Highlands. Nearby is Duncraig Castle, a 19th century stately home built by the Matheson family, and now owned by the extended Dobson family who are in the process of renovating The Belmond Royal Scotsman : Scotland's Classic Splendours(© www.palacetours.com) 3/11 it.

  • Strathcarron Project Supporting the Howard Doris Centre
    Looking towards AttadalePhoto by by PeterPeter Teago AN CARRANNACH The General Interest Magazine of Lochcarron, Shieldaig, Applecross, Kishorn, Torridon & Kinlochewe Districts NO: 367 August 2018 £1.00 “Walking to the Island” and other poems. by Alan MacGillivray "Walking to the Island” is a collection of poems which, in the author’s own words, is “A poetic evocation of boyhood summer holidays in the Wester Ross village of Lochcarron in the years during and just after the second world war.” This modest description, found on the back cover of the book, is accurate enough to whet the appetite of anyone who might casually pick it up for inspection, but fails to do justice to the scope and range of the work found within its covers. “Walking to the Island” is itself a sequence of poems and prose poetry, by turns nostalgic, celebratory, descriptive and elegiac, the totality of which is considerably more than the sum of any of its constituent parts. These are poems, which, like a good malt “uisge beatha”, which in a way they resemble, need to be savoured slowly and appreciatively. Their memories, observation, humour, wit and wisdom a complex and heady distillation of experience matured over time, and served up here in verse, which has style and variety sufficient to maintain the reader’s interest over the course of the “journey”, a journey both back in time, but also into the heart and soul of a community and culture. There is the occasional flash of anger, and overall a sense of sadness entirely in keeping with the book’s dedication to the author’s late brother James MacGillivray of affectionate memory in these parts.

  • 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.

Xonoon GIBBINGS & COY., LTD., 18 Bury Street, w.c. 190 0. TO Sir KENNETH MATHESON, Bart. OF LOCHALSH, A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE, BRAVE, AND STALWART OF HIGHLAND FAMILIES. PREFACE. The first edition of the late Mr Mackenzie's "History of the Mathesons" appeared in 1882, and the book has now been long out of print. Mr Mackenzie had a difficult task in writing this work, for though the Clan in the 14th century undoubtedly rivalled in position and power the neighbouring Mackenzies, yet through the action of the Macdonalds in the following century its unity was broken, and it became a " minor clan," with no charters, and with no references thereto in public documents. The individual history of the Northern Clans at best begins with the 15th century, but here Mr Mackenzie had only the clan traditions to avail himself of until the 17th century, when the minor clans all over the North come into the light of history from under the shadow of the larger clans and their chiefs.

Un- fortunately there is neither a Carnegie nor a Strathcona to take an interest in Gaelic literature. 7th DECEMBER, 1905. On this evening the following paper from the pen of the Rev. C. M. Robertson, Strontian, was read: FOLK-LORE FROM THE WEST OF ROSS-SHIRE. The following examples of the folk-lore of the West of the County of Ross and Cromarty have been collected during the years 1900 to 1904. Many, perhaps most, of them can lay little claim to novelty, but they supply evidence of the inclu- sion of this district in their area of distribution. They have been gathered almost wholly in Lochcarron, Kenlochewe, and, more especially, Torridon and Little Lochbroom. The two latter are the less and less known places among " frequented parts of the district. In Gairloch : Its Records, Traditions, Inhabitants, and Natural History," by Mr J. H. Dixon, a book whose high merits are well known, the folk-lore of that parish is well represented, and much of what comes under one or other of the sub-divisions of Folk- lore has found a place in various volumes of our Society's Transactions. Most of what is contained in the follow- ing pages belongs to the special division of Superstition. Of folk-lore matter noted, topographical sayings, communal nicknames and proverbs are not given. The last named, for the most part, are already known. Rhymes and sayings about places are plentiful. One that is said to have been uttered by Kenneth Odhar on first seeing the mountains named, is Beinn Eighe 's Beinn an Eoin, Beinn mhor a' Chearcaill duibh ; Liathach 's a mac air a muin, 'S mairg air an tuiteadh an sac Ann am bac moine.

During these visits I devoted my time to the examination, in various areas, of sections which seemed likely to furnish evidence confirmatory or otherwise of the views which I had ventured to lay before the Society. In this paper I propose to give the general results obtained from these examinations, and to treat more fully those sections which appear to offer any conclusive evidence. In each of the areas examined I made large collections of rock-specimens ; and numerous thin sections for examination with the microscope have been made from these rocks, and submitted for special examination to Prof.
