ETC I PREFACE. In presenting this Genealogy to the descendants of the Kincardineshire Branch of the Nicol family, I have to thank many members for their kind help in correcting the printed draft lately circulated. My thanks are specially due to the Rev. James Smith, B.D., of St. George's-in-the-West Parish, Aberdeen, for his diligent searchings of old Registers in Edinburgh, etc., and for his most kind and ungrudging help. With regard to the more ancient history I have been assisted by Skene's book, " The Highlanders of Scotland," published in 1837. This publication was awarded the prize offered by the Highland Society of London for the best History of the Highland Clans. Much of Skene's information was derived from MSS. the property of the Faculty of Advocates, Edinburgh, and in particular the MS. believed to have been written in 1450, and which has the date upon it— 1467. As errors may have crept in, I should be greatly obliged by their being pointed out to me. Should any new matters of interest in connection with the family be discovered, it is probable that a further addition of this Genealogy will be printed. W. E. Nicol. Ballogie, July, 1909. The Nicol family are undoubtedly descendants of the Macnical or Macn'icail Clan, who were descended from the ancient Gaelic tribe (the Northern Picts), the earliest inhabitants of the district of Ness, on the north-west coast of Scotland, off the Minch. Skene, in his "Table of the Descent of the High- land Clans," shows the Macnical Clan as one of the eighteen great clans. They were under the Maormor- ship or Earldom of Ness, Macnicol being Chief of the Clan. From Skene's account of the Macleod and Macnical Clans, it appears that on the death of the last Macnicol chief, his daughter and heiress married Torquil Macleod, a younger son of the Chief Macleod of Glenelg or Harris. By this marriage the Macleods acquired possession of Edderachylis, Duirnes, Assint, and Coygash, the lands previously owned by the Macnicols. There is little doubt that after the death of the Chief, the Macnicals lost adhesion, and ceased to exist as a clan. The Nicols to which this Genealogy refers came from the County of Sutherland. After frequent and severe fights with the Macintoshes, they, with others of the clan, moved southwards about 1600, many settling in Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire, others going as far south as Glasgow.

From a memorandum book kept by Dr. Wm. Nicol from 1 Jan., 1802 to 30 June, 1804, now in the possession of Sir Dyce Duckworth, some insight is got into his habits and character. He was evidently a very sociable, hospitable person, dining and supping out very frequently, whether accompanied by his wife or " not is not recorded. An entry often appears : Had company to dinner." He was fond of a game of cards, his losses or gains, varying from 6d. to 3s., are entered in 2J years he was a loser of Cs. 3d. He took much interest in county business, attending County and District Road Meetings, Excise and Small Debts Courts ; he was a Commissioner of Income and Property Tax, a Captain of Volunteers from 30 May, 1797 to 1 May, 1802, when the Volunteers were dis- charged, by order of the Lord-Lieutenant.

  • The Hillforts of Strathdon: 2004-2010
    The Hillforts of Strathdon: 2004-2010 Murray Cook Having worked across Scotland and Northern England for the last 15 years I can say without hesitation that projects with Ian in Aberdeenshire always filled me with joy and renewed passion and enthusiasm for archaeology: without him this project would not have taken place. Introduction In ‘ In the Shadow of Bennachie’ the RCAHMS survey of the Strathdon area, the hillforts (throughout the paper ‘hillfort’ is used as shorthand to describe an enclosure whether on a hill or not) of the area were classified into a six-fold scheme, according to size and defensive system recorded (RCAHMS 2007, 100-1). Of course, the information was gathered through non-invasive survey, and it is unclear how these classes related to each other, as their dates were unknown. Using the same criteria of size and defensive system, albeit with a larger data set Ralston ( et al 1983) proposed a different classification as did Feachem a generation earlier (1966). These conflicting classifications illustrate the essentially limited value of such attempts: without hard data they remain talking points to be reinterpreted once a generation. In order to further the debate - hard dating evidence from physical excavation is needed. In what some have described as naïve, The Hillforts of Strathdon Project was set up in an attempt to characterise and date the type-sites of the area, through a programme of key- hole excavation on the variety of enclosures in the area. After six seasons of excavations on nine enclosures with local volunteers and students, this paper briefly summarises the key results in chronological order and the general conclusions.

  • Mapping Farmland Wader Distributions and Population Change to Identify Wader Priority Areas for Conservation and Management Action
    Mapping farmland wader distributions and population change to identify wader priority areas for conservation and management action Scott Newey1*, Debbie Fielding1, and Mark Wilson2 1. The James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen, AB15 8QH 2. The British Trust for Ornithology Scotland, Stirling, FK9 4NF * [email protected] Introduction Many birds have declined across Scotland and the UK as a whole (Balmer et al. 2013, Eaton et al. 2015, Foster et al. 2013, Harris et al. 2017). These include five species of farmland wader; oystercatcher, lapwing, curlew, redshank and snipe. All of these have all been listed as either red or amber species on the UK list of birds of conservation concern (Harris et al. 2017, Eaton et al. 2015). Between 1995 and 2016 both lapwing and curlew declined by more than 40% in the UK (Harris et al. 2017). The UK harbours an estimated 19-27% of the curlew’s global breeding population, and the curlew is arguably the most pressing bird conservation challenge in the UK (Brown et al. 2015). However, the causes of wader declines likely include habitat loss, alteration and homogenisation (associated strongly with agricultural intensification), and predation by generalist predators (Brown et al. 2015, van der Wal & Palmer 2008, Ainsworth et al. 2016). There has been a concerted effort to reverse wader declines through habitat management, wader sensitive farming practices and predator control, all of which are likely to benefit waders at the local scale. However, the extent and severity of wader population declines means that large scale, landscape level, collaborative actions are needed if these trends are to be halted or reversed across much of these species’ current (and former) ranges.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.

  • Recovery of Human Remains at St Taran's and St Keith's Chapel, Taransay, Western Isles
    Recovery of human remains at St Taran’s and St Keith’s Chapel, Taransay, Western Isles Martin Cook and Mike Roy With contributions by Dawn McLaren, Ann MacSween and Kath McSweeney Overview A PROGRAMME of archaeological works was undertaken on Taransay, Harris, Western Isles (Figure 1), involving the removal of loose artefacts and a survey of the surrounding area. Artefacts including human bone were recovered from areas of erosion in the vicinity of cemeteries traditionally associated with St Taran’s and St Keith’s Chapels.1 Following particularly bad storms in January 2005, human remains were found to be eroding from a standing section below a cemetery traditionally associated with St Taran’s Chapel, Taransay, Harris, Western Isles (NGR: NG 0310 9914; Figure 1). Dr Mary MacLeod of the Western Isles Council collected loose material, and further identified five sites of interest which were under threat of coastal erosion.2 Although bones had previously been recorded in the area, the volume of eroded material led Dr MacLeod to contact Historic Scotland, and request assistance. AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned under the terms of the Historic Scotland Human Remains Call-Off Contract to undertake the 1 AOC Archaeology Group is most grateful to the landowner, Mr Angus MacKay for permission to excavate, for the use of accommodation and for ferrying facilities. Alan Hunter-Blair worked through horrendous conditions to complete the survey and excavation. John Gooder managed the project fieldwork while Ciara Clarke managed post-excavation works. John Barber provided helpful comments to the draft text. Advice was kindly provided by Dr Mary MacLeod of the Western Isles Council and Mr Patrick Ashmore, Head of Archaeology, Historic Scotland.
