Meghan, Tom and manager, Sheila Munro Morag Ross Bremner Anne Weckman and her family arrived in to see us on the same day. Her ancestor was William Ross, son of Hugh (1598 - 1648). Anne’s research told her that William was the eldest son and had travelled to Stockholm in 1617. He moved to Turku in Finland about 1628 and then to Vaasa about 1630. We realised that this was the same William who is claimed by many hundreds of Finns as their ancestor; see our June 2014 newsletter: http://www.tainmuseum.org.uk/userfiles/file/clan_ross /Newsletter-June-2014.pdf.

New volunteers have joined old stalwarts to help greet visitors and make their experience a happy one as well as continue with the perpetual task of caring for the collection. Our staff and volunteers have offered talks and tours of the museum to local community and school groups as well as find ways to fund the continuing existence of the museum. We would like to thank all our visitors who, by buying an entry ticket, help us look after this wonderful and special collection. We are most grateful for the support of members of Clan Ross from home and across the world and acknowledge the continuing support of our local community. We will be selling calendars and Christmas cards at local craft fairs in the Duthac Centre, Parish Church Hall and at Balblair over the next few weeks and hope to see you at one of these events. Life in the Farmhouse in the 1940’s Elizabeth Mackay was interviewed by her daughter who shares Elizabeth’s memories of life in a local farmhouse during the 1940s with us. Elizabeth Airlie had no choice but to leave school at 14 despite being an excellent pupil. Farm workers families were generally large – there was no money to pay for further education. Elizabeth went to work at the farmhouse at Millcraig House near Alness for the owner Mr Andrew Ross and his sister Miss Joan. Elizabeth rose at 6.30 a.m. to light the range before breakfast. The day was spent cleaning the house – sweeping carpets, scrubbing the kitchen and dairy floors, looking after the ducks and hens, waiting on table and washing up and helping the farmer’s sister, Miss Joan, to do the washing and make butter, The maid had her meals in the kitchen while the farmer’s family took theirs in the dining room. After the evening washing up was finished Elizabeth was allowed one hour free time before going back to put the hens and geese in for the night, turn the beds down, and put water into bedrooms to drink. She was then allowed another hour off but had to be back by 10pm. She finished at half past two in the afternoon on two days of the week and went home to visit her family but returned at night ready for her duties the next morning. Wages were 30 shillings (£1.50) per month. Kirkmichael Project November 2017 Vol 4 Issue 1 Medieval Kirkmichael, by Udale Bay on the north side of the Black Isle, is now open every day nine to five. A year ago it was a derelict, dangerous ruin, but it has been transformed into a heritage gem by community charity, the Kirkmichael Trust. It achieved not one but two “Highly Commended” awards at the 2017 Scottish Heritage Angel Awards in Edinburgh. The chancel was built in the early 1400s and converted to a mausoleum after the Reformation in 1560, and it contains some marvellous memorials, including a beautiful and rare “doorway” memorial of the Urquharts of Braelangwell. The nave, converted into a mausoleum about 1800, now houses an extraordinary collection of ornate medieval gravestones of national significance. Balancing these pre-Reformation decorative stones is a fine example of the later protestant “symbol of mortality” gravestones of the 1700s. And outside in the kirkyard are the unusual mausolea of the Grants of Ardoch and Lady Ardoch, both painstakingly restored and rescued from dereliction. A guide to Kirkmichael, and guides to gravestones and burial practice in the Highlands, are available in paper form on site, and are downloadable from the Trust’s website www.kirkmichael.info, itself a massive local history and family history resource. Its lively Facebook page www.facebook.com/kirkmichaeltrust carries the most uptodate news about activities involving Kirkmichael. On site, attractive information boards are located unobtrusively, providing information when the visitor wants it but out of sight unless sought for. The buildings themselves are a delight to view, and are both a Scheduled Monument and Listed Building. In its beautiful location by the shore of the Cromarty Firth, Kirkmichael is truly a heritage site worth visiting. Text by Jim Mackay 3 Photographs by Andrew Dowsett News from Australia November 2017 Vol 4 Issue 1 Rita Bradd has been kind enough to send us news about Des Ross, Commander of Clan Ross in Australia, on the occasion of the arrival of his Pipe Banner dedicated to clipper ship “City of Adelaide”. Dear Editor Des is the highly esteemed Honorary Piper for the world-renowned iconic historic vessel built in 1864 to bring migrants to South Australia. Port Adelaide has the enormous good fortune and honour to have the ship, won in 2013 through the long-term dedication and efforts of a group of South Australian individuals known Virginia Ross as 'Clipper Ship City of Adelaide Ltd', over rival bidders, saving her from demolition in Scotland. In February of this year (2017) people gathered at the ship to admire the stunning new Pipe Banner designed to adorn Des’s pipes. Des proceeded to delight us with several tunes. He is flanked in the photograph above by Julia Whittle (in black), great-great Granddaughter of Scots born David Bruce, first Master, co-commissioner and quarter-owner of City of Adelaide, and on the right by myself, Rita Bradd, author. I have been involved with the clipper ship, also known as Carrick, former RNVR clubhouse in Glasgow and latterly at the Scottish Maritime Museum at Irvine, Ayrshire, since 2011. The ship was removed from Scotland in September 2013, renamed at Greenwich by The Duke of Edinburgh, fumigated and shrink-wrapped in Rotterdam, then loaded onto a heavy-lift ship as deck cargo. I joined the ship and accompanied “City of Adelaide” over 22,000 km from Rotterdam, via Norfolk, Virginia, USA; Cape Town South Africa and Port Hedland, NW Australia. I first met Des Ross when we arrived in Port Adelaide on 3 February 2014.

  • A Soldier Fights for Three Separate but Sometimes Associated Reasons: for Duty, for Payment and for Cause
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository The press and military conflict in early modern Scotland by Alastair J. Mann A soldier fights for three separate but sometimes associated reasons: for duty, for payment and for cause. Nathianiel Hawthorne once said of valour, however, that ‘he is only brave who has affections to fight for’. Those soldiers who are prepared most readily to risk their lives are those driven by political and religious passions. From the advent of printing to the present day the printed word has provided governments and generals with a means to galvanise support and to delineate both the emotional and rational reasons for participation in conflict. Like steel and gunpowder, the press was generally available to all military propagandists in early modern Europe, and so a press war was characteristic of outbreaks of civil war and inter-national war, and thus it was for those conflicts involving the Scottish soldier. Did Scotland’s early modern soldiers carry print into battle? Paul Huhnerfeld, the biographer of the German philosopher and Nazi Martin Heidegger, provides the curious revelation that German soldiers who died at the Russian front in the Second World War were to be found with copies of Heidegger’s popular philosophical works, with all their nihilism and anti-Semitism, in their knapsacks.1 The evidence for such proximity between print and combat is inconclusive for early modern Scotland, at least in any large scale. Officers and military chaplains certainly obtained religious pamphlets during the covenanting period from 1638 to 1651.

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.

  • Gravestone Symbols and Scottish Families!!
    GRAVESTONE SYMBOLS AND SCOTTISH FAMILIES!! By aaa, bbb, ccc Introduction . In this PowerPoint we will be talking about the Scottish families and death gravestone symbols. We would be very grateful if you held all your question till the end thank you and enjoy ☺☺ Clan Ross . Clan Ross is a Highland Scottish clan. The original chiefs of the clan were the original Earls of Ross. The ross logo is ‘success nourishes hope’ but nowadays people just say ‘success breeds success’ . Some castles of the ross clan are: Balconie castle, Shandwick castle and Hawk head castle. Their badge is a hand holding a juniper. Clan Munro . Clan Munro is a Highland Scottish clan. Historically the clan was based in Easter Ross in the Scottish Highlands. Traditional origins of the clan give its founder as Donald Munro who came from the north of Ireland and settled in Scotland in the eleventh century. The first proven clan chief on record however is Robert de Munro who died in 1369. The clan chiefs have always been seated at Foulis Castle and styled "of Foulis". During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the Munros feuded with their neighbours the Clan Mackenzie, and during the seventeenth century many Munros fought in the Thirty Years' War in support of Protestantism . The clan produced some of the finest troops from the highlands. Clan Mackenzie . The Mackenzies were of Celtic stock and were not among the clans that originated from Norman ancestors. They are believed to be related to Clan Matheson and Clan Anrias, all three descending from the 12th century Gilleoin of the Aird.
