An Historical Account of the Ancient Culdees of Iona, and of Their Dear Reader, This book was referenced in one of the 185 issues of 'The Builder' Magazine which was published between January 1915 and May 1930. To celebrate the centennial of this publication, the Pictoumasons website presents a complete set of indexed issues of the magazine.

EDINBURGH: Printed by James Ballantyne & Company, • W HEN the autho~ engaged in this disquisition, it was not with the remotest idea of writing a book on the subject. His sole design was to col- lect a few materials, to be afterwards thrown to- gether, so as to form an article in a literary work, to which he had promised to contribute. But, from the contradictory assertions of learned and able writers, concerning the Culdees; from the variety of topics regarding their history or cha- racter, which demanded particular attention ; and from the indispensable necessity, in an inquiry of thi~ kind, of producing original authorities; he soon found, that it was in vain to think of giving any tolerable account of this celebrated society within the usual limits of an essay. Various dif- , iv l'REPACE. ficulties have occurred, indeed, in the progress of this investigation. But, in consequence of perse- vering in it, he has had the satisfaction of meet.. ing withfacts, which seem to have been formerly overlooked; and he flatters himself that he has been able to set some others in a new light. Although far from thinking that the work can be free from mistakes, he is conscious that he has done all in his power fairly to exhibit the testi- II mony of antiquity on this' subject. If it shall ap- pear to the candid reader, that the author has in t any measure elucidated this obscure, but import .. i ant, branch of our ancient history, he will not re.. gret his labour.

  • Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish History1
    The Scottish Historical Review, Volume LXXXV, 1: No. 219: April 2006, 1–27 MATTHEW H. HAMMOND Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish history1 ABSTRACT Historians have long tended to define medieval Scottish society in terms of interactions between ethnic groups. This approach was developed over the course of the long nineteenth century, a formative period for the study of medieval Scotland. At that time, many scholars based their analysis upon scientific principles, long since debunked, which held that medieval ‘peoples’ could only be understood in terms of ‘full ethnic packages’. This approach was combined with a positivist historical narrative that defined Germanic Anglo-Saxons and Normans as the harbingers of advances in Civilisation. While the prejudices of that era have largely faded away, the modern discipline still relies all too often on a dualistic ethnic framework. This is particularly evident in a structure of periodisation that draws a clear line between the ‘Celtic’ eleventh century and the ‘Norman’ twelfth. Furthermore, dualistic oppositions based on ethnicity continue, particu- larly in discussions of law, kingship, lordship and religion. Geoffrey Barrow’s Robert Bruce and the Community of the Realm of Scotland, first published in 1965 and now available in the fourth edition, is proba- bly the most widely read book ever written by a professional historian on the Middle Ages in Scotland.2 In seeking to introduce the thirteenth century to such a broad audience, Barrow depicted Alexander III’s Scot- land as fundamentally

Cowan EDINBURGH printed for the Scottish History Society by T. AND A. CONSTABLE LTD 1976 Scottish History Society 1976 SIO^MY^ c 19 77 ,5 ISBN 9500260 8 5 Printed in Great Britain PREFACE The Great Schism, which originated in a disputed papal election, has always been regarded as one of the most crucial periods in the history of western Christendom, and to this day that election remains the greatest unresolved controversy of the later Middle Ages. The stand taken by the Scottish nation throughout the Schism was particu- larly significant, yet, until recently, Scottish historians had explored only inadequately the original sources existing in the Vatican Archives. During the academic year 1961-2, the University of Glasgow awarded me a research scholarship with the specific aim of examining the letter-books, or registers, of one of the rival popes, and of noting systematically all the entries concerning Scotland. A microfilm of this source material is deposited with the Department of Scottish History. This project was instrumental in introducing me to the late Dr Annie I. Dunlop. It won her immediate and enthusiastic approval and she followed its progress with lively interest. Only a few months before her death, Dr Dunlop asked me, if I was still working hard for Scotland ! This Calendar of Papal Letters of Clement vn of Avignon relating to Scotland is the result of that work.

Of the coming of Columba into Britain. —Cursory View of his Life and Character.—To bt distinguished from Abbot Colum- ban.—Of the Island of lona.—Of the Druids.—The Doctrine of the Culdees, and their Mode of Living. From the preceding observations it must appear, that, even on the supposition that the primary mission of Palladius was not to Scols inhabiting Britain, Christianity had been re- ceived in the northern part of it long before the age of Co- lumba. The southern Picts being already converted, this o-ood man " came into Britain," as Bede informs us, " to preach the word of God to the provinces of the northern Picts." " He came, at the time that Bridius [otherwise Brudi,'\ a most powerful king, reigned over the Picts, and in the ninth year of his reign ; and converted that nation to the faith of Christ, by his preaching and example; on which he received from them the foresaid island [Hii] in possession, for the pur- pose of erecting a monastery." •Siquidem anno incarnationis dominicae quingeutesimo sexagesimo quin- to—venit de Hibeniia presbytei et abbas habitu et vita monachi insignis^ no- : 14 HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF Columba was a native of Ireland, and a man of distin- guished rank. He was indeed of the blood roj'al, being the son of Felini, the son of Fergus, who was grandson to the celebrated Niall of the nine Hostages, king of Ireland. His mother was Aithne, the daughter of Macnave. ' His pater- nal grandfather was Connal, from whom, according to Irish antiquaries, the district of Tirconnel took its name.

  • Excerpts from the Ancestors of Mcdonalds of Somerset by Donald
    Excerpts from The Ancestors of McDonalds of Somerset by Donald M. Schlegel used by permission II Carthend Pagan Life and Beliefs The pagan Celts of Ireland lived in a world of fear, from which the loving God was far removed, and in which they were at the mercy of monstrous spirits and arbitrary, insubstantial reality. They were people bound by unreasoned custom and superstition, for they thought that the world was full of hidden "traps" that were triggered by the violation of taboos. The power of the kings was rivaled or even eclipsed by that of the priests, who were called druids. The druids officially ranked next to the kings in social standing, but they usually exercised paramount sway, for no undertaking of any moment was begun without their advice. They were skilled in astronomy and healing; they practiced sorcery in the seclusion of oak groves, where their doings were hidden from the common people; and, through the power that they exercised over the whole society, they imposed upon the common people. The pagans adored a divine being (though not necessarily always and everywhere the same one) to whom they offered sacrifices and from whom they sought all blessings, temporal and eternal. Crom Cruach, the "prince" of all idols in Ireland, stood on Magh Slecht, the "plain of prostration" near the Gothard River, now in the barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan. This "plain" was a limestone ridge some 400 by 85 yards in extent. From the base of its eastern escarpment issues a strong, clear, and rapid spring, as if a river-god dwelt within his rocky halls beneath the ridge and poured forth this perennial fountain.

  • The Election of Cormac, Archdeacon of Sodor, As Bishop in 1331
    The Innes Review vol. 60 no. 2 (Autumn 2009) 145–163 DOI: 10.3366/E0020157X0900050X Sarah E. Thomas Rival bishops, rival cathedrals: the election of Cormac, archdeacon of Sodor, as bishop in 1331 Abstract: On 6 July 1331, two procurators arrived in Bergen claiming that Cormac son of Cormac had been elected bishop of Sodor by the clergy of Skye and the canons of Snizort. Their arrival is recorded in a letter sent by Eiliv, archbishop of Nidaros, to two canons of the church of Bergen ordering that there be an examination of the election in the cathedral of Bergen on 12 July 1331. Cormac’s election was contentious for three main reasons: firstly, there was already a new bishop of Sodor; secondly the right to elect a bishop of Sodor seems to have lain with the clergy of Man; and thirdly the king of Scots had the right to present the candidate to the archbishop of Nidaros. This paper examines the identities and careers of both Cormac and his successful rival, Thomas de Rossy, and the potential reasons for Cormac’s claim and its ultimate failure. Therefore, this study reveals some of the underlying geopolitical realities of the diocese of Sodor in the mid-fourteenth century. Key words: medieval; Scotland; Norway; Church; papacy; Hebrides Introduction In the early fourteenth century, the diocese of Sodor, or Sudreyjar meaning Southern Isles in old Norse, encompassed the Isle of Man and the Hebrides. Both the name of the diocese and its place in the ecclesiastical hierarchy were the result of Norwegian settlement and claims to the Hebrides and Man.

Email: [email protected] Adrián Maldonado, National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh EH1 1JF, UK. Email: [email protected] Iona was a major European intellectual and artistic centre during the seventh to ninth centuries, with outstanding illustrated manuscripts, sculpture and religious writings produced there, despite its apparently peripheral location ‘at the ends of the earth’. Recent theological discourse has emphas- ised the leading role of Iona, and particularly its ninth abbot, Adomnán, in developing the meta- phor of the earthly monastery as a mirror of heavenly Jerusalem, allowing us to suggest a new appreciation of the innovative monastic layout at Iona and its influence on other monasteries in northern Britain. The authors contend that the unique paved roadway and the schematic layout of the early church, shrine chapel and free-standing crosses were intended to evoke Jerusalem, and that the journey to the sacred heart of the site mirrored a pilgrim’s journey to the tomb of Christ. The key to this transformative understanding is Charles Thomas’s 1956–63 campaign of excava- tions on Iona, which this article is publishing for the first time.

  • Culdees Cohousing Ecovillage
    Culdees CoHousing Ecovillage About Culdees' Project Updated 26/02/2011 Dear reader A heartfelt and warm welcome to you. Our aim at Culdees is to create a caring ecovillage CoHousing community, at one with the natural environment – where life’s challenges are seen as opportunities for growth through learning. Within the following pages lies some information about Culdees, the people here and the work that they are involved in: What is going on at Culdees? There are a number of people from different walks of life who consider Culdees a home-from-home. Some live at Culdees on a long-term basis – in a tent in the field, or in one of the caravans. Volunteers, who are accepted, can stay for one month. After that they can apply for an extension, which will be decided upon by the elders. Who are we? The central character here is Reverend Mother Maryse Verkaik-Anand, an Universal Multi Faith Minister. Maryse says: I originate from Amsterdam in The Netherlands, where I studied Comparative Religion. I started my own business when barely seventeen, which grew to a 24-strong team. I married and after my two children were born, I gave this business to my colleagues and concentrated more on family life. My husband died when the children were still young, and I continued with his business. Later on, when I moved to Scotland, again I gave the business away to the workers. I moved into a thousand year old castle, eight miles from Culdees, where I lived for twelve years as a hermit in total silence -except when the children, their spouses and my four now-teenage grand-children came to visit.

It is proper to say, that the following pages were originally published in the Central Presbyterian ; and a desire being expressed for their issue in a more perma- nent form, they are republished almost exactly as they appeared in the newspaper.
