  • Introduction the Place-Names in This Book Were Collected As Part of The
    Introduction The place-names in this book were collected as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Board-funded (AHRB) ‘Norse-Gaelic Frontier Project, which ran from autumn 2000 to summer 2001, the full details of which will be published as Crawford and Taylor (forthcoming). Its main aim was to explore the toponymy of the drainage basin of the River Beauly, especially Strathglass,1 with a view to establishing the nature and extent of Norse place-name survival along what had been a Norse-Gaelic frontier in the 11th century. While names of Norse origin formed the ultimate focus of the Project, much wider place-name collection and analysis had to be undertaken, since it is impossible to study one stratum of the toponymy of an area without studying the totality. The following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below. It makes no claims to being comprehensive, but it is hoped that it will serve as the basis for a more complete place-name survey of an area which has hitherto received little serious attention from place-name scholars. Parishes The parishes covered are those of Kilmorack KLO, Kiltarlity & Convinth KCV, and Kirkhill KIH (approximately 240, 185 and 80 names respectively), all in the pre-1975 county of Inverness-shire. The boundaries of Kilmorack parish, in the medieval diocese of Ross, first referred to in the medieval record as Altyre, have changed relatively little over the centuries.

  • Residential Field Trip to Raasay
    Residential field trip to Raasay Friday 27th to Monday 30th April 2018 Leader: Dr Brian Bell Friday 27th April We drove to Skye in shared cars and boarded the ferry at Sconser for the twenty-five-minute sail to Raasay. By late afternoon the group had all met up at Raasay House where we would be staying. Saturday 28th April, am. Report by Seonaid Leishman When Brian Bell was asked by Maggie Donnelly to take a GSG excursion to Raasay it was clear that long notice was required, not only to fit in with Brian’s reputation and busy schedule, but because of the popularity of the main accommodation on the Island! We therefore had 18 months to build up high expectations – all of which were all met! The original Macleod house was burned following Culloden and rebuilt in 1747. Boswell, visiting in 1773 states, “we found nothing but civility, elegance and plenty”. Not much has changed. The Raasay House Community Trust has worked hard to set up the Hotel and Outdoor Centre in this elegant building. On the Friday we joined Brian and his colleague Ian Williamson at the House and had the first of many excellent meals followed by an introductory talk in the House library provided for our Group’s use. The Island has well exposed rocks ranging in age from Archaean Lewisian Gneiss, through Torridonian sedimentary rocks, Triassic and Jurassic including Raasay Ironstone and topped by Palaeogene lavas and sills. We would see all these exposures – however not necessarily in the right order! Saturday morning before breakfast photos were urgently being taken of sun on the Red Cuillins – this weather and view wouldn’t change all weekend! The Red Cuillins from Raasay House Brian then explained that because of the sun he wanted to skip sequence and NOT start with the oldest rocks, in order to ensure a great photo that morning on the east coast at Hallaig.

  • Scotland's First Settlers
    prev home next print SCOTLAND’S FIRST SETTLERS SECTION 9 9 Retrospective Discussion | Karen Hardy & Caroline Wickham-Jones The archive version of the text can be obtained from the project archive on the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) website, after agreeing to their terms and conditions: ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/resources.html?sfs_ba_2007 > Downloads > Documents > Final Reports. From here you can download the file ‘W-J,_SFS_Final_discussion.pdf’. 9.1 Introduction Scotland’s First Settlers (SFS) was set up to look for evidence of the earliest foragers, or Mesolithic, settlement around the Inner Sound, western Scotland. Particular foci of interest included the existence and nature of midden sites, the use of rockshelters and caves, and the different types of lithic raw material (including especially baked mudstone) in use. In order to implement the project a programme of survey and test pitting, together with limited excavation was set up (see Illustration 568, right). Along the way information on other sites, both Prehistoric and later was collected, and this has also been covered in this report. In Illus 568: SFS survey work in addition, a considerable amount of information on the progress. Much of the work changing nature of the landscape and environment has had to be carried out by boat been presented. Fieldwork has finished, data has been analysed. There will always be scope for further work (and this will be discussed later), but the first stages of the project have definitely come to a close. How well has it achieved its aims? 9.2 The major achievements of the project 9.2.1 Fieldwork SFS fieldwork was conducted over a period of five years between 1999 and 2004.

  • The Macraes of Strathglass
    CLAN MACRAE SOCIETY O F C A N A D A ONLINE THE MACRAES OF STRAT HGLASS by Peter A. MacRae Part I: INTRODUCTION Before setting out this brief history, it is important to set certain matters straight. First, consider the name and spelling of 'MacRae': the spelling used here, it is conceded, is the modern evolved version, which is ordinarily met with in most accounts since the turn of the century. It is the same family whether spelled 'McRae' or 'Macrae' which are the commonest Highland variants. It's simply a matter of style or custom. (The writer's own family has frequent occurrences of all three spellings) Outside the Highlands, the spellings '(Mc)MacCrae,' '(Mc)MacCrea' are often encountered. Sometimes the 'Mac/Mc' is dropped altogether especially where a migrant settled in an area hostile to Scottish culture, and the names (C)Rae, (C)Rea, Crow, Craw originated. In olden times the name was 'Mc' or 'MacRath' and in old Strathglass records it is found variously as 'McRa, McCra(e), McKray' amongst others since there was no standardised spelling into English from its Gaelic root. The Gaelic MacRath (pronounced 'MacCra') is not a patronymic. It is thought to have an ecclesiastical origin and is recorded in Ireland as far back as 448 AD. The patronymic of the main recorded branch of the MacRaes is 'MacGillechriosd 'or 'McGilchrist'. Translated this means 'son of the servant of Christ' or 'son of Christopher' which is broadly analogous to 'McRath' which means 'son of grace'. The patronymic occurs generally as a Christian name in the MacRaes although in Strathglass it was used as a surname both with and without the clan name.
