The only comparable example of Georgian/early Victorian Gothic Architecture is the Westminster Houses of Parliament. David Walker, Emiritus Professor at the School of Art History at St Andrews University REGAL MAJESTY IN THE HEART of SCOTLAND Highland Tay Retreat is a total unique, luxurious and new-to- market property ownership opportunity, yet the foundations to this incredible project go back deep into Scottish history. Within Highland Tay Retreat lies Taymouth Castle - believed to be the most important Scottish castle in private ownership. The existing Taymouth Castle dates from the 19th century, but the first castle on the site was built in 1550 and was known as Balloch Castle. Taymouth Castle was a far grander building than its predecessor. It included a landscaped deer park, which has formed the basis for the 18-hole, championship length golf course that features spectacular views of the surrounding countryside including the peaks of the Lawers range, the gleaming waters of Loch Tay and the lush forest slopes of Drummond Hill. Final additions and alterations were completed in readiness for the honeymoon visit in 1842 of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Its public rooms are outstanding examples of the opulence and refinement created by the finest architects and craftsmen of the 19th century. The central building with its cloistered colonnade and corner towers dates from 1806 and was built by James and Archibald Elliot. Inside, Francis Bernasconi - acknowledged as the greatest designer of fine plaster work of the era - created a central staircase that soars 100 feet through all four storeys of the central tower and many of the ceilings were painted by Cornelius Dixon. When you visit the castle, you are immediately struck by the almost unimaginable magnificence. Now you can own part of the historic bricks and mortar of this legendary residence. FACILITIES The retreat’s 18-hole golf course was created in 1925 by famous designer and five time Open Championship winner James Braid in 1925. Braid designed similarly famous courses including Glenagles (host of the Ryder Cup in 2014) and Carnoustie. Now fully upgraded and open, the course is as challenging as it is beautiful. The River Tay, the longest river in Scotland and famous for its Atlantic salmon, runs through the grounds and makes for great fishing. This makes it the perfect location to achieve your very own ‘catch of the day’. Highland Tay Retreat will also feature a luxury spa and pool centre, equestrian centre, clay pigeon shooting and much more. Please contact us for a full list.

    250 SCOTLAND DELINEATED. the very name of Macgregor, and rendering the meeting of four of them together at one time a capital crime. Other enactments against them were occasionally renewed, and those proscriptions were in force until the eighteenth century. In 1715 occurred the "Loch Lomond Expedition," against the Macgregors, who, in defiance of the laws against them continued their marauding expeditions under the celebrated Rob Roy Macgregor, and were in reality public robbers. They had seized all the boats on the lake, invaded the island of Inch- Murrin, killed many of the deer belonging to the Duke of Montrose, and committed other excesses. A strong force of volunteers from towns in the counties of Renfrew and Ayr was sent against them to recover the boats, assisted by about one hundred seamen from the ships of war in the Clyde, commanded by seven officers. They sailed up the Leven, and were drawn three miles 4n the course by horses. The contemporary account quaintly states that when " the pinnaces and boats within the mouth of the Loch had spread their sails, and the men on the shore had ranged themselves in order, marching along the side of the Loch for scouring the coast, they made altogether so very fine an appearance as had never been seen in that place before, and might have gratified even a curious person." The Macgregors, however, had disappeared, and the volunteers returned to Dunbarton, after securing the captured booty, without any demonstration of their courage. The Leven is the discharge from Loch Lomond, and traverses the beautiful vale nearly six miles to the Clyde at Dunbarton Castle.

    “In all gudly haste”: The Formation of Marriage in Scotland, c. 1350-1600 by Heather Parker A thesis presented to the University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philsophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Heather Parker, March 2012 ABSTRACT “IN ALL GUDLY HASTE”: THE FORMATION OF MARRIAGE IN SCOTLAND, C. 1350-1600 Heather Parker Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Elizabeth Ewan This dissertation examines the formation of marriage in Scotland between the mid- fourteenth century and the late sixteenth century. In particular, it focuses on betrothals, marriage negotiations, ritual, and the place that these held in late medieval Scottish society. This study extends to the generation following the Reformation to examine the extent to which the Reformation influenced the marriage planning of wealthy Scots. It concludes that much of the social impact of the Reformation was not reflected in family life until at least a generation after reform. Scottish society and culture was influenced both by contemporary literature, which discussed the role of marriage formation, and by concurrent events involving high-profile marriages. These helped to define the context of marriage for society as a whole. This work relies heavily on the pre-nuptial contracts of lairds (the Scottish gentry) and nobles, which reflected certain aspects of their marriage patterns and strategies. The context and clauses of an extensive group of 272 Scottish marriage contracts from published and archival collections illuminate aspects of the formation of Scottish marriage, such as the land and money that changed hands, the extent to which brides and grooms were influenced by their kin, and the timelines for betrothals.

  • Griogal Cridhe’ Aspects of Transmission in the Lament for Griogair Ruadh Mac Griogair of Glen Strae V
    ‘Griogal Cridhe’ Aspects of Transmission in the Lament for Griogair Ruadh Mac Griogair of Glen Strae V. S. BLANKENHORN ABSTRACT With the advent of Tobar an Dualchais (www.tobarandualchais.co.uk), the online trove of materials recorded from oral tradition during the last century and held by the National Trust for Scotland, the BBC, and the sound archive of the School of Scottish Studies, it has become easier to integrate study of published and manuscript versions of traditional materials – most of which date from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – with more recent orally-transmitted versions of the same materials. Such study has the potential to help us understand the workings of oral transmission over time, to evaluate the printed and manuscript sources of an earlier day, and to understand the complex inter- relationship between written and orally-transmitted traditional materials in the Gàidhealtachd itself.

Lyons © 2019 Carys Atlanta O’Neill ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the visibility of women in traditionally masculine Scottish national narratives as evidenced by their physical representation, or lack thereof, in the cultural heritage landscape. Beginning with the 1707 Act of Union between Scotland and England, a moment cemented in history, literature, and popular memory as the beginning of a Scottish rebirth, this thesis traces the evolution of Scottish national identity and the tropes employed for its assertion to paint a clearer picture of the power of strategic selectivity and the effects of sacrifice in the process of community definition.

    THE LAIRDS AND LANDS OF LOCH TAYSIDE. I'bSMK-t THE LAIRDS AND LANDS OF LOCH TAYSIDE By JOHN CHRISTIE. Aberfeldy : Duncan Cameron & Son. 1892. PREFATORY NOTE. Most of the following articles have appeared elsewhere at various times. They are now issued in a more complete and convenient form. The Glossary has been specially prepared by the Reverend John Maclean, Minister of Grantully. Bolfracks Cottage, Aberfeldy, 1892. ERRATUM.

T is said that when Sir Colin Campbell, the sixth laird of Glenorchy, built the Castle of Balloch at the extreme east end of his property, he intended that it should ultimately be the centre of his domain—that his lands should extend as far to the east as they did to the west. His territory, however, did not stretch in one unbroken line to the west, as is the case with his descendant at the present day, for the lairds of Weem and Strowan owned lands on Loch Tayside, and the chiefs of Macnab held a considerable portion of Glendochart. The Castle of Balloch is supposed to have been founded in 1 1570, but fully a century prior to that the Glenorchy Campbells had established a firm footing in Perthshire. Sir Colin Campbell, the first laird, and founder of the family, was possessed of the ruling principle which became a characteristic with his descendants. His patrimony lay on Lochaweside and in Glenorchy, but it was not long before he was in a position to exclaim : "It's a far cry to Lochawe." He was four times married, and by two of his wives he came into substantial "tochers" in the shape of land in different parts of the country.
