THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

  • Historical Notes on Some Surnames and Patronymics Associated with the Clan Grant

    Historical Notes on Some Surnames and Patronymics Associated with the Clan Grant

    Historical Notes on Some Surnames and Patronymics Associated with the Clan Grant Introduction In 1953, a little book entitled Scots Kith & Kin was first published in Scotland. The primary purpose of the book was to assign hundreds less well-known Scottish surnames and patronymics as ‘septs’ to the larger, more prominent highland clans and lowland families. Although the book has apparently been a commercial success for over half a century, it has probably disseminated more spurious information and hoodwinked more unsuspecting purchasers than any publication since Mao Tse Tung’s Little Red Book. One clue to the book’s lack of intellectual integrity is that no author, editor, or research authority is cited on the title page. Moreover, the 1989 revised edition states in a disclaimer that “…the publishers regret that they cannot enter into correspondence regarding personal family histories” – thereby washing their hands of having to defend, substantiate or otherwise explain what they have published. Anyone who has attended highland games or Scottish festivals in the United States has surely seen the impressive lists of so-called ‘sept’ names posted at the various clan tents. These names have also been imprinted on clan society brochures and newsletters, and more recently, posted on their websites. The purpose of the lists, of course, is to entice unsuspecting inquirers to join their clan society. These lists of ‘associated clan names’ have been compiled over the years, largely from the pages of Scots Kith & Kin and several other equally misleading compilations of more recent vintage. When I first joined the Clan Grant Society in 1977, I asked about the alleged ‘sept’ names and why they were assigned to our clan.
