  • Chapter 27 Our Lyon Family Ancestry
    Chapter 27 Our Lyon Family Ancestry Introduction Just when I think I have run out of ancestors to write about, I find another really interesting one, and that leads to another few weeks of research. My last narrative was about our Beers family ancestors, going back to Elizabeth Beers (1663-1719), who married John Darling Sr. (1657-1719). Their 2nd-great granddaughter, Lucy Ann Eunice Darling (1804-1884), married Amzi Oakley (1799-1853). Lucy Ann Eunice Darling’s parents were Samuel Darling (1754- 1807) and Lucy Lyon (1760-1836). All of these relationships are detailed in the section of the “Quincy Oakley” family tree that is shown below: In looking at this part of the family tree, I realized that I knew absolutely nothing about Lucy Lyon [shown in the red rectangle in the lower-right of the family tree on the previous page] other than the year she was born (1760) and the year she died (1836). I didn’t even know where she lived (although Fairfield County, Connecticut, would have been a good guess). What was her ancestry? When did her ancestors come to America? Where did they live before that? To whom are we related via the Lyon family connection? So after another few weeks of work, I now can tell her story. And it is a pretty good one! The Lyon Family in Fairfield, Connecticut Lucy Lyon was descended from Richard Lyon Jr. (1624-1678), who was one of three Lyon brothers who emigrated from Scotland in the late 1640’s. In 1907, a book was published about this family, entitled Lyon Memorial, and of course, it has been digitized and is available online:1 1 https://archive.org/details/lyonmemorial00lyon The story of the three Lyon brothers (Henry, Thomas, and Richard Jr.) in the New World begins with the execution (via beheading) of King Charles I in London, England, on 30 January 1649 (although the Lyon Memorial book has it as 1648).

  • Studies of an Aggressive Capercaillie Photographs by C
    Studies of an aggressive Capercaillie Photographs by C. E. Palmar (Plates 1-5) THE FIRST FOUR PLATES in this issue are all of a remarkably aggressive cock Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) which lived in a small wood near the top of Glen Lethnot, near Brechin, Angus, for at least four years up to June 1961. Each spring, from late February to the end of June, it would persistently attack all human beings, most other large animals and even any vehicles which entered its territory during the hours of daylight. The incident has been described in some detail by Jenkins (1962) and the next paragraph is a summary of the main points. This Capercaillie was the only male in the area. It was most aggressive inside the wood, which was some 35-40 acres in extent, but it also readily came out on to the road and a neighbouring grass field. Fortunately the place was very quiet and traffic infrequent, or the bird would probably not have survived as long as it did, for it many times attacked cars, land-rovers and post office and other vans, occasionally even landing on them. C. Crystal, the head keeper, could often summon it by calling or by sounding the horn of his land-rover. When attacking human beings, it would deliver quite hard blows with its wings and peck vigorously with its beak, sometimes even holding on; its nip could be felt through rubber boots. It was so aggressive in 1961 (more so than in i960) that it was necessary to hold it oft "with a forked stick in order to photograph it (plate 4).

  • Lifting Stones of Glen Roy)
    CLACHAN THOGALAICH GLEANN RUAIDH (LIFTING STONES OF GLEN ROY) The Clachan Thogalaich Gleann Ruaidh At first glance, these inconspicuous stones may not seem to possess the granite symmetry of the Inver Stone nor indeed the druidical quality of the Glen Lyon stone, however the location and indeed the history of theses stone are truly remarkable. Glen Roy is one of Scotland’s more famous remote Glens in respect that its geology proved the grounding for the proof of a Northern Hemisphere Ice age some 10,000 years ago due to its conspicuous “parallel roads”. These roads are in fact the shore markings of a glacial lake which formed behind a glacier of immense size and the markings are visited almost continually by Geologists continuing the study. To the Highlander of many years ago these road markings were simply the roads used by Fingal when hunting for deer on horseback. The Glen Roy stones are unique in that their location in Lochaber on the west coast mainland make them the first significant historical stones found in this area. Their uniqueness is also underpinned by the fact that Glen Roy was until the 1970’s, the last remaining mainland Glen where Gaelic was spoken by all its inhabitants. Sadly only a few remain and it is from this source that the stone was found. The knowledge of the stones is known only to the remnants of this community which has been passed down through generations by word of mouth. There is no written record which is perhaps the norm for those stones still to be found.

For more information go to www.snh.gov.uk/beavers-in-scotland or contact [email protected] Beavers in Scotland A Report to the Scottish Government Foreword Beavers in Scotland I am delighted to present this report to Scottish Ministers. It is the culmination of many years of dedicated research, investigation and discussion. The report draws on 20 years of work on beavers in Scotland, as well as experience from elsewhere in Europe and North America. It provides a comprehensive summary of existing knowledge and offers four future scenarios for beavers in Scotland for Ministers to consider. It covers a wide range of topics from beaver ecology and genetics, to beaver interactions with farming, forestry, and fisheries. The reintroduction of a species, absent for many centuries, is a very significant decision for any Government to take. To support the decision- making process we have produced this comprehensive report providing one of the most thorough assessments ever done for a species reintroduction proposal. Ian Ross Chair Scottish Natural Heritage June 2015 Commission from Scottish Ministers to SNH, January 2014 Advice on the future of beavers in Scotland SNH should deliver a report to Scottish Ministers by the end of May 2015 summarising our current knowledge about beavers and setting out a series of scenarios for the future of beavers in Scotland.

  • Circular Homesteads in North West Perthshire
    Circular Homesteads in North West Perthshire D.B. Taylor Abertay Historical Society Publication No.29 Dundee 1990 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many of those who began the groundwork of this investigation were or became members of the Abertay Historical Society, the Perthshire Society for Natural Science, the then Breadalbane Archaeological Society or the Crieff Society. They are too many to be mentioned individually but their contribution was invaluable and is gladly acknowledged. There are others whose names are unavoidably unknown to the author; they were mainly those who took photographs and drew plans at Queen's View. Apologies and sincere thanks are extended to them. Those who contributed from their specialist knowledge have been mentioned in the text and are also sincerely thanked. Grants towards expenses were received from the Society of Antiquaries, Scotland, for Litigan and from the Forestry Commission for Queen's View. These are gratefully acknowledged. Appreciation is also due to the Forestry Commission, especially the staff of the former Tummel District, for their co-operation and active assistance at Queen's View and for making it possible to visit sites in a number of other plantations. Miss Jean Comrie was present throughout operations at Queen's View except for the last year and, since she worked closely with Dr. Stewart, her clarification of doubtful points in the diary of activities and discoveries was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Similarly, Miss Lisbeth Thorns, Dundee Museum, who drew the major plan, offered crucial explanation on detail when the report was being compiled and thanks are also extended to her. Dr. John Bannerman provided salutary guidance on language questions raised in the last section of the report.

Joan Clark’s SACRED PILGRIMAGE SCOTLAND June 19-29, 2015 Eilean Donan Castle , Glasgow Scotland is a land full of ancient wisdom and magic. From Rosslyn Chapel to the elusive Isle of Skye and the Holy Island of Iona we will immerse ourselves in the alchemy of this sacred earth and breathe in all that it has to offer us on our own individual and collective pilgrimage. Here we take a deeper look at honoring the path of the Goddess with Mary Magdalene as our inner guide and teacher. Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye This is a pilgrimage, not a tour. It is a spiritual journey for those who are being called to awaken, ascend or simply listen to the voice within. There will be individual, as well as group rituals, gatherings and ceremonies, in which it will be important for everyone to participate. We will work with the Goddess Mystery School Teachings™ of Mary Magdalene and the sacred alchemy of scent and fragrance that has been used in temples and holy gatherings for centuries. Isle of Lewis Photo: Callanish Standing Stones, Isle of Lewis Joan Clark’s SACRED PILGRIMAGE SCOTLAND ITINERARY DAY ONE – FRIDAY, JUNE 19 – GLASGOW Our pilgrimage begins in Glasgow, coined “The European City of Culture.” Here the gritty atmosphere of Scotland’s largest city and bustling seaport, are interspersed with art, good food and the easy laughter of friendly passing Glaswegians.
