  • 1696 Hearth Tax, Aberdeenshire Residents
    1696 Poll Tax List for the North East of Scotland In the latter part of the 17th century, the Scottish economy was in poor shape. Among several unpopular taxes introduced during this period was the Poll Tax that imposed a tax on every person over 16 (14?) years of age and not a beggar. The list of persons in Aberdeenshire is supposedly the only complete county list in existence, and enumerates some 30,000 persons, although less than 100 of these are Brebner/Bremner individuals. I have transcribed the Brebner/Bremner and all variant spellings from the indexes published by the late Archie Strath Maxwell and found in the main public library in Aberdeen. The Aberdeen and NE Scotland Family History Society (ANESFHS) has a series of full transcriptions of many of the Aberdeenshire parishes available for purchase, and I would recommend these to anyone who has traced their ancestors back to this early period. Many of the 1696 parishes had different names and boundaries than their 19th century counterparts, although farm names are often continued through the centuries. In looking through the Brebner/Bremner entries for Aberdeenshire, I found it most interesting that some parishes in which the families were well represented in the 18th and 19th centuries had no entries in 1696. This suggests that the founding members of those families came from other parts of Aberdeenshire, or indeed from other parts of Scotland. Trying to match individuals in this population poll with corresponding births or christenings is hampered by the lack of Old Parish Registers for many of the under-mentioned parishes during that early time.

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall.

The geophysical surveys included a substantial gradiometer and a smaller resistivity survey that aimed to characterise and explore the extent and survival of archaeology around the Craw Stane Pictish symbol stone (NJ42NE 35) and two other symbol stone findspots. The results showed several discrete anomalies; one of these was targeted by a small-scale excavation and proved to be a burnt Middle Bronze Age timber structure.

    4. People of the Park 22 Brian Eno, artist and musician 23 People of the Park Key theme 3 The Park is a rich cultural landscape. Separated by the great bulk of the mountains, different areas have their own distinct identity and cultural traditions, but they share deep connections to the same environments. The Park is a place of ‘Mountain folk’ and ‘Forest folk’. The Park might be world famous for its mountains and wildlife, but the people who live here, and their communities and history, are just as important in defining its character and special qualities. The boulder fields of the high plateaux are the product of just rock, wind, water and ice. But nearly everywhere else in the Park is the result of a relationship between human beings and the land, sometimes over thousands of years. The environment dictates what people can do here – the way they farm, the houses they built in the past, the way they play. Those activities in turn have shaped the land, as people settled in towns, cleared trees to make ever bigger grouse moors, or planted them to feed the demand for timber in far-away cities. What happened here? These relationships between people and the Park are rich ground for interpretation. People relate well to stories about people, and to the common human concerns they illustrate. As they travel around the Park, most visitors will be struck by its distinctive buildings, some of them dramatic landmarks that beg questions such as, ‘What’s that?’, ‘Why did they build that here?’, or ‘What happened here?’.
