    The Sinclair Macphersons

    Clan Macpherson, 1215 - 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson, 20 January 2011 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz Clan Macpherson, 1215 to 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their traditional Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson Introduction The Clan Macpherson Museum (see right) is in the village of Newtonmore, near Kingussie, capital of the old Highland district of Badenoch in Scotland. It presents the history of the Clan and houses many precious artifacts. The rebuilt Cluny Castle is nearby (see below), once the home of the chief. The front cover of this chapter is the view up the Spey Valley from the memorial near Newtonmore to the Macpherson‟s greatest chief; Col. Ewan Macpherson of Cluny of the ‟45. Clearly, the district of Badenoch has long been the home of the Macphersons. It was not always so. This chapter will make clear how Clan Macpherson acquired their traditional lands in Badenoch. It means explaining why Clan Macpherson emerged from the Old Clan Chattan, was both a founding member of the Chattan Confederation and yet regularly disputed Clan Macintosh‟s leadership, why the Chattan Confederation expanded and gradually disintegrated and how Clan Macpherson gained its property and governance rights. The next chapter will explain why the two groups played different roles leading up to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The following chapter will identify the earliest confirmed ancestor in our family who moved to Portsoy on the Banff coast soon after the battle and, over the decades, either prospered or left in search of new opportunities.

SOLD BY THE AGENTS FOR THE COURANT; AND BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. : ELGIN PRINTED AT THE COURANT OFFICE, PREFACE, Thu ''Morayshire Directory" is issued in the hope that it will be found satisfactorily comprehensive and reliably accurate, The greatest possible care has been taken in verifying every particular contained in it ; but, where names and details are so numerous, absolute accuracy is almost impossible. A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.

  • An Talla Solais

    An Talla Solais

    engage Scotland – Go & See funding report An Talla Solais An Talla Solais, Ullapool An Talla Solais is a community-led art centre in Ullapool on the northwest coast of Scotland. It hosts a wide range of exhibitions of contemporary art; runs classes, courses and events to enable people to connect with art; and offers studio space to artists and groups. Summary Sara Garnett (Events and Audience Development Coordinator), Sian Curley (Marketing Coordinator), Rachel Grant (Exhibitions Coordinator) and Joanna Wright (Manager) from An Talla Solais, (ATS), used the Go & See Grant to visit four arts organisations in the North East of Scotland: Northlands Glass (Lybster), Timespan (Helmsdale), Scottish Sculpture Workshop and Deveron Arts (Huntly). As An Talla Solais approached its tenth year, the organisation felt that it was important to review its practice relating to issues of access, equality and diversity, and that it would be useful to see how other practitioners in the North of Scotland address these issues. The four places visited have very different remits. Northlands Glass is a centre of excellence for glass making with regular artist residencies, masterclasses and symposia. Timespan is a heritage and arts centre with regular contemporary art exhibitions. The Scottish Sculpture Workshop has a range of sculpture facilities including a bronze foundry, iron foundry, ceramics studio and wood studio. Deveron Arts is a gallery without walls which uses Huntly as a site for a range of socially-engaged art practice. The group visited with the intention of finding out more about how this wide range of organisations deal with practical access issues of language and disabilities, and how interpretational methods engage visitors with exhibitions and events.
