  • The Dewars of St. Fillan
    History of the Clan Macnab part five: The Dewars of St. Fillan The following articles on the Dewar Sept of the Clan Macnab were taken from several sources. No attempt has been made to consolidate the articles; instead they are presented as in the original source, which is given at the beginning of each section. Hence there will be some duplication of material. David Rorer Dewar means roughly “custodian” and is derived from the Gallic “Deoradh,” a word originally meaning “stranger” or “wanderer,” probably because the person so named carried St. Fillan’s relics far a field for special purposes. Later, the meaning of the word altered to “custodian.” The relics they guarded were the Quigrich (Pastoral staff); the Bernane (chapel Bell), the Fergy (possibly St. Fillan’s portable alter), the Mayne (St. Fillan’s arm bone), the Maser (St. Fillan’s manuscript). There were, of course other Dewars than the Dewars of St. Fillan and the name today is most familiar as that of a blended scotch whisky produced by John Dewar and Sons Ltd St. Fillan is mentioned in the Encyclopedia Britannica, 14th edition of 1926, as follows: Fillan, Saint or Faelan, the name of two Scottish saints, of Irish origin, whose lives are of a legendary character. The St. Fillan whose feast is kept on June 20 had churches dedicated to him at Ballyheyland, Queen’s county, Ireland, and at Loch Earn, Perthshire (see map of Glen Dochart). The other, who is commerated on January 9, was specially venerated at Cluain Mavscua in County Westmeath, Ireland. Also beginning about the 8th or 9th century at Strathfillan, Perthshire, Scotland, where there was an ancient monastery dedicated to him.

  • The River Tay - Its Silvery Waters Forever Linked to the Picts and Scots of Clan Macnaughton
    THE RIVER TAY - ITS SILVERY WATERS FOREVER LINKED TO THE PICTS AND SCOTS OF CLAN MACNAUGHTON By James Macnaughton On a fine spring day back in the 1980’s three figures trudged steadily up the long climb from Glen Lochy towards their goal, the majestic peak of Ben Lui (3,708 ft.) The final arête, still deep in snow, became much more interesting as it narrowed with an overhanging cornice. Far below to the West could be seen the former Clan Macnaughton lands of Glen Fyne and Glen Shira and the two big Lochs - Fyne and Awe, the sites of Fraoch Eilean and Dunderave Castle. Pointing this out, James the father commented to his teenage sons Patrick and James, that maybe as they got older the history of the Clan would interest them as much as it did him. He told them that the land to the West was called Dalriada in ancient times, the Kingdom settled by the Scots from Ireland around 500AD, and that stretching to the East, beyond the impressively precipitous Eastern corrie of Ben Lui, was Breadalbane - or upland of Alba - part of the home of the Picts, four of whose Kings had been called Nechtan, and thus were our ancestors as Sons of Nechtan (Macnaughton). Although admiring the spectacular views, the lads were much more keen to reach the summit cairn and to stop for a sandwich and some hot coffee. Keeping his thoughts to himself to avoid boring the youngsters, and smiling as they yelled “Fraoch Eilean”! while hurtling down the scree slopes (at least they remembered something of the Clan history!), Macnaughton senior gazed down to the source of the mighty River Tay, Scotland’s biggest river, and, as he descended the mountain at a more measured pace than his sons, his thoughts turned to a consideration of the massive influence this ancient river must have had on all those who travelled along it or lived beside it over the millennia.

  • Chapter Eight the Stones of the Southern Highlands
    Chapter Eight The Stones of the Southern Highlands Moving on from the stones of the Lowlands and the Southern Uplands, the last stone encountered, the Wallace Putting Stone could easily have been included in this section and certainly when standing on Sheriffmuir, the expanse of the Southern Highlands to the north are so close and almost tangible. There are no distinguishing boundaries for the stones in this section and as a base either the towns of Callander or Aberfeldy should be considered. All but one of the stones are located in the ancient county of Perthshire although some through boundary changes are now in Stirlingshire but regardless, in the days when the Gaelic was spoken and stones were lifted this was entirely Perthshire. The majority of these stones are hemmed in by one of the major trunk roads to the Highlands and the A9 gives access to many of the stones mentioned. If making a tour of the stones, and including the Wallace Putting Stone, an almost oval loop allows testing them all within a day without too much travelling by car. From the Wallace Putting Stone it is 40 mins to the Sadlin Mare and then less than 30 mins to the Menzies Stone. From here it is 30 mins to the famed Bodach in Glen Lyon and 60 mins later the Ardvorlich Stone followed by a short 15 min drive to Balquhidder for the Puterach. This circuit, which has now been carried out on a more than a few occasions has been referred to as the “Perthshire Loop” and any stone lifting visit to Scotland would probably commence on the same lines.

  • Strathyre and Loch Earn
    STRATHYRE AND LOCH EARN SPECIAL QUALITIES OF BREADALBANE STRATHYRE & LOCH EARN Key Features Small flats strips of farmland around watercourses Open upland hills Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’Chroin Loch Lubnaig and Loch Earn Pass of Leny Glen Ogle Landmark historic buildings and heritage sites including Edinample Castle and Dundurn Pictish Hill Fort Summary of Evaluation Sense of Place The visual/sense of place qualities are important. The open upland hills dominate much of this area, with Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’ Chroin the highest peaks, creating an open and vast sense of place with diverse features such as rocky outcrops and scree. Although open uplands are characteristic of much of the highland area of the Park they are distinctive in the Breadalbane area as being generally higher and more unbroken with distinct exposed upper slopes. Loch Earn and Loch Lubnaig are the two main lochs in the area and both have quite distinct characters. Loch Lubnaig is enclosed by heavily planted glen sides and rugged craggy hills such as Ben Ledi and the loch shores are largely undeveloped. Loch Earn in contrast is broad in expanse and flanked by steep hills to the north and south. There are areas of residential, recreational and commercial development along areas of the north and south shore. The flat glen floors are a focus for communication routes and settlement. The flat strips of farmland around the watercourses provide an enclosed landscape which contrasts with the surrounding hills. Cultural Heritage The cultural heritage of the area is of high importance with substantial evidence of continuity of use of the landscape.

  • Highland Perthshire Through the Archive
    A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide.
