  • The Kirk in the Garden of Evie
    THE KIRK IN THE GARDEN OF EVIE A Thumbnail Sketch of the History of the Church in Evie Trevor G Hunt Minister of the linked Churches of Evie, Firth and Rendall, Orkney First Published by Evie Kirk Session Evie, Orkney. 1987 Republished 1996 ComPrint, Orkney 908056 Forward to the 1987 Publication This brief history was compiled for the centenary of the present Evie Church building and I am indebted to all who have helped me in this work. I am especially indebted to the Kirk’s present Session Clerk, William Wood of Aikerness, who furnished useful local information, searched through old Session Minutes, and compiled the list of ministers for Appendix 3. Alastair Marwick of Whitemire, Clerk to the Board, supplied a good deal of literature, obtained a copy of the Title Deeds, gained access to the “Kirk aboon the Hill”, and conducted a tour (even across fields in his car) to various sites. He also contributed valuable local information and I am grateful for all his support. Thanks are also due to Margaret Halcro of Lower Crowrar, Rendall, for information about her name sake, and to the Moars of Crook, Rendall, for other Halcro family details. And to Sheila Lyon (Hestwall, Sandwick), who contributed information about Margaret Halcro (of the seventeenth century!). TREVOR G HUNT Finstown Manse March 1987 Foreword to the 1996 Publication Nearly ten years on seemed a good time to make this history available again, and to use the advances in computer technology to improve its appearance and to make one or two minor corrections.. I was also anxious to include the text of the history as a page on the Evie, Firth and Rendall Churches’ Internet site for reference and, since revision was necessary to do this, it was an opportunity to republish in printed form.

  • Dissolution and Formation of Extended-Family Households in Northern Orkney, Scotland, 1851-1901
    DISSOLUTION AND FORMATION OF EXTENDED-FAMILY HOUSEHOLDS IN NORTHERN ORKNEY, SCOTLAND, 1851-1901 Julia A. Jennings,1,2 Corey S. Sparks,3 James W. Wood,1,2 Patricia L. Johnson,1,2 Timothy M. Murtha,4 Stephen A. Matthews1,2 1Department of Anthropology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 2Population Research Institute, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 3Department of Demography and Organization Studies, University of Texas, San Antonio TX 78249 4Department of Landscape Architecture, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 2009 IUSSP Conference, Marrakech, Morocco Introduction Historical demographers have long debated the nature of households in past societies, with much attention paid to the categorization of household types and the analysis of their spatial distribution and changes in prevalence over time [1-6]. In the traditional farming system that dominated the economy of preindustrial Orkney in Scotland, households provided the labor needed to produce food and other goods for family consumption. In order to improve their odds of a successful subsistence enterprise, these smallholder households needed to balance the group’s current age and sex composition with both current and future food consumption and labor requirements [7-9]. Household composition can be considered an important factor in determining household energy requirements as well as its ability to muster enough labor to produce the goods necessary to satisfy those needs. When considered in conjunction with agricultural resources, such as arable land, to which the household has access, household composition may be an important determinant of the economic and physical well-being of its members, especially at times of stress, such as might be expected during food shortages or the illness or death of family members.

  • Place Names in Orkney from 16Th- and 17Th-Century Maps
    Place names in Orkney from 16th- and 17th-century maps Lachlan of Cromarty Ian McIntosh [email protected] For this project, I recorded the Orkney Island placenames found on maps published in the second half of the sixteenth century and the rst half of the seventeenth century. I compared those spellings to modern Ordinance Survey maps. Nearly all placenames in Orkney are of Scandinavian origin, and very few are of Gaelic origin. Norse migration from the North completely superseded the previous, Pictish inhabitants of the islands. Especially characteristic are suxes of Old Norse origin; -ay (meaning `island'), -holm (meaning `round topped or grassy islet') and -skerry (meaning `rocky islet'). The maps I have organized the period maps at my disposal into two categories: those based upon early sixteenth century data, and those based upon the survey of Timothy Pont in the 1580s and 1590s. Maps in the former category were published in the late 16th C and very early 17th C For simplicity sake, I refer to these maps as 16th-C Maps. Maps of the latter category were all published in the 17th C, after Pont's death. I refer to these maps as 17th-C Maps. 16th C maps In the 16th-C Maps category are the maps of Abraham Ortelius, Gerhard Mercator, and John Speed. These maps are based upon documentation completed in the early sixteenth century, which is now lost. In his article, A History of Orkney Maps, John Chesters theorizes that Ortelius' map, circa 1575, was based upon an early draft of Gerhard Mercator's.
