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. -

The Knock of Alves forms the E. part of a narrow ridge a mile and a half in length to the N. of which the coastal plain extends for four miles to the shore of the Mor ay Firth at Hopeman. The Knock rises from the general level of the ridge to attain a height of 335 feet O. D., and commands an extensive view in all directions except the E. where Quar r y Wood Hill, distant one mile, stands 100 feet higher. The fort, which occupies the whole of the higher part of the Knock, is very ruinous; some parts of the defences lie in conifer plantations and others under thick heather and wh i n s , while a modern track, a monument, a mausoleum, ploughing and quarrying have also playeq their parts in the mutilation of the remains. The uppennost recognizable work is an enclosure measuring 125 feet from E. to W. by 75 feet transversely. The cw:. E. and S. are 'f or med by mere crestlines along which a very few stones and boulders appear, but to the W. and N. the rickle of stones representing a ruined wall (I) is much more conspicu- :ous. The natural crest of the N. flank of the rocky plateau which forms the absolute summit of the hill lies about 20 feet S. of and above the spread of stones that are considered to form the N. -

Pre-determination Hearing : Not Required Reason referred to Committee : 5 or more objections. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The application is to facilitate an increased power output from the 20 turbine wind farm project previously granted planning permission, on appeal, within Moy Estate. It offers a potential 66MW of generating capacity, an increase from the potential 41MW generating capacity associated with the approved scheme. 1.2 The application was submitted to the Scottish Government for approval under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. Should Ministers approve the development, it will carry deemed planning permission under Section 57(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The Council is a consultee on the proposed development. Should the Council object to the development, Scottish Ministers will require to hold a Public Local Inquiry to consider the development before determining the application. 1.3 As the application is not significantly different to the earlier planning application, the supporting information relies upon the Environmental Statement (ES) prepared for the planning application.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth. -
