This Guide to Inverness and the Highlands, now in its fifth year, has from the very first been in every respect a marked success. It is very highly and universally praised by the press and the public and it had from the outset a very large circulation. The Letterpress was extended during the last two years by seventy to eighty pages, while the pictorial attractiveness and usefulness of the book are much enhanced by a new artistic cover, a specially prepared coloured Street Plan of Inverness, and a Map of Scotland showing all the routes described north of Edinburgh and Glasgow. But notwithstanding all these extensions and improvements the publishers have resolved to reduce the price this year from its former price of a Skillmg to SIXPENCE per copy. This is made possible in consequence of the large circulation which it has attained—which will probably now at this nominal price be trebled or quadrupled and the valuable advertising patronage which has naturally followed its phenomenal success otherwise. It is believed the publishers may claim for it to be the best Guide in the market at such a price. The Illustrations are admittedly the finest of their kind that ever appeared in any similar work, while as regards the literary contents every effort has been put forth to make them worthy of the Scottish Highlands. The Guide, the first part of which is a succinct history of Inverness, is so arranged as to enable the tourist to find any part of the Town he may desire without difficulty. The earlier sections deal with the great progress which the Highland Capital has made within the last thirty years, and its history and chronology from the earliest times to the present d.^y. Its situation and climate are next enlarged upon. Then follows a brief but comprehensive account ot all its principal buildings and places of interest. In the second section is a complete Guide to the whole Highlands. P^inally, the more noted places and buildings along the various routes by road, steamer, or rail, and the most striking features of the magnificent and varied scenery which everywhere abounds are briefly but sufficiently described.

The narrative is written in a singularly simple and unpre- tentious style, and undoubtedly forms a valuable contribution to the history' of one of the most interesting episodes in Scottish annals."—Scotsman " The book is one of great value, occupying a unique place as the only j authoritative life of a woman whose heroic conduct has won universal admiration.

  • Introduction the Place-Names in This Book Were Collected As Part of The
    Introduction The place-names in this book were collected as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Board-funded (AHRB) ‘Norse-Gaelic Frontier Project, which ran from autumn 2000 to summer 2001, the full details of which will be published as Crawford and Taylor (forthcoming). Its main aim was to explore the toponymy of the drainage basin of the River Beauly, especially Strathglass,1 with a view to establishing the nature and extent of Norse place-name survival along what had been a Norse-Gaelic frontier in the 11th century. While names of Norse origin formed the ultimate focus of the Project, much wider place-name collection and analysis had to be undertaken, since it is impossible to study one stratum of the toponymy of an area without studying the totality. The following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below. It makes no claims to being comprehensive, but it is hoped that it will serve as the basis for a more complete place-name survey of an area which has hitherto received little serious attention from place-name scholars. Parishes The parishes covered are those of Kilmorack KLO, Kiltarlity & Convinth KCV, and Kirkhill KIH (approximately 240, 185 and 80 names respectively), all in the pre-1975 county of Inverness-shire. The boundaries of Kilmorack parish, in the medieval diocese of Ross, first referred to in the medieval record as Altyre, have changed relatively little over the centuries.

  • Quaternary of Scotland the GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES
    Quaternary of Scotland THE GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES The comparatively small land area of Great Britain contains an unrivalled sequence of rocks, mineral and fossil deposits, and a variety of landforms that span much of the earth's long history. Well-documented ancient volcanic episodes, famous fossil sites, and sedimentary rock sections used internationally as comparative standards, have given these islands an importance out of all proportion to their size. These long sequences of strata and their organic and inorganic contents, have been studied by generations of leading geologists thus giving Britain a unique status in the development of the science. Many of the divisions of geological time used throughout the world are named after British sites or areas, for instance the Cambrian, Ordovician and Devonian systems, the Ludlow Series and the Kimmeridgian and Portlandian stages. The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) was initiated by the Nature Conservancy Council in 1977 to assess, document, and ultimately publish accounts of the most important parts of this rich heritage. The GCR reviews the current state of knowledge of the key earth-science sites in Great Britain and provides a firm basis on which site conservation can be founded in years to come. Each GCR volume describes and assesses networks of sites of national or international importance in the context of a portion of the geological column, or a geological, palaeontological, or mineralogical topic. The full series of approximately 50 volumes will be published by the year 2000. Within each individual volume, every GCR locality is described in detail in a self- contained account, consisting of highlights (a precis of the special interest of the site), an introduction (with a concise history of previous work), a description, an interpretation (assessing the fundamentals of the site's scientific interest and importance), and a conclusion (written in simpler terms for the non-specialist).

  • Archaeological Society and Avoch Community Archaeology Group Th St Mar 20 to 21 2016
    Avoch Community Archaeology Report of a Survey of Ormond Castle, Avoch, Ross- shire carried out by members of the North of Scotland Archaeological Society and Avoch Community Archaeology group th st Mar 20 to 21 2016 With the kind permission of Broadlands Estates Rosehaugh Background The North of Scotland Archaeological Society (NOSAS) and Avoch Community Archaeology (ACA) group joined forces in March 2016 to survey and photograph Ormond Castle, GR NH 6963 5358 (HER ID: MHG8226, Canmore ID 13572). The castle overlooks the village of Avoch on the Black Isle and commands good views across the Moray Firth to the south and the former ferry crossing between Chanonry and Ardersier in the east. To date Ormond castle has not received the attention it deserves. It is traditionally associated with William the Lion (1143 – 1214). He built two castles on the Black Isle in 1179, one at Redcastle and a second which is thought to be this one. Andrew de Moray was owner of the castle in the 13th century and principal commander of Scottish forces in the north during the Wars of Independence in the late 13th Century, but was mortally wounded fighting alongside William Wallace at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. In 1455, after being in the hands of the de Moray family and the earls of Ross, the castle passed to royal control and in 1481 James III granted it to his son, the Marquis of Ormond, from whom the present name derives. The castle was destroyed by Cromwell’s forces in 1650 and the stones were transported over the firth to build the Citadel in Inverness.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular.
