  • 1696 Hearth Tax, Aberdeenshire Residents
    1696 Poll Tax List for the North East of Scotland In the latter part of the 17th century, the Scottish economy was in poor shape. Among several unpopular taxes introduced during this period was the Poll Tax that imposed a tax on every person over 16 (14?) years of age and not a beggar. The list of persons in Aberdeenshire is supposedly the only complete county list in existence, and enumerates some 30,000 persons, although less than 100 of these are Brebner/Bremner individuals. I have transcribed the Brebner/Bremner and all variant spellings from the indexes published by the late Archie Strath Maxwell and found in the main public library in Aberdeen. The Aberdeen and NE Scotland Family History Society (ANESFHS) has a series of full transcriptions of many of the Aberdeenshire parishes available for purchase, and I would recommend these to anyone who has traced their ancestors back to this early period. Many of the 1696 parishes had different names and boundaries than their 19th century counterparts, although farm names are often continued through the centuries. In looking through the Brebner/Bremner entries for Aberdeenshire, I found it most interesting that some parishes in which the families were well represented in the 18th and 19th centuries had no entries in 1696. This suggests that the founding members of those families came from other parts of Aberdeenshire, or indeed from other parts of Scotland. Trying to match individuals in this population poll with corresponding births or christenings is hampered by the lack of Old Parish Registers for many of the under-mentioned parishes during that early time.

    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall.

  • History of the Murrays
    History of the Murrays The Murray’s trace their heritage back to the 12th Century and take their name from the great province of Moray, once a local kingdom. It was during this time that the Flemish lords crossed the North Sea and established themselves in the Scottish realm. Among them was Freskin, son of Ollec. Either Freskin or his son, William, intermarried with the ancient royal house of Moray. The senior line of the Murrays took the surname of Sutherland and became Earls of Sutherland in 1235.Thereafter, the chiefs of the Murrays were the Lords of Petty in Moray, who also became Lords of Bothwell in Clydesdale before 1253. An heir of this line, Sir Andrew Murray, was the brilliant young general who, along with William Wallace, led the Scots in 1297 intheir first uprising against the English conquerors. He was mortally-wounded while winning his famous victory at Stirling Bridge. His son, Sir Andrew Murray, 4th Lord of Bothwell, 3rd Regent of Scotland, married Christian Bruce, a sister of King Robert the Bruce. He was captured at Roxburgh early in 1333 and was a prisoner in England at the time of the battle of Halidon Hill. He obtained his freedom in time to march to the relief of his wife, who was bravely defending Kildrummy Castle. Sir Andrew commenced with unabated spirit to struggle in the cause of independence and died in 1338. The last Murray Lord of Bothwell died in 1360 of the plague. The chiefship of the Murray’s fell into doubt amongst the various scattered branches of the name — from Sutherland and Murray itself — through Perthshire and Stirlingshire to Annandale, and the Borders.

  • Transport Scotland — A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvement 7-1 7
    Transport Scotland — A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvement 7 CULTRAL HERITAGE 7.1 Introduction This Chapter provides an assessment of the potential effects of the construction and operation of the proposed A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvements (the Scheme) on cultural heritage (built heritage, archaeology and designed historic landscapes). As a highways Scheme, this assessment has been prepared in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Detailed Assessment (DMRB Volume 11 Section 3, Part 2 Cultural Heritage HA 208/07, 2007). In accordance with advice contained in DMRB Volume 11, an Options Appraisal (Stage 2 Simple Assessment) was undertaken in September 2011. This determined that the cultural heritage resource had the potential to be impacted by the Scheme. This was confirmed as part of a Scoping exercise (April 2012) which concluded that a detailed assessment was required. The objective of a DMRB Detailed Assessment (Volume 11, Parts 2 and 3), as required for inclusion in the Environmental Statement, is to: undertake sufficient assessment to identify the location, type and importance of cultural heritage constraints; characterise and assess the importance of the cultural heritage of the study area; determine the likely nature and scale of potential impacts from construction and operation of the Scheme; and determine mitigation measures to reduce or remedy any adverse impacts. 7.2 Approach & Methods 7.2.1 Plans and Policies This assessment has been undertaken in accordance with current legislation and planning policy. The following relevant documents have been used in the preparation of this report: The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2011; Historic Environment (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2011; Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP) 2011; Scottish Planning Policy (2010); and Planning Advice Note 2/2011 – Planning and Archaeology (2011).
