Tiny, intricately-detailed, circular hut sited high on hill overlooking Buffalo Park, part of Rohallion's designed landscape. Incorporating conical roof, large gabled porch, tall circular stack projecting at rear, and deep-set roundheaded openings with narrow voussoirs, some openings with rubble infill (original), some with boarded timber doors and some appearing as lancets. Mixed rubble construction with larger rubble base and quoin stones, some squared. Overhanging eaves with exposed rafters. FURTHER DESCRIPTION: 2-leaf boarded timber door with decorative ironwork hinges, and window openings also with timber boarded doors/shutters. Cobbled floor. Grey slate roof. INTERIOR: rustic half-round timbered walls and low benches to porch and hut interior, latter also with large stone fireplace. Built for Sir William Drummond Stewart of Murthly Castle, this astonishing, well-detailed hut was erected to house two Native Americans who had accompanied Sir William on his return to Murthly at the end of the 1830s. The Indians were themselves accompanied by Antoine, a `half-breed' trained as a butler, who was intended to restrain them from any savage or wild behaviour. Sir William had so fallen in love with the American Wild West, that he shipped some buffalo across to Scotland, and built the Buffalo Park at Rohallion, bringing the Indians to look after the animals. The buffalo were cared for by Lord Breadalbane at Taymouth until buffalo grass seed had ripened in 'an enclosure ... not far from Rohallion measuring five or six miles in circumference. The area was enclosed by a stone fence topped by several strands of thick wire'. Much of the `stone fence' enclosing Buffalo Park is still evident today (2006), with monumental square-section gatepiers flanking openings. The Buffalo Hut is sited high up on a hill to the NW of the Park, with a crenellated wall forming a lookout with spectacular views across the Perthshire countryside to the River Tay and beyond. When newly built, views of Murthly Castle would have been clearly visible from this location. 'In August, 1842, restless again, Stewart decided on one last farewell expedition to the American west. To the relief of the locals, he took his three savages with him'. However, during his absence 'Stewart found his buffaloes had got out of hand. One had killed a postman and others had broken free to roam the hills. They were reluctantly given to Lord Breadalbane and ended their days at Woburn Abbey's nature park', (Scottish Memories).

The monument was first scheduled in 1930 and rescheduled in 1965. It is being rescheduled yet again in order to clarify the extent of the scheduled area. The monument lies in mixed woodland at about 70m OD. It comprises two standing stones, aligned N-S and set about 3m apart. The N stone is about 2.1m high, and the S stone is approximately 1.6m high. The monument relates to ritual activity of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. The area proposed for scheduling comprises the remains described and an area around them within which related material may be expected to be found. It is a truncated circle on plan with a maximum diameter of 30m, bounded by the edge of a road to the SW, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract. Above-ground elements of the modern boundary fence are excluded from the scheduling. [1] This monument comprises a pair of prehistoric standing stones located to the NE of the A984 road, unusually positioned at the foot of a steep slope at the rear of a terrace overlooking the River Tay. The N stone, which leans slightly to the W, rises to a height of 2.1m, and the S stone is 1.6m high. It is unlikely that these standing stones are the remains of a stone circle, as has been suggested in the past. (NO 0449 4107) Standing Stones (NR) OS 6" map, Perthshire, 2nd ed.

Page 4 of Appendix D A9 Dualling Programme: Pass of Birnam to Tay Crossing Environmental Baseline Report Appendix D: Cultural Heritage Assets Gazetteer Visited by OS (RD) 22 February 1971 This pair of standing stones lies to the NE of the public road (A984) and is unusually situated at the foot of a steep slope at the rear of a terrace overlooking the River Tay. The N stone, which leans slightly to the W, rises to a height of 2.1m, and the S stone is 1.6m high. Visited by RCAHMS (JRS) 8 October 1986. [2] A site inspection on 6 July 2015 observed that the setting supports the understanding of the relationship of the monument’s chosen location within the wider landscape but is partly compromised by roadside planting associated with the A984.

    THE MONUMENTAL EFFIGIES OF SCOTLAND. 329 VI. THE MONUMENTAL EFFIGIES OF SCOTLAND, FROM THE THIRTEENTH TO THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. BY ROBERT BRYDALL, F.S.A. SOOT. The custom of carving monumental effigies in full relief does not seem to have come into vogue in Scotland till the thirteenth century—this being also the case in England. From the beginning of that period the art of the sculptor had made great progress both in Britain and on the Continent. At the close of the twelfth century, artists were beginning to depart from the servile imitation of the work of earlier carvers, to think more for themselves, and to direct their attention to nature ; more ease began to appear in rendering the human figure; form was more gracefully expressed, and drapery was treated with much greater freedom. When the fourteenth century drew towards its end, design in sculpture began to lose something of the purity of its style, more attention being given to detail than to general effect; and at the dawn of the sixteenth century, the sculptor, in Scotland, began to degenerate into a mere carver. The incised slab was the earliest form of the sculptured effigy, a treat- ment of the figure in flat relief intervening. The incised slabs, as well as those in flat relief, which were usually formed as coffin-lids, did not, however, entirely disappear on the introduction of the figure in full relief, examples of both being at Dundrennan Abbey and Aberdalgie, as well as elsewhere. An interesting example of the incised slab was discovered at Creich in Fife in 1839, while digging a grave in the old church; on this slab two figures under tabernacle-work are incised, with two shields bearing the Barclay and Douglas arms : hollows have been sunk for the faces and hands, which were probably of a different material; and the well cut inscription identifies the figures as those of David Barclay, who died in 1400, and his wife Helena Douglas, who died in 1421.

  • St Columba Poetry
    ntroduction The 7th December 2020 marked the 1,500th anniversary of the birth of St Columba, or Colmcille. A self-imposed exile from Ireland, Columba was a key figure in the early Christianity of the Scottish mainland and western isles and left an indelible mark on the landscape. From the founding of Iona Abbey to one of the earliest sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, his legacy is both physical and cultural. Fleeing Ireland after a dispute regarding religious texts, Columba was known as a scribe and has been linked (although likely erroneously) to one of the earliest illuminated manuscripts of Ireland. He was also a protector of poets and as the Patron Saint of Poetry, what better way to celebrate his varied impact than with the creation of poetry that explores his connection to Scotland and its historic environment. Poet in Residence Alex Aldred spent twenty weeks with us, exploring Columba’s relationship to our sites and the Scottish landscape in order to create a new body of works in response to Columba’s Scotland. We hope that these works inspire you to create your own responses to the historic environment and to refect upon the ways that landscape, heritage and the arts intertwine. lex Aldred Alex Aldred lives and writes in Edinburgh, Scotland. He has an MA in creative writing from Lancaster University, and is currently working towards a PhD in creative writing at the University of Edinburgh inspired by and responding to maps of the City of Edinburgh. Alex’s residency was generously funded by the Scottish Graduate School of Arts and Humanities.

E-mail: [email protected] Julian Luxford, FSA, School of Art History, University of St Andrews, 79 North Street, St Andrews KY16 9AL, UK. E-mail: [email protected] The great majority of Scottish parish churches owe their present appearance to reconstructions carried out from the later eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. It was the view of the authors of this paper, however, that in many cases those reconstructions had been relatively superficial, and that medieval work might have survived under what could, in some cases, be little more than a modern veneer. To test this view, a survey was carried out of all medieval parish sites within the dioceses of Dunblane and Dunkeld. The findings from that survey are summarized in this paper. The loss of medieval parish churches in Scotland has been so great that there is a widely held view that too few survive for a detailed understanding of pre-Reformation parochial architecture to be reached. In a paper published in 1939, for example, it could be

The index to the first 28 volumes was one large index with no sub-divisions. As a great number of queries were published it was decided to include these in a section of their own from volume 29 onwards. From volume 41 the index was split into the following sections: General index; Article Titles; Contributors; Reviews; Work in Progress; Queries. A separate section for Illustrations was included in the index for volumes 45-52. NUMBERING There has not been uniformity in the numbering format used by the different compilers of the indexes. A volume covers one year during which 4 journals were issued usually in March, June, September and December. In the current index these have been harmonised to follow the most commonly used pattern: Volume number - Roman numerals capitals Journal number - Roman numerals lower case Page number - Arabic numerals Example: XXXIX.iv.116 -Volume 39, December issue, page 116.

    Case Study Protecting and enhancing Scotland’s historic buildings Protecting and enhancing Scotland’s historic buildings One of the great advantages PTSG brings to the FM industry is its bundled services provision. This often sees its engineers inspecting clients’ buildings from a holistic perspective, identifying areas where further services or products would improve the building – even finding work of an emergency nature. This saves clients the time and cost of finding different suppliers and often leads to a strong, long-term relationships with PTSG and contracts that are multi-disciplinary in nature. PTSG began its relationship with Historic Scotland in 2016 by providing vital lightning protection services, testing and maintaining systems to safeguard and preserve some of the country’s most valued buildings. Until 2015 Historic Scotland was an executive agency of the Scottish Government and was directly responsible to Scottish Ministers for safeguarding the nation’s historic environment and promoting its understanding and enjoyment. Its functions have since been transferred to Historic Environment Scotland (HES), the lead public body set up to investigate, care for and promote Scotland’s historic environment. ‘Working safely is the essence of PTSG and all that we do.

  • The Late 13Th-Century Chapter Seals of Dunkeld and Oslo Cathedrals†
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 132 (2002), 439–458 The late 13th-century chapter seals of Dunkeld and Oslo Cathedrals† Virginia Glenn* ABSTRACT The seals of Dunkeld and Oslo Cathedrals are compared. The origins of the representations of reliquary shrines upon them are considered. The source of these images, and of the seals themselves, in France and the Low Countries is discussed in the context of cultural and political contacts between Scotland, Norway and France. The handsome 13th-century seal of the chapter of Dunkeld cathedral was first published by Laing (1850, 181–2, nos 1017–18). He recorded that ‘the original brass matrices [are] in the possession of Mr Macdonald, at Scoone [sic], who purchased them among a lot of old brass a few years since’. The same information was repeated nearly 60 years later (Birch 1907, 37–8, figs 73, 74). Nothing else is known of Mr Macdonald and his lucky find, but he was very probably the clerk of works of the same name working at Scone Palace in the mid-19th century.1 Good impressions taken from the matrices after their discovery are in the collec- tions of the National Museums of Scotland, the British Library, the Society of Antiquaries of London and other public collections.
