    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.
  • Kintour Landscape Survey Report

    Kintour Landscape Survey Report

    DUN FHINN KILDALTON, ISLAY AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY DATA STRUCTURE REPORT May 2017 Roderick Regan Summary The survey of Dun Fhinn and its associated landscape has revealed a picture of an area extensively settled and utilised in the past dating from at least the Iron Age and very likely before. In the survey area we see settlements developing across the area from at least the 15 th century with a particular concentration of occupation on or near the terraces of the Kintour River. Without excavation or historical documentation dating these settlements is fraught with difficulty but the distinct differences between the structures at Ballore and Creagfinn likely reflect a chronological development between the pre-improvement and post-improvement settlements, the former perhaps a relatively rare well preserved survival.

    VOL. LI FEBRUARY No. 2 1958 BRITISH BIRDS THE BIRDS OF TIREE AND COLL By J. MORTON BOYD (Department of Zoology, Glasgow University*) (Plates 18-20) THE islands of Tiree and Coll, Inner Hebrides, lie totally within the vice-county Mid Ebudes (103). Situated between Mull and the Barra Isles, they stretch some 45 miles S.W. into the ocean from Ardnamurchan, the most westerly headland of the Scottish main­ land. Their geographical position, and separate scale maps of each, are shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. This work is concerned with records of all species of bird observed, from the earliest literature to the present day, not only on Tiree and Coll, but also on all islands and rocks between and including Eilein Mor, N.E. of Coll, and Skerryvore, S.W. of Tiree. The islands are a low undulating platform of Lewisian gneiss masked extensively by raised beach material and wind-blown sand. The sand deposits are particularly widespread in Tiree and S.W. Coll, but in N.W. Coll there are considerable tracts of bare rock. The terrain rises to its highest point (460 feet) in Ben Hynish, Tiree. The principal ecological divisions of the islands are: (i) an intertidal zone, including extensive beaches of shell-sand inter­ spaced with rocky shores trenched by eroded dykes, and fringed with skerries; (ii) grazed sand-dune systems landward to the shore sand, and moorland altered by salt-spray landward to the rocky shores (the only substantial sea-cliffs are at Ceann a'Mhara, Tiree); (iii) machair or sea-meadow, and cultivated calcareous grassland covering wide tracts of Tiree and S.W.

    SWS Significant Projects

    SWS Significant Projects Ronnie: Comment. 1. My checker showed spelling and spacing issues. At start I corrected some then changed to showing them as [? Gap etc] or my understanding of the correct spelling [eg Jencks not Jenks]. It might be easier to download this copy to accept or reject changes. 2. Some Irish Job names showed as errors. My system should have all the correct names from other work I have done. Check or leave it until I get back from holiday. 3. I am happy with your choice of ‘significance’. 4. I have added names of key staff [where I know them] and highlighted where I think we should try to add names or at least indicate that there were others who should be acknowledged. Regards, Jim. 14 July 2014. This table attempts to record significant projects carried out by Scott Wilson in the operational areas which became the responsibility of Scott Wilson Scotland (comprising Scotland, North of England, Northern Ireland and Ireland). Prior to the formation of SWS, projects were carried out by the UK Partnership. There is no simple definition of a significant Project. Whilst large projects can easily fall into this category, I have also included projects which added to the geographic and technical expansion of the firm. I have also included projects which created a stream of commissions. In part, the data in itself provides a detailed history of the development of SWS over the years. The data has been taken from job number lists which were obtained from archive catalogues. This data appears very comprehensive from 1971 to 2001.
