  • Calum Colvin's Ossian Project and the Tropes of Scottish Photography
    Murdo Macdonald: Art and the Scottish Highlands: An Ossianic Perspective 89 MEMORY , MYTH AND MELANCHOLY : CALUM COLV I N ’S OSS I AN PROJECT AND THE TROPES OF SCOTT I SH PHOTO G RAPHY Tom Normand There is a remarkable coincidence of purpose between James Macpherson’s Ossian ‘translations’ of 1760 and Calum Colvin’s Ossian project of 2002 1. Although the former was an exercise in poetic transcription, and the latter an essay in photographic invention, both were journeys of discovery and fabrication. The precise degree of Macpherson’s construction of the Ossian myth remains, even today, a moot point, but Colvin has drawn on this ambiguity to create a collection of evocative and fragmented images. These are a contemporary parallel to Macpherson’s fiction; consciously recalling the process of discovery, imitation, adaptation and simulation that has suffused the ‘original’ source. Significantly, this method is entirely compatible with Colvin’s creative manner. Colvin is a photographer who ‘constructs’ and manipulates his images. He will fabricate a three-dimensional set, using a mixture of abandoned furniture, found-objects, toys and other kitsch memorabilia. Having set the scene he will over-paint the theatrical tableaux with a figurative illustration, often ‘borrowed’ or ‘sampled’from a traditional work of art. And, finally, he will photograph this astonishing creation, so generating a visionary ‘picture’. In reflecting on this process it is clear that the object that exists in the actual world is a fictionalised painted environment, but the result is a ‘real’ photographic study. This challenging dialogue between truth and fiction was certainly relevant to Macpherson, and it manifestly exists as a core dynamic in Colvin’s creative practice.

  • THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith
    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.

LIBRARY EDITION W. & A. K. JOHNSTON, LIMITED EDINBURGH AND LONDON 42 THE CLAN OF MACDONALD War Cry:-"t-'raocb Eilean" ("The Heathery Isle"). Badge : Fraoch (Common Heath). [Pali the clans, that of the MacDonalds is by every rule of antiquity, power, and numbers fully entitled to be spoken of before any other," says Robertson. "Their founder was named in Gaelic Somhairle, and by the Norsemen Somerled, both words having the same meaning, namely Samuel. This hero, for such he undoubtedly was did more to free his countrymen from the rule of the Danes and Norwegians than any other, and in consequence attained to a power greater than has fallen to the lot of a subject of present Scotland. His origin, as stated by Gregory, seems to be clearly Pictish. His father's name was Gillebrede, a very common Pictish name." It signifies the followers of St. Bride or Bridget. Ronald MacDonald Glas of Keppoch fought at Blairleine in 1544, and was after- wards captured by Huntly, and warded as a traitor in the Castle of Ruthven, and was beheaded, together with Ewen, eon of Allan, Captain of the Clan Cameron. The Braelochaoer MacDonalds were always called of Keppoch. His chief, Ronald Oig of Keppoch, when the tide of battle had turned against the great Marquis had often to seek shelter in a cavern in Rannoch. It was MacUonald of Keppoch who, proudly disdaining to hold by a sheepskin the lands of Glen- roy, in 1687 asserted by the sword his right against Macintosh, who had obtained a crown charter of the disputed territory, vanquished and took him prisoner in a desperate conflict, and compelled him to renounce his acquired claim.

  • Clan Donald Lands Trust
    Clan Donald Lands Trust: The First Steps A recollection from the Right Honourable Godfrey James Macdonald of Macdonald, 8th Lord Macdonald and 34th High Chief of Clan Donald, March 2019 Introduction It is now nearly fifty years since our Clan embarked on the latest chapter of our great history, namely the establishment of the Clan Donald Lands Trust. What we created then was without precedent - a Clan owning its own lands, administered by a board of Trustees from all parts of the English speaking world, for the benefit of all clansmen worldwide. This was a truly gargantuan undertaking, and as there are now only two of the original Trustees still alive, Clanranald and myself, I think that it is important to place on record those exciting, nail-biting, terrifying and sometimes desperate early days that have enabled the Clan Donald Lands Trust to become a reality. Background Following the death of my father in November 1970 and the inevitable sale of the Macdonald Estates to cover two lots of Death Duties and other inherited honourable debts some dating back to 1812, I was approached by Donald J Macdonald of Castleton, then President of the Clan Donald Society of Edinburgh. It had always been his dream that the Clan should acquire a small piece of the original Kingdom of the Isles, and that it should be held in perpetuity for all clansmen, while also concentrating on the historical and educational aspects associated with the Lordship of the Isles. The family were under enormous pressure to conclude a sale of the estate by the end of July 1971, so the Clan had less than six months to raise sufficient funds to enable it to make a meaningful offer for the estate.

New York, U. 5. A. From Painting by Dr. E, F. Coriu, Paris K.1s11\1 UL CASTLE} IsLE OF BAH HA PREFACE AVING a Highlander's pride of race, it was perhaps natural that I should have been deeply H interested, as a lad, in the stirring tales and quaint legends of our ancient Clan. With maturity came the desire for dependable records of its history, and I was disappointed at finding only incomplete accounts, here and there in published works, which were at the same time often contradictory. My succession to the Chiefship, besides bringing greetings from clansmen in many lands, also brought forth their expressions of the opinion that a complete history would be most desirable, coupled with the sug­ gestion that, as I had considerable data on hand, I com­ pile it. I felt some diffidence in undertaking to write about my own family, but, believing that under these conditions it would serve a worthy purpose, I commenced this work which was interrupted by the chaos of the Great War and by my own military service. In all cases where the original sources of information exist I have consulted them, so that I believe the book is quite accurate.

    Clan LACHLAN Association of Canada, Inc. www.clanlachlan.ca Dress (usually Ladies only) Modern Ancient CREST: Out of a crest coronet, a castle set upon a rock, all proper MOTTO: Fortis et Fidus (Strong and Faithful) SEPTS: Gilchrist, McEwen, Claflin, in all various spellings A SHORT HISTORY: The family of "Maclachlan of Maclachlan" have been Chiefs of Clan Lachlan for about 750 years. The Chief still refers to himself as Chief of Clan Lachlan which is the anglicization of the Gaelic Clann Lachlainn. The use of the term Clan MacLachlan arose after the anglicization of Gaelic names by non- Gaelic speaking people. People were called MacLachlan and belonged to a clan so manufacturers assumed that they belonged to the Clan MacLachlan. The mighty MacDonalds did not follow this commercial trend. They correctly use Clan Donald for their clan society. When the Clan MacLachlan Society was founded in 1979, many particularly those with some Gaelic pressed for the more correct usage Clan Lachlan. Their views did not prevail but it was decided that the main communication vehicle of the Society be called clan lachlan!; the castle has been castle lachlan for 750 years; the CD was called clan lachlan CD; the Trust formed to preserve Kilmorie Chapel and old castle lachlan was called Lachlan Trust. The Clan MacLachlan Society was founded in 1979, some years after the Clan MacLachlan Association of North America was formed. This is a Clan Society with the President being the Chief of Clan Lachlan. It is a Celtic & Scottish Highland - based organization with autonomous units across the globe held together by a common Constitution, common objectives and a core of common services.
