  • The Political and Ecclesiastical Extent of Scottish Dalriada Pamela O’Neill
    Journal of the ustralian arly edieval A E M Association Vol ume 1 2005 volume 1 - 2005 The political and ecclesiastical extent of Scottish Dalriada Pamela O’Neill Abstract The Irish settlement of Dalriada on the west coast and islands of Scotland was formed sometime around the fifth century. It continued to exist as a distinct entity until at least the ninth century. Many of the principal sites within Dalriada have long been recognised, such as the political centre at Dunadd or the ecclesiastical centre on Iona. However, there is less clarity about the fringes of the territory over the 500 or so years of its existence. This paper discusses the documentary and, more particularly, the material evidence for the extent of Scottish Dalriada. Particular attention is given to Dalriada’s relationship to waterways, islands and coastal areas. Indications are sought concerning the political boundaries of the territory. Against this background, the geographical extent of the ecclesiastical organisation of Scottish Dalriada is considered. Around the fifth century CE, Irish immigrants from the north- eastern corner of modern County Antrim established a settlement on the west coast and islands of what is now Scotland. The settlement is known as Dalriada, after the Irish people called Dál Riata from whom most of the immigrants were apparently drawn. It was not until approximately five centuries later that the Dalriada joined their neighbours in Pictland to form the kingdom of Scotland. Documentary evidence for Dalriada during that interval is sparse, frequently ambiguous and difficult to interpret. There is, however, a considerable body of stone sculpture from Dalriada, which provides an opportunity to understand otherwise obscure aspects of social, cultural and religious life in Dalriada.

  • The Iona Chronicle, the Descendants of Aedan Mac Gabrain, and the 'Principal Kindreds Ofdal Riata'
    The Iona Chronicle, the Descendants of Aedan mac Gabrain, and the 'Principal Kindreds ofDal Riata' Jan1es E. Fraser In presenting us with new editions of the i1l1portallt Oalriadic genealogical 'tractates' Cethri Prbnchenela Dciil Riata and Miniugud Senchasa Fher nAlban,1 Professor DU1l1ville has challenged historians of seventh-century Scotland to allow contelnporary texts to speak for thelTIselves, and to be 11lore CirCUlTISpect than has perhaps been usual in assessing non-contelllporary texts for what they purpol1 to reveal about the kindreds that dOlTIinated Argyll in this period. A particular target of his characteristically fonnidable criticislllS has been the proposition that the only seventh-century kings of Oal Riata were Cenel nGabrain dynasts,2 now recapitulated thirty years after John Bannennan insisted that 'it was froln the Cenel nGabniin that the kings of Oal Riata were drawn without exception'.3 In this study I intend to explore S01l1e annal evidence that tends on the whole to affinn Professor DU111ville's reservations about this centralist thesis. In I In his edition of Cethri Prhnchenela Didl Riata [henceforth Cethri Prinlchenela Didl Riata], D. N. DUIllville, ~Cethri Prhnchenela Didl Riata' [henceforth DUIllville, ~Cethri Prinlchenela'], in Scottish Gaelic Studies 20 (2000), 170-91, has established its credentials as a discreet text. Similarly, his edition of Miniugud Sencha,-\'a Fher nAlban [henceforth Aliniugud Senchasa Fher nA/ban], D. N. DUl11ville, 'Ireland and North Britain in the Earlier Middle Ages: Contexts for Minillglld Senchasa Fher nAIban' [henceforth DunlvilIe, 'Ireland and North Britain'], in C. 6 Baoill and N. R. McGuire (eds.), Rannsachadh na Gaidhlig 2000 (Aberdeen, 2002), 185-211, has established that the text nlore usually known by the ~pervcrsely acephalous nalne' of Senchus Fer nAlban is 1110rc accurately to be entitled Miniugud Senchasa Fher nAlhan.

"V^E have pleasure in again producing the Bute County Directory, and continuing all the Lists of Public Officials, Society Office-Bearers, &c., for the whole County and the towns and villages within its bounds ; the Householders lists in the whole Isle of Bute ; and specially-prepared i of those engaged in Trade in the Islands of Bute and Cumbrae. The subject matter, though not much increased from former years, is arranged in a more get-at-able style—the several parts being printed on different coloured papers, and we are sure Advertisers will appreciate their notices being printed facing the general information. Our best thanks are again accorded to those who have assisted us in our compilation of the " intelligence department" of Buteshire, to Advertisers and Subscribers for their patronage, and those who have had the courtesy to acknowledge compliments.

    1st Floor Flat, Rockvale, Kilchattan Bay, Isle of Bute, PA20 9NL (Google Maps and/or Street view) INSTRUCTIONS FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS Getting Here There are 2 Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) ferry routes to the Isle of Bute. The first is the main route between Wemyss Bay on the mainland and Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. A train service runs between Glasgow Central station and Wemyss Bay, calling at Paisley Gilmour Street station and several other stations on the way. The second is the route between Colintraive on the mainland and Rhubodach on the Isle of Bute – it is not recommended that you use this route if you do not have your own vehicle. www.calmac.co.uk Getting Around Kilchattan Bay is about 9 miles south of Rothesay; the main town on the Isle of Bute. If you don’t have your own vehicle the bus service between Kilchattan Bay and Rothesay takes about 25 minutes and runs roughly one per hour. www.westcoastmotors.co.uk/timetables/isle-of-bute Monday – Saturday No. 90/490, Sunday No. 493. The route between Kilchattan Bay and Rothesay takes you past several places of interest such as Mount Stuart House and Gardens, Ardencraig Gardens (a bit of an uphill walk from the bus stop) and Ascog Hall Gardens and Victorian Fernery. On ‘Summer’ weekdays some buses continue beyond Rothesay to and from Ettrick Bay on the north-west of the Isle of Bute but please check return times carefully before you venture there by bus. Driving there either go left when you come off the Wemyss Bay to Rothesay ferry and drive for 8 miles turning left at the Kingarth Hotel or drive straight as you get off the ferry and turn right at the Kingarth hotel after around 8 miles.
