One of the points of difference between the bearings of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs on the one hand and those of the I Police Burghs on the other lies in the fact that the former carry castles and ships to an extent which becomes almost monotonous, while among the latter these bearings are rare. On the other hand, the Police Burghs very frequently assume a charge of which A 079 2 Aberchirder. examples, in the blazonry of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs, are very rare : this is the cross, derived apparently from the fact that their market-crosses are the most prominent of their ancient monuments. In cases where the cross calvary does not appear, a cross of some other kind is often found, as in the present instance. We are informed that in assuming this device no special allusion was intended by the authorities of Aberchirder ; we should therefore conjecture that the charge was obtained by some course of syllogistic reasoning such as — burghs have crosses : this is a burgh ; therefore it ought to have a cross.

PREFACE The following chapters originated in a series of popular Lectures prepared at the request of the Mechanics' Institute of Forres, and delivered in that town, and in Nairn, Inverness, Invergordon, and Elgin. There was no intention of giving them, either a wider pub- licity, or a more permanent form; but the audiences in the several places having expressed a wish to see my manuscript in print—probably because they felt that the ear required the aid of the eye in following the details of the narrative, — it is now published. The sketch has grown somewhat in the reproduction, but the demands of a laborious pastorate have for- bidden any attempt to recast it in a more strictly his- toric form, or to bestow upon it a treatment worthier of the subject. Whatever its imperfections, I trust that, at the least, the men of Moray and Eoss Avill recognise it as a well-meaning, if feeble, attempt to keep alive the memory of men and of deeds that ought not to be forgotten by us.

JAMES GOODEN, LONDON), A noble-souled woman, whose warm-hearted and patriotic conduct towards her father's and, subsequently, her mother's tenants in Strathglass, under the most trying circumstances, first attracted the author's attention to her clan, and without whose inspiration this book would never have been written. PREFACE. :o:- The History of the Chisholms, as given in this volume, is not an ambitious work. The materials are not extensive, and those available are not of an important or stirring character. I claim to have disposed of the absurd and ground- less contention, so long maintained by the Northern clan, that they sprang originally from the Earls of Caithness and Orkney, and to have established, on the contrary, that they first came to the Highlands from the Scottish Borders, and that all the families of the name, north and south, can trace their descent to one common ancestor, heard of for the first time in Scotland in the county of Roxburgh towards the end of the thirteenth century.

    AN OLD HIGHLAND GENEALOGY and the EVOLUTION of a SCOTTISH CLAN Alan G

    AN OLD HIGHLAND GENEALOGY AND THE EVOLUTION OF A SCOTTISH CLAN Alan G. Macpherson A clan, in the original Gaelic sense of the term as used by Scottish Highlanders, is really an extended family, broadly based in the present in a great multitude of cousins, tapering to a few dimly‐seen ancestors some generations back. Clan history, therefore, is mainly a matter of genealogy, and when individual clansmen are active in the events of their time, and heritable property and personal status are at stake, the clan historian must turn genealogist. Nor can he separate the story of the people from the story of the land. It is for these reasons that the Invereshie Book Genealogy, the subject of this article, is so important for any understanding of the evolution of Clan Macpherson, one of a score of clans that dominated the history of the Scottish Highlands during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Scottish clans were territorially based, being predominantly pastoral in their way of life. As in other traditional societies their language reflected the great importance of blood relationships in a man's day‐to‐day life. The Gaelic language contained a special vocabulary to cover all events. In Gaelic a man's sloinneadh was his patronymic surname, which served to identify him among his fellows. Thus, among men of other clans a Macpherson was called Mac a' Phearsain, meaning a man of that group of people known to be descended from “the Parson”, or Mac Mhuirich, meaning one of the descendants of Muireach.[1] This reference back to a remote ancestor, however, was not particularly useful in social intercourse within the clan.
