  • Scottish Naming Customs Craig L
    Scottish Naming Customs Craig L. Foster AG® [email protected] Origins of Scottish Surnames Surnames are said to have begun to be used by Scottish nobility at the direction of King Malcolm Ceannmor in about 1061. William L. Kirk, Jr. “Introduction to the Derivation of Scottish Surnames,” Clan Macrae (1992), http://www.clanmacrae.ca/documents/names.htm “In some Highland areas, though, fixed surnames did not become the norm until the 18th century, and in parts of the Northern Isles until the 19th century.” “Surnames,” ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Types of Scottish Surnames Location-Based Surnames Some people were named for localities. For example, the surname “Murray from the lands of Moray, and Ogilvie, which, according to Black, derives from the barony of Ogilvie in the parish of Glamis, Angus. Tenants might in turn assume, or be given, the name of their landlord, despite having no kinship with him.” Sometimes surnames referred to a specific topographical feature of the landscape such as a river, a loch, a hill, etc. Some examples might include: Names that contain 'kirk' (as in Kirkland, or Selkirk) which means 'church' in Gaelic; 'Muir' or names that contain it (means 'moor' in Gaelic); A name which has 'Barr' in it (this means 'hilltop' in Gaelic). “Surnames,” ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Occupational Surnames A significant amount of surnames come from occupations. So a smith became known as Smith or Gow (Gaelic for smith), a tailor became Tailor/Taylor, a baker was Baxter, a weaver was Webster, etc. “Surnames,”ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Descriptive Surnames “Nicknames were 'descriptional' ie.

  • Introduction a Celtic Dirk at Scotland’S Back? the Lordship of the Isles in Mainstream Scottish Historiography Since 1828
    Introduction A Celtic Dirk at Scotland’s Back? The Lordship of the Isles in Mainstream Scottish Historiography since 1828 Richard D. Oram This volume of essays has its origin in a chance conversation in 1993 in which it emerged that no event had been organised to mark the five hundredth anni- versary of the forfeiture of the Lordship of the Isles by King James IV of Scotland. The result was a small academic conference the following year based at Ballygrant on Islay, close to the former symbolic centre of the Lordship at Finlaggan, and plans to bring the papers from that conference together as a published collection. That plan never matured and the conference papers which represented the contribution of different disciplines to the study of the MacDonald Lordship mainly found homes in academic journals or were incor- porated into larger research publications. Individually, none came close to offering the chronological depth or disciplinary breadth that the multi-author collection had promised and, while in the last two decades there has been a renaissance of research into the Late Medieval period in the Western Highlands and Islands of Scotland – focussed especially on the Church – a comprehen- sive modern overview of the MacDonald lordship in the fourteenth and fif- teenth centuries has remained a conspicuous absentee on the publications horizon. The essays in this volume, amongst which are two substantially revised and developed papers from that original 1994 conference, are not claimed to con- stitute such a comprehensive overview; they focus on key themes that illus- trate the culture(s) and identity/ identities of the territories encompassed by the MacDonald Lordship at its peak, from portable personal artefacts to ships, buildings and the visual signifiers of heraldry; episodes critical in the develop- ment, downfall and disintegration of the MacDonalds’ imperium; and institu- tions that gave form and substance to MacDonald power.

  • Identity in Gaelic Drama 1900-1949 Susan Ross University of Glasgow
    Identity in Gaelic Drama 1900-1949 Susan Ross University of Glasgow Michelle Macleod and Moray Watson have described drama and prose fiction as being ‘in the shadow of the bard’ in terms of their place in the canon of Gaelic literature. (2007) Analysis and review of the extant drama materials show, however, that the Gaelic playwright Tormod Calum Dòmhnallach (Norman Malcolm MacDonald), 1 was right in saying in 1986 that ‘Gaelic theatre […] has been in existence for longer than many of us suspect’. (MacDonald 1986: 147) It is believed that the first Gaelic play (fully in Gaelic, rather than bilingual English with Gaelic) was performed by the Edinburgh University Celtic Society in 1902 although it is no longer known which play or sketch was performed. (Macleod and Watson 2007: 280) In the first decade of the twentieth century, Còisir Chiùil Lunnainn (London Musical Choir) also performed plays at their annual concert in London.2 This article looks at the first half of the twentieth century, when stage drama in Gaelic was being created, to investigate how Gaelic playwrights represented Scottish Gaels and their culture in this new art form. In terms of their artistic merit, Gaelic plays between 1900 and the Second World War are not generally held in high esteem, having previously been described as ‘outstanding neither as to quantity or quality’. (MacLeod 1969: 146) Despite this, there is value in what they reveal about identity and attitudes of the writers, many of whom were prominent figures in the Gaelic movement. An overview of some of the principal themes and tropes of the drama of this period will be presented, considering in particular how the writers negotiate what it meant to be a Gael in the early twentieth century.

  • The Origin of the Name Somhairle Donald M
    The Origin of the Name Somhairle Donald M. Schlegel It usually has been stated in modern times that Somhairle's name was Norse Somerled or Sumarlidi, meaning Summer-leader, one who led viking expeditions in the summertime. The name presumaby was brought from Norse into Irish and became Somhairle, pronounced "Sorley." From this it has been inferred that Somhairle's mother, or perhaps his father, was Norse. However, the late Robert Livingston pointed out another possible source in the Irish name Suairleach. The name could have gone in the reverse direction, from Gaelic to Norse. Only three men are known to have borne the name Sumarlidi before the great Somhairle, King of Argyll; they all lived in Orkney and western Scotland and all are obscure. About two generations earlier was Sumarlidi Ospaksson, father of Thora who was wife of Erlend, Earl of Orkney. Erlend died about 1102. This Sumarlidi's ancestors over five or six generations had moved from Norway to Iceland and thence to Orkney. The next earlier Sumarlidi was a son of Sigurd the Stout, Earl of Orkney. This is the Sigurd who invaded Ireland and died at the battle of Clontarf in 1014. This Sumarlidi's mother is unknown; his grandmother was Edna, daughter of an Irish king named Cearbhall; his great-grandmother was Grelaud, daughter of Donnchadh, ruler of Caithness. The earliest Sumarlidi lived around the year 900. In the Laxdaela Saga, Hrapp who lived in Laxriverdale in Iceland was son of a man named Sumarlidi. This father, however, was not Norse; he was said to have been Scottish, while the mother was from the Sudreys (Hebrides).

  • Gaelic Names of Pibrochs a Concise Dictionary Edited by Roderick D
    February 2013 Gaelic names of Pibrochs A Concise Dictionary edited by Roderick D. Cannon Introduction Sources Text Bibliography February 2013 Introduction This is an alphabetical listing of the Gaelic names of pibrochs, taken from original sources. The great majority of sources are manuscript and printed collections of the tunes, in music notation appropriate for the bagpipe, that is, in staff notation or in canntaireachd. In addition, there are a few arranged for piano or fiddle, but only when the tunes correspond to known bagpipe versions. The main purpose of the work is to make available authentic versions of all authentic names, to explain apparent inconsistences and difficulties in translation, and to account for the forms of the names as we find them. The emphasis here is on the names, not the tunes as such. Many tunes have a variety of different names, but here the variants are only listed in the same entry when they are evidently related. Names which are semantically unrelated are placed in separate entries, even when linked by tradition such as Craig Ealachaidh and Cruinnneachdh nan Grandach. But in such cases they are linked by cross-references, and the traditions which explain the connection are mentioned in the discussions. Different names which merely sound similar are also cross-referenced, whether or not they apply to the same tune. Different names for the same tune, with no apparent connection, are not cross-referenced. Different tunes with the same name are given separate entries, though of course these appear consecutively in the list. In each entry the first name, in bold type, is presented in modern Gaelic spelling except that the acute accent is retained, e.g.

  • Somerled DNA Handout
    DNA says Manx King, Somerled, the Celebrated Founding Father of Scottish Clans, had a“Norse” Patrilinear Ancestry ! DNA-TRACKING SOMERLED, KING OF THE IST.E OF MAN AND THE HEBRIDES Remarkably,Somerled’s biogenetic impact on humanity has been studied beyond that of almost everyone else who has ever lived on this planet, and some of it has stirred up controversy in Scotland.Somerled’s biogenetic identity is even mentioned in aWikipedia entry, as follows: In 2005 astudy by Professor of Human Genetics Bryan Sykes of Oxford led to the conclusionthat Somerled has possibly 500,000 living descendants —making him the second most common currently-known ancestor after Genghis Khan. Sykes's research ledhim to conclude that Somerled was amember of the Y-DNA R1a1 Haplogroup, often considered the marker of Viking descent among men of deep British or Scottish ancestry. {Quoting from “Somerled” at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerled/ .)‘ As will be described below.Dr. Sykes also concluded that Somerled’s father was aNorse Viking, n^ aCeltic Scot. This news has upset many of Somerled’s living descendants !^ Thegenetic history of the Vikings Age, in general, has recently been the object of serious genetic science research.^ Indeed,Somerled’s progeny have much to appreciate about this research -but primarily they shouldbe appreciating God for His providencein procreatively making them, in everyexact biogeneticdetail, as exactly the unique human beings He made each of them to be! ^Ofcourse, this should not have been too shocking, because the name “Somerled” is merely a modifiedversion of the Old Norse name Sumarlidi, meaning “summer-traveler” (i.e., asummer sailor).

They were written down from oral tradition, mainly in the first half of the nineteenth century. Although pibrochs have continued to be composed since that time, especially in the last few decades, it is the pre-1850 pieces which are generally accepted as the classical canon.2 It is safe to assume that all the pibroch players who noted the music in writing spoke Gaelic as their first language.3 Certainly the great majority of pieces have been recorded with Gaelic titles as well as English. There can be little doubt that the English titles are generally translations of the Gaelic rather than the other way round.
