Download date: 24. Sep. 2021 The Origins and Early Development of the Parochial System in the Orkney Earldom Sarah Jane Gibbon M.A., M.Phil. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 14 th June 2006 Orkney College, UHI Millennium Institute Abstract The thesis uses a landscape history approach, drawing on existing records and augmenting these with extensive observations in the field, towards understanding the location and context of ecclesiastical sites and parish boundaries in Orkney. An historiographical assessment of previous work, and of the evidence on which it was based, prefaces the detailed re-examination of the individual chapel sites in their landscape setting. The patterns that emerge from this study are compared with selected examples in Shetland and Caithness, and related to the wider European context. The present study significantly places parish formation in the twelfth to thirteenth centuries, whereas the established view had held that the parishes originated in an early pre-Norse context. The chronology suggested is an initial period of private chapel building within districts definable as settlement areas, from the middle to late eleventh century, leading from the middle twelfth century onwards to the definition of parishes and designation or foundation of parish churches. The designation of parish churches and creation of parishes is seen as a direct result of the imposition of tithe. Certain pre-parochial churches of higher status may have administered a form of pastoral care in larger pre- parochial units. By examining the chapels in their settlement context, the extent of several of these larger units has been postulated. i Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisors Raymond Lamb, Barbara Crawford and Jane Downes for their support, guidance and encouragement. Special thanks go to Barbara for introducing me to Norway and for answering my endless questions, and to Raymond for accompanying me on my Caithness fieldwork. Orkney Archaeological Trust must be thanked for their support and for providing unlimited access to the SMR and their library; I am indebted to Julie Gibson, Nick Card and Judith Robertson for their expert advice and assistance. Particularly, I would like to thank Judith Robertson for helping with the inventory maps. Donna Heddle has been extremely kind taking time to teach me Latin and Old Norse and giving support throughout the research. I also wish to thank John Wood and Carol Christiansen from Highland and Shetland SMRs respectively. Thanks go to the staff at Orkney College for providing me with resources and especially Mike Berg for his patience with all my computer problems and for helping me print the thesis. I am grateful to the Orkney Library and Archive where I spent almost a year studying before and during the Foot and Mouth outbreak. Special thanks go to Alison Fraser, Phil Astley and David Mackie for their assistance. Shetland and Wick Archives must also be thanked for their help. Keeping in contact with the academic world outside Orkney has been possible through the help of Bobby Leslie and Maureen Drever and through correspondence with Steve Driscoll, Davie Brown, Alan Macniven, Jón Viðar Sigurðsson, Simon Taylor, David Dumville, Ray Moore, Carol Christiansen and Shetland Archive. I am most thankful to the landowners who permitted me to visit sites on their land and to those people who provided information and local traditions.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Rod McCullagh, Barbara Crawford, Eric Walls, Raymond Lamb, Paul Keldie, Pamela Campbell, Robert Gibbon, and John and Barbara Grieve for accompanying me on site visits, and to Sally Foster, Nick Card, Robert Gibbon and John Grieve for providing information on sites that I was unable to visit. Thanks also go to Tim Stevens and Chris Lowe for providing the opportunity to excavate medieval cemeteries and to Chris Lowe, John Hunter and Ronan Toolis for allowing access to their excavations. I also wish to thank my friends and family without whose support and encouragement I could not have completed this thesis and especially Tom Rendall and Anne Brundle. I am deeply indebted to Liz Gilmore for her incredible patience and for kindly giving up so much of her time to proofreading the thesis. I am extremely grateful to my husband, Robert, for all his assistance, for his patience and for taking care of me this past year. Finally, and most of all, I would like to thank my parents, John and Barbara Grieve, for their endless encouragement and for nurturing my passion for Orkney’s history.

It is due to the Public to state that, in order to procure informa- tion for the " City " portion of this Directory, from Five to Six Thousand Schedules were issued, for the purpose of being filled up by the Inhabitants. In transcribing these Schedules, the utmost care was taken to preserve the exact address and orthography of Name which had been given; and, still farther to preserve the accuracy of the Work, the ' whole of the Names, after they had been put into type, were again, at a large sacrifice of time, care- fully compared, one by one, with the original Schedules. The " County " Directory, which forms an important part of the Work, has been made up from returns furnished, in almost every instance, by the Schoolmasters of the respective Parishes. To the Gentlemen who have thus so kindly assisted him, the Publisher gladly embraces the present opportunity of returning his most grateful thanks. The short delay which has occurred in getting the Work issued, has been as much a disappointment to the Publisher as it can have been to his Subscribers. To those of them, however, who may have been incommoded by the delay, he begs to offer a respectful apology, and to assure them that, from the complicated and laborious nature of the Work, (this Directory being an entirely new compilation), the delay was found to be quite un- avoidable.

  • Caithness County Council
    Caithness County Council RECORDS’ IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference number: CC Alternative reference number: Title: Caithness County Council Dates of creation: 1720-1975 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 10 bays of shelving Format: Mainly paper RECORDS’ CONTEXT Name of creators: Caithness County Council Administrative history: 1889-1930 County Councils were established under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889. They assumed the powers of the Commissioners of Supply, and of Parochial Boards, excluding those in Burghs, under the Public Health Acts. The County Councils also assumed the powers of the County Road Trusts, and as a consequence were obliged to appoint County Road Boards. Powers of the former Police Committees of the Commissioners were transferred to Standing Joint Committees, composed of County Councillors, Commissioners and the Sheriff of the county. They acted as the police committee of the counties - the executive bodies for the administration of police. The Act thus entrusted to the new County Councils most existing local government functions outwith the burghs except the poor law, education, mental health and licensing. Each county was divided into districts administered by a District Committee of County Councillors. Funded directly by the County Councils, the District Committees were responsible for roads, housing, water supply and public health. Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archive 1 Provision was also made for the creation of Special Districts to be responsible for the provision of services including water supply, drainage, lighting and scavenging. 1930-1975 The Local Government Act (Scotland) 1929 abolished the District Committees and Parish Councils and transferred their powers and duties to the County Councils and District Councils (see CC/6).

SERANNE Laboratoire de Gdologie des Bassins, CNRS u.a.1371, 34095 Montpellier cedex 05, France Abstract: The Old Red Sandstone (Middle Devonian) Orcadian basin was formed as a consequence of extensional collapse of the Caledonian orogen. Onshore study of these collapse-basins in Orkney and Shetland provides directions of extension during basin development. The origin of folding of Old Red Sandstone sediments, that has generally been related to a Carboniferous inversion phase, is discussed: syndepositional deformation supports a Devonian age and consequently some of the folds are related to basin formation. Large-scale folding of Devonian strata results from extensional and left-lateral transcurrent faulting of the underlying basement. Spatial variation of extension direction and distribution of extensional and transcurrent tectonics fit with a model of regional releasing overstep within a left- lateral megashear in NW Europe during late-Caledonian extensional collapse.
