I TO THE llEADKU. TiiK few following pages have been cliiony compiled dotn the best works and most authentic documents that relate to the liistory of Scottish Highlanders, and their emigration to America. One of the objects of the writer has been to make the descendants of the early Highland settlers in IJritish America in some degree acciuainted with the loyalty and to emulate bravery of their ancestors ; and to e.\cite them those virtues for which their forefathers have become pro- verbial all over the world. And to them it may well be a subject of deep interest and pleasure, that even now they live under the Sovereign protection of the lineal descendant of King Robert Bruce; llcv Gracious Majesty, Queen Victokia, liaving sprung from the lloyal Stuarts of Scothind, by Princess Sophia, Grand-daughter of .Fames I. of I'.ngland, who was married to Ernest Augustus, the Ninth Elector of Hanover. Another motive for the following publication has arisen from a desire to afford, if possible, to those who enjoy " their native Highland Home," some account of their Countrymen in British America, and to throw out a feu particulars to such as may feel disposed to emigrate to \ova- Scotia, Capo Rrcton, New-Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, where the writer was stationed for some time, VI. niid liail iicccNs to iniicli iiifiiniiiuion in rclatinii to tlia Agrinihmul oapahilitieM of tlio ('(UMiliy.

A« the writer Ijas been unexpectedly deprivp'l of the srrvi- CCN of un individual who had been employed by him to aid in preparing the materials of this pamphlet, and its sole object being nlility, he trusts that any errors, particularly in (Jaclic wonls, that inny occur in it, will be viewed with lenity, and he sincerely hopes that the following pages may prove useful and interesting to his countryuien, and every friend to the improvement of the IJritish Provinces in North America.

Soon alter tlii* period, under tlie iuflueiiee of the passion lor emigration which \vu^ then raging in the Ilighlands, Kingsbiirgli and liis lady went to North Carolina, where they purchascd and settled upon an estate. As mentioned in the text, she bore with ner across the Atlantic the Prince's sheet, that it might ser\ i as her shroud, wherever it should he licr fate to lay down her bones. Mr. .Utcdonald liad scarcely been settled on his property, when the unfortunate contest between the <olonist.-j and the mother country involved him in trouble. Like most of hi;* coun- trymen in Afuenca, he sided with the Hritish government, and the consequence WHS, tl.at he wa^ imi)risoned as a dangerous person. On being liberated, he took arm.s against 'he colonists, us caj)tain in a regiment called the North Carolina Highlanders, and he and his wife met witli many strange adventures in the course of tlie contest. At the couchision of the war, liiey found it necessary to leave the country of their adoption, and return to .Skye. In the voyage homeward, the ves- sel encountered a French ship of war, and an action ensued. While the other ladies were conhned lielow. Flora insisted upon remaining on deck, where she endeavoured, by her voice and example, to animate the sailors. Cihe was unfor- tunately thrown down in the bustle, and broke her arm, w Inch caused her after- wards to observe that she had now perilled her life for tiie house of Stewart and the house of Drunswick. She spent the remainder of her life at Skye, and at her death, which took place JNIarch 5tii, 1790, when she had attained tiie age of seventy, was actually buried in the shroud which she !• id so strangely selected for that purpose in her youth, and carriet! with iier through so many adventures and migrations. She retained to the la.st that vivacity and vigour of character which has procured her so much historical distinction. Her liiisband, who survived lier a few years, died on the half-pay list as a British olficer ; and no fewer than five of her sons served Uieir king in a military capacity. Charles, the eldest son, was a captain in the Queen's Hangers. He was a most accomplished man: the late Lord IVIaiidonald, on seeing him low- ered into the grave, said, " There Ues the most finished gentleman of my family r.ni name." Alexander, the second son, was al.-o an ollicer : he was lost at sea. The third son, Ranald, was a captain of marines, of high professional character, and remarkable for the elegance of his appearance. James, the fourth son, served in Tarlton's British legion, and was a brave and experienced officer. Lieuteuanl- colouel John Macdonald, of Fxeter, is, I believe, the only surviving son. There were, moreover, two daughters, one of whom, Mrs. Major Macleod, of Lochbay, in the Isle of Skye, died within the last few years. In the war, between Great Britain and France, which pre- ceded the ]>eaco ot'l7ii3. His Majesty's Ishmd of Prince Edward, then called the Island of Saint John's, had bet dismantled of all its stock, property, and inhabitants, excepting three or four hundred, w ho had concealed themselves in the woods when the rest were shipped ofl'. These and their progeny are now called the French Acadians, and, being destitute of all other means of industry, they supported a precarious and miserable exist- ence by their dexterity in takitig wild game and fish, until they found better employment after the settlement of the Island had commenced subsequent to the year 1770. At the time this was the local state of that Island, Jolni MacDonald, Esquire, Chieftain of Glenaladale, impressed by the exagger- ni ated reports current in Europe of the superior qualities of Prince Edward Island, purchased an extensive allotment of land in it, conceived the idea of an extensive plan of emigration to ihat Colony, and sent his brother with an overseer and la- bourers, provided with every recpiisite for raisijig crops to sup- port some hundreds of settlers in the following year.

Then she consulted the tiny watch at her wrist and sat up with a start. "Grandmother!" she said excitedly, "we'll soon be in Woodford; that is, in just an hour. We're on time, you know. Hadn't we better be getting our things together?" Mrs. Clyde straightened up from the pillows, which Blue Bonnet had arranged comfortably for her afternoon nap, and peered out at the rolling hills and green meadow-lands. "I think we have plenty of time, Blue Bonnet," she said, smiling into the girl's eager face. "But perhaps we would better freshen up a bit. You are sure we are on time?" "Yes, I asked the conductor when I went back to see Solomon at the last station. Four-twenty sharp, at Woodford, he told Solomon, and Solomon licked his hand with joy. Poor doggie!

General information Preston is a city in the shire county of Lancashire, in the North West of England in the sovereign state of the United Kingdom. It’s “located on the north bank of the River Ribble.” (picture 1) 114,300 people live there (ONS, June 2008).1 With 142.22km² it’s about 65km² smaller than Stuttgart. 2 “… The name Preston is derived from Old English words meaning “Priest settlement” and in the Domesday Book appears as Prestune.” 3 The Domesday Book was completed in 1086 and it’s a collection of the great survey of England and Wales. 4 2. Pre-industrial era (shortly before the IR) The plague in November 1631 killed 1100 people in Preston in 12 month. The civil war from 1630 to 1650 and the Battle of Preston in 1648 have been very bad for the town, too. 5 The Jacobite Battle in November 1715 describes the battle, when the troops of King George defeated a Jacobite Army of 2,000 soldiers in the Church Street of Preston.

  • The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans Designation
    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.

  • The Bonnet Toun in 2006 I Was Invited to Curate a Small Mixed-Craft Show
    The Bonnet Toun In 2006 I was invited to curate a small mixed-craft show at the Dick Institute in Kilmarnock, a small town south of Glasgow. I went up to Scotland from London, expecting it to be all kilts and highland crags. I didn’t know that I was going to the enchanting lowlands of Ayrshire, with its rolling fields and beautiful coastline. The show I was working on included some textiles and knitting, and knowing that there was a history of woollen trade in the area, I decided to do a little research. My children’s grandmother had been to high school in Kilmarnock, where there had been a thriving business in knitting regimental bonnets. She was born in the rival town of Stewarton nearby, where her father was headmaster of the local school, while most of the rest of the village were involved in someway with the local woollen trade. Stewarton is still known as the ‘Bonnet Toun’, and knitted hats are still manufactured there, although the process has changed some since the sixteenth century. Most famous for its regimental, beret-style hats, modern fashions are also represented. Popular traditional designs include the Glengarry, the Balmoral (named when the Queen’s children wore them when holidaying there) and the Tam O’Shanter, all meeting with stringent Ministry of Defence requirements. [Stewarton headmaster William Waddell wearing a bonnet] While English bonnets were made from cloth or velvet, the Scots bonnet was knitted in the round. Usually dark blue, indigo dyed, with a red ‘torrie’ or pompom on top, there were several design variations.

  • John Hodgson Soldier, Surgeon, Agitator and Quaker?
    220 JOHN HODGSON SOLDIER, SURGEON, AGITATOR AND QUAKER? n 1954 Alan Cole presented "More Light on John Hodgson" in relation to the Peace Testimony of 1659 and two Quaker tracts of Ithat year, "A Letter from a Member of the Army, to the Committee of Safety, and Councell of Officers of the Army" and "Love, Kindness, and due Respect".1 Cole's piece was, in part, a response to an earlier consideration of the two tracts and their authorship.2 Unlike the 1950 piece Cole convincingly argued that the John Hodgson who signed both tracts was the same man. "It would certainly be a rather striking coincidence if two writers of the same name had published tracts with such marked similarities of argument and style as we find in these two pamphlets...".3 The other key point in Cole's article was that John Hodgson the Quaker, the author of both tracts, was "a civilian in the summer of 1659 when he addressed his paper, 'Love, Kindness, and due Respect' to the restored Rump... and that he subsequently enlisted or re-enlisted in the Army".4 Although Cole was unable to detail who Hodgson the Quaker might have been the 1950 piece very briefly dismissed a Captain John Hodgson as a possible author of the two tracts.5 However a more detailed consideration of this Captain John Hodgson does suggest that he may be the author of these tracts. There are some interesting parallels between what is known of John Hodgson the Quaker author and this Captain John Hodgson, soldier.6 Captain John Hodgson entered a company of foot in Sir Thomas Fairfax's regiment in his native Yorkshire in late 1642.

  • The Castlecary Hoard and the Civil War Currency Of
    THE CASTLECARY HOARD AND THE CIVIL WAR CURRENCY OF SCOTLAND DONAL BATESON THIS publication of an unrecorded hoard from Castlecary, ending with coins of the 1640s, presents an opportunity to examine the Civil War coin hoards from Scotland and the Scottish currency of the period. The hoard This is an enigmatic hoard in so far as it was recently re-discovered, in the National Museums of Scotland merely with a note saying, 'Castlecary Hoard 1926'. Nothing more is known of the circumstances of its finding or indeed whether it was brought to the then National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland in 1926 or subsequently. In any event it appears to have been put to one side and not returned to.1 Castlecary is a small village in Stirlingshire situated to the west of Falkirk.2 The find contains 134 coins, all of silver. The majority are English, issues of the Tower Mint, of Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I. In addition there are three Scottish coins of James VI as well as four of his Irish shillings. It includes no foreign coin. A summary shows: 8 shillings and 36 sixpences of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) 1 half-crown, 10 shillings and 8 sixpences of James I (1603-25) 26 half-crowns, 31 shillings and 7 sixpences of Charles I (1625-49) 2 thistle merks and 1 thirty shillings (Scots) of James VI (1567-1625) 4 Irish shillings of James I The face value of the English, and Irish, coins in the mid-seventeenth century was £7 6 s Od.
