Illus 1 Site location Bellfield Farm, North Kessock BLNK08/009 Headland Archaeology Ltd BELLFIELD FARM, NORTH KESSOCK Area 2 and 3 Archaeological Excavation An archaeological excavation took place at Bellfield, North Kessock in advance of a housing development by Tulloch Homes Ltd. This was the second phase of excavation and encompassed three areas (2A, 2B and 3) deemed to be of high archaeological potential based on the results of an evaluation carried out in 2008. An earlier phase of excavation (Area 1) uncovered a group of Neolithic features while a circular cropmark was found to overlie a substantial roundhouse and associated features of Iron Age date (Jones 2009). The archaeological remains uncovered during the second phase of excavation at Bellfield Farm represent occupation in this area, beginning in the Neolithic, over a period of several thousand years. The prehistoric remains were by far the more extensive and include evidence of settlement, agricultural and industrial activity. The medieval activity was limited to two features, one in Area 2A and one in 2B, identified as grain-drying kilns. 1 1. INTRODUCTION 2.

KING AND COMPANY, PRINTERS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN. <> DEDICATION TO FIRST EDITION. TO MY REVERED FRIEND, THE REV. ALEXANDER MACGREGOR, M.A., Of the West Church, Inverness, as a humble tribute of my admiration of his many virtues, his genial nature, and his manly Celtic spirit. He has kept alive the smouldering embers of our Celtic Literature for half a century by his contributions, under the signature of " Sgiathanach," " Alas- tair Ruadh," and others, to the Teachdaire Gatdhealach, Cuairtear nan Gleann, Fear Tathaich tian Beann, An Gaidheal, The Highlander ; and, latterly, his varied and interesting articles in the Celtic Magazine have done much to secure to that Periodical its present, and rapidly increasing, popularity. He has now the pleasing satisfaction, in his ripe and mellow old age, of seeing the embers, which he so long and so carefully fostered, shining forth in the full blaze of a general admiration of the long despised and ignored Literature of his countrymen ; and to him no small share of the honour is due. That he may yet live many years in the enjoyment of health and honour, is the sincere desire of many a High- lander, and of none more so, than of his sincere friend, ALEXANDER MACKENZIE.

  • Remembering Knockbain Parish Heritage
    Remembering Knockbain Parish Heritage In 2014 people met to explore the heritage of Knockbain Parish on the Black Isle through courses, fieldtrips and sharing memories. In a short period of time, a great deal of information was collected about places in this often overlooked area of the Black Isle. The information in this document was collected during indoor sessions drawing on old maps and photographs, during walks to Munlochy, Kilmuir, Easter Suddie and Belmaduthy, and on visits to Highland Archives and Groam House Museum. Many of the sites are long forgotten, and some are deteriorating. The information has also been submitted to the Highland Council Historical Environment Record (the HER; her.highland.gov.uk), the database of all known heritage in the Highlands, and will lead to the creation of 70 new records. Later it will be submitted to Canmore, the Scottish database of heritage (canmore.rcahms.gov.uk). The group has also produced a walking leaflet for Munlochy Village, available locally. There is still more to learn, and further research and sessions to collect memories would expand this picture. The project was organised by Knockbain Community Council with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Highland Council. Courses and fieldtrips were led by Susan Kruse of ARCH (Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands). We would also like to thank the Highland Archives, Groam House Museum and the Taylor family. But most of all, thanks to the many people who contributed information, either during the sessions or even as we were passing their houses. Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands (ARCH) is a registered Scottish Charity, No.

Digitized by tine Internet Arciiive in 2010 with funding from University of Britisii Columbia Library http://www.archive.org/details/highlandsecondsiOOmacr PREFATORY NOTE. In the Folk-Lore of the Scottish Highlanders there is no chapter more extraordinary or interesting in its way than that which deals with the stories of the Second-Sight—a "gift," notwithstanding the ridicule of the unbelieving, that to the present day, in one or other of its manifestations, is not uncommon among the Highland people. There is no doubt that much of the merely traditional has gathered around the subject, but there still remains so considerable a body of well-authenticated facts that they deserve the closest study of Folk-Lorist and Psycholo- gist alike. As facts, they certainly challenge enquiry and invite elucidation. It is hoped that the following pages will, therefore, prove as helpful to the serious student as, it is believed, they will be welcome to the general reader—not in the light of the superstitious or the merely curious, but as a subject of particular interest in view of present-day res3arch in matters psychological.
