  • The Dewars of St. Fillan
    History of the Clan Macnab part five: The Dewars of St. Fillan The following articles on the Dewar Sept of the Clan Macnab were taken from several sources. No attempt has been made to consolidate the articles; instead they are presented as in the original source, which is given at the beginning of each section. Hence there will be some duplication of material. David Rorer Dewar means roughly “custodian” and is derived from the Gallic “Deoradh,” a word originally meaning “stranger” or “wanderer,” probably because the person so named carried St. Fillan’s relics far a field for special purposes. Later, the meaning of the word altered to “custodian.” The relics they guarded were the Quigrich (Pastoral staff); the Bernane (chapel Bell), the Fergy (possibly St. Fillan’s portable alter), the Mayne (St. Fillan’s arm bone), the Maser (St. Fillan’s manuscript). There were, of course other Dewars than the Dewars of St. Fillan and the name today is most familiar as that of a blended scotch whisky produced by John Dewar and Sons Ltd St. Fillan is mentioned in the Encyclopedia Britannica, 14th edition of 1926, as follows: Fillan, Saint or Faelan, the name of two Scottish saints, of Irish origin, whose lives are of a legendary character. The St. Fillan whose feast is kept on June 20 had churches dedicated to him at Ballyheyland, Queen’s county, Ireland, and at Loch Earn, Perthshire (see map of Glen Dochart). The other, who is commerated on January 9, was specially venerated at Cluain Mavscua in County Westmeath, Ireland. Also beginning about the 8th or 9th century at Strathfillan, Perthshire, Scotland, where there was an ancient monastery dedicated to him.

  • Feasibility Study
    for Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre Community Trust April 2020 Broch Field Feasibility Study Strathyre, Stirlingshire Broch Field Feasibility Study determined that the improvements to the landscape of the site, which can only be achieved through community ownership, would create an attractive Strathyre, Stirlingshire for BLS Community Trust and vibrant space which would balance with the additional burden of care required. These improvements would also have the potential to introduce additional use and income streams into the community. Summary The undertaking of a feasibility study to investigate potential for community ownership of the Broch Field, Strathyre, was awarded to Munro Landscape by the Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre (BLS) Community Trust. Community surveys, undertaken by BLS, confirmed a strong desire to take ownership of the field, which is utilised as a ‘village green’ for the local area and hosts regular community events. Key themes emanating from the survey results were taken forward to this study for assessment for viability. A concept proposals plans was produced to explore the potential for a reimagining of the current use of the field and enhancement of existing features. This was developed alongside investigations into the viability of each aspirational project and detailed costings breakdown. Overall conclusions from this study are that the Broch field is a much- needed community asset, with regular use and potential for sensitive, low- key community development. Expansion of the current facilities would support both local the community and visitors to the village and area. Implementation of landscaping improvements can be undertaken in conjunction with the introduction of facilities for the provision of a motorhome stopover, which would assist in supporting the ongoing costs of managing the site.
