  • A History of the Lairds of Grant and Earls of Seafield
    t5^ %• THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY GAROWNE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD. THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

  • Adult Salmon That Enter the Upstream Trap at Tournaig Are Mostly Female
    Adult salmon that enter the upstream trap at Tournaig are mostly female Peter Cunningham and Ben Rushbrooke, [email protected], Wester Ross Fisheries Trust, October 2012. Ben Rushbrooke photographing a grilse by the Tournaig trap in August 2012. The little Tournaig River near Poolewe is one of the smallest river systems within the WRFT area that is known to have supported an Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) population. As such, Tournaig represents ‘marginal habitat’ for wild salmon. Since 1999, the Wester Ross Fisheries Trust has operated an upstream – downstream trap near the mouth of the river system to learn about salmon and sea trout populations to inform local fisheries managers. Since 2004, the annual number of adult salmon entering the Tournaig system has varied between a low of 6 fish in 2009 and a record catch of 43 fish (to date) in 2012 [Figure 1]. Over 94% of these fish were grilse, with a majority entering the upstream trap between the last week of August and the end of September. On checking back over the years, it has become clear that the majority of grilse which have entered the Tournaig system were female fish. Of 187 grilse which were recorded entering the trap during the period 2004 – 2012 (to date), 121 (65%) were classed as female, 52 (28%) were classed as male; and the remainder (7%) were indeterminate [Figure 2]. Figure 1. Total catches of wild salmon (including grilse) and sea trout (including finnock) recorded in the upstream trap at Tournaig 1999 – 2012. The 2012 catch is at 6 October 2012 (and may be added to .

  • CHAPTER 3 Kenneth of the Nose, Chief 1338—1350. the Next Chief
    CHAPTER 3 Kenneth of the Nose, Chief 1338—1350. The next chief, after Ian Murdoch, was another Kenneth, Coinneach na Sroine, or Kenneth of the Nose, so called because of the large size of his nose. This Kenneth married Fionnaghal, a daughter of Torquil Macleod of Lewis and his wife Dorothea, who was a daughter of the Earl of Ross. If the Mackenzies had ever previously owned the lands of Kintail, by 1342 they were certainly, once again, back in the hands of the Earl of Ross, for William, the fifth earl, granted a charter of “the ten davachs of Kintail” to Reginald, son of Roderick of the Isles. This charter was confirmed by King David II in 1344. This also suggests that perhaps the Mackenzies had not always supported the king. Around this time the Mackenzies living in the western part of Ross became involved in a battle with the Earl of Ross who raided Kenlochewe, carrying off spoils. He was supported by clan Munro and the Dingwalls. Kenneth pursued the raiders recovering the spoils and killing some of the insurgents. The Earl was displeased by this affront to his dignity and power and set out to correct this matter once and for all by showing the populace who was boss. He successfully hunted down the luckless Kenneth and captured him. He further demonstrated his supreme power in the Western Highlands by having the Mackenzie chief executed at Inverness. So much for the descendant of King John! William followed up by granting the Mackenzie lands of Kenlochewe to Leod MacGilleandreis, who was instrumental in Kenneth's capture.
