  • CLAN DONNACHAIDH SOCIETY NEWSLETTER 2016 – No 1 News
    CLAN DONNACHAIDH SOCIETY NEWSLETTER 2016 – No 1 Welcome to a new issue of the Clan Donnachaidh Society newsletter. News from the Clan Centre The Council of the Clan Donnachaidh Society held a meeting at the clan centre on 23 April. Left: Billy Duncan, Gillespie Robertson and Colin Robertson in the courtyard at the clan centre before the meeting. The Council at work. From the left, going clockwise: The Chief, Gillespie Robertson (Vice-Chairman), Stuart Robertson, Fiona Dukes (Secretary), Duncan Huie (Chairman), Anne-Lise Robertson (hidden from view), Billy Duncan (hidden from view) and Colin Robertson. On Skype on the laptop: Christy Duncan Lange (International Vice- Chairperson) and Tim Duncan. At the Council meeting: Duncan Huie, Anne-Lise Robertson and Billy Duncan. Some views from the clan area in April The village of Kenmore was founded at the head of Loch Tay by the Campbells in the 16th century. The present church was built in 1760, replacing an earlier church on the same site. In the 18th century Robertsons, Reids and Duncans are recorded as living in the parish. However, settlement in the area goes back to much earlier times. In the photo taken at the head of Loch Tay, above right, an artificial island known as a crannog can be seen. Construction of crannogs on Loch Tay goes back 2500 years and the reconstructed prehistoric roundhouse at Oakbank on the southern shore is well worth a visit. Crannogs continued to be built and occupied into the Middle Ages. Queen Sybil, wife of Alexander I (reigned 1107 to 1124), died at a nunnery on a crannog in Loch Tay in 1122.

  • 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.

  • PH26 3HG Blair Atholl Preferred Site Hl
    CHRIS COWELL Planning and Rural Development Cairgorms National Park Authority 14 The Square Grantown on Spey PH26 3HG 4th April 2019 Dear CNPA Planning and Rural Development REF: PLDP 2020 - REPRESENTATION - BLAIR ATHOLL - PREFERRED SITES Hl AND H2 Please find below the summary of the considered thoughts of my family regarding the proposals for housing development in the context of Blair Atholl. You will see that our love of the countryside, appreciation for a healthy and safe environment and the belief in the need for far sighted strategic planning are reflected in these comments. We recognise the need for ongoing development in the area and have a desire to contribute constructively to the planningprocess. You will note that we do not agree with all of the development proposals put forwardby Cairngorms National Park Authority, but have tried to justify our thinking with fact and opinion and subsequently make constructive alternative suggestions to help meet the objectives of CNPA. We request that you receive these comments in the positive spirit with which they have been evolved. Blair Atholl Preferred Site Hl - Old Bridge of Tilt Development scale and density Maps, written records and aerial photographs since approximately 1750 suggest that the extent of Old Bridge of Tilt has been more or less the same forthat period. Of the 16 houses currently formingthe settlement, 8 have been built as in-fill development within the last 18 years. The area covered by the settlement is approximately 3ha i.e. a current housing density of approximately 5.3 units/ha. Prefered site Hl allows for an addition of up to 20 further dwellings on an area of lha i.e the number of dwellings in the settlement could be more than doubled and the proposed housing density at 20 units/ha would be approximately four times greater than is expressed in the character of the existing hamlet.

  • Highland Perthshire Through the Archive
    A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide.
