The group stayed in Inveraray and included a number of NOSAS members who enjoyed the usual well researched sites and excellent evening talks. The first site was a Neolithic chambered cairn in Crarae Gardens. This cairn was excavated in the 1950s when it was discovered to contain inhumations and cremation burials. The chamber is divided into three sections by two septal slabs with the largest section at the rear. The next site was Arichonan township which overlooks Caol Scotnish, an inlet of Loch Sween, and which was cleared in 1848 though there were still some households listed in the 1851 census. Chambered cairn Marion Ruscoe Later maps indicate some roofed buildings as late as 1898.

  • The Misty Isle of Skye : Its Scenery, Its People, Its Story
    THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES c.'^.cjy- U^';' D Cfi < 2 H O THE MISTY ISLE OF SKYE ITS SCENERY, ITS PEOPLE, ITS STORY BY J. A. MACCULLOCH EDINBURGH AND LONDON OLIPHANT ANDERSON & FERRIER 1905 Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome, I would see them before I die ! But I'd rather not see any one of the three, 'Plan be exiled for ever from Skye ! " Lovest thou mountains great, Peaks to the clouds that soar, Corrie and fell where eagles dwell, And cataracts dash evermore? Lovest thou green grassy glades. By the sunshine sweetly kist, Murmuring waves, and echoing caves? Then go to the Isle of Mist." Sheriff Nicolson. DA 15 To MACLEOD OF MACLEOD, C.M.G. Dear MacLeod, It is fitting that I should dedicate this book to you. You have been interested in its making and in its publica- tion, and how fiattering that is to an author s vanity / And what chief is there who is so beloved of his clansmen all over the world as you, or whose fiame is such a household word in dear old Skye as is yours ? A book about Skye should recognise these things, and so I inscribe your name on this page. Your Sincere Friend, THE A UTHOR. 8G54S7 EXILED FROM SKYE. The sun shines on the ocean, And the heavens are bhie and high, But the clouds hang- grey and lowering O'er the misty Isle of Skye. I hear the blue-bird singing, And the starling's mellow cry, But t4eve the peewit's screaming In the distant Isle of Skye.

  • THE ISLE of SKYE in the OLDEN TIMES. by the Rev
    THE ISLE OF SKYE IN THE OLDEN TIMES. By the Rev. ALEX. MACGREGOR, M.A. OF late years, and even this present season, much has been written about this tourists and others interesting Island by ; con- yet there are many relics, legends, and subjects of folk-lore " " nected with the far-famed Isle of Mist which have not as yet been fully developed. Such learned and enthusiastic gentle- men as the late Alexander Smith, Sheriff Nicolson of of the Kirkcudbright, and others, have given vivid descriptions unrivalled of this still much scenery remarkable island ; yet remains to be explored and detailed as to the origin, history, and antiquity of the numberless duns or forts which once surrounded and protected it. With each and all of these romantic that places of defence there is a history connected, and where is not is history reliable and confirmed by facts, the blank amply from supplied by fanciful but interesting legends, handed down ancient days by tradition, and fostered by the natural feelings and superstitious beliefs of the natives " " How well if the talented Nether-Lochaber were located even for a in the month this interesting isle, to enjoy pure hospitality and friendship of its proverbially kind inhabitants. well were and How. he to roam freely amid its peaked mountains shaded valleys, to visit its dims and strongholds, and its varie- gated natural curiosities, and withal to make his magic pen bear upon its archaeological stores and its numberless specimens of interesting folk-lore. My learned friend would feel no ordinary interest in handling, if not in wrapping himself in, the Fairy Flag preserved in Dunvegan Castle.

  • The Last Norseman
    MacAskills of Rubh’ an Dùnain Society The last Norsemen in the Isles? Raghnall MacilleDhuibh (First published in the West Highland Free Press 31.08.07) AS everyone knows, the Isles were once part of the kingdom of Norway, but the Gaelic language gradually absorbed the Viking settlers. This even happened in places like Skye which had belonged to the Picts. So what traces remain of Norse origins amongst the people? Off-hand, I can think of eleven families of Norse extraction – MacAskills, MacAulays, MacCorquodales, MacCrimmons, MacIvers, MacKillops, MacLeods, MacPhails, MacRailds, MacSwans and Nicolsons. They were proud of their origin. Many of them wore it on their sleeves by giving Norse names to their children. The favourite MacLeod forename was Thórmódhr, which means “the Mind (or Courage) of the god Thor” – Thórr “Thor”, módhr “mind, courage”. When Gaelic took over it became Tormod. Later on in the Middle Ages, a peculiar thing happened. It became necessary to write Tormod down in documents composed in Latin, Norman French or English. And it was turned into Normanus, Normand, Norman. I suppose this was because the chiefs of Lewis and Skye were the leading Northmen or Norsemen in Scotland, and because so many of them were called Tormod, and because there’s some similarity in sound between Tormod and Norman. The MacLeods are descended from Leòd or Leod (Ljótr, “Ugly”). He was born about 1210 or 1220. According to the late Rev. William Matheson, he appears to have been a son of Olvir, son of Bálki, son of Olvir Rósta, who was described in the “Orkneyinga Saga” as “the tallest of men, and strong of limb, exceedingly overbearing, and a great fighter”.
