  • The Sinclair Macphersons
    Clan Macpherson, 1215 - 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson, 20 January 2011 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz Clan Macpherson, 1215 to 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their traditional Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson Introduction The Clan Macpherson Museum (see right) is in the village of Newtonmore, near Kingussie, capital of the old Highland district of Badenoch in Scotland. It presents the history of the Clan and houses many precious artifacts. The rebuilt Cluny Castle is nearby (see below), once the home of the chief. The front cover of this chapter is the view up the Spey Valley from the memorial near Newtonmore to the Macpherson‟s greatest chief; Col. Ewan Macpherson of Cluny of the ‟45. Clearly, the district of Badenoch has long been the home of the Macphersons. It was not always so. This chapter will make clear how Clan Macpherson acquired their traditional lands in Badenoch. It means explaining why Clan Macpherson emerged from the Old Clan Chattan, was both a founding member of the Chattan Confederation and yet regularly disputed Clan Macintosh‟s leadership, why the Chattan Confederation expanded and gradually disintegrated and how Clan Macpherson gained its property and governance rights. The next chapter will explain why the two groups played different roles leading up to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The following chapter will identify the earliest confirmed ancestor in our family who moved to Portsoy on the Banff coast soon after the battle and, over the decades, either prospered or left in search of new opportunities.

    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 5.7 SOUTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE PLS Report No 20 AUGUST 2013 048/13 13/01180/S36 : CARBON FREE MOY LIMITED (CFML) MOY ESTATE TOMATIN BY INVERNESS Report by Head of Planning and Building Standards SUMMARY Description : Application to increase the potential generational capacity of the consented Moy Wind Farm from 41MW to 66MW. Recommendation - Raise No Objection Ward : 20 Inverness South Development Category : Section 36 Application – Electricity Act 1989. Pre-determination Hearing : Not Required Reason referred to Committee : 5 or more objections. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The application is to facilitate an increased power output from the 20 turbine wind farm project previously granted planning permission, on appeal, within Moy Estate. It offers a potential 66MW of generating capacity, an increase from the potential 41MW generating capacity associated with the approved scheme. 1.2 The application was submitted to the Scottish Government for approval under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. Should Ministers approve the development, it will carry deemed planning permission under Section 57(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The Council is a consultee on the proposed development. Should the Council object to the development, Scottish Ministers will require to hold a Public Local Inquiry to consider the development before determining the application. 1.3 As the application is not significantly different to the earlier planning application, the supporting information relies upon the Environmental Statement (ES) prepared for the planning application. In a similar way this report seeks to focus on the key differences between the applications and to update Committee on changes to those policy/material considerations relevant to the applications to help the Committee determine its position on the consultation from the Scottish Government.

  • 15. Cultural Heritage
    A9 Dualling Northern Section (Dalraddy to Inverness) A9 Dualling Tomatin to Moy Stage 3 Environmental Statement 15. Cultural Heritage 15.1. Introduction 15.1.1. This chapter presents the results of the cultural heritage assessment for the Proposed Scheme. The Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB Volume 11, Section 3, Part 2: HA208/07) identifies three specific areas of interest under the overarching aspect of cultural heritage: archaeological remains, historic buildings and historic landscapes. 15.1.2. Archaeological remains consider those materials created or modified by past human activities, which includes a wide range of visible and buried artefacts, field monuments, structures and landscape features. Built heritage considers architectural, designed or other structures with a significant historical value, such as listed buildings. The historic landscape concerns perceptions that emphasise evidence of the past and its significance in shaping the present landscape. 15.1.3. Within the context of the DMRB, a cultural heritage asset is considered to be an individual archaeological site or building, a monument or group of monuments, an historic building or group of buildings and/or historic landscape. 15.1.4. In relation to archaeological remains and historic buildings the assessments have generally focussed on known sites, features, buildings and structures or sites and areas identified as having archaeological potential within the study area. 15.1.5. In relation to historic landscapes, the assessment has focussed on historic landscape types and historic landscape units within the assessment study area where social and economic activity has served to shape the landscapes in which there is a discernible awareness of their evolution.

Shortly before the War broke out a Dr von Guthry. of Posen, came to see me on his way to Edin- burgh, where he wished to make some in- vestigations into the family history. He was able to give certain assistance to Mr A. Francis Steuart in editing the "Scots in Poland" for the Scottish History Society. By cutting off their tails, as it were, a number of Jews have passed into something Scots, thus Rosenberg, Rosenbloom, Rosen- thal, and so on, have become simple "Rose." though not of the Kilravock type. No doubt it is true as ever that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, except when its stalk is: -berg, -bloom, or -baum. From time to time during the War pro- posals have been made to deal more dras- tically with changes of name than we have hitherto done, but it may be questioned whether anything will be done to stop the practice altogether. As it is, the custom must lead to a great deal of confusion for genealo- gists, and the writing of family history will become more difficult than ever. BATTLE OF GLENLIVET.

The woman, traditionally known as Janet Horne, warmed herself, thinking the fire had been lit to take the chill from her bones and not, as was actually intended, to burn her to death. Or so the story goes. This case is well known as the last example of the barbarous practice of burning witches in Scotland. It is also infamous for some of its more unusual characteristics – such as the alleged witch ‘having ridden upon her own daughter’, whom she had ‘transformed into a pony’, and of course, the memorable image of the poor, deluded soul warming herself while the instruments of her death were being prepared. Impressive materials, though the most familiar parts of the story did not appear in print until at least 92 years after the event!1 Ironically, although Gaelic-speaking Scotland has been noted for the relative absence of formal witch persecutions, it has become memorable as the part of Scotland that punished witches later than anywhere else.

  • They Came from Tiree
    They Came From Tiree by Gene Donald Lamont CHAPTER THREE THE MACLEAN YEARS Under the Lordship of the Isles The Macleans first gained a foothold in Tiree in the first half of the 14th century, when Iain Dubh Maclean of Duart, fourth chief of Clan Maclean, was named as bailie of the southern part of Tiree and as constable of Isleburgh Castle. A charter was issued in 1344 to this effect, but it was probably only confirming what Iain Dubh had held for several years. The bailery of Tiree was comprised of Mannal and Heylipol, and possibly some adjacent territory, while Isleburgh was the fortress of the Lord of the Isles in Loch an Eilean in Heylipol. These were regranted to Lachlan Lubanach by Donald, Lord of the Isles, in 1390. In the beginning such property was only held at the will of the Lord of the Isles, but over time became a heriditary grant. The Macleans of Duart held Isleburgh Castle and the orignal land of the bailery of Tiree until they were lost to the Campbells in the latter part of the 17th century, except for a brief period, of say 1492-1509. During those years Maclean of Lochbuie, who also held property on the island, took advantage of the fact that Maclean of Duart was out of favor with the government and managed to be appointed the bailie of the southern part of Tiree. For a while both held the same office, which exacerbated the rivalry between these two branches of the clan, but the pendulum swung back to the Duart group’s favor very shortly.
