After the ‘discovery’ of African pygmies in the 1860s, little people became a powerful way of imaginatively connecting to an inconceivably distant past, and the place of humans within it. Little people in fin de siècle narratives have been commonly interpreted as atavistic, stunted warnings of biological reversion. I suggest that there are other readings available: by deploying two nineteenth-century anthropological theories – E. B. Tylor’s doctrine of ‘survivals’, and euhemerism, a model proposing that the mythology surrounding fairies was based on the existence of real ‘little people’ – they can also be read as positive symbols of the tenacity of the human spirit, and as offering access to a sacred, spiritual, or magic, world.

  • Strathyre and Loch Earn

    Strathyre and Loch Earn

    STRATHYRE AND LOCH EARN SPECIAL QUALITIES OF BREADALBANE STRATHYRE & LOCH EARN Key Features Small flats strips of farmland around watercourses Open upland hills Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’Chroin Loch Lubnaig and Loch Earn Pass of Leny Glen Ogle Landmark historic buildings and heritage sites including Edinample Castle and Dundurn Pictish Hill Fort Summary of Evaluation Sense of Place The visual/sense of place qualities are important. The open upland hills dominate much of this area, with Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’ Chroin the highest peaks, creating an open and vast sense of place with diverse features such as rocky outcrops and scree. Although open uplands are characteristic of much of the highland area of the Park they are distinctive in the Breadalbane area as being generally higher and more unbroken with distinct exposed upper slopes. Loch Earn and Loch Lubnaig are the two main lochs in the area and both have quite distinct characters. Loch Lubnaig is enclosed by heavily planted glen sides and rugged craggy hills such as Ben Ledi and the loch shores are largely undeveloped. Loch Earn in contrast is broad in expanse and flanked by steep hills to the north and south. There are areas of residential, recreational and commercial development along areas of the north and south shore. The flat glen floors are a focus for communication routes and settlement. The flat strips of farmland around the watercourses provide an enclosed landscape which contrasts with the surrounding hills. Cultural Heritage The cultural heritage of the area is of high importance with substantial evidence of continuity of use of the landscape.
  • Mclaren High School Former Pupils' Newsletter

    Mclaren High School Former Pupils' Newsletter

    McLaren High School Dear Friends of McLaren High School Welcome to the 2015 edition of the Former Pupils newsletter. I hope the following articles give you a flavour of what has been going on at McLaren High School during Session 2014/15. As you will see we continue to be a very busy, thriving and productive school community. 50th Anniversary Celebration – McLaren Five 0:50 Years at Mollands Road McLaren High School celebrates 50 years at the Mollands Road campus after the move from the old school building in Bridgend, now Callander Primary. A number of events are taking place on Saturday 5 September to help celebrate this milestone and includes Sports Matches, Tours of the School & Exhibition and also a Ceilidh. It would be great to see many FPs come and join us. More information regarding these events can be found at the back of the newsletter. Orchestra Tour 2014 After over a year of planning and months of rehearsing a party of seventy pupils and nine staff left for Spain in June 2014 to embark on a week-long tour playing four concerts on the Costa Brava. The first concert in Lloret de Mar was going well until a thunder storm approached and the group had to cut short the performance. The theme for Star Wars has never been played so fast, or with lighting (or was it lightning!?) effects. The pupils showed great professionalism in dismantling the orchestra and PA system and loading up all the equipment on the bus in less than ten minutes before the heavy rain came on! The group visited Barcelona, taking in the sights and sounds of La Rambla with street performers, shops and cafes.

  • Late-Victorian Folklore: Constructing the Science of Fairies

    Late-Victorian Folklore: Constructing the Science of Fairies

    Late-Victorian Folklore: Constructing the Science of Fairies Francesca Bihet Introduction In Andrew Lang’s and May Kendall’s satire That Very Mab (1885) the fairy Queen is captured by a scientist, treated like a butterfly and categorised. When his son starts worshiping the fairy, the scientist proclaims to have discovered the origin of religion. ‘It is worshipping butterflies, with a service of fetich stones. The boy has returned to it by an act of unconscious inherited memory, derived from Palaeolithic Man’ (40). This ‘amusing moment of self-satire’ (Silver 1999: 202), parodies anthropologists searching for the origins of ancient beliefs, especially in fairies. The origin of fairy belief was also one of the first questions addressed by Thomas Keightley in The Fairy Mythology (1828: 3-8). This question of origins also became centrally important to the late Victorian fairy science of the Folklore Society (FLS). Driven by a cultural Darwinian obsession with origins and spurred on by new anthropological theories, folklorists attempted to use cultural survivals to fill the vastly expanded boundaries of human time. Gillian Bennett notes, alongside the field of geology, Darwinism ‘opened up a vast chasm of uncharted ages which, like a vacuum, demanded to be filled with-something’ (1994: 27), therefore anthropologists employed evolutionary theories to provide new explanations. She explains that cultural evolution enabled the ‘fragmentary and diverse materials of anthropology’ to be systemised, promising a ‘scientific basis’ upon which to establish ‘the construction of a prehistory of mankind’ (27). The scientific methodologies of anthropology, to which most FLS members were committed adherents, could now explain the popular Victorian theme of fairies as survivals of ancient religions, primitive animistic beliefs, or half memories of ancient peoples distorted through time.

    10. Appendices Appendix 2: Report on Archival Research & Timeline th by Morag Cross, 17 ​ April 2019 ​ Contents Purpose and Scope 1 Timeline 4 Elizabeth Buchanan of Leny (c1701-76) 15 Acknowledgements 69 Bibliography 69 Archive Sources 70 National Library of Scotland (NLS) 70 Historic Environment Scotland (HES) 71 National Records of Scotland (NRS) 72 Purpose and Scope Leny Woods are situated in Callander Parish, on Leny Estate, which seems to have been a discrete unit for most of its history. This chronology of the woodland management is abridged from the accompanying complete report. Apart from this brief initial summary, the detailed interpretation of the documentary record is outwith the scope of the study. The initial search was for information about charcoal production specifically on Leny estate, but as very little data remained, the scope was rapidly widened. It included the general history of wood cutting, the associated contracts selling the growing wood for defined periods, and conditions of sale. The Buchanan of Leny papers in the National Records of Scotland consist primarily of title deeds and charters, and contain very few factors’ or financial records that might illuminate the approach to forestry and arboriculture. Some relevant papers may exist locally at Cambusmore estate, but it was not possible to visit. th Consequently, archives of the 18 ​ century Commissioners on the Forfeited Estates, and of the ​ Dukes of Montrose, were consulted for insights about surrounding areas. This gave context, contemporary woodcutting contracts, and activities similar to those occurring on Leny. Much of Forfeited Estates information covered the neighbouring Barony of Strathyre, which like Leny, adjoins Loch Lubnaig.
