  • Heraldry Arms Granted to Members of the Macneil, Mcneill, Macneal, Macneile Families
    Heraldry Arms granted to members of the MacNeil, McNeill, Macneal, MacNeile families The law of heraldry arms In Scotland all things armorial are governed by the laws of arms administered by the Court of the Lord Lyon. The origin of the office of Lord Lyon is shrouded in the mists of history, but various Acts of Parliament, especially those of 1592 and 1672 supplement the established authority of Lord Lyon and his brother heralds. The Lord Lyon is a great officer of state and has a dual capacity, both ministerial and judicial. In his ministerial capacity, he acts as heraldic advisor to the Sovereign, appoints messengers-at-arms, conducts national ceremony and grants arms. In his judicial role, he decides on questions of succession, authorizes the matriculation of arms, registers pedigrees, which are often used as evidence in the matter of succession to peerages, and of course judges in cases when the Procurator Fiscal prosecutes someone for the wrongful use of arms. A System of Heraldry Alexander Nisbet Published 1722 A classic standard heraldic treatise on heraldry, organized by armorial features used, and apparently attempting to list arms for every Scottish family, alive at the time or extinct. Nesbit quotes the source for most of the arms included in the treatis alongside the blazon A System of Heraldry is one of the most useful research sources for finding the armory of a Scots family. It is also the best readily available source discussing charges used in Scots heraldry . The Court of the Lord Lyon is the heraldic authority for Scotland and deals with all matters relating to Scottish Heraldry and Coats of Arms and maintains the Scottish Public Registers of Arms and Genealogies.

New York, U. 5. A. From Painting by Dr. E, F. Coriu, Paris K.1s11\1 UL CASTLE} IsLE OF BAH HA PREFACE AVING a Highlander's pride of race, it was perhaps natural that I should have been deeply H interested, as a lad, in the stirring tales and quaint legends of our ancient Clan. With maturity came the desire for dependable records of its history, and I was disappointed at finding only incomplete accounts, here and there in published works, which were at the same time often contradictory. My succession to the Chiefship, besides bringing greetings from clansmen in many lands, also brought forth their expressions of the opinion that a complete history would be most desirable, coupled with the sug­ gestion that, as I had considerable data on hand, I com­ pile it. I felt some diffidence in undertaking to write about my own family, but, believing that under these conditions it would serve a worthy purpose, I commenced this work which was interrupted by the chaos of the Great War and by my own military service. In all cases where the original sources of information exist I have consulted them, so that I believe the book is quite accurate.

  • Fieldwork Report
    Fieldwork Report Ruth Brennan March 2013 Overview Since January 2012 (the date of the last Fieldwork Report) the researcher has continued to make frequent trips to Barra to further her understanding of the conflict between Scottish Natural Heritage and the local community over the proposed designation of marine Special Areas of Conservation (mSACs) in the Sound of Barra and East of Mingulay. In the interests of clarity, the timeline in Appendix 2 provides a chronological summary of significant events relating to the research on Barra over the past 14 months. Ongoing collaboration with human ecologist Iain MacKinnon from the Isle of Skye and Glasgow-based visual artist Stephen Hurrel1 has led to the formation of a Mapping the Sea Group2 whose work continues to inform and develop this research through the Connecting Coastal Communities and Sea Stories-Sgeulachdan na Mara projects. Connecting Coastal Communities The Connecting Coastal Communities project (funded by Colmcille3) drew on the testimonies of older fishermen on the islands of Barra (Outer Hebrides) and Arranmore (Donegal, Ireland) to begin to gain an understanding of the sea as it is ‘known’ by local fishermen. While the intention was to generate a dynamic map of the sea (to reflect different layers and forms of intergenerational knowledge employed by the fishermen based on an ancient and evolving relationship with the seas in which they work) as part of the Connecting Coastal Communities project, time and budget constraints meant that this was not possible. The outcome of the project was instead the publication of a short trilingual book, Duthchas na Mara - Belonging to the Sea (MacKinnon and Brennan, 2012), which explores the cultural roots of maritime conflict on Barra and Arranmore through describing the sense of belonging to the sea (duthchas) and the role this sense of belonging plays in the life of these island communities.
