This study, positioned within the historiography of the Disruption, is responding to a recognisedneed for pursuing local studies in the searchfor explanationsfor reactionsto the Disruption. Accepting the value of comparison and contextualisation and assuming a case study approach,it has selectedthree particular Highland communitiesin order to discoverhow they actually responded to the Disruption and why. Contrasting responsesto the event furnished the determinant for selection, the parish being the elected geographicaldimension In since the relationship to a specific church and minister can be readily determined. the in attempt to discover why reactions differed the exploration of the dynamics of life each level community, the multiplicity, complexity and interplay between factors operating at this broad to elicit specific responses,should likewise point to the varying applicability of generalisationsin local contexts. To contextualisethe thesis, the rationale for the study is precededby an exploration into the historiography of the Disruption. A description of the local scenario around the time of the event ensues, followed by chapters presenting evidence concerning the environment experienced by parishioners, acknowledging the comparative aspect. The socio-economic background covers such information as population distribution, occupational profiles and domestic milieu and the cultural milieu absorbs elements such as education, language, perceived behavioural characteristics,customs and beliefs. The religious scene incorporates The material on history, physical settings for worship and bodies or individuals of influence. noteworthy themesof spirituality, revivals and ministers and their kinship networks are then factors given specific consideration. The study concludes with a summary of the web of contributing to responsesto the Disruption in the three parishesand a systematiccomparison of the applicability therein of the various hypothesesoutlined in the introduction. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. I owe a debt of gratitude to a numberof individuals and bodies. Firstly, I want to mention the UHI Millennium Institute, without whose generoussponsorship I would not have beenable to pursuemy research.Secondly, I wish to expressmy grateful thanks to my Director of Studies, Dr. Robert Stradling, for his untiring support, advice and encouragement.Thirdly, I name in gratitude the other two membersof my supervisory team, Dr. Henry Sefton, whose valuable commentson the religious backgroundhave helped me to avoid any Presbyterianpitfalls, and ProfessorDonald Meek, my Gaelic adviser, who not only has furnished translations for this non-Gaelic speakerbut, through his intimate knowledge of `Highland culture,' has furnished me with invaluableadvice in this field. I have also received support and advice from staff, not all of whom I can name, in a number of libraries and other institutions, As regards libraries, the Scottish Room of Edinburgh City Library on George IV Bridge, Inverness City Library, Portree Library and the Library of Sabhal Mör Ostaig on Skye (Christine and Gordon) have been rich sources of information.

Bibliography. i. 1 CHAPTER 1. CONTEXTUALISING THE STUDY. 1. Background to the Disruption. On May 180' 1843 numerous ministers and elders of the Church of Scotland `left St. Andrew's Church in George Street in Edinburgh, which was the meeting place of the 1843 General Assembly........ and marched down to Tanfield Hall in Canonmills. There they constituted the " first Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland. Ansdell affirms that approximately 470 of the 1195 Church of Scotland ministers seceded and that shortly afterwards 800 congregations of this newly established denomination existed within Scotland, numbering between 750,000 and 2 800,000 people. Although these figures are admittedly approximations and other writers furnish slight variations, Lynch, for example, quoting a figure of 454 seceding ministers3 and 4 Burleigh asserting that 451 out of 1203 ministers left the Establishment, nevertheless they provide a good indication of the scale of this well-documented event. In recent years there has been a shift in the historiography of the Disruption away from a concern with competing causal hypotheses to a more holistic concern with reconstructing the mosaic of influences and factors contributing to the split within the church. Investigation of such factors has been undertaken on both a nationwide basis, as, for instance, in the work of Drummond and Bulloch, and also on a regional or more local level, as exemplified in the studies by Hillis and MacLaren. Spiritual, disputes over religious practices, religio-political, socio-political, socio-economic and cultural facets are among the elements which have been identified, specific examples including the spiritual headship of the Church, the legacy of the Covenants, the influence of the Enlightenment, theological disputes, changes in socio- i Ansdell, Douglas(1998a), p. 62- 2 Ibid., p.56. 3 Lynch, Michael (1992), p.397. I3urleigh,J. II. S. (1960), p352. 2 economic structures and the political climate, as well as the precipitating `triggers' sparking off the walk out led by Chalmers. Patronage was a particularly divisive issue. This system gave the recognised patron, often a major landowner or the Crown, the right of presenting a minister to the parish church without recourse to parishioners' wishes. William and Mary removed this right at the time of the `Glorious Revolution' of 1690, when the General Assembly finally replaced bishops as the apex of the church courts. However, an Act of Queen Anne (1712) restored patronage. The issue of patronage and the question of the state's role in religion are reflected in the secessions which occurred during the eighteenth century, although it can be broadly argued that Protestantism is `potentially more fissile than Catholicism because almost anyone can lay claim to legitimate authority. 'S According to Donaldson, the First or Original Secession Church, a development of 1733, parted from the Establishment on the basis of `conservative theology and a revival of the Covenants.'6 Hume Brown, however, considers the initial stimulus was controversy over a patronage anomaly concerning the `respective rights of patrons and congregations in the election of ministers. '7 Lynch concurs, noting that the Church of Scotland deposed the breakaway group under Ebenezer Erskine in 1740. Nonetheless he acknowledges their Covenanting links by observing that they celebrated in 1743 by renewing the `Solemn League and Covenant at its centenary.'8 By the close of the century, these significant dissenters had embraced differing and complex attitudes

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL EDUCATION, CHILDREN AND ADULT SERVICES COMMITTEE The proposal is for a new community school to be built in Dunvegan, Isle of Skye, replacing the current Dunvegan Primary School, Struan Primary School, Knockbreck Primary School and Edinbane Primary School. EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS STATEMENT THIS IS A CONSULTATIVE PAPER PREPARED IN TERMS OF THE EDUCATION AUTHORITY’S AGREED PROCEDURE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOLS (CONSULTATION) (SCOTLAND) ACT 2010 The Highland Council is proposing, subject to the outcome of the statutory consultation process: • To discontinue education provision at the existing Dunvegan, Struan, Knockbreck and Edinbane Primary Schools • To establish a new amalgamated community Primary School for North West Skye, on a new site in the village of Dunvegan. • To combine the existing school catchments of Dunvegan, Struan, Knockbreck and Edinbane Schools to serve the new amalgamated Primary School (a map of the existing catchments is attached as Appendix A. • The proposed changes, if approved, will take place within 3 years. Background 1.1 This proposal has been brought forward as part of the pan-Highland Sustainable School Estate Review. 1.2 The proposal was informed by an extensive engagement process and option appraisal methodology undertaken in accordance with current Scottish Government guidelines. The option appraisal report, which was produced by Caledonian Economics Limited (Cal Ec.) the Highland Council’s contracted partner for the SSER, is attached as Appendix B: A key aspect of the Options Appraisal was a qualitative comparison of the options under consideration carried out in a workshop environment with the appropriate specialists from the Council and Cal Ec.
