  • THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith
    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • Population Change in Lochaber 2001 to 2011
    The Highland Council Agenda 5 Item Lochaber Area Committee Report LA/2/14 No 27 February 2014 Population Change in Lochaber 2001 To 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report presents early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Lochaber. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the population has “aged”, and that there is a large number of people who are close to retirement age. The population of Lochaber has grown by 6.1% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in both Wards, and at a local level in 18 out of 27 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled preparation of the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on the Highland Council’s website at: http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/highlandfactsandfigures/census2011.htm 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Lochaber population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). The changes for Highland are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.

  • Redirecting to East Ayrshire Council
    EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL CABINET REPORT – 3RD OCTOBER 2007 ADDITIONAL STREETSPORT CAGES Report by Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 To request that the Cabinet approve the installation of two new StreetSport Cages in Crosshouse and Newmilns, and agree the proposed site for the similar facility in Darvel subject to the satisfactory outcome of consultation exercises. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Following the success of existing Multi-use Games Areas in Shortlees and North West Kilmarnock, Leisure Services have worked in partnership with East Ayrshire Sports Council to develop a network of these facilities across East Ayrshire. These new facilities now known as StreetSport Cages, compliment and extend the range of play facilities being made available through the Council’s Playpark Improvement Programme. 2.2 Further to Committee approval at Community Services Committee on 8th November 2006, a network of facilities was developed via a range of external and internal funding allocations. The development and subsequent installation of this network demonstrated East Ayrshire’s forward thinking approach to the development of Community Sport and its commitment to providing young people with positive alternatives to Youth Crime. This was highlighted nationally with the Council being featured on BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland Show and on BBC TV’s Reporting Scotland. 2.3 A subsequent report to Community Services Committee on 31st January 2007 approved the allocation of an additional StreetSport Cage to Darvel. Final implementation, however, was to be subject to a community consultation process. 2.4 The original proposal for the Darvel StreetSport Cage was to site it within the boundaries of Morton Park as the majority of youth disorder complaints being received from Darvel focused on this area.

  • Scotland – North
    Scotland – North Scotland was at the heart of Jacobitism. All four Jacobite risings - in 1689-91, 1715-16, 1719 and 1745-46 - took place either entirely (the first and third) or largely (the second and fourth) in Scotland. The north of Scotland was particularly important in the story of the risings. Two of them (in 1689-91 and 1719) took place entirely in the north of Scotland. The other two (in 1715-16 and 1745-46) began and ended in the north of Scotland, although both had wider theatres during the middle stages of the risings. The Jacobite movement in Scotland managed to attract a wide range of support, which is why more than one of the risings came close to succeeding. This support included Lowlanders as well as Highlanders, Episcopalians as well as Catholics (not to mention some Presbyterians and others), women as well as men, and an array of social groups and ages. This Scotland-North section has many Jacobite highlights. These include outstanding Jacobite collections in private houses such as Blair Castle, Scone Palace and Glamis Castle; state-owned houses with Jacobite links, such as Drum Castle and Corgarff Castle; and museums and exhibitions such as the West Highland Museum and the Culloden Visitor Centre. They also include places which played a vital role in Jacobite history, such as Glenfinnan, and the loyal Jacobite ports of the north-east, and battlefields (six of the land battles fought during the risings are in this section, together with several other skirmishes on land and sea). The decision has been made here to divide the Scottish sections into Scotland – South and Scotland – North, rather than the more traditional Highlands and Lowlands.
