OF LOCHALSH, A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE, BRAVE, AND STALWART OF HIGHLAND FAMILIES. PREFACE. The first edition of the late Mr Mackenzie's "History of the Mathesons" appeared in 1882, and the book has now been long out of print. Mr Mackenzie had a difficult task in writing this work, for though the Clan in the 14th century undoubtedly rivalled in position and power the neighbouring Mackenzies, yet through the action of the Macdonalds in the following century its unity was broken, and it became a " minor clan," with no charters, and with no references thereto in public documents. The individual history of the Northern Clans at best begins with the 15th century, but here Mr Mackenzie had only the clan traditions to avail himself of until the 17th century, when the minor clans all over the North come into the light of history from under the shadow of the larger clans and their chiefs. Mr Mackenzie's chief concern was with gene- alogies, not origins, and in this work he showed his usual excellence, limiting himself, however, very much to the families that have come to prominence in present times. The new edition has spread the net wider, and all the minor septs about which information has been available are dealt with. The first 55 pages, dealing with origins and traditions, and then with the chief family of Bennetsfield, are practically intact, save that the genealogies are brought up to date, and the chiefship, which, as in so many other cases, has been drifting from cousinship to cousinship, has been fol- lowed to the present undoubted owner of the title. , viii. THE MATHESONS. The rest of the book, save the house of Attadale and the Mathesons of the Lews, has been re-written and re-cast, and more than doubled, while the appen- dices are all new. Appendix B should be read in connection with the early history of the Clan con- tained in the first 20 pages, and Appendix D in con- nection with page 26. The reason for these cautions arises from the fact that, after much of the work was in type, a third Matheson MS. turned up, and also numerous letters, written by Duncan Matheson, teacher in Lochalsh and missionary in Manchester (1836-57). This has proved the most important source of all our information about the Mathesons. The Editor is indebted to the willing work of many friends. To Sir Kenneth Matheson he owes the Note on the Matheson Arms, and other sugges- tions ; to Rev. Dr Masson, Edinburgh, is entirely due the tracing out of the present Chief's family, and also the additions to the Bennetsfield genealogies, besides which he kindly contributed the Note on Dr Matheson of Montreal (App. H) ; to his namesake, Mr James Matheson M'Bain, Arbroath, he is under the deepest obligation, for it is he who possesses Duncan Mathe- son's MS. and letters, and he most kindly and un- reservedly lent them for use or publication ; to Mr Roderick Matheson, Buccleugh Place, Edinburgh, for lending the Iomaire MS. ; to Miss Bessie Matheson, Dornie, for lending her brother, Captain Matheson's MS. ; and lastly, but by no means least, he has heartily to thank Mrs Murdoch Matheson ' of Bal- macarra for her assistance in the genealogies of all the Lochalsh families. |40 /ff, ) /, CLAN MATHESON TARTAN LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS.

Scarcely any notice of the Mathesons is to be found in the public records, and in the following account of the family we shall have to draw largely upon two family MSS., copies of which we are fortunate to possess.* After some preliminary observations, the author of the "Iomaire" MS. refers to the early origin of the family in the following terms:—"Whether the Mathe- sons emigrated from Denmark to Scotland before they went to Ireland, and from thence to Scotland, we know not, but certain it is that they are an old race in Ireland. In Ossian's Poems mention is made of a Calmar Mac- Mahon,f an Irish chieftain who assisted Fingal in one of his wars in Ireland. It is well known that Ossian, the aged Scottish bard, flourished between the third and fourth centuries of the Christian era, so that the time when his father Fingal fought his battles, in the vigour of youth, must have been a number of years *These two MSS. are the Iomaire and Bennetsfield MSS., both quite modern, for an account of which see Appendix A. Ed. fCalmar Mac Matha, in "Fingal I.," is purely an invention of Macpherson's own. Ed.

  • Fault: the Rise of the Rosemarkie Inlier and the Acadian Event in 3 Scotland
    1 Mid-Devonian sinistral transpressional movements on the Great Glen 2 Fault: the rise of the Rosemarkie Inlier and the Acadian Event in 3 Scotland. 4 5 J.R. Mendum1 & S.R. Noble2 6 1British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh, EH9 3LA 7 2NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, British Geological Survey, Kingsley Dunham 8 Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG 9 e-mail: [email protected] 10 11 Abstract 12 The Rosemarkie Inlier is a small fault-bounded lens of interleaved Moine psammites and 13 possible Lewisianoid orthogneisses with distinctive leucogranite veins and pods that lies 14 adjacent to the Great Glen Fault (GGF). The basement rocks and most of the 15 leucogranites are strongly deformed and tightly folded with foliations generally steeply 16 dipping and a locally well-developed NE-plunging rodding lineation. Mid-Devonian 17 sandstone and conglomerate unconformably overlie the inlier on its western side. 18 Monazite from a deformed leucogranite vein gave a mean ID-TIMS 207Pb/235U age of 19 397.6 ± 2.2 Ma and acicular zircons gave a compatible concordant ID-TIMS U-Pb age of 20 400.8 ± 2.6 Ma, dating emplacement as mid-Devonian. Xenocrystic zircons from the 21 leucogranites and complex zoned zircons from two adjacent tonalitic gneisses gave LA- 22 MC-ICP-MS concordant ages between 2720 and 2930 Ma confirming their Archaean 23 Lewisianoid origin. Leucogranite emplacement is interpreted to mark the onset of 24 Acadian transpression and sinistral strike-slip movement on the GGF that resulted in 25 multi-phase deformation and oblique exhumation of the Rosemarkie Inlier.

  • William Jardine (Merchant) from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    William Jardine (merchant) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other people with the same name see "William Jardine" (disambiguation) William Jardine (24 February 1784 – 27 February 1843) was a Scottish physician and merchant. He co-founded the Hong Kong conglomerate Jardine, Matheson and Company. From 1841 to 1843, he was Member of Parliament for Ashburton as a Whig. Educated in medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Jardine obtained a diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1802. In the same year, he became a surgeon's mate aboard the Brunswick of the East India Company, bound for India. Captured by the French and shipwrecked in 1805, he was repatriated and returned to the East India Company's service as ship's surgeon. In May 1817, he left medicine for commerce.[1] Jardine was a resident in China from 1820 to 1839. His early success in Engraving by Thomas Goff Lupton Canton as a commercial agent for opium merchants in India led to his admission in 1825 as a partner of Magniac & Co., and by 1826 he was controlling that firm's Canton operations. James Matheson joined him shortly after, and Magniac & Co. was reconstituted as Jardine, Matheson & Co in 1832. After Imperial Commissioner Lin Zexu confiscated 20,000 cases of British-owned opium in 1839, Jardine arrived in London in September, and pressed Foreign Secretary Lord Palmerston for a forceful response.[1] Contents 1 Early life 2 Jardine, Matheson and Co. 3 Departure from China and breakdown of relations 4 War and the Chinese surrender Portrait by George Chinnery, 1820s 5 Death and legacy 6 Notes 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Early life Jardine, one of five children, was born in 1784 on a small farm near Lochmaben, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.[2] His father, Andrew Jardine, died when he was nine, leading the family in some economic difficulty.
