VU 6. Tlie Society shall hold its meetings weekly from the be- ginning of October to the end of March, and fortnightly from the beginning of April to the end of September. The business shall be carried on in Gaelic on every alternate night at least. 7. There shall be an Annual Meeting in the month of July, the day to be named by the Connnittee for the time being, when Competitions for Pi-izes shall take place in Pipe and other High- land Music. In the evening there shall be Competitions in Read- ing and Reciting Gaelic Poetry and Prose, both original and select. After which there shall be a Social Meeting, at which Gaelic sub- jects shall have the preference, but not to such an extent as entii-ely to preckide participation by persons who do not understand Gaelic. The expenses of the competitions shall be defrayed out of a special fund to which the general public shall be invited to subscribe. 8. It is a fundamental rule of the Society that no part of the constitution shall be altered without the assent of two-thirds of the Gaelic-si^eaking Membei'S on the roll ; but if an alteration be re- quii'ed, due notice of the same must be given to each member, at least one month before the meeting takes place at which the alter- ation is proposed to be made. Absent Members may vote by mandates. 9. The Society shall elect a Bard, a Piper, and a Librarian. All Papers and Lectiu-es shall be prepared, and all Discussions carried on, with an honest, earnest, and manful desire for truth and all proceedings shall be conducted in a pure and gentle spirit, and according to the usually recognised nUes. INTRODUCTION. The Gaelic Society op Inverness may be accepted as more or less of an embodiment of the sentiment of the Highlands. It is one of the results of a feeling that Highland interests and ideas have not had adequate expression in previously existing organisa- tions ; and it is intended at once to stimulate and to give vent, in its own way, to that public spuit which is awakening in the country. There was an idea at one time that such diversities as manifest themselves in the Celt and the Saxon should be smoothed down so as to obliterate the distinction between the races. Wise men now think that variety should be cherished in the human as well as in other species ; and that this variety, even in one nation, should be a source of strength and not of weakness. With regard to England, the theory has been laid down that her force is actually due to the marked variety of races with which south Britain has always been peopled. In Kent, in Cornwall, in Norfolk, in Cumberland, &c., it has been said that there are, and that there have been from time immemorial, and inde- pendently even of the Saxon and Norman invasions, distinct types of men ; and that from these stocks the country has a perennial supply of that energy, mental and physical, which flows from the fresh admixture of superior races.

    Gaelic Scotland – a Postcolonial Site? in Search of a Meaningful Theoretical Framework to Assess the Dynamics of Contemporary Scottish Gaelic Verse

    eSharp Issue 6:1 Identity and Marginality Gaelic Scotland – A Postcolonial Site? In Search of a Meaningful Theoretical Framework to Assess the Dynamics of Contemporary Scottish Gaelic Verse Corinna Krause (University of Edinburgh) The late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries saw what is known today as the Highland Clearances, which was in effect the forced migration of a large proportion of the population of the Scottish Highlands due to intensified sheep farming in the name of a more effective economic land use (Devine, 1999, pp.176-78). For the Gaelic speech community this meant ‘the removal of its heartland’ (MacKinnon, 1974, p.47). MacKinnon argues that ‘effectively this was to reorientate the linguistic geography of Scotland in reducing the Gaelic areas to the very fringes of northern and western coastal areas and to the Hebrides’ (1974, p.47). Yet, it was not economic exploitation alone which influenced the existence of the Gaelic population in a most profound way. There was also an active interference with language use through the eradication of Gaelic from the sphere of education as manifested in a series of Education Acts from 1872 onwards. Such education policy ensured the integration of the Gaelic speech community into English-language Britain (MacKinnon, 1974, pp.54-74). Gaelic Scotland therefore had its share of experiencing what in postcolonial literary studies is identified as the ‘two indivisible foundations of imperial authority - knowledge and power’ (Ashcroft, Griffiths and Tiffin, 1995, p.1; referring to Said,

    Dossier of Chemical Use on Scottish Salmon Farms (2008-2011)

    Dossier of Chemical Use on Scottish Salmon Farms (2008-2011) Based on data obtained from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency via Freedom of Information in July 2012 (available in full online here and read SEPA's data re-use statement online here ). More details online via FishyLeaks Summary: Total chemical use (Cypermethrin, Azamethiphos, Teflubenzuron, Emamectin benzoate & Deltamethrin) on Scottish salmon farms increased by 110% between 2008 and 2011 2008: 188076.07g 2009: 342847.8462g 2010: 373757.8495g 2011: 394630.5414g The alarming rise in chemical use is five times more than the percentage increase in salmon farming production: whilst Scottish farmed salmon production steadily increased by 22% between 2008 and 2011 (up from 128,606 tonnes to 157,385 tonnes) the use of toxic chemicals increased by a shocking 110% (up from 188076.07g to 394630.5414g). In terms of total chemical use (2008-2011), Azamethiphos accounts for over half (55%) with Emamectin benzoate (19%), Teflubenzuron (18%), Deltamethrin (5%) and Cypermethrin (3%). The relative composition of chemical use has changed since 2008 – but the use of Azamethiphos has always remained the largest component. As Cypermethrin use has declined the use of Teflubenzuron has increased to be the 2nd largest in 2011: Almost twice every day for the last four years (2008 to 2011), toxic chemicals were used on salmon farms across Scotland. Chemicals were used on 2,756 occasions with Emamectin benzoate used 1,028 times; Deltamethrin 914; Azamethiphos 487; Cypermethrin 315 and Teflubenzuron

THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.
