Chapter 1 BACKGROUND AND EDUCATION Alexander Berry, the future squire of Crows Nest and laird of the Shoalhaven, was born in Hilltarvit farmhouse overlooking Cupar, the county town of Fife, Scotland, on St Andrew's day 30 November 1781. He was the first child of thirty-one year-old tenant farmer James Berrie and twenty- five year-old Isabel (Bell) Tod-'^. The Berry family in its most extended form was numerous in the north-eastern parishes of Fife and particularly strong in the parish of Leuchars, where the name was perhaps more common than any other.^ It is from this parish that the Berries or Berrys with whom we are concerned derive. Alexander's father and forebears used the name Berrie, he invariably signed Berry, his brothers and sisters were not consistent.^ The Berries of Alexander's line of descent were ancestral tenants of Lucklaw farm, just inside the boundary of Leuchars parish but geographically part of the adjoining parish of Logie- Murdoch.^ The latter was about two and a half miles in lenCfthr east to west and one mile in breadth north to south, consisting of one mountain, Lucklaw Hill, and rolling hills wedged between Cupar and Dundee Ferry, each about three Cupar Parish Register Bapt:|.^)nas/Marriages/Deaths 1778- 1819 (SRO OPR 420/3).

Settlement was mostly along a ridge or plateau atop quite steep hillsides. The rich land produced excellent crops of all kinds of grain cind considerable quantities of grass and turnips. Sheep grazed the hills and most of the tenant farmers paid a goodly part of their rents by raising young cattle. The hamlet of Logie clustered arotind the church, situated in a central location to the farms and the focus of community life. There was no centre of business and it was natural that the Berries should go in both directions to the towns of Leuchars and Cupar. Lucklaw farm is situated a short distance behind Logie church at the top of the steep rise from flat lands around Leuchars. It slopes down from the crest with the farm house and offices just below the brow, looking out on a panoramic view over Balmullo village in the middle distance to Leuchars and the sea beyond-^ As head of a household employing servants the tenant of Lucklaw occupied a middling status in a society where there was still a wide gap between landowner and tenant- From the frequency with which Alexander Berrie, great­ grandfather of Alexander of Crows Nest, is named as a witness at baptisms and weddings around the seventeen twenties the impression is gained that he was a central figure in the small community of Logie. ° Use of the more expensive of Leuchar's parish's two mortcloths at his funeral in 1741 indicates that the family regarded itself as being of substance and respectability some degree above the ordinary.'

Hire of the mortcloth or pall was a James, was tenant for the next thirty-five years. James, the eldest son, reached maturity while his father was still in possession and was probably assisted by him to become tenant of Hilltarvit. Tarvit or Wemysshall Hill is a prominence one and three quarter miles south of Cupar," the peak of which affords a magnificent view of the whole Howe of Fife." The extent of Hilltarvit farm has not been ascertained. Farms in the Cupar district ranged from about a hundred to three hundred acres.^^ From generally being mentioned in accounts of the district Hilltarvit appears to have been one of the larger holdings. Isabel Tod was born on 26 April 1756, the third daughter and fifth child of Alexander Tod, tenant of Claremont-'^-'^ in the parish of St Andrews and St Leonards, and his wife Janet Armit.-'^^ When Isabel was about six years old the family moved,^ becoming tenants of Cowbakie in Leuchars parish. Alexander Tod was still tenant there at means of raising funds for the relief of the poor. Social distinctions were preserved and receipts increased by having one cloth more elaborate and a good deal more expensive than the other. 8 Francis H.Groome, ed., Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland: A Graphic and Accurate Description of Every Place in Scotland, Edinburgh 1901 edn, 329.

  • The Scottish Church from the Earliest Times To
    ST GILES' LECTURES. FIRST SERIES— THE SCOTTISH CHURCH. LECTURE in. MEDIEVAL SCOTLAND, 1093 to 1513 a.d. By the Rev. James Campbell, D.D., Minister of Balmerino. 'T'HE long period of four hundred and twenty years of our -*- ecclesiastical history of which I have to give an account is marked by the rise and growth of so many institutions, and the occurrence of so many important events, as to preclude an exhaustive treatment of it in the limited space at my disposal. All that I can here attempt is to sketch in outline the recon- struction of the Scottish Church in the twelfth century after the pattern then prevailing throughout Western Christendom, and the further development of this system onwards to the time when, through internal corruption, it had lost its energy and usefulness, and only awaited the shock by which it was to fee overthrown. Students of the history of this period enjoy one signal advantage, which is denied to explorers of the previous ages. Of the four centuries extending from the days of Cumin and Adamnan, who wrote Lives of St Columba, to the death of Malcolm Canmore, we possess scarcely any of those native : 66 Sf Giles' Lectures. contemporary chronicles in which England and Ireland are so rich ; and the inquirer must have recourse to the meagre and too often misleading information supplied by foreign annalists, or by legends and traditions which were not committed to writing till many centuries after the death of those to whom they refer. But when we reach the twelfth century we enter upon a new era.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.
