  • The Macarthur Surname
    The MacArthur Surname Surname: MacArthur Branch: MacArthur Origins: Scottish Country: Scotland Scottish Flag Arms of Scotland Background: In Gaelic, MacArthur means Son of Arthur. The Clan MacArthur is one of the oldest of Argyll and its age is referred to in the proverb, "There is nothing older, unless the hills, MacArthur and the devil". The MacArthurs themselves claim descent from Arthur, that early resistance fighter who may have fought against the expansionist English for the Scots. The MacArthurs supported Bruce and were rewarded with grants of extensive lands in Argyll including those of the MacDougalls and the chief was appointed Captain of the Castle of Dunstaffnage. This was indeed the peak of their fortunes for when James I returned from exile in England, in his launch to regain power he executed Iain MacArthur chief of the clan from which the clan never recovered. From thereafter it was the name of Campbell rather than MacArthur that flourished in the region. Heraldry Motto: Fide Et Opera, Faith and Work. Battle Cry: Olso O' Elso, Listen O'listen. Arms: Azure, a maltese cross Argent, between three antique crowns. Crest: Two laurel branches in orle proper. Badge: Two laurel branches in orle, proper. Plant: Fir club moss, wild myrtle. History of the MacArthur Surname he MacArthur’s are Celts, and the family of Arthur is one of the oldest clans in Argyll, so ancient that even in remote Celtic times there was a Gaelic couplet which is freely translated, ‘the hills and streams and Mac-alpine but whence came forth MacArthur?’ The MacArthur’s supported Robert the Bruce in the struggle for the independence of Scotland, and their leader, Mac ic Artair, was rewarded with lands in mid Argyll, which had belonged to those who had opposed the king.

  • The Macintyres of Letterbaine
    THE MACINTYRES OF LETTERBAINE Alistair K. Macintyre November 2016 1 THE MACINTYRES OF LETTERBAINE Preamble The following account is the fruit of over ten years´ research. Martin L MacIntyre is currently putting the finishing touches to a comprehensive history of the Macintyres1, though from a predominently Glenoe perspective, building on pioneering work done by his father during the 1970s. This history of the Letterbaine Macintyres, the oldest branch of Glenoe to appear in the written record, was put together to augment his ambitious and wide-ranging clan saga. A transcript of this research will appear in his book, though the following gives a fuller picture, and may be of interest to family historians. The lateral spread of the tree – the original of which can be seen online as Macintyre of Letterbaine at Ancestry.com – has taken the author by surprise. The Letterbaine Macintyres have turned out to be well-documented, and many years of sifting through the National Archives for Scotland have brought to light several sub-branches of the family. Hopefully this will give Letterbaine descendents a leg up with their own research. Currently the Fortrose Macintyres are the senior branch, though that could change if the Clenamacrie Macintyres, last heard of during the early nineteenth century, have living descendents. The Kayuga Macintyres in Australia are a well- documented junior line. Basic genealogical information is set out in italics, accompanied by the historical background for each of the main characters, and - where available - excerpts from contemporary correspondence. A dry chronological head-count is seldom fun to read, though the individual players, once placed in their historical niche, become invaluable keys to the general sweep of events - here spanning Scottish history from the 15th to the 19th century.

  • Inventory of Scottish Battlefields NGR Centred: NJ 562
    Inventory of Historic Battlefields Research report This battle was researched and assessed against the criteria for inclusion on the Inventory of Historic Battlefields set out in Historic Environment Scotland Policy Statement June 2016 https://www.historicenvironment.scot/advice-and- support/planning-and-guidance/legislation-and-guidance/historic-environment- scotland-policy-statement/. The results of this research are presented in this report. The site does not meet the criteria at the current time as outlined below (see reason for exclusion). Battle of the Pass of Brander 1308 Overview The Battle of the Pass of Brander, also known as the Battle of Brander, the Battle of Ben Cruachan or the Battle of Fanans, was an important engagement in 1308 during the First War of Independence. It took place on or near the slopes of Ben Cruachan, Argyll, between the followers of King Robert I ‘the Bruce’ and John MacDougall - also known as John of Lorne or John Bacach (the lame) – son of the Lord of Argyll, Alexander MacDougall. Bruce’s victory led to the surrender of Dunstaffange Castle and his gaining effective control of Argyll. Reason for exclusion There are at least three viable locations for the battlefield: directly to the east of the Falls of Cruachan; towards the western end of the Pass of Brander near Binnein Brander and Fanans; and also to the north near Barran Dubh and the southern shore of Loch Etive. As such the action cannot be accurately located on a map with certainty and therefore the battlefield does not currently meet the criteria for inclusion in the Inventory.

  • Significant Water Management Issues in the Scotland River Basin District Foreword
    Significant water management issues in the Scotland river basin district Foreword We are introducing a new way of managing the water environment in Scotland called river basin planning. This involves setting objectives to protect and improve the water environment while promoting its sustainable use. Overall, Scotland’s water environment is in good condition but a wide range of problems exist at a local level. Assessments indicate that about 40% of Scotland’s waters fail the environmental standards required to support good ecology. This consultation document is intended to identify the issues which we have to address to deliver environmental improvements. SEPA has developed this consultation with the Area and National Advisory Groups set up early in the river basin planning process. These advisory groups include representatives of the key organisations with an interest in the water environment. Together we have identified the environmental problems we need to address and have considered what actions are required. Next year SEPA and the advisory groups will produce a draft river basin management plan based on this report and the feedback we receive from you. We believe river basin planning provides a real opportunity to co-ordinate our work across Scotland to deliver agreed environmental objectives. It is an innovative approach which will deliver two important benefits. • It will improve the quality of our environment. • It will facilitate the sustainable use of the water environment by business and for recreation, which will have major social and economic benefits. Please read those sections of this report applicable to you and consider how we can all contribute to the development of a better, greener Scotland.
