Cover photo:  Ever wondered what our ancestors’ homes in 18^th century Argyll might have been like?  The cover photo is of highland cottages at Baluachrach, Tarbert, Argyll.  These buildings date from at least the mid-1700s although it is not known when this photo was taken (at a later date).  The two houses in the forefront have thatched chimneys, an improvement from the days when the fire was in the middle of the floor with no chimney, while the one further back has an even more modern stone chimney.

 

Some of our ancestral surnames from this area are: Kerr, Sinclair, MacMillan, MacDougall, McPhail, Carmichael, Smith, McEachern, Leitch.

Glendaruel (Glen of the Red River) they say, gets its name from the action fought there in 1098 between the Scots and the Norse forces of King Magnus Bare Legs when the river is said to have run red with blood.  From the crest of the Glen there are superb views over Kintyre to the Paps of Jura, the Ross of Mull and the Cruachan.

COVER PHOTO:  Long Street Church.  Photo courtesy of Fort Bragg Cultural Resources Management Program.  We are including a number of articles in this issue submitted by Dr. Linda Carnes-McNaughton about Long Street Church. Long Street Presbyterian Church was established in 1756.  It was one of the three earliest churches in the Cross Creek/Fayetteville area along with Barbecue and Old Bluff Churches.  It was originally known as McKay’s Meeting House and church services took place at Alexander McKay’s house and tavern which was located nearby along the Old Yadkin Road.  In 1758 Rev. James Campbell was its first regular minister.  This building, the third, was constructed in 1846 and is now part of the Fort Bragg military reservation.  It no longer holds regular services.  It is accessible to the public only through permission from Fort Bragg Cultural Resources.  Many early gravestones are inscribed “born in Scotland” or “born in Islay” etc.  There is one inscription in the Gaelic language.  There are also graves marking the final resting places of soldiers killed at the nearby Civil War battle of Monroe’s Crossroads.  In June each year, descendants of former members gather for a reunion with a church service and lunch on the grounds.

COVER PHOTO:  The MacLean’s Cross (Crois Mhic ‘illeathain) on the island of Iona

stands at the intersection of Sràid nam Marbh, the Street of the Dead, and a processional path leading from the boat landing.  Pilgrims would have stopped here to pray on their approach to Iona Abbey and the burial grounds next to it.  On both sides are carved interlaced Celtic designs.  On the back side, shown here, is an image of the crucifixion. The cross dates from the 15^th century and was erected by the MacLeans.  The carving style is of the Iona school.  It is around eleven feet tall and carved from a single block of stone.  At the foot of the shaft is an armed horseman which probably represents the MacLean chief who had it carved and placed here.  Photograph by Anne Landin.
