Rare ANTIQUE Scottish CHROMOLITHOGRAPH printcirca 1899 [IMAGE] "SCOTTISH CLAN of MacCOLL McCOLL-from Clan MacDONALD" CREST: Out of a coronet a hand in armour fessways, holding by its point a cross crosslet fitchee, gules. MOTTO: Per mare per terras TRANSLATION: By sea and by land. PLANT: Heath GAELIC NAME: Mac Dhomhnuill ORIGIN OF NAME: Gaelic Mac Dhomhnuill (world ruler) WAR CRY: Fraoch Eilean (Heathery Island) PIPE MUSIC: Mac Donald's Salute & March of the Mac Donalds HISTORY: In Gaelic literature a Mac Millan is referred to as Maolanach (a tonsured person), or as Mac Ghillemhaoil (son of the devotee of the tonsured one). The tonsure of the Celtic church consisted in shaving the hair from the front half of the head, and there can be little doubt that the clan descends from some unremembered dyanst of the early church in Dalriada. It's chiefs acquired territories in Knapdale, in the heart of this area, through a Mac Neill heiress: and they are commemorated there by the Mac Millan tower of Castle Sween, the oldest stone-built castle in Scotland, and by the elaborately engraved cross in Kilmory churchyard, upwards of twelve feet high. On it is inscribed "Haec est crux Alexandri Mac Millan". Possibly the Highland chief hunting the deer on one side of it is Mac Millan himself; as probably, the claymore beneath the crucifix on the reverse side is his. But his descendants lost the lands of Knap, which became a bone of contention between MacNeills and Campbells, and were purchased in 1775 by Sir Archibald Campbell of Inverneil. But long before this disintegration occurred, the earliest known sept of the Mac Millans had become settled in Lochaber. Its cadet chiefs descended from Iain, eldest son of Malcolm Or, the 1st of Knap. In Lochaber they soon became involved in the troubles which followed the failure of the Lord of the Isles at Harlaw in 1411. During that period of insecurity Mac Donalds, Camerons, Mackintoshes and many lesser clans shifted their allegiance uneasily between the Lordship and the Crown, seeking safety or gain where they thought it might be found. In 1431 Mackintosh bestowed Murlagean upon the Mac Millans and they became dependents of Clan Chattan and dwellers upon the western shores of Loch Arkaig. The learned Chief of Mac Farlane recorded that Charles Mac Millan bound himself and his posterity as "hereditary servants" to the Mackintosh who died in 1457. This Charles was the ancestor of the Inverness Mac Millans and younger son of Ewen the 1st of Murlagan. So the Lochaber clan proliferated, as Mackintosh tenants living in the heart of Cameron country. In the 17th century the chief of Murlagan refused to support Cameron of Lochiel against the Mackintoshes. Lochiel borrowed money from Campbell of Argyll to purchase the title to the lands which the Mac Millans occupied from Mackintosh. When the Gentle Lochiel called upon Iain the 9th of Murlagan to fight for Prince Charles in 1745, he refused. But tradition says it was Murlagan's two sons who carried the wounded Lochiel from Culloden field, and Prince Charles made his last stand at their home by Loch Arkaig. It was none other that Donald, grandson of the Gentle Lochiel, who cleared the Mac Millans as well as his own clansmen with such ruthlessness from their ancestral homes. It was regarded as a peculiar act of perfidy that this was done by a resident chief, rather than by Lowland factors or foreign speculators. The story is told in Bygone Lochaber (1971) by the Gaelic scholar the Rev. Somerled Mac Millan. ARTIST: Printed by A. R. Goldie from the Original Clan Costume Sketch by R. R.

Rare ANTIQUE Scottish Print ~ circa 1900 [IMAGE] <!-NAME TITLE --> <!-NAME TITLE -->â€œ HERRING FISHERY â€ ~ Fine Antique Scottish Print ~104 year old print in MINT condition ARTIST: Famous Scottish Painter ROBERT RONALD McIAN Born 1803 ~ Died 1856 Robert Ronald McIan was born in Scotland 1803. His initial passion was for acting and in his late teens moved to London to join the Covent Garden Theatre. His extrovert character fitted in well with the stage and London life in the 1830s and it was during this period that he explored and developed his second passion - painting. His first work to be submitted to the Royal Academy of Painting in London was in 1835 and was followed by a series of paintings depicting events and scenes of drama and conflict from Scotland's history - The Battle of Culloden, A Highland Feud and many others. In the early 1840s, encouraged by the favourable reception of his work, he left the stage to concentrate on painting. McIan was happily married to Fanny - an accomplished artist in her own right and continued to paint until his death in 1856 - the result of a wasting disease. He leaves as a legacy some of the most enduring images of Scotland ever produced - recognised worldwide Size: 7 inches x 4.5 inches ATTENTION ART COLLECTORS Presented here is a beautiful antique print which is in MINT condition.

This print will make a wonderful gift and special addition to any art collection! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE HERRING FISHERY IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS THIS branch of our national commerce, the source of great wealth, gives employment to many thousands, and affords a cheap and excellent food to millions. The name of this prolific and useful fish is derived from the German Heer, an army, a term descriptive of the prodigious numbers in which they appear; in Gaelic it is called Sgadan. The shoal which proceeds from Iceland, occupies an extent of surface equal to that of Great Britain and Ireland. It reaches the shores of these kingdoms about the middle of June, and dividing, one division proceeds southwards by the east coast, as far as Great Yarmouth, while the other passes by the Hebrides and west coast of Scotland, to Ireland and Wales. They are in full roe until the end of June, and are in good condition until the beginning of winter, when they begin to deposit their spawn and disappear from the southern seas, retiring, it is supposed, to their native haunts in the polar ocean. The Dutch have obtained the credit of being the first to engage in the herring fishing, and they have for centuries enjoyed the best part of it; but there is good reason to believe that the inhabitants of Britain had devoted their attention to it at an earlier period. From Andersonâ€™s "History of Commerce," it appears that traders from the Netherlands resorted to Scotland in 836, for the purchase of salted fish; and in the "Annals of Batavia," it is recorded that the Scots were accustomed to sell their herrings there in the ninth century, a traffic which led to a commercial alliance, which long subsisted, between the two countries. The Dutch, who date their regular fishing from 1163, nevertheless, appear to have acquired a sort of monopoly of the herring fishery, while it became much neglected by the Scots. To revive this trade, King James III., considering it "expedient for the common good of the realm, and great increase of riches," enacted, in 1471, that certain lords, spiritual and temporal, and burghs, should make or procure "ships, busses, and other pink boats, with nets, etc., for fishing." This was confirmed by James IV., when the burghs were ordered to provide ships and boats of not less than twenty tons, with nets and all other necessaries, according to the substance of each burgh. Subsequently the attempt was made to establish towns in the Highlands for the promotion of fishing, which after many yearsâ€™ perseverance by the " Undertakers," or barons and gentlemen, empowered for the purpose, in the island of Lewes, was ultimately frustrated by the opposition of the Highlanders. It has been remarked by the author of "Caledonia," that no encouragement has induced the Celtic race, in Ireland, Wales, or Scotland, to enter with spirit into the fisheries, for which their coasts are so favourable; the herring is, however, so desultory in its habits, that the Highlanders may be unjustly blamed, for sometimes a loch, or tract of coast, will be entirely deserted for years ; neither does it appear that in other portions of the empire have even bounties and privileges produced greater enterprise. The herring fishery has been regulated by many Acts of the Legislature; but the first bounty on the exportation of herrings was granted by the Scottish parliament, in 1705. The Highland Society of Scotland, with characteristic patriotism, charged itself with the duty of framing a bill for the revival of this important branch of employment, which was passed in 1808, and by the encouragement given by subsequent regulations, and the services of the Board for Fisheries, etc., it has since been prosecuted with spirit. The art of curing herrings is supposed to have been discovered by William Beukelings, a Dutchman, who died in 1397; but there is reason to believe that he was only an improver on the art, for from 1306 to 1360, the herring fair and fishery of Yarmouth formed a great branch of its trade; and, in 1313, a ship of Lynn, a neighbouring town, was captured, which had been fishing for herrings on the Norwegian coast. The herrings of the west coast are not so plentiful, but are much superior to those of the east ; and, as the season commences, the Highlanders pass round in great numbers, when the town of Wick, in Caithness, the most noted place of resort, presents a highly animated appearance. When multitudes of boats from both north and south are collected, the scene is singular and pleasing. In the northern latitudes, a dim twilight continues during the mid-summer nights, and the boats are often within hail of each other. The stillness is broken by the occasional mirth of the crews, or the plaintive lorrams, or boat songs of the West Highlanders, whose thoughts are of their distant home and the relatives and friends they have there left. When the boats arrive with their cargoes, which are reckoned by crans, or barrelfuls, the fish to be cured have the entrails taken out by a particular nip, leaving the melt and roe ; but they are not opened, as several of the most esteemed Encyclopedias describe; they are then put into a strong brine, where they are allowed to remain from twelve to sixteen hours, and when taken out are well drained, and packed closely on their backs, in a circular form, the cooper finishing the process by putting in the heads of the barrels very tightly. This is called the White pickle. Red herrings must be kept in the salt water twenty-four hours, they are then strung by the head on wooden spits, and placed, to the number of many thousands, in chimneys, where brushwood, or turf, is kindled on the floor, and managed so as to give a great deal of smoke without flame, from which is derived their peculiar flavour and colour. They are generally dry in about twenty-four hours, when they are put into barrels for keeping. These barrels will hold from 500 to 800 fish. The sketch was taken on the side of Loch nan Uagh, in Arisaig, and the male figure is that of a man not more experienced as a fisher than notorious as a smuggler; and it is said that in barrels, such as represented, he has at times contrived to convey without detection, a keg of good poit duâ€™, or whiskey, concealed among the fish. A curious circumstance had occurred at the time the artist made his drawing. The fishermen, having one night caught a young whale, the old one making its appearance, attacked the boats furiously, and continued in the loch for some days, so that without harpoons or other weapons they could not venture on an attack. The group represents an idle peasantry, in their usual costume, having at the time no avocation to withdraw them from â€˜a friendly crackâ€™ about the country news. It is matter of just complaint that the Dutch should be allowed to fish so near the coasts, and drive a lucrative trade on our very shores; it indicates a laxity in the enforcement of the international laws, which regulate the mutual rights of different countries.
