This book was designed for people who want to learn more of their Scottish family history, but have been confused or intimidated by other instruction manuals; the author allows you to work more efficiently and accomplish more. The work is divided into five sections which lead the researcher along a logical, step-by-step research path. The first section presents the author's system for beginning family research: sketching a family tree using your present knowledge, then adding personal biographies, labeled photographs and any other memorabilia. An interview questionnaire is included to help the reader gain the most from interviews with family members. The second section describes how to prepare for further research, providing the reader with an overview of libraries overseas and in the U.S. In addition, the author describes how to acquire the background knowledge of Scottish history and geography necessary for accurate interpretation of records. The third part describes the New Register House in Scotland, which contains parish registers, census returns and civil registrations; this section also includes a helpful trouble-shooting guide. The fourth section guides the reader to four additional source groups: public record offices in Great Britain, libraries in Great Britain and North America, the Church of Latter-day Saints and private sources. An informative research outline provides the reader with an alphabetical listing of types of information and records.

The author presents many transcriptions from original 16th-century Scottish records, but he always gives a lively account of the historical background necessary to understand these records. Included are such interesting items as a 1547 list of Borderers and Border Clans who had taken the oath of fealty to the English government, a partial roll of the year 1587 from records of the Scottish privy council, the roll of the names of landed proprietors over the whole of Scotland in 1590, \"The Names of the principall Clannes and Surnames of the Borders, not landed, and Chiefe Men of Name amongst them [in 1597]\" and \"The Names of the Barons, Lairds and chiefe Gentlemen in every Sherifdome [1597].\" A few of the famous Scots mentioned here are Sir Walter Scott, Rob Roy MacGregor and Mary Queen of Scots. Cultural and religious conflicts are discussed briefly, as well as the problems of cattle thieving (prevalent in the Borders and known as reiving), taxation, traitors and false coiners. Offenders found guilty might be sentenced to such strict penalties as drawing, hanging, drowning or decapitation. The second part of the book, an account of the Dixon\/Dickson clan, opens with a list of more than thirty variant spellings of this surname, which is descended from the clan of Keiths, who were Earls Marshall and one of the most powerful families in Scotland. There are brief accounts of Dickson families by region throughout Scotland and descriptions of their coats of arms. The history of the Homer Dickson family spans 1733 through 1878, and includes members in Britain and America. Closing out this valuable history are lists of landlords and tenants, and members of Parliament, plus a surname index, making this a rich source of information for anyone interested in Clan Dickson and Scottish border clans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eB.

It is a compilation of the recollections of the elder Maclean, who was known as the \"Inverness Centenarian.\" John Maclean lived from about 1747 to 1852, and this book was originally issued in 1848. It is not intended as a rigorous and thorough historical work, but as a collection of stories of local interest \"whose merit, if they possess any, is, that they contain historical facts, traits of character, and traditional tales of stirring times and of important personages which have not been presented by any other author.\" These stories paint a picture of a Scotland in the 1600s and 1700s in which might and ruthlessness abounded. Those wishing to purchase land \"effected the sale by the claymore…and held possession by wielding, as frequently as occasion required, and with as much power as they could muster, the weapon by the use of which they came into possession.\" In addition to sword-wielding chiefs and lairds, the reader learns of women like the fearsome Mrs. Mackintosh, \"whose absence was considered good company\" by the terrified local inhabitants. It was she who engineered the murder of Provost Junor of Inverness in retaliation for his reproving her for her \"rude and indelicate demeanor.\" (Subsequently a second murder occurred, of a Mackintosh family servant girl who spoke unguardedly of her knowledge of the plotters of the first murder.) There are accounts of smugglers, thieves and outlaws hanged by the neck and then hung in a cage as a warning to others. The first and longest chapter details the 150-year period during which the Clan Mackintosh possessed the property of Borlum, from 1610 to 1760. The second chapter concerns Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, who lived from about 1676 until his beheading in 1747. Chapter 3 concerns Lord President Forbes, who sailed into Inverness in \"the largest vessel that ever entered the river.\" Subsequent chapters describe Sir George Mackenzie of Rosbaugh, The Family of Chisholm, The Mackenzies of Redcastle, The Black Watch (or 42nd Royal Highlanders), Donald Gruimach, The Black Isle Cattle-Lifter, and Highland Robbers and Cattle Lifters. The last part of the book contains addenda on Inverness Municipal Affairs, the Fracas at Cnocan-Na-Gour, Provost Maclean in a Fight, The Bloody Marymas Cheese Market, Smuggling, Sheriffs Campbell and Fraser of Inverness-Shire, A Highland Desperado, The Blacksmith and the Laird of Glengarry, The Rev. Murdo Mackenzie, and The Rev. John Porteous. This book is a collection of stories rich in the flavor of times past, told in the language of Scotland past.

Persons that joined a particular clan, regardless of descent, assumed the surname of the chief as an act of loyalty. There are distinctions between Highland and Lowland surnames. Highland surnames are usually patronymic with various prefixes and additions such as Mackenzie and Robertson, but there are also surnames derived from localities, peculiarities, armorial bearings and offices. Lowland surnames show Norman influence, and are generally local, but many surnames are derived from baptismal names, peculiarities, armorial bearings, office, occupation and trade.

The National Library of Scotland and the Lyon Office respectively contribute...material regarding the Campbells of Auchinbrek and the name of McLea. A document from the papers of ...Dr. Maitland Thomson supplies...information about the last phase of resistance to William of Orange in Scotland. A letter from the Barcaldine Mss., written by Mungo Campbell, who was with Colin Campbell of Glenure when he was shot, is a notable addition to the memorials of the Appin murder [c1762]. The Vatican Transcripts illustrate the control of Rome in medieval times over the remotest northern parishes. Among the miscellaneous documents printed at the end of the volume...are the Letters of Legitimation granted by the sixth Earl of Argyll to Alexander Gald MacGregor in 1579, in which the Earl...exercises the privilege of legitimating a bastard; and the charter granted by Isabella Duchess of Albany to Sir Colin Campbell of Glenorchy in 1440, of certain lands in the Lennox.
