Chronicle of FortingallTHE so-called Chronicle of Fortingall, compiled by James MacGregor, Vicar of Fortingall and Dean of Lismoir, contains a most valuable abstract of the contemporaneous history of the ClanGregor, and therefore it is here given, omitting many entries not connected with the Clan. The Chronicle was continued from 1531 by the Curate of Fortingall. The first portion was published in the original Latin, with a translation by Mr. Gregory, in 1831, and advantage of this translation has been taken on the next page, whilst the latter part has been copied from the Black Book of Taymouth, merely translating the few words of Latin.

A duplicate (of the Gaelic and Scotch part) is to be found in the Black Book of Taymouth, and it is known as the Chronicle (or Obituary) of Fortingall. [2] In contradistinction to Malcolm IV. [3] Jedburgh. [4] Kerrera, off Oban. [5] True date is said to have been 7th June 1329. [6] Clachan Dysart - now the church of Glenurquhay, close to Dalmally. [7] True date 1406. [8] Keirquhin, Carwhin, a property belonging to the Robertsons, to the west of Crannoch; but there was another Carwhin in the parish of Balquhidder belonging to a family of Campbells.- Ed. [9] This property in Glendochart belonged to the MacNabs till acquired by Sir Colin Campbell of Glenurchy (as also Bovaine) in 1552. - Ed. [10] Probably Balloch near Taymouth. [11] Now Kenmore. (An old church lower down the river than Kenmore, destroyed by the third Earl of Breadalbane; there was also a village and ford over the Tay. - Ed.) [12] In taking down many years ago the old church of Dysart, several stone coffins were found at the north part of the east end of the church, where the MacGregors appear chiefly to have been buried. Several of their old tombstones, much defaced, were likewise discovered, which are still appropriated by such of the clan as bury in the churchyard (1831). Note by Compiler. - Pennant, in his book A Tour in 1769, writes :- The church is seated on a knowl ... In the churchyard are several gravestones of great antiquity, with figures of a warrior, each furnished with a spear or two handed sword; on some are representations of the chase, on others elegant fretwork, and on one - said to be part of the coffin of a MacGregor, is a fine running pattern of foliage and flowers, and, excepting the figure, all in good taste. At a meeting of the Society of Antiquities of Scotland in Jan. 1897, Mr. Brydale read a paper describing a group of seven carved grave slabs in the churchyard at Dalmally, which is stated to have been the burying-place of the Chiefs of MacGregor from 1390 to 1528. The Chronicle records the burial of no fewer than twelve of these Chiefs successively in stone coffins at the north side of the east end of the church. When the old church was demolished about 1811, a number of stone coffins and carved grave slabs were found in this position. ..... Of the seven stones now described three are of the same type, showing in a panel the figure of an armed man with sword and spear, and wearing a pointed bascinet and short tunic, the rest of the surface being filled up with folingeous ornamentation. A fourth is curious as showing this type superimposed on a larger figure obliterated, and having a cross at the top of the stone. Of the other two of this type one is curious from its small size and the other is much mutilated. The seventh is apparently the front slab of an altar tomb, and bears a finely carved scroll of foliage, but no armed figures. Drawings of all the slabs were exhibited. Abridged from an account of the meeting in the Oban Times of 23rd Jan. 1897. [13] Son of the preceding entry. [14] Marinch or Morenish, on the north side of Loch Tay, near Killin Pier. It was at one time in possession of the Menzieses, but was acquired by Sir Duncan Campbell, seventh Laird of Glenurchy, 1602. - Ed. [15] There was a nunnery, the ruins of which are still to be seen (1831) on the island at the east end of Loch Tay. [16] McClaw, alias Grant. [17] Glenlyon House. [18] The ancient name of Kenmore. [19] Wife of Gregor Dhu. She was buried at Inchadin. [20] Aychinschecall. [21] It is stated in a very old charter in reference to Auchinchallane, and other papers connected with the subsequent sale of this property to the Campbells, exist in private hands, but the compiler has not access to them. [22] Tergarmuchd Island on the Tay, between Kenmore and Aberfeldie. - From Lairds and Lands of Loch tayside, by John Christie, 1892. [23] Till 1600 the year began in March. [24] Eddergoll, ancient name of a district extending from Auchrioch Burn, at Callelochan, to the east end of Loch Tay. - From Lairds and Lands of Loch Tay. [25] More probably Sir John Stewart [26] Killiechassie. [27] An island at the west end of Loch Tay, near Killin. [28] Uachddarblairis. [29] At Glenlyon. [30] Son of John McEwin McAllaster of Glenstray, who died 1528, 12th April (see next page). [31] John McEwin McAllaster of Glenstray, who had succeeded his second cousin in 1519. [32] Ayethachallodor in the Black Book of Taymouth. [33] It is assumed by Mr. Gregory that Dean MacGregors death must have taken place soon after this period. But the Curate of Fortingall continued the Obituary from 1531, and the entry on August 11 is therefore repeated with a memorandum added, and the Chronicle is henceforward quoted from Black Book of Taymouth. [34] According to the age of the young Chief mentioned in 1532, Glenstray can at this time gave been only twenty. - Ed. [35] Pray for the soul of him who did good to God and man, added in the Latin version. |
