KnapdalePeople: A Countess of the Covenant Times
http://knapdalepeople.blogspot.com/2010/10/countess-of-covenant-times.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. A Countess of the Covenant Times. At the age of 32, and having given birth to 6 children, she accompanied her ailing first husband through the very primitive Highlands during the failed Glencairn Uprising, and then over the Channel to Holland. And every now and then, when she had a chance, she brought Belcarres from bankruptcy and disaster back to financial stability. She was quite a lady.

KnapdalePeople: Lochgilphead Free Church
http://knapdalepeople.blogspot.com/2010/10/lochgilphead-free-church.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. On the lochside street, there is the imposing stone Free Church. Inside, it is very lovely, with a warm light from its large windows and pale peach-coloured walls. I attended services here for the 3 Sundays I stayed in Lochgilphead. My Campbell and MacIntyre ancestors were members and early supporters of this Church, as you can see by reading the Duncan McGilp letters. On Knapdale People Website.

KnapdalePeople: St Columba's Cave on Loch Caolisport
http://knapdalepeople.blogspot.com/2010/09/st-columbas-cave-on-loch-caolisport.html
Monday, September 27, 2010. St Columba's Cave on Loch Caolisport. On the south western side of Loch Caolisport, there is a ruined Chapel and behind that, a cave. This is known as "St Columba's Cave". St Columba (c520 to c600) was an aristocrat who founded Celtic Christianity in, among other places on the Irish Sea, Iona. This particular Cave is on the shore of that sea, and it is not ridiculous to think that, indeed, it was first used by that Saint. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A part of Argyll.

KnapdalePeople: Keills
http://knapdalepeople.blogspot.com/2010/10/keills.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. Keills lies south of Tayvallich and faces Jura Sound. It is here that the a pier was built in the early 1800s. Cattle from Islay and Jura were conveyed across the Sound to this part of Knapdale. The pier, build with Thomas Telford's guidance, is, like its twin at Lagg on Jura, is gradually disappearing into the water. To refresh your memory, this is the pier on Jura:. This area was once part of the Clan McNeill territories. An archaeological description of this building. The ...

KnapdalePeople: Auchendrain Outdoor Museum
http://knapdalepeople.blogspot.com/2010/10/auchendrain-outdoor-museum.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. Lies between Inveraray and Lochgilphead. It was a working village, and was donated by the Duke of Argyll for purposes of study and tourism. It is beautifully presented, with everything from a pauper's house to a tacksman's home. I have used a number of my photos from previous visits to illustrate 'everyday life'. In the early 1800s.

KnapdalePeople: Gairloch, and Auchnabreac
http://knapdalepeople.blogspot.com/2010/10/gairloch-and-auchnabreac.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. Gairloch, and Auchnabreac. One of my interests is the last Campbell of Auchenbreac. Back in the 1600s, he was the foremost Knapdale landowner. He was the 2d in command to Campbell of Argyll. One of these Auchenbreacs led the Campbells at the Battle Inverlochy. Marion Campbell dates the building to the late 17th century or early 18th century. It was probably intended as a lookout post. Recently, it has been completely renovated, and made into a modern home.
