The Castle of Saint Conan's Kirk, SCOTLAND

This is historical not etymological but Scotclans and clan.com are incredible boredom killers so I wanted to join in.

Nathan MacKinnon is from Clan MacKinnon (originally in gaelic it's MacFhionghuin) which claims to be descended from the royal family of Kenneth MacAlpine. The clan slogan of “Cumnich Bas Alpin” or “Remember the death of Alpin” refers to the great-grandson of Kenneth, who was slain by Bruch, King of the Picts, in 837. His son Fingon, or “fair-born” is hailed as the progenitor of the clan. The 2 most important parts of clan history are that they fucking hate the MacLeans (neighbouring clan) and they supported the Stewart dynasty, having provided shelter to a 70 year Charles Edward Stewart.

Mason McTavish is a part of clan MacTavish; the Mc instead of Mac usually signifies having settled/been pushed into the Ulster region of Ireland and is common to find amongst highland clans and the MacTavish's are from the west Highlands since the 12th century. The name MacTavish is derived from the phoenetic pronunciation of MacTamhais which means “Son of Tammais” (Son of Thomas). It is likely that this changed in the 17th century as Gaelic was forcibly removed, this would be when Thompson became used as a variation. There's some claim that it's an offshoot of clan Campbell and for some reason some associate it with the moniker "The Children of the Mist" which is from clan MacGregor but anyways the motto is "Non Oblitus" which means forget not.

The Scottish clan websites that I've checked are confident that (Kurtis) MacDermid is a part of Clan Campbell (in Gaelic Caimbeul) and the list of associated names is so fucking long I don't understand it but they have been super influential since the mid 1400s onward. The first occurrence of the name Cambel (how it was originally spelt) found in surviving records owned land near Stirling in 1263. For a Cambel in Argyll the first records date from 1293 for Duncan Dubh, a landowner from Kintyre. Written records for Cambels in Lochawe date from 1296 where it is documented that Sir Cailein was killed after being attacked by Clan Dougall. The clan mythology is that in the 11th or 12th century either Smevie or Mervvn, son of Arthur (yes, that Arthur), became known as "the Wildman of the Woods" used a variation of the name OR that the first of the Campbell's who came to Argyll and married the heiress of the O’Duibne tribe, a lady called Eva, daughter of Paul an Sporran and that they lived near Lochawe. It was under King David (son of Robert the Bruce) introducing more efficient administration that it changed from Cambel to Campbell, the originally most likely came from Sir Cailein Mor Campbell’s grandfather Dugald on Lochawe who was nicknamed "Cam Beul" (curved mouth in Gaelic). I don't know why it got so many variations, like MacDermid, Gibson, Ure, Burns, Loudoun, Kissack, and Malcolm (and more!) all seem so unrelated but whatever.

Anyways you can find this for most Scottish names and Anglicized Irish names (or ones that start with Mc) and it's very fun, some, like the MacCallum's, have stupid (mythological) origin stories.

love name etymology. tkachuk means "weaver." ovechkin means "shepherd" or "sheep." bergeron also means "sheperd." i don't have anywhere to go from here i don't know what the point of this post is. symbolism lives within us all i guess

The Black Castle of Moulin - Ruins Site Walk Around - Pitlochry, Scotland

The Black Castle of Moulin, is a ruined castle located in Moulin near Pitlochry, Scotland. It is a scheduled monument. The castle was built about 1326 by Sir John Campbell of Lochawe on an island, or crannog, in a loch, now drained. The castle was torched in 1512, due to a fear of plague, and fell into ruins.

Getting serious wanderlust now. This wee Kirk is situated on the Banks of Lock Awe, in Argyll, Scotland. Voted one of the top ten buildings in Scotland of the last 100 years. Despite its looks it was completed in 1930 and is an A grade protected building. Housed within is a relic of King Robert the Bruce. Well worth a visit on your way to the west coast. #scotland #beautifulscotland #lochawe #kirk #weekirk #stconanskirk #argyllandbute #takemeback #shiftinglightphotography #waikatophotographer #nikon750 #nikonphotography (at Loch Awe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRptg7ZM0RZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
