Book Synopsis A History of the Dunvegan Estate, Macleod by : Adam Dimech
Download or read book A History of the Dunvegan Estate, Macleod written by Adam Dimech and published by Adam Dimech. This book was released on 2023-02-27 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did it take half a century for a residential housing subdivision in the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia's second-largest city, to succeed? This is a history of the Dunvegan Estate in Macleod. When residential lots were first offered for sale in 1924 by prominent landowner Edith Jessie Macleod, most were purchased within a couple of years. Yet decades passed without a single house being built. This book describes the development history of the Dunvegan Estate via an exploration of early land sales, an account of critical decisions made during the process of subdivision and a documenting of the ultimate failure of the project to yield any substantial residential development. Only the direct intervention of two levels of government over several more decades would finally lead to the success of the Dunvegan Estate as a residential community, but not without significant controversy. Includes maps and photos.
Download or read book Culloden Tales written by Hugh G. Allison and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-04-08 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culloden was the last battle on British soil. It marked the end of clan culture and was the harbinger of the Highland Clearances. It ensured the inevitability of the American Revolution and increased the outpouring of Scots across the globe. It is the only battle that British Army regiments are not permitted to include in their battle honours; the only battle that Bonnie Prince Charlie ever lost; and the only battle that the Duke of Cumberland ever won. Culloden is a battlefield, a graveyard and an iconic site that draws people from all parts of the world. And as they come, they bring with them their stories and their father's father's stories. These stories tell of civil war, of love, of the unexpected and even of the supernatural. They are peopled by the second-sighted, by clan chiefs and by others who have kept family secrets for centuries. The battlefield is a poignant location, resonant with past deeds and emotive memories. These Culloden tales are offered as a unique record to the power of the place.

Download or read book Scottish Exodus written by James Hunter and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-03-25 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Scots have left their homeland during the last 400 years. Until now, they have been written about in general terms. Scottish Exodus breaks new ground by taking particular emigrants, drawn from the once-powerful Clan MacLeod, and discovering what happened to them and their families. These people became, among other things, French aristocrats, Polish resistance fighters, Texan ranchers, New Zealand shepherds, Australian goldminers, Aboriginal and African-American activists, Canadian mounted policemen and Confederate rebels. One nineteenth-century MacLeod even went so far as to swap his Gaelic for Arabic and his Christianity for Islam before settling down comfortably in Cairo. This gripping account of Scotland's worldwide diaspora is based on unpublished documents, letters and family histories. It is also based on the author's travels in the company of today's MacLeods - some of them still in Scotland, others further afield. Scottish Exodus is a tale of disastrous voyages, famine and dispossession, the hazards of pioneering on faraway frontiers. But it is also the moving story of how people separated from Scotland by hundreds of years and thousands of miles continue to identify with the small country where their journeyings began.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid account of the life and times of the larger-than-life Canadian hero who played a major role in the peaceful development of western Canada. A descendant of warriors, chiefs, and military men of the Clan MacLeod, James A.F. Macleod led an adventurous life that took him from his birthplace on Scotland's Isle of Skye to the Canadian west. After immigrating to Ontario, Macleod became a lawyer and militia officer before joining the effort to quell the 1870 Red River Resistance. In 1874, he was appointed assistant commissioner of the newly formed North West Mounted Police and led his troops west to smash the whisky trade and bring law and order to the vast North-West Territories. Macleod smoked the peace pipe with prominent chiefs like Crowfoot and Red Crow, earning their trust as a man who kept his promises. As a policeman and judge, Macleod showed a strong sense of justice, sympathizing with the plight of Indigenous Peoples and challenging the government when it failed to fulfil treaty obligations.
