Christi --may have a connection. My Farquhar McCrimmon immigrated to Ontario in 1815, I'm
decended from his son Kenneth and then George; they moved to Oakland, CA by the 1870s with MacLeod
"cousins" --Kenneth McCrimmon's and Donald MacLeod's wifes were Grogan sisters-- but I am
very curious of other McCrimmon/MacLeod unions as we understand the families were close before the
Grogan marriages and immigrated to Canada at the same time. Do you have other children of John and
Christ (McCrimmon) McLeod? --Nick

Hi Lee,
When I started this website I did so as I couldn't find enough information on
our family on the web. Since then as you can see from the site I have found cousins from Canada to
the US to Scotland and England and as far away as Australia.
Marion Lees who has a page
in our site is a lovely person who lives in Glasgow, Scotland. her page is at:
http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg14.html
Donald John McCrimmon (England) was
the first on board and he is still trying to link his branch to our tree. The site was created
with his help and the transcibing of the first McCrimmon book written by G. Poulter. We call him
Doonald and he is quite witty. http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg3.html
Anne
Seymour (Maryland) has been researching her branch....now spelled McRimmon. Hers was the next
page and she submitted some old letters that can be found on her page http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg2.html
Alan McCrimmon has his branch linked up and he lives in Scotland. A great person and a
generous soul as well. http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg8.html
Rosanne
McInnes has connected her branch....Australia. She is another we all feel we know well. http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg11.html
Malcolm MacCrimmon (Canada)...a very dear cousin and 81 years young has been researching our
family for over fifty years and is also ninth heretitary piper. He has rooms of information which I
am slowly getting through. http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg4.html
Malcolm's
son Iain....lives back in Scotland and tenth hereditary piper. Iain has composed many pipe tunes and
has written several piping books as well. A very talented piper indeed. His son Calum (age 15) is
now winning piping competitions throughout Scotland. http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/legend.html
My branch (Canada)....my grandfather (Norman Murchison McCrimmon) http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg7.html
My grandfather's brother Hector..Canada http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg10.html
Three books written on our family http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg1.html http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg5.html http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/indexpg6.html
A new book soon to be published by Bruce Campbell http://hometown.aol.com/maccrimmonpipers
Also the new Mac Crimmon Tartan (the old one was a plain blue and we know of one in
existance in England...Dr. Callum McCrimmon wore it and is now in the hands of his son Padruig Rene
Og McCrimmon) http://www.oocities.org/mccrimmon.geo/mactartan.html
Tom McCrimmon is
another cousin (England) we are still waiting for his page...right Tom? Graham Ranft ,
Daniel, Ray.....others in Australia.... Many more throughout the US...a list that goes on and
on
We have all found each other through this website and have indeed become close and
feel like we have all known each other for years. As you can see from the message board,
several Georgia McCrimmons are now getting in touch with us.....please send me your information as I
will anything I have. I can also send you copies of the three books mentioned above (in MSword
format). We are all working together to create the most informative site we can. I will be glad to
create and load a page for your branch as well (no cost involved) when you have decided what you
would like to place there. A Georgia branch page would indeed be an asset to our site. By the
way it is a site for our family so we all refer to it as "Our Site" Anything is welcome
from any family member! As to the spelling of our family name....some spell it
McCrimmon,MacCrimmon, McRimmon, McRummen, McCrummen..... no matter how it's spelled.....we are
all from the same family and all originated from the Isle of Skye. Feel free to contact any one of
us and welcome aboard!! Regards, Anita

and he says Quote "Good idea giving a brief resume of all the main "players" in our Website. However I wish (again) to draw your attention to the fact that I did not transcribe
the first McCrimmon book written by G. Poulter. It was passed on to me by Tom McCrimmon a wee
while before "our" Website began to get into gear. Tom did tell me where he

Query
In the summer of 1773 Donald Ruadh Mac Crimmon, who was born on the Isle
of Skye, emigrated with his wife and two sons to "Anson County" in North Carolina U S A.
Donald obtained the rank of Lieutenant in the 84th Regiment of the "Royal Emigrants" and
was involved throught the "American War of Independence," captured and eventually escaped
with his family who made their way to Shelburne, Nova Scotia in 1783. Donald's family consisted of
his wife, (name unknown) four sons, Patrick, Malcolm, Peter and Donald plus one daughter, (name
unknown). We believe that Malcolm and Donald were born in Scotland and that his sister was born in
North Carolina. Lt Donald Ruadh Mac Crimmon left Nova Scotia in 1799 with his small family for
Scotland, leaving behind their son Peter. It is believed that Peter married a girl Hannah, they had
a son named "Jesse". -FROM the MORMAN CHURCH RECORDS of CHRISTIENING listed as follows: Jesse Mc Crimmon (M) c: 31 Oct, 1791. Peter Mc Crimmon (M) Christ Church, Shelburne, N/S. Hannah Mc Crimmon (F). Parishes of St George and St Patrick, Shelburne, N/S. Jesse's
grandfather, Lt. Donald Ruadh Mac Crimmon, left Shelburne, Nova Scotia in 1799 with all his family
except Peter, Hannah and Jesse. Where did this family disappear to as there are no records of any
sort left re them? Lt. Donald Ruadh Mac Crimmon was born in the Parish of Duirinish,
Inverness-shire, Isle of Skye, 1743, his wife's name is unknown, d: 1825.

Uprisings, the famines on Skye and the ultimate farewell to Dunvegan in the 1840s. But the
story doesn't end there and the modern day MacCrimmons and competitions are also studied. Legend,
tradition and historical fact all play their part in this fascinating narration written by one
of the world's top piping writers and historians. Also included is the first major study
of the MacCrimmon piobaireachd compositions ever published. If you would like to find out

MacCrummen Spelling Saturday, 06-May-00 21:29:19
Message:
In many official documents relating to the American War of Independence, Donald Ruadh has spelt
his surname 'MacCrummen'. It is an interesting point because the spelling of 'MacCrimmon', as
is very popular today, had been in use for over a century before Donald. In fact Donald Ruadh
is such an interesting character in his own right, spelling or no spelling. I would like to
hear from members of the clan on their anecdotes of the spelling of their surname. Our book on
the MacCrimmons is now in final proof although the chaptr concerning Donald Ruadh is being rewritten
after lots of good material came in. I would like to thank everybody for all their posts. I
would also like to apologise because we were caught up in the great microsoft crash earlier this
year and a lot of email info was lost. (I now back up!) However, the project goes on and the
book will be on sale at the Kintail marquee at the World Pipe Band Championships this year. We
are also establishing a MacCrimmon piping website and details of that plus full details of the book
launch will be advised later as things get closer. Susan Campbell researcher "The

Susan,
I can't remember (old age!) if I have replied to this before but I read
somewhere that MacCrimmon is not as close to the Gaelic form as is Mac Grummen. Certainly there is a
record of a 'Mac Grummen' of Skye against whom a petition was raised in the early (I think) 1600s.
It would be useful to track down a Gaelic speaker if you could. If I come across the reference I'll
pass it on.

Re: MacCrummen Spelling Tuesday, 19-Sep-00

Susan,
Our family adopted the McCrummen spelling about 1873 after using McCrimmon,
McCrimon, and McRimmon, depending on who was doing the writing.
The family had arrived in
Texas, by way of Alabama and North Carolina, in 1850. Some coming to Texas from Alabama soon after
the Civil War in 1865 to live with the family which was already established in Cherokee County,
Texas.
My great-great-grandfather, John McCrimmon 1822-1909 and born in N.C.), became
friends with a Scottish school teacher. The teacher was teaching in Rusk, Texas where the children
attended school. He told my g-g-grandfather that the name was spelled as
"M-c-C-r-u-m-m-e-n" in Scotland. John McCrimmon immediately adopted that spelling and his
descendants use McCrummen to his day.
There is a little more to the details, but
esentially this is how we came to use McCrummen.
Interestingly, his brother, who lived in
the same small rural community, did not adopt that spelling. His family eventually adopted the
McRimmon spelling after using McCrimmon. All the males of this line are now deceased.

Dear Doonald
I once came across a Farquhar and Kate MacCrimmon in the 1851 census for
Glenelg. They were living at Cousack (Còsag) in Glenelg, and had a 1-year-old daughter,
Margaret. Farquhar was described as an Agricultural Labourer, aged 32. His wife's maiden name
was not given but her place of birth was Lochalsh. She was aged 23. As I was not sure of a link
with my own family I did not look for them in any other census records. It may be worth your while
checking the Lochalsh census records as well as Glenelg as they may have moved.

I thought I had a match for you, the names seemed awefully familiar - but check this out:
Farquar MacCrimmon (1824-1907)(son of Malcolm MacCrimmon and Isabella MacLennan or MacLellan),
married Sarah McRae in 1849. This would have been in Ontario, Canada though as Farquar's family had
emmigrated in 1824, when he was a baby. Farquar did have a son named Donald F.(1850-?), but he
married an Annie MacLeod.
It's amazing how the same names are recycled so often in this
family! Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Editorial Comment from the West Highland Free Press dated Friday 24th March 2000.
"In
setting an asking price of £10 million for large parts of Dunvegan Estate, Mr John MacLeod is
displaying the most familiar characteristic of the Highland landowning class throughout history -
sheer naked avarice. Mr MacLeod inherited the stewardship of this estate, with its priceless
natural assets, in his capacity - however geneaologically dubious - as Chief of the Clan MacLeod. He
has been astute in exploiting that soubriquet for professional and commercial purposes. Now,
however, the bogus nature of the whole "clan" facade is laid bare as Mr MacLeod pursues
his £10 million from the highest bidder while kinsmen and community are reduced to the role of
spectators. It seems likely that Mr MacLeod has moved now in order to avoid the proposed land
reform legislation which is intended to act as a counter to precisely this kind of behaviour. But
the community and wider public interests can still exert a good deal of influence. The aim must
now be to achieve the best available outcome which is consistent with these interests - and that is
unlikely to be the one which would be determined only by the demands of Mr John MacLeod's bank
account."

and Rachel Currie. Rachel and Daniel were married in 1816 in Liberty County Georgia. They migrated
to Smith County MS. Patrick was the brother of my gg grandfather, Daniel McCrimmon. We do not know
what happened to Patrick. He and his family are on the 1860 Rankin County MS census, I have found no
record of him after that date. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am descended from two lines of Glenelg MacCrimmons. Archibald MacCrimmon was my
ggg-grandfather. He was born at Swordland (Suardalan) in Glen More, Glenelg circa 1793. He farmed at
Immergraden, also in Glen More, and later at Bernera. His wife's name was Ann MacLeod and they had a
family of 10 including twins, one of whom was also known as Archibald. Archibald
(ggg-grandfather) died in 1869 and is buried in Glenelg.
I hope this information may be
of some assistance in your search.

NAME CUSTOMS ON THE ISLE OF LEWIS Wednesday, 26-Jan-00 19:32:41
HEBRIDEAN SURNAMES
The vast majority of the people on the island share only a few surnames....Macleod,
Murray, Maciver, Macdonald, Mackenzie, Morrison and Macleay.
The 'Mac' means 'son
of', therefore...MacLeod indicates 'the son of Leod'. Peculiar to the Hebrides, root names are
not capitalized, hence, the name would be spelled Macleod without the capital 'L'.
FAMILY
FIRST NAMES
Tradition dictates that first names reflect family history. While it is not
a hard and fast rule, these traditions were very strong during up until a few years ago.
Under normal circumstances, the first two to four children would be named after the paternal
and maternal grandparents in no particular order other than an adherence to the feminine and
masculine genders.
Given this, the following members of Danny's (my grandfateher) family would have been named for the following:
ALEXANDER CAMPBELL McLEOD - After the maternal
grandfather, Alexander Campbell of Lionel Ness.
DONALD DUNCAN MACLEOD - After the
paternal grandfather, the Lewis Shepherd...Domnull Dhonnacaidh of Galson Farm.
ELIZABETH
CRAIGHY HENDERSON MACLEOD (LAWSON) - After the maternal grandmother Elizabeth Craighy Henderson
Pratice of Glasgow (wife of Angus Murray....the Big Soldier from Tolsta).
MARGARET
CAMPBELL MACLEOD (ROBSON) - After paternal grandmother, Margaret Campbell of Lionel Ness.
DONALDA CORA ANNE MACLEOD (MILNE) - Initially named after Gormelia Murray (Cora being the
short form of Gormelia), and/or Annabelle's sister Cora Anne.
Later, Donalda was
added by Danny as the feminine form of Donald...either after himself or his father. While Donna
is the accepted short form for Donalda, she was called Dolly within the family....which is an
Anglicised form of the Gaelic translation of Gormelia or Cora....Dollaig which may account
for the nickname 'Dolly' among the Gaelic speaking population of Saskatchewan.
The
same names will be repeated from generation to generation. A possible exception to this might
happen if the first and second child of a family are stillborn, then the 'curse' would be
removed by using a biblical name.
Case in point, a relative in Shader is named Angus
Ebanizer Macleod. His father was born after two stillbirths and was named Ebanizer....which, according to tradition is now a family name and will likely continue to be used in
generations to come.
If a family name was used for a child that died during birth or
shortly thereafter, that name would quite likely be used again for another child in the
family.
Quite often, the first child is named after the paternal grandparent. If,
but providence, the parent dies shortly after the child's birth, it's name would be changed to
the parents name. This happened to another of our relatives who was named John after his
paternal grandfather. A week or so after the birth was registered, the father died....so the
child's name was changed to Donald in respect of his father. (see Appendix for the
certificate of name change).
NICKNAMES
A common practice in the Hebrides.
Given the fact that there are only a few surnames....and the traditional assignment of first
names, there are a great number of people who share the exact same names. In our family, Donald
and Margaret are the two most popular male and female names.
In order to differentiate
one from another, the custom of using nicknames has found very strong use. In many cases, a
person is simply referred to by his first and second name...sometimes in English or Gaelic...or
a combination of the two. For example, I met three Margaret Macleods all from the same
family (first or second cousins). They were known as...Margaret Joan, Margie and Margaret
Ishbal.
Within a few days, I was assigned the nickname "Ruaraidh Alex".
Also of interest, it is quite accepted that children address adults by their first or
nicknames instead of using the normal prefixes to which we have become accustomed.
PEDIGREES
When you are trying to identify where your roots are, you can either go through a long
dissertation about 'who begat who' or simply string a succession of first or nicknames together
beginning with yourself...then parent, grandparent and great grandparent until you reach the
name of the person to which you want to be identified.
Thus, the first day I was
there, I was told to identify myself as: "Ruaraidh, Alex, Danny, Domnull Dhonnacaidh"
(Rod, Alex, Danny, Donald Duncan). Took a bit of work to get my tongue around the Gaelic...but
the pedigree served me well on the west side of the island.
On the east or Tolsta
side, (home of my grandmother), the pedigree would be: "Ruaraidh, Alex, Annabelle,
Saighdear Mor" (which translates to Rod, Alex, Annabelle, Big Soldier).
On more
then one occasion, I would be in conversation with a perfect stranger and got onto the subject
of what brought me to the island. After determining where they were from, I would rattle off
the appropriate pedigree. More often than not, the person would tell me how he was related
to the same person!
One night while playing with the Lewis Pipe Band during the Gaelic
Mod, I was talking to a young piper in the band. Once I found that he was from Tolsta, I
offered my pitch...and he replied by saying that the "Saigdear Mor" (Big Soldier) of
Tolsta was his great grand uncle. Without further adieu, his mother located the Murray family
who today reside on the same croft, and we launched into an impromptu family reunion. Rod

A Lost MacCrimmon Sunday, 23-Jan-00 22:01:08
Somewhere in the Oban Times letters to the editor, 1920s or 1930s, you will find someone's
account of an extraordinary adventure by a MacCrimmon seafarer who had been shipwrecked somewhere in
the Pacific during the 18th century. The letter was written, as I recall, by another Scottish
seafarer who also had been shipwrecked on the same island, and, according to his account, he found
this MacCrimmon living happily among natives and had developed a new instrument or two out of local
materials, native musical instruments and the concept of the bagpipe. I spotted this letter while
researching for my MA thesis on the 1920s-30s Oban Times piping essays of A.K. Cameron (1882-1956)
of Montana, a disciple of the controversial Simon Fraser, Australia. Cameron was a strong proponent
of the Cremona story.

Lesley, I wrote you a few days ago, but I did not send it through here, so I will write again. My great grandfather, John McCrimmon, named one of his sons Farquahar, but he was killed in the
War Between The States. John's father had been named Archibald and the 1790 census says he was born
in Scotland. John and his family grew up and still has some descendents living in Telfair County, in
southeast Georgia. The county seat of Telfair County was named McRae, because so many with that
family named moved to the section. I hope I will hear from you and that we can help each other on
some of our research. Robert Jeffries (rjffres@charter.net)

Dear Lesley
My ggg-grandfather, Archibald MacCrimmon, was born at Swordland , Glen
More, Glenelg, circa 1793. According to my grandfather, who was brought up in Glenelg, two of
Archibald's brothers, Duncan and Farquhar, emigrated to Canada. Their father's name was Duncan. I thought there may be a connection due to the fact that the names of your Farquhar's children are
identical to my Archibald's family , the only exception being Malcolm — could be coincidental but
worth checking.

My maiden name was McCrimmon. I am a sixth generation Canadian. My mother has two entire
suitcases of McCrimmon family history that dates back to the family during the time of Bonnie Prince
Charlie, that has been passed down between generations over time. In the belief that we are all
related somewhere along the line, it would be interesting to see where the connection exists. My
ancestors settled ouside Ottawa, Ontario, on a land grant. I look forward to making connections with
McCrimmons in Canada, the US and The UK.

The two Boreraigs in the Isle of Skye Saturday, 08-Jan-00 08:04:15
Boreraig appears to be an old Norse place name meaning "Thor's Bay".
Anyone
doing any Boreraig related research needs to be careful, because in the Isle of Skye there were two
villages named Boreraig [sometimes spelt Borerraig].
Recently I noticed Poulter was
caught by the trap the same name for two places creates, in Book 1, where he says:-
"On
11 March, 1528 Donald Gruamach of Sleat was compelled to compensate John MacAngus, Borreaig, for
cattle etc."
This is not a reference to the village of Boreraig in the west of Skye,
near Galtrigal and Dunvegan, where the McCrimmon pipers were based.
It is a reference to
the village of Boreraig in Strath, in the south of Skye, and very close to the western head of the
Sleat peninsula. This village was razed in 1853, by trustees anxious to reduce the extent of the
debts of the McDonalds of Sleat by expelling crofters and importing sheep.
MacAoghais
translates into english as either McInnes or McAngus, and the village of Boreraig in Strath was a
MacAoghais stronghold.
Despite the suggestions certain modern tour operators like to
make, the well documented and brutal Boreraig clearances did not occur in the McCrimmon Boreraig
village near Dunvegan.
Happy New Year to all of you!!! Rosanne McInnes South

the Glasgow/Dumbarton/Renton areas. I have? an Aunt Annabelle married to my Uncle Jimmy
McCrimmon deceased 196?, who was a Chief Engineer in the Merchant Navy and from Dumbarton. Like a

Archibald McCrimmon(1755-1842) Thursday, 09-Dec-99 12:36:12
I am searching for more information on my gggg grandfather, Archibald McCrimmon. He was born
about 1755 in Glenelg. He came over about 1783 to Robeson Co., NC and Marion Co., SC. Does anyone
have information on this line of NC/SC McCrimmons?
Susan

Re: Archibald McCrimmon(1755-1842) Tuesday,
21-Mar-00 23:06:29
Susan, Did your Archibald McCrimmon die in Nc or Sc. An Archibald McCrimmon, who I think was
living in NC, or SC for the 1790 census moved near Augusta, Georgia and died in the area. His widow
then moved with the rest of her family to Montgomery County in Southeast Georgia. Later her son John
settled in what was then one county over, Telfair. Some of the descendents still live in the area.
My grandmother married first one of John's sons, Tommy, and after his death married my grandfather.
John had a large family, but one name which stands out in my mind was Farquhar, who died in the
Confederate Army. I hope we are working on the same line and that we can help each other by sharing
information. Robert Jeffries (rjffres@charter.net

MacCrimmon Blue Kilt Monday, 06-Dec-99 13:37:02
Mac Crimmon's Revenge. (December 1999).
Dear Editor
I wonder what my great
great grandfather Donald McCrimmon of Woodville, Ontario would have said could he have seen the
latest supposed Mac Crimmon Tartan being put on the market to-day by a family in Guelph,
Ontario. The new watered down version of the Mac Leod of Harris in no way whatsoever represents
the Mac Crimmon Royal Blue Kilt of the Ancient Past and still in existence to-day and worn by a
present day Mac Crimmon. Families in Scotland, Canada and elsewhere across the world are more
than disturbed over this item as few, if any had been contacted as to a change being made re their
precious Blue Kilt. Being very religious people, the Mac Crimmon's certainly took the color of the
Heavenly Skies the Blue Lochs, the Blue distant hills of Harris and the Heather covered Hills as
their love of a family colour. The National Flag of Scotland strongly shows the Blue Background in
its make-up. Many continental Europeans came from various religious back grounds, they seem to
favour Blue Colours in their uniforms when attending world-wide athletic events. Writers,
especially in Scotland have for many, many years mentioned the MacCrimmons and the Blue Kilt this
family was known to have worn. Surely Clan Mac Leod of Scotland for whom their Hereditary Piping
Family were Mac Crimmons for over 300, years would have recognized the Blue Kilt as a Mac Crimmon
trade mark so to speak. One of the most prestigious awards in our modern world of Piping, is held
each year in London, England when the top Gold Medallist Pipers compete for the honor of winning the
coveted Bratach Gorm' which is a Blue Banner donated in the 1930,s by Dr. Calum Mac Crimmon from the
Isle of Skye. The Doctor who was the Chieftain of Clan Mac Crimmon Society in the early 1930,s,
always wore his Blue Kilt even to the unveiling of the Mac Crimmon Cairn at Borreraig in Skye, he
was a believer in the colors worn by the Celtic and Druids from whom our people descended . The
British infantry in Caesar's time were known to have worn Blue painted uniforms. An ancient fable
states that when Adam and Eve were being banished from the Garden of Eden, all the plants turned
away their heads in shame, save one tiny Blue flower which called out, "Forget Me Not". Let us not lose sight of our Blue Skies so close to Heaven and the outer space or the next thing
we know our very much revered Piobaireachd Bagpipe compositions will be altered to suit some persons
fancy. In closing Forget Me Not, yes we Mac Crimmons still abide by our heritage beliefs and trust
the love of our families will never die for one another. Highlanders Through and Through.

Slainte, I'm not sure what your ggGrandfather Donald MacCrimmon would have thought of the new
MacCrimmon kilt but, I can tell you that this Donald McCrimmon thinks the MacCrimmon tartan is
outstanding and is incredibly proud to be the owner of the very first MacCrimmon tartan kilt. We
gave it to our eldest son Paul (24yrs) on Chistmas Day and I can assure you it looks magnificant.
Perhaps it would have been wise for you to actually see the Kilt before passing judgment on this
wounderful creation of Irene MacCrimmon. This was not a simple overnite project, but one which took
a tremendous amount of labour and love. I also think that it would have been wise of you to research
who "this family from Guelph" really is, you might be suprised!

Again, many thanks for the info on the MacCrimmons which continues to come through to us. This
list has proved to be such a valuable aid that I am encouraged to post a question; what was the
religion of the MacCrimmon piperss circa 1840s? This is not a contentious issue and is not one
of religious debate. But it would have bearing on some of the primary evidence we have gathered on
the MacCrimmon piping family. I would be grateful if anyone could send m info at

publishing schedule of the book. regards Susan Campbell (the totally but happy

We have a manuscript for a new book on the MacCimmon Piping Family which is 96% complete. It
explores the history of the family, their place within the clan system, popular tales - but
importantly views the whole subject within the economic and social standpoint of the time. It
also deals with Alistair Campsie's theories, MacCrimmon piobaireachd and the last of the MacCrimmons
in some detail - and concludes with emigration from Boreraig, Lowerkill and Glenelg. I invite
anyone who has a MacCrimmon connection to contact me. This book has been twenty years in
research and becomes it virtually represents the adult life work of the author we are determined
that it should not leave any stone unturned. Our print date is set for May 2000. thank you Susan Campbell and the

Just received word about your pending addition to the MacCrimmon library. My
hearty congratulations on researching and recording the history of this great family.
I
have read many pieces...without fail, all fall just short of the mark. When Donald Ruadh resigned
his post as 8th Hereditary Piper to the MacLeod...most assume that the story ends! In the persuit of
accuracy, nobody has taken the time to follow the thread to his descendents and the subsequent
re-establishment of the hereditary line.
As you are probably aware, during WWII, Malcolm
MacCrimmon (of Vancouver Canada) went to war as a piper in the Calgary Highlanders. Due to the
scholarly work of George Poulter (a student of the MacCrimmon family history), Malcolm was appointed
9th hereditary piper by Dame Flora while visiting Dunvegan Castle.
On Sept 17, 1978,
Malcolm's son Iain Norman MacCrimmon was subsequently formally appointed by John MacLeod of
MacLeod.... documented, signed and sealed as the 10th hereditary piper. Any printed account of the
MacCrimmons that does not acknowledge the re-establishment of the line is doing a great dis-service
to the history of the MacCrimmon pipers.
Please contact me if you would like any more
information. I was the official witness to Iain's appointment.
Sincerely,
Rod
McLeod

Re: Chester McCrimmons Thursday, 02-Dec-99
22:32:27
I can confirm the correctness of most of Anita's reply to you with regard to the line of 1a
Thomas MacCrimmon, although my wife Sandra insists that he was Thomas McCrimmon. Although we reside
in the Toronto area, we in fact married in Liverpool. The story of the dispute between the two
brothers is family legend that Sandra heard as a child. In fact, when her grandmother registered her
birth, Sandra's last name was spelled McCrimman, supposedly as a peace offering!
Not sure
whether this helps, but good luck in your search. Sandra's brother was doing some research on the
family history, so will ask him to contact you if he can add more information.

In the intro, there is mention that Donald Ruadh was a Lt. in the 84th RHE. He does not appear on
any of the rosters or on the Army List. As an historian I am very interested in "lost"

Dear Kelly,
If you are interested in talking to a distant cousin who has no interest
in family history, but is interested in things like dancing, her name is Miffy Lloyd, she is 16, and
her email address is max_drool@yahoo.com. She lives in Australia.
Her great great
grandmother was Sarah McCrimmon, whose picture is on the Alex McCrimmon of Cargerie page at the
McCrimmon registry.
Good luck in tracking down the information you are after. You have a
14yr old cousin in Australia who does like family information, but I haven't got her email address.

Annie & Kenneth McCrimmon Wednesday, 11-Aug-99 15:04:06
I hope everyone is well. I am looking for information on Annie McCrimmon who was born about 1846
in Glenelg Scotland (possibly Oban). She married Alexander Beaton on the Isle of Skye 3 Oct 1861.
Alexander was born 1837/1841. Alexander died in Blaine Washington 1 Sept 1908. Annie died in
Aberdeen (Surrey) BC 24 Aug 1908. Annies' father was Kenneth and her mother was Catherine Bethune.
She had at least two brothers, Malcolm and Archibald. I don't know anything about Malcolm but
Archibald lived in Vancouver BC, Canada and made fiddles. He died Nov 7, 1927.

Pibroch-Voices. Saturday, 07-Aug-99 18:56:56
Composed on the occasion of the unveiling by Macleod of Macleod of the monument to the
MacCrimmons at Borreraig in Skye, the 2nd August 1933 by Charles Richard Cammell.
PIBROCH
VOICES.
Thou art stealing, stealing the heart of me, Pibroch; Wounding, wounding me
with the wild voice of thee; Voice of the mountain, voice of moorland and sea waste, Voice
of the Isles, captured and chained by macCrimmon.
Naure's voice heard by them,
chiefs among pipers: Caught and held fast by them, set here for ever, The sea-voice and
hill-voice and moor voice of Scotland, In the pibrochs of Skye on the pipes of MacCrimmon
Wound! Wound! How bitter are the stabs of thee, Deep, deep, to the heart of me, sword
of the Pibroch. Gathered are the tears in thee; all the sad years in thee: All the wounds
and the woes in the voice of MacCrimmon.
There's a new note in thee: is it of man
or fay ? Is it Gods voice in thee, crying to me, Pibroch ? Past all the pain of thee,
through the refrain of thee, Hope! the last strain on the pipes of MacCrimmon!

Sarah McCrimmon Friday, 02-Jul-99 17:59:31
I have traced my tree back to Sarah McCrimmon who was born in Glenelg about 1830/31. She married
a Donald Macrae from Kintail in about 1853 and after having a couple of children in Glenelg, they
moved to Croy in Invernessshire. I found references to the family in all the censuses upto 1881 but
haven't found out when/where Sarah died. I am descended through her daughter (also called Sarah).
Can anyone help me trace Sarah back further - I couldn't find anything in Parish or census records
that help.
I am looking forward to hearing from other McCrimmons or their descendents.

Linda,
I passed through Glenelg three weeks ago and made a note of a couple of
McCrimmon gravestones/memorial stones in the local church. A Sarah McCrimmon was mentioned and
details of her father (Archibald?) and possibly other family members. I have the information written
down but have been very busy and in the process of changing jobs - so the information isn't to hand
at the moment. I will dig it out for you but please feel free to remind me should I not be in touch
over the next week or so.

enjoyed all of our messages back and forth. If you are new to this message board....Please drop a

Hello!
I just started researching my family ancestry. My family name is McCrummen. I
do know I am connected to you some how. Many of the names I see on your links match some that show
up in the McCrummen line. I am new to this and would be very appreciative of any help any of you
could give me. I am proud of my family name and want to find out where we are from and where we
started.
Thank You!

Maccrimmon Piping Center Tuesday, 20-Apr-99 10:47:24
. I am writing to inform you that the Piping Centre (located at Boreraig on the Isle of Skye) is
no longer open.
As web master of the site http://www.cna-web.co.uk/MacCrimmon, I feel it
my duty to inform you that the centre has closed and the property is up for sale. Due to the remote
location and travel time to the Piping Centre, I would hate for people to turn up at the Centre and
find it closed.
So far the web site has been quite popular, therefore it will remain
operational but I shall be updating it to inform people of the closure of the centre.
Apologies
if this mail has caused you any inconvience.
Regards from Clare. (Edinburgh)

I am interested in the whereabouts of Hugh and Irene McCrimmon, who had a museum on Boraig, Isle
of Skye. They had a son, Ian, who was the piper for Dame Flora McLeod toward the end of her life.
Any info on the McCrimmons, who did live in Canada will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Melissa,
This cemetery is listed--usgenweb/archives/nc/hoke/cemeteries/mcleod.
This listting does not reflect the fact that it is also known as Tuckahoe. The McCrimmon family that
is you appear to be interested in is fairly well documented in "The Monroes of the Upper Cape

There is a book I came across a short while back whilst in Edinburgh called
"Carolina Scots" and it had lots of references to Mac/McCrimmons. Have you come
across this book? It might help in your search. I am back in Edinburgh later this year and
could track the book down for you but you could possibly do that through Amazon.com. Let
me know if I can help.

Does anyone know why it failed? I am up in skye this summer and was hoping to visit....
It is a nice thought that we McCrimmons could all chip in but I believe the problem is one of
keeping it going. Nevertheless I would be interested in knowing more about the Centre and how it was
set up and how its income generation matched the business plan.

McCrimmons in Georgia, USA Tuesday, 06-Apr-99 13:36:02
It is great to find a web page just for McCrimmon and MacCrimmon family. My mother's maiden name
was McCrimmon and her brother has been working extensively with tracing family roots. We were
originally Mac instead of Mc but are unsure when this changed. My 6 greats grandfather was Duncan
McCrimmom and he arrived in Georgia from Scotland in the 1700's. I do not know anything of his life
or family in Scotland. I don't even know how to begin. I'd like to know more because I'm planning a
trip to England and Scotland in the fall. I'd love to see family related sites!

researching the McCrimmons, who settled first in Montgomery County and later Telfair and Ben Hill
Counties in southeast Georgia. I would like to share information with you. They came to the area in
the very early 1800's and still have descendents living in the area today. Thank you very much.

Folklore. Thursday, 18-Mar-99 19:53:33
THE SILVER CHANTER.
There are many traditions associated with the MacCrimmon pipers,
the most famous of which concerns the Silver Chanter. It is said that the MacCrimmons proficiency
with the pipes and their appointment as heriditary pipers to the MacLeods was due to the possession
of a magic chanter aquired from a member of the Fairy World. One day Iain Og MacCrimmon, one of the
early members of the family, sat playing his pipes on a mound near his home at Borreraig. Iain was
sad because his piping was not skillful enough to gain entry to a competition being held by the
MacLeod chief at Dunvegan Castle. As he played, the green mound opened before him and out rose a
Fairy who asked Iain why he was so sad. On being told the reason, the fairy said " The
sweetness of your music has brought you a Fairy sweetheart, I give you this Silver Chanter, which,
at the touch of your fingers, will bring forth the sweetest music. " The Fairy gave to Iain a
beautiful Silver Chanter and with it, the art of Pibroch. Iain Og went immediately to Dunvegan and
was allowed to play before the Chief. The judges were astonished by Iain's piping and declared him
to be the best of the assembled musicians. The MacCrimmons were subsequently awarded the position of
hereditary pipers to the MacLeod Chiefs.
The Silver Chanter is also said to have been the
cause of the demise of the great MacCrimmon family. When the Fairy gave the Chanter to Iain Og, she
cautioned that if he or any other member of the family ever treated it with disrespect, the gift of
the Fairies would disappear forever. Centuries later, the Chief of the MacLeods was returning home
by boat from Raasay accompanied by one of Iain's descendants who occupied the traditional piper's
seat at the head of the galley. The crossing was rough and the swell on the tide made piping
difficult. As MacCrimmon tried to play, his fingers continually slipped from the chanter and
eventually he threw down the pipes and gave voice to his annoyance. The Silver Chanter immediately
detached itself from the pipes, rose up from the galley and then plunged into the sea where it
remains to this day. The charm was broken and in a short time the supremacy of the MacCrimmon
piper's declined and their College at Borreraig fell into decay.

Just wanted to say how excited I was to find this site. I am 26 and have just started to really
want to know about my last name and all the wonderful stories I hear about it. I am the daughter of
a surgeon in AL with 4 older brothers: Cyrus, Michael, Patrick and Kevin; and a younger sister,
Kelly. I've heard that we are Scottish and from others that we are Irish. I would love to hear from
someone who could clarify this for me. Also, one of my brothers did someone research on our name and
found some information that we were so violent that we were thrown off of Scotland. Has anyone else
heard this? We're known to have tempers, but I hope not to this severity...ha, ha!

want more information check out the Registry and email me if you want some help.

Re: McCrimmon Thursday, 29-Apr-99 15:55:37
Hi Shannon, My McCrimmon ancestors lived on the mainland near Glenelg; just down the road
from that village is one of the ferry routes to Skye. McCrimmons lived on Skye and near Skye, as
well as on Lewis and Harris. Not many are there, now, however. My own ancestors left Scotland
because the Laird who owned the land they lived on, had to sell it because of back taxes and the new
owner wanted to run sheep on the land. I saw where the Laird once lived. Many Scottish people came
to America in the late 1700's, expecially to North Carolina. Still others came to Canada in the
early 1800's and settled in eastern Ontario. Many of those who came to Canada moved to Michigan or
moved west in Canada. The McCrimmons were a sept of the Clan McLeod, that means they were under the
protection of the McLeod and served the Chief of that Clan if called upon to do so, especially in
wartime. Good luck with your research.

McCrimmon History Saturday, 13-Feb-99 23:00:38
To anyone else bearing the MacCrimmon title: The book, The MacCrimmon Family, was written by
George Poulter, a dedicated student of MacCrimmon history prior to WWII. Malcolm MacCrimmon, a
piper in the Calgary Highlanders, met George Poulter while in London during the war. Malcolm knew of
his famous ancestors and had proven the link between himself and Donald Ruadh, (the last of the
famous line who taught their music at Borreraig on Skye). On leave one weekend, young MacCrimmon
went to Dunvegan and met Dame Flora who re-established the link by appointing Malcolm as the 9th
Hereditary Piper to the MacLeod of MacLeod. Malcolm was the only highlander during WWII to be
transferred from a Canadian regiment to a British Regiment….the famed Scot's Guards. He was also
accorded the singular privilege of wearing his MacLeod ribbons along with the Royal Stewart ribbons
on his pipes. Malcolm married Mairi Chisholm from Gravir on the Isle of Lewis and returned to
raise a family in western Canada. Padruig, Iain and Flora are his children. Iain took up the pipes
and distinguished himself as the first published composer of pipe music in Canada. His books 1,2,3
& 4 are available in better music bookstores. In the late 1970's, Iain was appointed as
10th hereditary piper by Chief John MacLeod of MacLeod while John was touring western Canada. In the
late 1980's, Iain along with his wife Charlotte, daughter Katie and son Calum moved to a small town
of Monifeith, just a few miles east of Dundee. Young Calum is already making his mark in the piping
world…. and will undoubtedly follow in his father's footsteps. Malcolm resides in the
Highlands district of Edmonton, Alberta Canada and has made the MacCrimmon genealogy his life's
work. He has printed a beautifully illuminated MacCrimmon family tree to commemorate his
forefathers. --Written by Rod McLeod, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Re: Clan MacCrimmon Book Sunday, 30-Apr-00

Sounds like you have a great resource. My family has been traced to a Malcolm McCrimmon who was
born in Scotland (presumably Skye or thereabouts) in 1742 and came to Moore County, NC in 1780's.
(his grandson changed the name to McCrummen because he was told that was the way they were spelling
it in Scotland, but he continued to pronounce it McCrimmon). I know that Malcolm was a common name
for the clan, but I wonder if the book mentions any Malcolm McCrimmon in Scotland born about that
time? Thanks for any info.

Catching up on the MacCrimmon Piping Heritage Saturday, 09-Jan-99
06:21:41
I have just come across a CDROM for both PC and MAC called "The Great Highland Bagpipe"
which has quite a bit of useful information on about the MacCrimmons and their role in developing
the music of the Highland bagpipe (over 30 pages worth of information on the MacCrimmons with some
potentially useful references for budding genealogists) but lots on other piping families also.
If you are a MacCrimmon then you should take time to explore the bagpipe....I'm putting a web page
together to share what I know of the subject which I hope to uplaod fairly soon to the Registry.
Details of the CDROM can be found at www.scotdisk.co.uk
