Beside the County Road about three-fourth's of mile eastward from the Bridge, is a Cairn built of loose stones, to Commemorate the death of Roderick MacKenzie, who was killed here during the Rebellion in 1745. The following facts relating to the above, are taken from "Browne's History of the Highlands." "Among other persons who had joined Charles at Edinburgh, there was a young man of respectable Family named Roderick Mackenzie. He had served as one of the prince's life-guards. Being about the same age as Charles tall and somewhat slender, like the prince, and with features resembling, in some degree those of Charles, he might with ordinary observers who had not been accustomed to see them together have passed off for the prince. As he could not venture with safety to Edinburgh, where he had two maiden Sisters residing, he fled to the Highlands after the Battle of Culloden, and, while skulking among the hills of Glenmoriston, was surprised by a party of Soldiers about the middle of July. McKenzie endeavoured to escape; but being overtaken he turned round upon his pursuers, and drawing his sword, bravely defended himself, He was shot by one of the Soldiers, and as he fell, he exclaimed, "You have killed your prince! You have killed your prince! and immediately expired, overjoyed at their supposed good fortune they hurried to Fort-Augustus with their prize. The Duke convinced that he had got the head of his relative, had it, is said, packed up and ordering a post-chaise went off to London, carrying, the head along with him shortly after his arrival, however, the deception which had been of essential service to Charles was discovered." |

Extracts from New Statistical Account
United Parishes of Urquhart and Glenmoriston
Anciently, the parish of Glenmoriston was united to that
of Abertarff, and it is believed that it was when the latter
was connected with Boleskine that the former was joined
to Urquhart. Since the suppression of Popery, the two parishes
have had but one minister, the glebe and parish church being
situated at Kilmore, on the margin of the Bay of Urquhart.
Glen Urquhart and Glenmoriston, which are the only trans-
verse valleys branching off from the north side of Loch Ness.
These glens, proceeding in a south west and nearly par-
allel direction, are respectively about 9 and 12 miles long,
and are separated by high heathy hills, which terminate
immediately above Loch Ness, in the great round backed
mountain of Maulfuarmhonvie, or Mealfuarvonie,
(literally, the height or hump of the cold moor), whose domed
shaped summit attains an elevation of 3200 feet; while, in
the opposite direction, these valleys usher us to the plain of
Corrymony and the ridges overhanging Strathglass on
the one hand, and on the other the great moorland or table
ground which stretches around Loch Cluany and the
bases of the peaked mountains of Kintail.
At the base of the upper acclivity of Mealfaurvonie,
which is perpendicular on the north and south sides,
nearly so on the west, and connected by a long tapering
ridge with the rest of the mountain on the east, a small
Circular Lake exists which was once thought to be un-
fathomable, but which has now been found compar-
itively shallow. From it western extremity it discharges
a small streamlet called Aultsigh or "The Resting Burn",
which, tumbling down along a rocky channel at the base
of one of the grandest frontlets of Rock in the Highlands,
nearly 1500 feet high, empties itself into Loch Ness
within 3 miles of Invermoriston. This burn constitutes
the boundary between Urquhart and Glenmoriston; [Continued on Page 84b]

and, displaying near its mouth an unusually beautiful
Waterfall, and another equally fine one about 2 miles
farther up, shaded with foliage of the richest dye.
On the summit of the hill to the west of the burn, there is
a Rocking-stone, which two persons can move, about
20 feet in circumference. This burn's parent lake is
also supposed occasionally when swollen to send off
a streamlet towards the north; or, at least, the hollow or deep
ravine which collects infant waters of the Coiltie,
which flows along the southern margin of the vale of Urquhart,
begins very near the northern extremity of this loch.
A tributary of this water called the Divach, amid
beautiful and dense groves of birch, displays a waterfall
as high and Picturesque as that of Foyers; and near the
source of the Enneric river, which flows from
Corrymony into the Hill basin of Loch Meikly, another
smaller, though highly picturesque cascade, called the Fall of
Moral, is to be seen. Near it is a Cave capable of re-
ceiving 16 or 20 persons, in which several of the prin-
cipal gentlemen of the district for a time concealed
themselves from the Hanoverian soldiers after the
Rebellion of 1745. The Falls of Divach are seldom
supplied with a sufficientcy of water to give them that
decided grandeur which they possess when the river is
in Speat. The burn which falls from Aberiachan on
the confines of the parish of Inverness, displays a succession
of beautiful perpendicular falls and running cataracts and
that of Aultguish , (or the Fir-tree burn,) in the forest of
Ruisky, eastward of Aultsigh, presents a continuous
cataract, which, from the lake below, looks like a long white ribbon
streaking the mountain side, and part of which consists of
a single leap at least 100 feet high.
Beneath, in the glen itself, and along both sides of the
river Moriston, stratified gneiss prevails; but [Continued on Page 84c]

at the eastern boundary of Urquhart, on the confines of
the parish of Inverness, another large deposit of whiteish
granite occurs which constitute several of the hills en-
circling the Moss of Caiplich, and is connected
with the red granites of Dochfour and Aberiachan.
From behind the farm of Polmailly in Glen Urquhart
a formation of unstratified Serpentine rock, proceeds in
a north west direction, constituting 3 prominent summits,
with several subordinate ridges, and extending 2 1/2
or 3 miles in length, and about 1 mile or 1 1/2 in breadth.
The waters appear to have encountered 3 principal
barriers; one now opening into Loch Ness at the mouth
of the valley, one stretching across from Craigmony a little
to the west of Drumnadrochit, and one at or above
Dalshangy, where the separation between the upper and
lower valleys are still visible.
Perched on the western promontory of Urquart
bay stands the Castle of Urquhart, it overhangs
Loch Ness, and is built on a detached rock, separated
from the adjoining hill, at the base of which it lies, by a
moat about 25 feet deep, and 16 broad. The rock is
crowned by the remains of a high wall, or curtain surrounding
the buildings, the principal of which, a strong square Keep
of three storeys is still standing, surrounded by 4 square
hanging turrets. This outward wall encloses a spacious
area, and is in some places terraced; and in the angles were
platforms for the convenience of the defending soldierly
The entrance was by a spacious gateway, between
two guard rooms, projected beyond the general line
of the walls, and was guarded by more than one
massive portal and a hugh portcullis. These entrance
towers are much in the style of architecture peculiar
to the castles of Edward 1. of England; and in front
of them lay the Drawbridge across the outer Moat.

The first siege Urquhart Castle is known to have
sustained was in the year 1303, when it was taken
by the officers of Edward I.
On the brow of the hill fronting Loch Ness, and near
the hamlet of Bunloit, there is a small vitrified fort
called Dunscriben which communicated with
similar signal stations at the east end and centre of
the great Caledonian Valley; and about 2 miles west
of the castle in Glen Urquhart rises a very prominent
rocky hill, styled Craigmoni, which was partly encircled
on the summit with rude walls of stone, and on which
tradition says the ancient beacon fires were lighted,
besides it being used as the gallows Hill of the old
castle. In Argyleshire, a tradition prevails that a Danish
or Norwegian Prince of the name of Moni having landed
in the district of Crinan (still known as the pass of Moni)
and laid waste the country, was afterwards attacked by
the native inhabitants, who routed his troops, and pursued
him and a few of his followers, who with difficulty re-
gained their ships, and fled northward towards
Lochaber. Having reached Craigmoni, and established
himself in the adjoining valley still called Dalmoni, this
son of the King of Lochlin or Norway, as he is styled in the
country, seems afterwards to have been driven farther
up into the country, and to have perished at Corrymony
or Coiramhoni, the Valley of Moni, where his grave
(Uai Mhoni) is still to be seen.
The beautifully exposed and fine sloping grounds on the
east side of the bay of Urquhart were early brought into
cultivation, and belonged to the order of Knights Templars,
or the Knights of St. [Saint] John of Jerusalem, some of whom
were probably constables of the adjoining king's castle,
and founders of a small religious house which
stood on the point still called Temple, on the farm of
Saint Ninians. [Continued on Page 84e]

The public burying places in this parish were
probably formed round the shrines of Saints or Ancient
Chapels; and in Urquart there is one at Kilmore,
the great burying ground, within which the present parish
church stands; One at Cill-Santninian, near Temple;
one at Cillmhichael, a short distance west of Drum-
nadrochit; and another in the height of the country at
Corrymony, called Claodh Churidan, the burial place of
Curidan. In Glenmoriston, the sequestered and
picturesquely lying burial place called Clachan an
Inair, that is the burying ground of the lower district, is
situated at the mouth of the valley, and another higher up
is denominated in honour of and old saint, Clachan
Merechard, the word clachan literally a stone, being
the distinctive appellation for a fane or church. Numerous
Sepulchral Cairns and Circles of upright stones
or ancient Pagan temples exist in the district, but none
so large as to merit a particular description.
It may be added, that the burn of Aultsigh was, in
the early part of the 17th Century, the scene of a conflict,
which is one of the most memorable connected with
the parish, betwixt a party of the Macdonalds of Glen-
garry, and the Mackenzies of Ross-shire.
This has been commemorated in a celebrated pibroch
called "the Raid of Cill-Christ" said to have been
composed by the Glengarry piper during the conflagration
of the Church which occasioned the conflict

The parish church stands in the lower part of the Valley
of Urquhart, within about half a mile of Loch Ness, was
built in 1630, and although repaired in 1814, is in so
dilapidated a state, that it will be necessary to make
immediate application for a new and larger building.
The Minister officiates here two Sundays out of three, and
the third at Miklie, where a commodious Chapel
was built about 6 years ago. There is a missionary Minister
settled at Glenmoriston by the Committee for managing
the Royal Bounty, who preaches alternately at Inver-
moriston and in the upper part of the glen, at each of which
Stations there is a Meeting-house
There are three parochial schools within the parish -
one within half a mile of the parish church, to which is
allotted the half of the maximum salary allowed to School-
masters, one at Miklie, in the Braes of Glen Urquhart
and the third at Invermoriston, - the other half of the
salary being equally divided between the teachers of the
two latter.

Extracts from a Survey of the Province of Moray dated 1798
Parish of Urquhart
By the lofty mountain of Mhalfourvonnie, [Mhalfourvonnie, the
Parish is divided into two districts, Urquhart upon its
northern, and Glenmoriston upon its southern side;
and they may be conceived as Valleys stretching nearly
parallel, towards the west, from the margin of Loughness
The mountain of Mhalfourvonnie, signifying in Gaelic
"a cold wart, or excrescence of a hill." Upon the western side
at the bottom of the peak, is a small lake, its surface is about
4 acres: it is supported by springs, and the rains which
drift pretty frequent around the sides of the peak. The trout
are in such numbers as to have distinguished this little
lake by their own Gaelic characteristic, namely the
lake of the red-bellied trout.
The valley of Glenmoriston opens at the distance of about ten
miles from the influx of the river Urquhart: the road
between winds over the declivities in the precipitous
face of Mhalfourvonnie and is carried over the stream
of Altktkenis upon an ancient arch, named Trochet-
na-Crekil-Renish, the bridge of the wooded rocks.
Glenmoriston itself, signifying the great valley of the deep
cascade, opens on the lake between the fronts of two lofty
cliffs, reared up in gloomy grandeur: the one is called
Craig-Kinian, the giant's rock; the other a sable peak
projecting over the lake, is denominated Struan-Muich,
the promontory of the boar. The road is continued to Fort
Augustus, across the river of Moriston, by an elegant
light bridge of two arches, meeting on the great rock in the
middle of the stream, with a pretty cascade in each of its channels.
Although the river has its origen far distant in Glensheal,
forming in its progress the long winding lake of Clunie
yet the volume of water is not so large as that which
forms the fall of Kilmorack.
