This parish is in the county and presbytery of Inverness, and in the Synod of Moray. Bona and Inverness were separate parishes prior to 1618, since which time they have continued united. The parish is extensive, containing 26761 acres, while its length from north-east to south-west is 14 miles, and its average breadth 2½; the shape being very incompact. The Beauly and Moray Firths bound it on the north; the parishes of Kirkhill, Kiltarlity, and Urquhart on the west; Loch ness and the parish of Dores on the south west; Daviot, and Croy & Dalcross (detached) on the south-east; and Petty on the east. Glen Albyn runs right through it; proceeding by Loch Ness to the Moray Firth at the town of Inverness; the glen being narrow, and the sides very steep, up to within 4 miles of the town, where the eastern side fades away into the general level of the parish, while the western still continues bold, embracing the prominent features Creag Liath, Dunean Hill and Craig Phadrig. The land is mostly cultivated; and is a good loamy soil; through which is interspersed a good deal of fine wood, which add a beauty to the landscape. The Highland Railway runs through the parish, close to the sea shore, and steamers ply on [continued on page 2] |

In 1861 the population of the parish (including the burgh of Inverness) was, according to the official returns, 16162, against 16496 in 1851 - a decrease of 334 - but the introduction of the railway has made a considerable increase since that, as well as a general improvement in the town and parish. There is no detached portion of this parish in any other, nor is there a detached portion of any other parish in this. |

The following description is copied from Fullarton's Gazetteer Vol. 2 pages 389 & 390.
Moray Frith, a gulf in the extreme north east of Scotland; a sea rather than a bay or an estuary; the largest projection and at the same time one of the most regular, which the ocean makes into the Scottish coasts. Loosely defined, but with reference chiefly to its interior waters, it is the Estuarium Vararis of ancient geographer. Its limits as assigned by the modern geography of the country, are somewhat various, and not very distinctly understood; but, on the whole, they distribute into two easily ascertained parts, an exterior and an interior. The exterior Frith comprehends all the open sea south west of a line between "Dunscansby head in Caithness-shire, and Kinnaird's head in Aberdeenshire, onward to the inner frith between Tarbetness in Ross-shire, and Burgh-head in Morayshire. It blends with the German Ocean on the north west, and, along the artificial line of connexion with it, measures nearly 80 miles; it has the counties of Caithness, Ross, and Cromarty on the west, and measures on that side about 70 miles; and it has Morayshire, Banffshire, and Aberdeenshire on the south; and measures on that coast about 57 miles. Except at an opening on its west side, immediately north of Tarbetness, where it sends off the Dornoch Firth, and at a smaller opening on the same side 8 miles south of Duncansby head, where it expands into Keiss or Sinclair bay, it has a singularly uniform coast line, sufficiently diversified with gentle curvatures to be freed from monotony, but uncut by deep incisions, and every where marked with only tiny bays and small headlands. The principal rivers which enter it on the west are the Wick, the Berriedale, the Helmsdale, and the Brora; and on the south are the Findhorn, the Lossie, the Spey, and the Doveran. All the coasts of the Frith, from Wick to Kinnaird's head, are rich and have become industriously plied in their fisheries; and, in particular, they yield an immense quantity of herrings. _ The interior Moray Frith where it opens from the exterior between Tarbetness and Burgh-head, is about 16 miles wide. It thence projects south westward to [continued on page 4] |

[continued from page 3] Ardersier of Fort George, 24 miles along the coast of Ross and Cromarty, and 22 along that of the Moray, Nairn and Inverness. Fifteen miles south west of Tarbetness, between the north and the south Sutors of Cromarty, which rise like the sides of a huge gateway to admit its ingress, it projects the Cromarty Frith between Ross and Cromarty From its entrance to Ardersier, it gradually contracts, till, over a distance of 2 miles, it is only 1 to 1½ mile broad. After passing Ardersier, it suddenly expands, and thence to Kessock Ferry at the mouth of the river Ness, a distance of 9 miles, it has a mean breadth of about 3 miles; but there it suffers rapid though brief contraction to about half a mile, and, by a caprice in topographical nomenclature, loses its name, and is declared to terminate. A continuation of it 7 miles westward, by an extreme breadth of 2 miles is called the frith or Loch of Beauly. The interior Moray Frith, except in its outer skirts, presents quite a contrast to the exterior frith as to at once the wealth, the abundance, and the variety of its fisheries; and though possessing along its coasts, some regular communities of fishermen, affords them such small employment, that they generally resort to the fishing grounds north of Tarbetness. |

Mr. Dallas, Town Clerk |

This monument stands on the rocky face of a hill, close to the village of Clachnaharry and has been erected, by the late Mr. R. Duff Esqr. proprietor of Muirtown, to mark the site of a severe conflict which took place A.D. 1454 between the clans Chattan (Mackintosh) and Munro. It consists of a square pillar, on a similar pedestal, on the top of which is a miniature circular pillar, bearing a gilt figure of Mercury, in the act of blowing a trumpet; possibly in allusion to the watchman's stone (Clach na h-Aire), where a man used to be stationed to sound an alarm on the approach of invaders from Ross-shire. The whole is surrounded by a small circular wall bearing posts and an appropriate iron railing.
The north side of the pedestal has cut on it (REGNANTE JACOBO IInd).
The south side of the pedestal has cut on it HAS INTERUPES OSSA CONDUNTUR.
The west side of the pedestal has cut on it MUNRO
The east side of the pedestal has cut on it CLAN CHATTAN.
The north side of the capital has "1454" cut on it, and the south side "H.R.D. POSUIT 1821".
I have had a good deal of trouble in arriving at the proper date of this conflict as the various accounts, though bearing a general agreement differs very much in some points - the best is that given in the papers of the Mackintosh |

[continued from page 5] family, which are still in the manuscript. It appears that John Munro, tutor of Fowlis in travelling homewards to Ross, from the south of Scotland, rested in Strathardale between Perth and Athole, where he was illtreated by the inhabitants, and insulted by their cutting off the tails of his horses while he was asleep - In order to be revenged he, on arriving at home, assembled his kinsmen and followers, and made an inroad, with about 350 men into Strathardale, where he wasted the country, killed some of the people, and carried off their cattle - on his journey homeward, in passing Moy Castle, he was met by Gilliecullum, grandson of The Mackintosh, and a youth who demanded the customary strike chreich or road callop for allowing the booty to pass over his land. A few of the beasts were tendered but he would not take less than one half. This Munro would not accede to but pushed on sending fifty of his men on with the cattle to Ferrindonald while the rest followed to the rear to resist any attack. Young Mackintosh sent hasty orders for his clan to assemble and overtake them which they did at Clach na h-Aire - a mile and a half past Inverness, where ensued a very severe fight, the most of them being slain on either side. It appears that the leader of the Mackintoshes was slain, and John Munro was left as dead on the field, but was taken by Lord Lovat to his lordship's house and there cured of his wounds. He was afterwards called John Bacclaivigh from the circumstances of losing one of his hands in the fight.
The first published records of it is that given in a "Generalised History of the Earldom of Sutherland" published in 1639. This book records the different events connected with the family in the order in which they occurred; and it does not mention any precise date for the fight, yet, according to the date could not be 1454, but about 1333; for, after mentioning that the Earl of Ross was slain in the battle of Haliedonn hill, in 1333, it adds - "and with him was killed the Laird of Fowlls, surnamed Munroe, whose second brother, John Munroe, purchased the ward of the lands of Fowlls" ... "This John Munro, tutor of Fowlls, travelling homeward on his journey from the south of Scotland towards Rosse, did repose himself by the way in Srathardale" & giving a full account of the fight. Of course this John Munroe if alive in 1333, or about there, could not have led a fight in 1454. The notice in the Statistical Account is evidently complied from this old book and adopts the date 1333. "Pennant's Scotland (Vol 1 P.209) mentions it as 1341, but also mentions the head of the Clan chattan as "the Mackintosh of 1454" - the date on the stone - which looks like a typographical error. But there are other facts recorded in the Mackintosh Papers which go to prove the connection of the account given there as well as the date - 1454 - which the assign to it. These papers state that the young Malcom Mackintosh (Gilliecullum) who was the cause of the fight "came not at that till all was over" and, as a means of reconciliation, married, a few years afterwards, Janet Munro sister of John who led the opposite party. All the other accounts - evidently copying from the "History of the Earldom of Sutherland" stated that he who killed or rather - that "The Mackintosh" was killed there - for, throughout, they wholly ignore the grandson and ascribe all to "The Mackintosh" - head of the clan - who had nothing at all to do with it; was a very old man at the time, having had to abandon the charge of Inverness Castle in 1452 from old age, and who died in 1457. From all this it is evident that the date 1454 is as given in the Mackintosh Papers. These "papers" are in manuscript, and are styled "The genealogy of the family of Mackintosh from their original until the year 1600. They were compiled about 1680 by Mackenzie, then of Applecross, from the various records written by the family as then several events occurred, and are in the possession of Eneas.
*Mackintosh Esqr. of Daviot. The copy which I have consulted - the only one made - is possessed by C. Fraser Mackintosh Esqr. of Drummond, that gentleman having kindly placed it at my service. |

The ancient building possessed a keep or tower, and the Dovecot is still in good state, though part of the old structure. Inshes was formerly a Barony, and the estate was divided in the 14th Century, one part of it forming the present estate of Castlehill. |

The site of this chapel has been pointed out by P. Grant Esq. It is in the garden attached to his house, (Kinmylies) and in trenching this, the workmen came upon thick walls; not, evidently, those of a common building, round which were large quantities of human bones, evidently betokening the former existence of a burial place. Ancient charters are also said to exist bearing evidence to the fact. The dedicatory name cannot be obtained, but there is no doubt that it existed before the Reformation, although the precise date of its creation cannot be discovered. At present there is not the least trace of it. |

This is one of those very ancient vitrified forts erected - no one knows exactly when - by the aborigenes of the country. It crowns the hill of Craig Phadrig and is in a very good state of preservation. The shape is oval, the centre being a piece of table land about 70 by 30 yards, surrounded by a rampart composed of vitrified stones covered with earth. Outside of this also appear, for a short way, the traces of another rampart, about 25 to 30 yards distant, and which is also vitrified. The entrance to the fort still distinctly traceable on the north side.The fort is generally considered to have formed one of a numerous chain of beacon stations for which it was well adapted and hence, perhaps, its vitrification.

This is a large, irregular boulder, about twelve feet across each way and six feet high, which lies in Culloden Wood, nearly a mile south of Culloden House. The tradition in the neighbourhood respecting the event which makes this stone interesting, is the following. Seventeen of Prince Charles' party were taken, wounded, at the close of the battle of Culloden and confined in the dungeon of Culloden House; kept there for three days, and then put into two carts and conveyed to this stone; against which they were placed and shot, at point blank distance. The soldiers then clubbed their muskets and smashed the heads of those they had shot, in order to make sure work; but, strange to say, one man, named Fraser survived and managed to crawl away and escape. This is the account given by the present proprietors, who received this information from Alexander Bain Sage, who died a few years ago at Smithtown village, and was the son of one of the men who carted the prisoners of to the stones. The event, he stated was vividly impressed on his father's memory, and he often spoke about it. The account, however, differs in some few points from those given in Bishop Forbes' Culloden Papers.

individuals, which is the cause of several discrepancies. In the first case the number of men or officers (they are generally mentioned as the latter) is variously stated as 12, 14, 16, or 17, 18, and 19 - and, in these accounts, where the spot is mentioned, they state that the prisoners were placed up against the park wall - certainly a more likely object than this stone for the purpose and quite convenient; but, as the exact part of the wall is not mentioned, it may be as well to write the remark to the stone, and, add the word "near". These accounts also differ as to the day being Friday or Saturday, and also state that the prisoners were confined in byres, grieves-house, and offices - but do not mention the dungeon. Perhaps, however, the account given by the proprietor, coming, as it does, from a man who was there at the time, is more to be relied upon than those other conflicting accounts in Bishop Forbes' works - although some of these are certainly very precise - although evidently written from hearsay.

004 |
This fine mansion is situated about 4 miles from Inverness, in the centre of a fine estate; and consists of a central square block - 3 storeys high - on each side of which is a smaller detached block, connected by a court yard, the three forming a very imposing front.
The ancient residence for the estate was at Balmore (the Big Town) near Stratton Lodge - but, more than three centuries ago, it was removed to the present site. In1781-2 this was also demolished and the present edifice raised on its base, the lower part of the building being retained intact, and which is a series of arches forming vaults; in one of which vaults, styled "The Dungeon", 17 of Prince Chalie's party were confined, after the battle of Culloden, for three days, and then conveyed away in carts and shot. The building was at one time encompassed with a ditch and protected by cannon - the embrasures for which still remain.
Culloden House is of considerable historical importance from the fact of its having been the residence of Lord President Forbes, who was so instrumental in suppressing the Rebellion of 1745, as well as being the headquarters of the Highland Army for the three days preceding their last and fatal battle on Culloden Muir - the Lord President having fled, The field of battle, however, lies wholly out of this Parish. The bed in which Prince Charles slept in still carefully preserved in the house, as well as several objects of curiosity which have been picked up on the battlefield. In the lawn, fronting the mansion, stands the withered trunk of a fine old tree, covered with ivy. In 1715, during an attack by the Lovat party, a man was killed by a bough of this tree which was knocked off by a cannon ball fired from Culloden House. A little further on stands the "Brangas Tree" - a relic of feudal times - and for which seeparticular description. There is a fine deep well, within the house, in the vault next the dungeon.

This is an old military road made about a century ago by General Caulfield, who was then governor of Fort George, and constructed with a view to connect that garrison with Inverness and the lowlands. It commences at the turnpike road from Inverness to Nairn, about 3½ miles from the former town, and proceeds, through Resaurie and by Cradlehall, until it joins the road to Culloden Moor, where it catches another old military road. It is at present a good "Statute-Labor" road, and of course repaird by the county. |

A good carriage drive runs through it, and along it are placed the butts of the Rifle Range of the of the Inverness Colunteers, as well as a Battery of 4 guns (with the necessary magazine) for the use of the volunteer artillery. The prevalent notion here is that the name is derived from the circumstance of a very long man having been cast on the shore and buried here. No person can, however, tell when this occurred nor where he was interred - Evidently the name has originated the tale. Those who ought to know best say that the name comes from the Gaelic Long = Ship and min = flat which seems very reasonable when the flat character of the ground is considered, and the fact that in former times, vessels used to lie here. |

This name is applied to a sprout of water, by the roadside near the village of Clachnaharry; the water being conducted across the railway from a spring on the other side among the rocks. The name is Gaelic and means The Kitten, and is said to have originated from the circumstance of a small public-house having once been kept here bearing this name - When however the license was withdrawn, the sale of whiskey did not cease, but the name became transferred to the spring of water, so that the highlanders could still speak of going to drink at "Pusag"; though, as heretofore, they more often imbibed the strong waters kept at the old dram shop in preference to the clear, free gift of Dame Nature. It is the chief supply of water to the village and is very copious. |

A long gravelly tree covered birch wood The following is taken from the New Stat. [Statistical] Acct.

Part of this ridge is encircled with ditches and ramparts as if it formed an ancient hill-fort, and at its base, along which the Caledonian Canal has been carried, a massive silver chain was discovered in the year 1808, consisting of 33 circular double links, neatly channelled round with a prominent astragal, and terminating at either end in two rings larger that the others, and were about two inches in diameter, the whole weighing 104 ounces, and extending to 19 inches in length. |
