• Notes

  1 - Following the 1745 Jacobite rebellion, the lands of the Duke of Perth, including the Barony of Callander, were annexed to the Crown. Subsequently the various farms of the Barony were divided up, and a Surveyor's Report of 1774 mentions that they had formerly been cultivated on a 'runrig' basis, particularly on the farms of «b»Clash,«/b» Ballivichlachlan and Greenock. 'These the surveyor......has laid off in a regular manner in 14 divisions and which at present goes under the name of the 14 Lots of Callander; adjacent to these farms was a Muir which was pastured in common by them and the farms of Gartehonzie and West Mains.' These divisions have long since disappeared, through amalgamation, and the current pattern has reverted to The Mollands (formerly Lot 1), the much expanded «b»Clash«/b» (formerly Lot 3), Balvalachlan (formerly Lot 9) and the Braes of Greenock (formerly Lot 11), leaving a small portion of Lot 7 to the current 'The Lots' and similarly a portion of Lot 14 to Cockhill Cottage. The collective name 'Lots of Callander' now appears on the Ordnance Survey maps as referring only to the ex-farmhouse of Lot 7. In earlier days, Balvalachlan was known as 'Boglots'. [http://www.callanderheritage.co.uk/] 2 - "The first Macfarlane recorded in Callander, was factor ("Tackman" to the Duke of Perth) in the early 1700s. He stayed in in the original part of what is now the Roman Camp Hotel. After the Rising in 1746 by Prince Charles Edward (The Young Pretender) was defeated, the Duke was banished to the West Indies and his estates forfeited to the Crown. The running of the estates was taken over by government commissioners, (i.e. Roman Camp Charters).The Macfarlan (sic) was ousted by the Crown commissioners as he was known to sympathise with the Jacobite cause. [notes from family historian Archie Macfarlane in Callander] 3 - Hearth Tax 1694 [for Callander] Figures are number of hearths«u»«b» «/b»Earl of Perths interests:«/u» Jon & Duncan M' Farlands 3 [This is probably the Roman Camp Hotel which was originally the Earl of Perth's Hunting Lodge. If Archie's research is correct it would indicate that this Duncan was descended from either the John or Duncan shown in the hearth tax return.] 4 - Connection to John the Jacobite rebel extremely tentative but his participation would certainly have been sufficient to have him dismissed as factor after the '45, & his name tallys with that of one of the Duke of Perths hunting lodge occupants at the 1694 hearth tax survey.-Ed.
