Celts -- Scotland; Civilization, Celtic; Scotland -- Antiquities, Celtic; Scotland -- History -- To 1603
proved to us by his corporal oath sworn on the holy evangels of God. The
earl’s seal and the seal of Finlay Toschach are appended, at Dunkeld,
the last day of May 1502, and these charters are confirmed by a charter
under the Great Seal on 2d July 1502, of the thanage, with the bondmen,
bondages, native-men and their issue.[385] According to this charter the
thanage contained seventeen townships, including the two tenandries of
Achnamarkmore and Kincraigy, giving an average of about the sixth part
of a davach to each township; and we here see the family, which
originally descended from that of the Isles, adopting the name of
Toschach, from their designation of Thane. From them no doubt proceeded
the M‘Intoshes of Tiriny in Glentilt, which is included among the lands
of the thanage.[386] We find mention of two other thanages in Atholl,
but it is not very clear whether they were held under the earl, or under
the bishop of Dunkeld. King William the Lion confirms to the church and
canons of Scone a grant made to them by Malcolm, earl of Atholl, of the
church of Loginmahedd, now Logierait, with its chapels of Kilchemi,
Dunfolenthi, Kelkassin, and Kelmichelde Tulimath, and with all its other
lawful pertinents; but John, bishop of Dunkeld, grants and confirms to
the abbots and canons of Sconie the church of Logymahedd, in Atholl,
with the full tithes, benefices, and rights lawfully pertaining to said
church, viz., of Rath, which is the chief seat of the earldom (_caput
comitatus_), and of the whole thanage of Dulmonych, and of the whole
thanage of Fandufuith, and with these chapels, Kylkemy, Dunfoluntyn,
Kilcassyn, Kilmichell of Tulichmat, and all pertinents of said chapels,
and a toft in Logyn, with common pasture, as is contained in a charter
of Earl Henry.[387] The _Rath_ or fort is still visible on a height
between the two rivers at the junction of the Tay and the Tummel, and
the modern names of the places where the four chapels were situated are
Killichangie, Dunfallandy, Killichassy, and Tullimet, and they are all
within the parish of Logierait, but the two thanages seem not to have
been included in Earl Malcolm’s charter, and are situated within the
territory termed the bishopric of Dunkeld, now the parish of Little
Dunkeld, for Fandufuith is now Fandowie in Strathbraan, and Dalmonych is
probably Dalmarnoch, on the south bank of the Tay, in the same parish.
We have no other notice of these thanages.
