Custom Of Fosterage

Source

There was another powerful tie between chiefs, chieftains, and the commonalty — the custom of fosterage. It was an ordinary habit if a chief had a large family of sons to send them to be reared in the family of one of these cadets, or tacksmen, and the same habit was commonly practised in the family of the tacksmen, sending one of its sons to be reared in the family of a respectable clansman. The family so honoured by chief or tacksman was ever after bound in mutual affection and brotherhood. Foster-brotherhood was a bond that in many cases proved stronger than the natural. Many a foster-brother sacrificed his life to save his superior. The gallant old chief of the Cameron Clan, Sir Ewen, at the battle of Killiecrankie, owed his life to his foster-brother's quick eye in observing a deadly blow aimed at his chief in the tumult and confusion of the attack. He stepped in front of him and received several mortal wounds. [Source]

Donald Cameron, Tenant Of Kinlochiel

Donald Cameron, tenant of Kinlochiel, was then adduced, aged seventy-five, and showed minute knowledge of Glenkingie and its sheilings from 1775 downwards.

Glen Kingie, Highland, Scotland

He also spoke of the festivities consequent on the restoration of the Lochiel Estates, in 1785, in these terms — There was great rejoicing in the country, and plenty of bonfires and drinking. Perhaps the most interesting part falling under Cameron's examination occurred when Lochiel's Agent put the following question : —

Whether it consists with the knowledge of the witness that, from the year 1775 down to 1820, the tenants of the farms on the north side of Loch Arkaig, and of Shanvall and Glackfearn in Glendessary, had the quiet and peaceable possession of their respective farms and sheilings, as above enumerated, and as parts and portions of the estate of Lochiel, and without any molestation whatever, either during the time that the estate was under the management of His Majesty's Commissioners or
since. [Source]
