PREFACE.

In presenting this Genealogy to the descendants

of the Kincardineshire Branch of the Nicol family, I

have to thank many members for their kind help in

correcting the printed draft lately circulated.

My thanks are specially due to the Rev. James

Smith, B.D., of St. George's-in-the-West Parish,

Aberdeen, for his diligent searchings of old Registers

in Edinburgh, etc., and for his most kind and

ungrudging help.

With regard to the more ancient history I have

been assisted by Skene's book, " The Highlanders of

Scotland," published in 1837. This publication was

awarded the prize offered by the Highland Society of

London for the best History of the Highland Clans.

Much of Skene's information was derived from MSS.the property of the Faculty of Advocates, Edinburgh,

and in particular the MS. believed to have been

written in 1450, and which has the date upon it—1467.

As errors may have crept in, I should be greatly

obliged by their being pointed out to me. Should any

new matters of interest in connection with the family

be discovered, it is probable that a further addition of

this Genealogy will be printed.

W. E. Nicol.

July, 1909.

The Nicol family are undoubtedly descendants of

the Macnical or Macn'icail Clan, who were descended

from the ancient Gaelic tribe (the Northern Picts), the

earliest inhabitants of the district of Ness, on the

north-west coast of Scotland, off the Minch.

Skene, in his "Table of the Descent of the High-

land Clans," shows the Macnical Clan as one of the

eighteen great clans. They were under the Maormor-

ship or Earldom of Ness, Macnicol being Chief of the

Clan. From Skene's account of the Macleod and

Macnical Clans, it appears that on the death of the

last Macnicol chief, his daughter and heiress married

Torquil Macleod, a younger son of the Chief Macleod

of Glenelg or Harris. By this marriage the Macleods

acquired possession of Edderachylis, Duirnes, Assint,

and Coygash, the lands previously owned by the

Macnicols.

There is little doubt that after the death of the

Chief, the Macnicals lost adhesion, and ceased to exist

as a clan.

The Nicols to which this Genealogy refers came

from the County of Sutherland. After frequent and

severe fights with the Macintoshes, they, with others

of the clan, moved southwards about 1600, manysettling in Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire, others

going as far south as Glasgow.

From a memorandum book kept by Dr. Wm.Nicol from 1 Jan., 1802 to 30 June, 1804, now in the

possession of Sir Dyce Duckworth, some insight is got

into his habits and character. He was evidently a verysociable, hospitable person, dining and supping out

very frequently, whether accompanied by his wife or

not is not recorded. An entry often appears :" Had

company to dinner." He was fond of a game of cards,

his losses or gains, varying from 6d. to 3s., are entered

;

in 2J years he was a loser of Cs. 3d. He took muchinterest in county business, attending County andDistrict Road Meetings, Excise and Small DebtsCourts ; he was a Commissioner of Income andProperty Tax, a Captain of Volunteers from 30 May,1797 to 1 May, 1802, when the Volunteers were dis-

charged, by order of the Lord-Lieutenant. Later hewas a Captain in the Militia. Some curious entries

which this memorandum book contains will be found in

the Appendix.
