This photograph of 1897 shows the sons and daughters of pioneers from Tiree in School Section 11 of Kincardine Township, Ontario. The wooden school behind them was built in 1871 on land donated by Archibald MacKinnon.
Archibald’s parents, Fingon MacKinnon and his wife Christena MacLean, emigrated from Salum to Canada in 1851 with their seven sons then aged between five and nineteen. Fingon first worked as a labourer in Brock Township where the youngest son died of typhoid in 1854. The family then moved to Kincardine Township and settled on Lot 29 Concession 11. Fingon died there in 1859.
By 1861 the family had cleared sixty of their hundred acres. Their crops included spring wheat, oats, potatoes and turnips and, as well as two oxen, they had three steers or heifers, four milk cows and seven pigs. They continued the Tiree tradition of combining farming and other trades, e.g. carpentry.

Colour photograph of a quaich presented to Malcolm MacIntyre in 1863.
Quaich presented in 1863 to Malcolm MacIntyre who emigrated to New Zealand in 1861 where he struck gold and then returned to Scotland. He was probably the son of Donald MacIntyre of Kirkapol and his wife Catherine MacArthur of Vaul who may have moved from Tiree to Easdale.
The inscription on the silver band round the top of the quaich reads, ‘This quaich is a part of Wallace’s tree in which he took shelter A.D. 1300. Malcolm MacIntyre 1863.’ The band at the side is inscribed with ‘Clanna nan Gaidheal ri Guailibh a chèile’ (Children of the Gael shoulders together) and ‘Tìr nam beann, nan Gleann, ’s nan Gaisgeach’ (Land of mountains, glens and heroes).
