Scalan

The college at Scalan in July 2007.

The Scalan was a Scottish Catholic seminary and one of the few places where underground education by the Catholic Church in Scotland was kept alive during the anti-Catholic persecutions of the 16th-19th century.

History

Eilean Bàn in Loch Morar, as it appears today.

The island in Loch Morar known as Eilean Bàn was briefly the location of a clandestine Catholic seminary founded by Bishop James Gordon, until the Jacobite rising of 1715 forced its closure and eventual reopening at Scalan in Glenlivet.[1] For most of the rest of the 18th century, Scalan was one of the only places in Scotland where young men were trained to be Catholic priests, the so-called "heather priests".[2] From 1717 to 1799, over a hundred priests, including Bishop Hugh MacDonald, were trained there despite the best efforts of the Hanoverian government and the Established Church. As it was strictly illegal, Scalan was burned to the ground on several occasions by redcoat soldiers sent from beyond the Highlands, but was always rebuilt.[3]

The college played a vital role in keeping the traditional Catholic faith alive in northern Scotland. It was named after the Gaelic word for turf sheilings ("galan") found in the local Braes during that period. In 1799, the college was moved to a less remote site, Aquhorthies College, which had larger premises and more accommodation.

Alexander Geddes, Scottish theologian and scholar, and his brother, Bishop John Geddes, was among the famous figures who studied or taught at the college. George James Gordon, known as the "heather priest" was educated here and then taught here as a non-Jesuit for many years.[4]

The last permanent resident of the Scalan was Sandy Matheson, who died in late 2005.

Today

Visitors today will note that the college is largely invisible until you are very close to the college, a factor invaluable in evading detection by the Hanoverian soldiers.

The Scalan is now a museum and is open all year for visitors.[5]

The Scalan Association seeks to promote the preservation of the college of Scalan and its history.[6]
