Of the author or compiler of the following " Diurnal," nothing is known, or seems likely to be discovered. The manuscript from which it has been printed, came into the possession of the family of its present owner in the reign of Charles II,* and appears to be of the latter end of the sixteenth, or the beginning of the seventeenth centurv. It is obviously the work of an ignorant, and often careless transcriber ; whose frequent mistakes, in the names of persons and places, are not the most important or perplexing of his apparent deviations from the original. Some errors however are of a kind which cannot be fairly ascribed to the mere negligence of transcription, and with which the original author may be more justly presumed to have been chargeable. To those who are at all acquainted with the minute details of Scot- tish history in the sixteenth century, a very slight perusal of the work will suggest, that, in its different parts, it is of very unequal value. From the era of the battle of Floddon, and the death of King- James the Fourth, in the year 1513, at which it commences, down to the termination of the government of the Earl of Arran in 1553, its details, comparatively meagre, and occasionally inaccurate, are obviously not recorded by a contemporary chronicler, but must have been derived from tradition and other imperfect sources. Yet even in this first and * one of the blank leaves prefixed to the " On M.S. there is this inscription : John Max- " well of Pollok aught this book by gift of a freind, 22d March (1678)." He was created a Knight Baronet in 1C82, and in l6'99 appointed a Lord of Session, and Lord Justice Clerk. ; least valuable portion of the work, will be 'found many minute facts and notices that would be vainly looked for in the ordinary histories of the reign of King James the Fifth, and the first ten years of the reign of Queen Mary. The next, and the most considerable portion of the work, begin- ning at the year 1557, and ending in June 1572, bears evident marks of having been written by a contemporary observer, residing in Edinburgh, and probably employed in some subordinate official situa- tion, not very remote from the Court, yet not of such a kind as to afford him accurate or confidential intelligence in matters not obvious to all the world. On the most important and most dubious facts in this eventful period of Scottish history, our journalist will probably not be thought to have thrown any new or strong light ; yet in his register of local occurrences, and temporary feelings and observa- tions, there is much, not to be found elsewhere, that cannot fail to interest the students of Scottish history, and which may help to correct or confirm the evidence of which they were previously in possession. To this largest portion of the work, succeeds the third and last which professes to resume the events of the history from the commence- ment of the regency of the Queen dowager Mary of Guise, in 1554, but which, in its details, adds little to the preceding narrative ; and, omitting entirely a period of ten years prior to 1571, becomes really valuable from the continuation of the narrative of events down to its abrupt conclusion in the month of July 1575. These different portions of the Work may be readily discriminated in the following pages without the aid of more minute reference. To have separated them under distinct heads, would have heen an easy task ; and in a publication for popular use, it might have been deemed expedient to reduce the whole contents of the manuscript into a more regular and continuous series. This however would have been a departure from the avowed intentions of those for whose gratification the present work has been undertaken, and whose objects have been to preserve and render somewhat more accessible the original and genuine materials of the history of Scotland. On the plan, accordingly, that has been followed in several preceding publications made under the same authority, the text of the manuscript has been literally adopted, without the exercise of any critical discretion, unless in a few instances of palpable omission or notorious error ; and even in these, the necessary corrections have been introduced in such a way as still to leave the actual readings of the manuscript completely manifest. From this rule, the only deviation that has been hazarded, or of which it is necessary to apprise the reader, has been in the subdivision and punctuation of sentences, which in the manuscript are frequently such as entirely to mar the meaning of the writer, and to demonstrate that the transcriber had not the slightest comprehension of the sense of the original. The manuscript is without any title ; and that which has been adopted, and prefixed to the following pages, seems to correspond with the age of the composition, and sufficiently to indicate its nature and extent.

  • General Register House National Records of Scotland General Register House
    GENERAL REGISTER HOUSE NATIONAL RECORDS OF SCOTLAND GENERAL REGISTER HOUSE ‘A PROPER REPOSITORY’ General Register House was begun in 1774 to the designs of Robert Adam (1728-1792), a Scot who was one of Britain’s greatest architects. It is not only one of his finest public buildings, but also the first purpose-built public record repository in the British Isles. In fact it may be the oldest archive building in the world that is still being used for its original function. A proper home for Scotland’s public records was first proposed in 1722, after the Treaty of Union of 1707 guaranteed that the national records would remain in Scotland. However, for much of the eighteenth century Scotland’s national archives were housed in unsuitable accommodation in Parliament House and other nearby buildings. Eventually, in 1765 a government grant of £12,000 was made available from the forfeited Jacobite estates for the building of ‘a proper repository’. The Register House Trustees only reached agreement on a site when the City gifted the necessary land at the north end of the new North Bridge in 1769. NATIONAL RECORDS OF SCOTLAND ADAM’S DESIGN Largely through the influence of Lord Frederick Campbell, the Lord Clerk Register, Robert Adam and his younger brother James, were appointed architects of Register House in 1772. The Adam brothers believed that you could judge a society by the quality and grandeur of its public buildings, and this commission provided an opportunity to put their beliefs into practice. While the building’s design went through several stages, the main elements of the principal façade and the centralised plan, consisting of a domed rotunda within a quadrangle, were present from the beginning.

THE SCOTTISH BAR: THE EVOLUTION OF THE FACULTY OF ADVOCATES IN ITS HISTORICAL SOCIAL SETTING Nan Wilson* Although the expression "advocate" is used in early Scottish statutes such as the Act of 1424, c. 45, which provided for legal aid to the indigent, the Faculty of Advocates as such dates from 1532 when the Court of Session was constituted as a College of Justice. Before this time, though friends of litigants could appear as unpaid amateurs, there had, of course, been professional lawyers, lay and ecclesiastical, variously described as "fore- speakers," procurators and prolocutors. The functions of advo- cate and solicitor had not yet been differentiated, though the notary had been for historical reasons. The law teacher was then essentially an ecclesiastic. As early as 1455, a distinctive costume (a green tabard) for pleaders was prescribed by Act of Parliament.' Between 1496 and 1501, at least a dozen pleaders can be identified as in extensive practice before the highest courts, and procurators appeared regularly in the Sheriff Courts.2 The position of notary also flourished in Scotland as on the Continent, though from 1469 the King asserted the exclusive right to appoint candidates for that branch of legal practice.

Thanks are due in particular to Fran Woodrow of the John Gray Centre not only for providing the editor with electronic copies of the original letters and generously supplying transcriptions she had previously made of some of them, but also for writing the introduction. IV Editing he letters have been presented in a standardised format. Headers provide Tthe name of the sender and of the recipient, and a number by which each letter can be identified. The salutations and valedictions have been reproduced as they appear in the originals, but the dates when the letters were sent have been standardised and placed immediately after the headers. Due to the time it took for letters from England to reach Scotland, Lord James Ramsay had already sent Lady Susan Hay three before she joined the correspondence. This time lapse, and the fact that thereafter they started writing to each other on a more or less daily basis, makes it impossible to arrange the letters sensibly in order of reply. They have instead been arranged chronologically, with the number of the reply (where it can be identified) added to the notes appended to each letter.

  • THE EARLS of DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS of the MOST ANCIENT and MOST NOBLE ORDER of the THISTLE (From Dennis Hurt and Wayne R
    THE EARLS OF DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS OF THE MOST ANCIENT AND MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE THISTLE (from Dennis Hurt and Wayne R. Premo) In 2017, Dennis Hurt (Clan member #636) and his Lady Susan, who are avid participants in the Colorado Scottish / Celtic Festivals each year, traveled to the United Kingdom as many of us have over these past decades. While visiting Scotland and particularly Edinburgh, they decided to “take in” St. Giles High Kirk (Kirk meaning Church; or High Kirk meaning Cathedral, in this case) which is located on High Street (The Royal Mile) in Old Town Edinburgh. St. Giles Cathedral or High Kirk of Edinburgh is THE principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh (Wikipedia online). St. Giles High Kirk today – The Royal Mile – Edinburgh While online websites have a great deal of information with photos about St. Giles High Kirk, what is important to this narrative is the fact that the Thistle Chapel, a section therein, was dedicated in 1911 to the Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle, SCotlanD’s Foremost OrDer oF Chivalry. Again from Wikipedia: “The Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle is an order of chivalry associated with Scotland. The current version of the Order was founded in 1687 by King James VII 1 of ScotlanD (James II of England and Ireland) who asserted that he was reviving an earlier Order. The Order consists of the Sovereign and sixteen Knights and Ladies, as well as certain "extra" knights (members of the British Royal Family and foreign monarchs).

For the first time since 1559» bishops obedient to Rome ruled over dioceses styled after English place names rather than over districts named for points of the compass# and bore titles derived from their sees rather than from extinct Levantine cities« The decree meant, moreover, that6 in the Vati- k can s opinionc England had ceased to be a missionary area and was ready to take its place as a full member of the Roman Catholic communion. When news of the hierarchy reached London in the mid- dle of October, Englishmen protested against it with unexpected zeal. Irate protestants held public meetings to condemn the new prelates» newspapers cried for penal legislation* and the prime minister, hoping to strengthen his position, issued a public letter in which he charac- terized the letters apostolic as an "insolent and insidious"1 attack on the queen's prerogative to appoint bishops„ In 1851» Parliament, despite the determined op- position of a few Catholic and Peellte members, enacted the Ecclesiastical Titles Act, which imposed a ilOO fine on any bishop who used an unauthorized territorial title, ill and permitted oommon informers to sue a prelate alleged to have violated the act.
