    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

  • Mary Shepherd and the Causal Relation
    Mary Shepherd and the Causal Relation The 3rd Earl of Rosebery with his family outside of Barnbougle Castle. Painted by Alexander Nasmyth in 1788. Mary Primrose is second from the right. Jennifer McRobert © 2002 Jennifer McRobert (revised February 2014) Author’s note: This manuscript was written a dozen years ago and then set aside. In February 2014, the text was lightly edited to eliminate some typos and to improve readability. There is no new research here, but the material may be of use to historians and others interested in early modern women philosophers. Contents Preface 5 Part One 7 1 God and the King: The Primrose Ancestry 8 2 A Childhood in Dalmeny 18 3 Hume and the Limits of Moderation 32 4 London, Marriage and Society 44 5 Causality and the Revolutionary Lens 54 Bibliography 66 Preface Lady Mary Shepherd (1777-1847) was born Mary Primrose, on 31 December 1777. The daughter of an Earl, she grew up on an estate near Edinburgh during the Scottish Enlightenment. Mary Shepherd's life and work were shaped in important ways by the philosophical and political controversies that arose in connection with David Hume and his philosophy. In particular, she was strongly motivated to refute the `erroneous notions’ of cause and effect advanced by Hume and his followers, which she viewed as leading to scepticism and atheism: When she undertook a public refutation of these erroneous notions of cause and effect, it must be remembered it was at a time when they were most rampant and widely spread over the northern parts of Britain in particular.

  • THE HOME of the ROYAL SOCIETY of EDINBURGH Figures Are Not Available
    THE HOME OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH Figures are not available Charles D Waterston The bicentennial history of the Royal Society of Edinburgh1, like previous accounts, was rightly concerned to record the work and achievements of the Society and its Fellows. Although mention is made of the former homes and possessions of the Society, these matters were incidental to the theme of the history which was the advancement of learning and useful knowledge, the chartered objectives of the Society. The subsequent purchases by the Society of its premises at 22–28 George Street, Edinburgh, have revealed a need for some account of these fine buildings and of their contents for the information of Fellows and to enhance the interest of many who will visit them. The furniture so splendidly displayed in 22–24 George Street dates, for the most part, from periods in our history when the Society moved to more spacious premises, or when expansion and refurbishment took place within existing accommodation. In order that these periods of acquisition may be better appreciated it will be helpful to give a brief account of the rooms which it formerly occupied before considering the Society's present home. Having no personal knowledge of furniture, I acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr Ian Gow of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and Mr David Scarratt, Keeper of Applied Art at the Huntly House Museum of Edinburgh District Council Museum Service for examining the Society's furniture and for allowing me to quote extensively from their expert opinions.

My own research on the Carment and Inglis families’ histories represents one such journey that began about half a century ago. As a boy in Sydney, I was curious about my mainly Scottish ancestry and asked my parents and other relations about it. Although I was Australian-born and never travelled outside Australia until I was an adult, Scottish associations and influences were prominent during my childhood. My Carment and Inglis grandmothers were born in Scotland, while my Carment grandfather received his university education and worked there. Scotland was often mentioned in family conversations.

  • Memoir of the Late J. Pillans ... by an Old Student
    MEMOIR /' JAMES PILLANS, LL.D., PROFESQOR OF ROMAN LITERATURE IN THE finihzrsitg 0f fihinhurglg. BY AN OLD STUDENT. ’4 , /!~ " Quod enlm munul relpubllca lflerre majul meliusve pomumun, quam I‘l dooemul nun erudlmna invontume—Cic. dc Div. II. 2. EDINBURGH : MACLACHLAN dz STEWART, 64 SOUTH BRIDGE, BOOKSILLEBB TO THE UNIVERSITY. LONDON: SIMPKIN, MARQHALL, AND CO. MDCCCLXIX. THE following MEMOIR, by an old Student, is a reprint of five articles which originally appeared in a. Glasgow daily newspaper, in April, 1864. At the earnest request of many of Professor Pillans’s old Students, and of others who cherish his memory, they are now re-issued in a separate and enlarged form. In one of the brief notices of the Professor which appeared in an Edinburgh Journal, immediately after his decease, a promise was made that his life and labours should be more fully reviewed, but the promise was not redeemed. The writer of this Memoir undertook, at the suggestion of the Professor, to review his “Contributions to the Cause of Education ” several years before his death. Unfortunately, other engagements prevented the execu tion of his intention. A. R. Umvsnsrrr or EDINBURGH, September, 1869. MEMOIR OF JAMES PILLANS, LL.D. —+_ VENERABLE and distinguished man, who occu pied a conspicuous position during the last fifty years, has been lost to Scotland. By the death of Dr Pillans, lately Professor of Roman Litera ture in Edinburgh University, the Scottish metropolis has been deprived of one of its oldest citizens, its ripest scholars, its most enlightened educators, and its most unwearied philan thropists. The melancholy, though not unexpected announce ment will be read by thousands of educated men in every part of the world, from lads in their teens to old men of threescore and ten, who have been members of his classes, and who will, with one voice, acknowledge their common debt of re spect and gratitude to their accomplished instructor.

  • Inventory Acc.12092 Papers of the Family of Skene of Rubislaw Related
    Inventory Acc.12092 Papers of the family of Skene of Rubislaw related Scottish families, and the family of Sir Walter Scott National Library of Scotland Manuscripts Division George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW Tel: 0131-466 2812 Fax: 0131-466 2811 E-mail: [email protected] © Trustees of the National Library of Scotland This collection consists of more than 3000 documents, dating from the 1420s to 1980s, mainly relating to the family of Skene of Rubislaw (near Aberdeen). At its centre are the papers of James Skene (1775-1864), artist and friend of Sir Walter Scott. Skene corresponded with notable individuals in the cultural circles of his day and was connected with such organizations as the Royal Institution, the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Institute for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts in Scotland, the Board of Trustees for Manufacturers, and the Bannatyne Club, among others. The archive was formerly in the possession of Major P.I.C. Payne, of Minehead, in Somerset, who acquired the material by purchase from various sources. Some of Major Payne’s own papers relating to the collection from the 1960s, 70s and 80s are included (folders 102-107). Major Payne provided individual descriptions of a portion of the earlier Skene family papers (folders 1-10). These descriptions are listed in the Appendix to this inventory. Folder 10 includes some letters of James Skene himself. Other related families (folders 22-36) include Moir of Stoneywood (the family of James Skene’s mother, Jane), the Forbes family (that of Skene’s wife, Jane, daughter of Sir William Forbes of Pitsligo), Russell of Aden, Keith of Ludquhairn, Gordon of Balgown, Ramsay of Invernellie and Peterhead, and Skene of Halyards and Curriehill.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Cosmo Innes Oxford
    Innes, Cosmo Nelson (1798–1874), antiquary, was born on 9 September 1798 at the old manor house of Durris on Deeside, the youngest child but one of sixteen children of John Innes and his wife, Euphemia (née Russell). John Innes, who belonged to the family of Innes of Innes, had sold his property in Moray to buy Durris. He resided at Durris for many years, but was afterwards ejected by a legal decision, a leading case in the Scottish law of entail. Cosmo Innes was sent to the high school, Edinburgh, under James Pillans, and studied at King's College, Aberdeen, and Glasgow University. He afterwards matriculated at Balliol College, Oxford, on 13 May 1817, graduating BA in 1820 (with a third class), and MA in 1824. In 1826 he married Isabella, daughter of Hugh Rose; they had nine children. Their eldest daughter, Katharine, herself an author, married John Hill Burton, the historian; while a son, James, became a government official in Sarawak and maried Emily Robertson, who is now known for her controversial book on life in Selangor. Innes and his family lived chiefly in or near Edinburgh, first at Ramsay Lodge, then at 6 Forres Street, later at Hawes, South Queensferry, and finally rather grandly at Inverleith House, Edinburgh. In 1822 Innes became an advocate at the Scottish bar. His practice was never large, but he was soon employed in peerage and other cases demanding antiquarian and genealogical research. His first case of this kind was the Forbes peerage case, about 1830–32. In the Stirling case he was crown advocate.
