    “In all gudly haste”: The Formation of Marriage in Scotland, c. 1350-1600 by Heather Parker A thesis presented to the University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philsophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Heather Parker, March 2012 ABSTRACT “IN ALL GUDLY HASTE”: THE FORMATION OF MARRIAGE IN SCOTLAND, C. 1350-1600 Heather Parker Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Elizabeth Ewan This dissertation examines the formation of marriage in Scotland between the mid- fourteenth century and the late sixteenth century. In particular, it focuses on betrothals, marriage negotiations, ritual, and the place that these held in late medieval Scottish society. This study extends to the generation following the Reformation to examine the extent to which the Reformation influenced the marriage planning of wealthy Scots. It concludes that much of the social impact of the Reformation was not reflected in family life until at least a generation after reform. Scottish society and culture was influenced both by contemporary literature, which discussed the role of marriage formation, and by concurrent events involving high-profile marriages. These helped to define the context of marriage for society as a whole. This work relies heavily on the pre-nuptial contracts of lairds (the Scottish gentry) and nobles, which reflected certain aspects of their marriage patterns and strategies. The context and clauses of an extensive group of 272 Scottish marriage contracts from published and archival collections illuminate aspects of the formation of Scottish marriage, such as the land and money that changed hands, the extent to which brides and grooms were influenced by their kin, and the timelines for betrothals.

Even for the RAF, that was certainly cutting it tight! I am glad that I will now be able to spend more time on Sirmoor matters and events through our Chairman, William, and catch up with old friends.

  • The Politics of Homecoming Scotland

    The Politics of Homecoming Scotland

    Political Intervention in a National Tourism Event: The Politics of Homecoming Scotland Professor Brian Hay School of Arts & Social Sciences Queen Margaret University Edinburgh, Scotland EH21 6UU [email protected] Professor Alison Morrison School of International Business Victoria University Melbourne, Victoria 3011 [email protected] Key Words: Events, Politics, Scotland Introduction The aim of this paper is to provide insight and analysis into the politics of a government tourism initiative within the geographic context of Scotland. It highlights the catalytic role of key government agencies in channelling investment, energies, events and marketing effort into a nationally focused tourism theme: Homecoming Scotland 2009 (HS09). The paper delves below the public relations veneer of many such activities to uncover the political debates and controversies that may have detracted from the successes of the initiative. Background The devolved Government for Scotland was formed in 1999, and is responsible for most of the day-to-day concerns of the people of Scotland, including tourism. In 2007, the Scottish National Party (SNP) was voted into power for the first time (without an overall majority), but in 2011 they were re-elected with an overall majority. One of the SNP’s early announcements was its support for a tourism destination marketing initiative called Homecoming Scotland 2009, an idea that was first formed under the previous Labour administration. Although HS09 was a Scottish Government initiative, its day-to-day management was devolved to EventScotland, the national events agency, working with VisitScotland, the national tourism agency. The main aim of HS09 was to encourage events designed to attract visitors of Scottish birth, descent or affinity to Scotland.

    The History of the McAlpine Clan Society 2000 Dearborn, Michigan, USA July Clan MacAlpine Society: Report On 1st AGM - July 2000 The 1st Annual General Meeting of the Clan MacAlpine Society is deemed a success! We did it! Our 1st Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on July 21st and 22nd, 2000, and was pronounced a resounding success. We had approximately 60 MacAlpines in attendance as we shared food, drink, and, of course, the sound of bagpipes. Many discussions arose about the history of our Royal Clan and the endeavors of the Society to bring us together and to regain recognition for our Clan. This two-day event consisted of a golf tournament on the 21st and a picnic with barbecue on the 22nd. The golf tournament was held in Glencoe, Ontario, Canada, while the picnic was held at Maybury State Park in Northville, Michigan, USA. Eight hearty souls entered the golf tournament and Andrew Hugh McAlpine of Detroit was declared the winner. Timothy (McAlpine) Smith, Staff Writer for the Farmington Observer, interviewed some MacAlpines at the picnic and documented our event. He wrote an article about our gathering that appeared in several newspapers the following month (see below). A copy of the article has been forwarded to The Lyon Court so that they will be kept informed of our gathering activities. Among other festivities, a one-year subscription to Scottish Life Magazine was given to one lucky attendee. We would like to thank the folks at this fine publication for their support and sponsorship of our event. We would like to offer a special thank you to the co-hosts of this event, James A.

    King James VI of Scotland's Foreign Relations with Europe (C.1584-1603)

    DIPLOMACY & DECEPTION: KING JAMES VI OF SCOTLAND'S FOREIGN RELATIONS WITH EUROPE (C. 1584-1603) Cynthia Ann Fry A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 2014 Full metadata for this item is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/5902 This item is protected by original copyright DIPLOMACY & DECEPTION: King James VI of Scotland’s Foreign Relations with Europe (c. 1584-1603) Cynthia Ann Fry This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews October 2014 ABSTRACT This thesis is the first attempt to provide an assessment of Scottish-Jacobean foreign relations within a European context in the years before 1603. Moreover, it represents the only cohesive study of the events that formed the foundation of the diplomatic policies and practices of the first ruler of the Three Kingdoms. Whilst extensive research has been conducted on the British and English aspects of James VI & I’s diplomatic activities, very little work has been done on James’s foreign policies prior to his accession to the English throne. James VI ruled Scotland for almost twenty years before he took on the additional role of King of England and Ireland. It was in his homeland that James developed and refined his diplomatic skills, and built the relationships with foreign powers that would continue throughout his life. James’s pre-1603 relationships with Denmark-Norway, France, Spain, the Papacy, the German and Italian states, the Spanish Netherlands and the United Provinces all influenced his later ‘British’ policies, and it is only through a study such as this that their effects can be fully understood.
