PUBLICATIONS OF THE SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY VOLUME XXXIII MACFARLANE'S GENEALOGICAL COLLECTIONS VOL. I PREFACE THE Collection of Manuscripts formed by Walter Macfarlane was purchased by the Faculty of Advocates in 1785 from his niece Miss Janet Macfarlane , for the sum of twenty -one pounds. Among those manuscripts , in addition to the two volumes of Genealogical Collections - now by the permission of the Faculty published for the first time - were The Geographical Collec- tions, 3 vols ., the publication of which is shortly to be under- taken by the Society ; Collections relative to several Scottish Families , 2 vols. ; Index to the Register of the Great Seal to 1762, 5 vols. ; Diplomatum regiorum quu in publicis archivis extant abbreviations , 10 vols. ; several volumes of transcripts of charters , including the charters of Melrose , Balmerinoch, and other religious houses ; and various other transcripts. The following biographical notice of Walter Macfarlane is taken from The Chiefs of Colquhoun and their Country, by the late Sir William Fraser , vol. ii . pp. 99, 100: Walter Macfarlane , one of the most laborious and accurate antiquaries of his age, was the son and successor of this John by his wife, Helen, daughter of Robert , second Viscount of Arbuthnot. He transcribed with his own hand many old cartularies and muni- ments deposited in private charter -chests. He was very liberal in allowing access to his valuable collections and transcripts, which are still consulted and often quoted by authors, being regarded as of high authority . To his industry we owe the existence of a copy of the Levenax Cartulary , the original of which is now lost. He married Lady Elizabeth Erskine, daughter of Alexander , sixth Earl of Kellie. Little is known of his history, which appears to have been chiefly that of a vi GENEALOGICAL COLLECTIONS student, without any remarkable incidents to record. In Anderson's Diplomata Scotia, published at Edinburgh in the year 1739, the learned editors, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Thomas Ruddiman, in an acknowledgment of their obligations to those who contributed the original charters engraved in that great work, notice in favourable terms the assistance given them by the Laird of Macfarlane : In this list of most noble and most eminent men deserves in particular to be inscribed by us a most accomplished young man, Walter Macfarlane of that Ilk, Esq., Chief of the Macfarlanes, one of the most ancient of the clans , who, as he is conspicuous for the utmost urbanity, and for his acquaintance with all the more elegant, and, especially, the antiquarian departments of literature, most readily devoted much labour and industry in explaining to us the names of men and places." The eulogium pronounced upon him by Smollett is after- wards 1 quoted. He died, without issue, at his town-house in the Canongate of Edinburgh, on 5th June 1767. After his death his valuable collections were purchased by the Faculty of Advocates, Edinburgh. His portrait, an excellent original painting, which exhibits a remarkably intelligent, manly, and open countenance, occupies a place on the walls of the Museum of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, to whom it was gifted in 1786 by his nephew, Walter Macfarlane. This portrait was engraved for the late Mr. W. B. D. D. Turnbull, for the purpose of being intro- duced into his 11Monasticon of Scotland," a work which was never completed.' The Cash Book of the late William Macfarlane of Ports- burgh, W.S., who died on 13th July 1831, contains, under date 1785, the following notice : Walter Macfarlane of Macfarlane (20th), of Arrochar, was the second but eldest surviving son of John Macfarlane (19th) of Arrochar and Lady Helen , daughter of the 2nd Viscount Arbuthnot. He succeeded his father 13th May 1705. He married, 21st April 1760, Lady Elizabeth Erskine, daughter of 1 Should probably be 'previously,' instead of `afterwards,' as the passage referred to occurs on p. 80, vol. ii. of The Chiefs of Colquhoun. The eulogium is in Humphry Clinker, where Macfarlane is spoken of as `the greatest genea- logist I ever knew in any country, and perfectly acquainted with all the antiqui- ties of Scotland.' PREFACE vii Alexander, Earl of Kelly, by whom he had no issue. He died in his house in the Canongate, Edinburgh, on the 5th, and was buried in the Grayfriars, Edinburgh, betwixt the two west pillars of the New Kirk, on the 8th of June 1767. He was succeeded by his brother, Dr. William Macfarlane, as 21st of Arrochar, who sold the estate in March ] 784, after having been five hundred and fifty-nine years in the family.' The original sources from which Macfarlane's transcripts have been derived are occasionally indicated by him , and some account of these may be here given. Martine of Clermont, from whose manuscripts the history of the Balfours, Leslies, Maules, and others has been taken, was George Martine, the elder, born 1635, died 1712. He was secretary to Archbishop Sharp, and author of the Reliquiw divi Andrew, or The State of the Venerable See of St. Andrews, written in 1683, but not published till 1797. Nothing is now known regarding these manuscripts. The history of the Martines will be found in vol. ii., pp. 183-197, of this work. The `Person of Quality' who wrote the genealogy of the Mackenzies (vol. i. p. 54) is said by Sir William Fraser in his Earls of Cromartie, vol. i. p. xii, to have been Sir George Mackenzie of Tarbat, afterwards first Earl of Cromartie, and he states that the original history in manuscript is at Tarbat House. Other authorities -among them the British Museum Catalogue (the Genealogy was published in Ding- wall in 1843)-give as the `Person of Quality' John Mackenzie, second of Applecross, known as 'Ian Mollach,' or hairy John, son of Patrick Mackenzie, and grandnephew of Kenneth, first Lord Mackenzie, of Kintail. Several copies of the manuscript are known to exist in Mackenzie collections . Sir Alexander Muir Mackenzie of Delvine has one in his possession , and in all probability it is the one from which Macfarlane made his transcript. Stonyhurst College possesses another copy, and the editor is indebted to the courtesy of the Rev. Father Coupe, S.J., the present viii GENEALOGICAL COLLECTIONS librarian at Stonyhurst, for a description of that manuscript. The archives, he says, give no information as to where the manuscript came from, but he suggests that Kenneth Francis Xavier Mackenzie, who entered the Society in 1739, may have gifted it to the library.

  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
    1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international.

One of the points of difference between the bearings of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs on the one hand and those of the I Police Burghs on the other lies in the fact that the former carry castles and ships to an extent which becomes almost monotonous, while among the latter these bearings are rare. On the other hand, the Police Burghs very frequently assume a charge of which A 079 2 Aberchirder. examples, in the blazonry of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs, are very rare : this is the cross, derived apparently from the fact that their market-crosses are the most prominent of their ancient monuments.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

These accounts were written by the ministers of the time and, together with snippets from other books such as Alex Warden’s “Angus or Forfarshire – The Land and People”, form the core of our knowledge of the Parish’s past. In the last 50 years the Parish and its people have undergone many rapid and significant changes. These have come about through local government reorganisations, easier forms of personal transport and the advent of electricity, but above all, by the massive changes in farming. Dwellings, which were once farmhouses or cottages for farm-workers, have been sold and extensively altered. New houses have been built and manses, and even mansion houses, have been converted to new uses. What used to be a predominantly agricultural community has now changed forever. The last full Statistical Account was published in 1951, with revisions in 1967.

  • An Old Family; Or, the Setons of Scotland and America
    [U AN OLD FAMILY OR The Setons of Scotland and America BY MONSIGNOR SETON (MEMBER OF THE NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY) NEW YORK BRENTANOS 1899 Copyright, 1899, by ROBERT SETON, D. D. TO A DEAR AND HONORED KINSMAN Sir BRUCE-MAXWELL SETON of Abercorn, Baronet THIS RECORD OF SCOTTISH ANCESTORS AND AMERICAN COUSINS IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR Preface. The glories of our blood and state Are shadows, not substantial things. —Shirley. Gibbon says in his Autobiography: "A lively desire of knowing and recording our ancestors so generally prevails that it must depend on the influence of some common principle in the minds of men"; and I am strongly persuaded that a long line of distinguished and patriotic forefathers usually engenders a poiseful self-respect which is neither pride nor arrogance, nor a bit of medievalism, nor a superstition of dead ages. It is founded on the words of Scripture : Take care of a good name ; for this shall continue with thee more than a thousand treasures precious and great (Ecclesiasticus xli. 15). There is no civilized people, whether living under republi- can or monarchical institutions, but has some kind of aristoc- racy. It may take the form of birth, ot intellect, or of wealth; but it is there. Of these manifestations of inequality among men, the noblest is that of Mind, the most romantic that of Blood, the meanest that of Money. Therefore, while a man may have a decent regard for his lineage, he should avoid what- ever implies a contempt for others not so well born.
