(Scot.) MINISTER OF ROTHESAY EDITOR OF 'certain TRACTATES BY NINIAN WINZET VOL. II. AND THE BRANDANES WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS EDINBURGH AND LONDON MDCCCXCV TO THE MARCHIONESS OF BUTE PREFACE TO THE SECOND VOLUME. In this volume I have carried out my intention of providing an account of the Stewards of Scotland, and a history of ' Bute in the Olden Time,' from the thirteenth down to the eighteenth century, to which I have added a few of the more important facts which link the last two centuries to the present time. Having no special brief to furnish, in fullest detail, the romantic history of the Royal Stewards, I have been hampered in the effort to condense, within the straitened framework of language attractive to the reader, many important unpublished results of re- searches which should add a new interest to the mystery of the origin of the Stewarts who occupied the throne of Scotland. To find " the root of many kings " among the Celts of Scotland, I have ransacked every likely place for facts, with such success, chronicled herein, as may viii Preface to the Second Volume. possibly provoke some other zealous investigator to follow up the clues through those unpublished MSS., which are the treasures of the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin, and which my examination did not ex- haust. By their means the ghost of Banquo may yet become more vocal than he was to King Macbeth. To ensure reliable investigation into the connection of Alan—the progenitor of the Stewards—with Brit- tany, I visited that ancient province, and in the Public Library at Rennes, as well as in the British Museum, verified the supposition that the Fitz Alans were also Bretons. On my return, I had the honour and good fortune to receive from the Right Honour- able the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres the use of a large collection of MSS. referring to the Fitz Alans and their Breton contemporaries, which were gathered during a lifetime by the late learned peer, his father, who had given much attention to the early history of his ancestry. Many of these docu- ments are extracts from the chartularies of French monasteries and records of Brittany, made by dis- tinguished French scholars, notably Monsieur Fran- cisque Michel. I have to thank the Earl of Crawford and Bal- — Preface to the Second Vohi-me. ix Carres for his kindness in intrusting this valuable collection to me. I have also to thank the Most Noble the Mar- quess of Bute, K.T., for his courtesy in permitting me to study in Mountstuart Library, to have access to his charters, and to publish the Report on Rothesay Castle, drawn up by Mr Burges, architect. To the many friends who have assisted me in the production of this work, including those artistic helpers whose names are associated with the beauti- ful plates throughout this volume, and are mentioned in the descriptive Index, I tender my thanks. For ten years I have, in imagination, listened to the voices of the saintly and patriotic makers of our Fatherland, and have followed throughout these western regions our immortal heroes, — Aidan from Erin to lona — Wallace from Lanark to London Bruce from Carrick to Cardross—the Brandanes from Bute to Bannockburn and many another field ; but now the accomplishment of this work brings the regret that I must forbear their "pastyme and gud companie," and let the sword of freedom descend, darkling, into its rusty scabbard, —the sweet chant of St Blaan turn into the wind-gusts whistling through his still roofless fane — the countenance of Walter, X Preface to the Second Volume. gallant companion of the Bruce, " seemly to sycht," find base presentment in the mutilated effigy that memorialises his fame in the Lady Kirk — and com- munion in the brave days of old become ex- changed for association in the diurnal conflicts of a more flexible, and therefore a meaner age, wherein too many consider patriotism to be a restrictive prejudice.

At birth he automatically became Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay. He would become popularly known as “Prinny” because a few days later the infant would be anointed as Prince of Wales, Earl of Chester, and heir apparent to the British throne. George, the eldest son of George III, was born in 1762. George rebelled against his father’s strict discipline. At the age of eighteen he became involved with an actress, Mrs. Perdita Robinson. This was followed by a relationship with Lady Melbourne. The Prince of Wales also rebelled against his father’s political views.

There is little known of Suibne, as he is only attested in three sources that record the year of his death. He seems to have ruled in a region where Gall Gaidheil are known to have dwelt: either the Hebrides, the Firth of Clyde region, or somewhere along the south- Suibne's name as it appears on folio 16v of Oxford western coast of Scotland from the firth southwards into Galloway.

This extension of power may have partially contributed to the destruction of the Kingdom of Strathclyde, an embattled realm which then faced aggressions from Dublin Vikings, Northumbrians, and Scots as well.

The story of the Historic Families of Ayrshire is one of «xceptional interest, as well from the personal as from the county, as here and there from the national, standpoint. As one traces it along the centuries he realises, what it is sometimes difficult to do in a general historical survey, what sort of men they were who carried on the succession of events, and obtains many a glimpse into their own character that reveals their individuality and their idiosyncracies, as well as the motives that actuated and that animated them.

    Developing an onshore wind farm on Bute – an experiential perspective on policy and planning Adrian Tear Department of Geography, Buckingham Building, University of Portsmouth, PO1 3HE Partner, Ascog Farm, Ascog, Isle of Bute, PA20 9LL Email: [email protected] Abstract The purchase of Ascog Farm on the Isle of Bute, Scotland in 2008 has plunged the author and his family into an otherwise unfamiliar world of conflict surrounding onshore renewable wind energy development. Ascog Farm has high average annual wind speeds and is proximal to exisng operaonal wind farms on the mainland in North Ayrshire. Following inial, and inexpensive, invesgaons of potenal conducted in 2009 a series of increasingly detailed, and expensive, feasibility studies have been commissioned culminang in the producon of an Environmental Statement to support a planning applicaon for three mid‐sized (50m to hub, 74m to p) community benefit wind turbines lodged with Argyll and Bute Council in October 2012. Over £120,000 has been spent researching and collang the planning applicaon, which has taken around two years to produce.
