They were involved in many battles on the Scottish borders. Johnstone comes from "John's toun", not "John's stone" or "John's son." Historically, "Johnston" has been an alternate spelling of the surname.[3] The first known person of this name was John of Johnstone, who in 1174 gave his name to the lands of Annandale in Dumfrieshire which he had been granted.[4] [5] His son, called Gilbert Johnstone ("Gillibertus de Johnistoun") appears on records between 1194–1214 and onwards, presumably taking his surname from the town his father had established - "Johnstone" or "John's toun". Gilbert's Grandson called Sir John Johnstone was a Knight of the Patrick Andrew Wentworth Hope-Johnstone [4] county of Dumfries. Sir John Johnstone signed the Ragman Roll The 11th Earl of Annandale and Hartfell, Lord of King Edward I of England in 1296.[4] Johnstone, 26th Chief of the Name and Arms of Johnstone, 11th Hereditary Steward of Annandale At this time Perth was known as St Johnston and Johnstonburn in and 11th Hereditary Keeper of Lochmaben East Lothian was then called Jonystoun. These two areas have Palace.[2] records of the Johnstone Clan. A third area of Johnstones which came from Stephen the Clerk and Margaret the heiress of Sir Rival clans Andrew Garioch used the family name of Johnston. Clan Maxwell Wars of Scottish Independence In roughly 1280, William Wallace gave the Lochmaben castle to Johnstone of Eskdale, who apparently was his kinsman.[6] Sir John Johnstone, grandson of the aforementioned Sir John, was a highly active leader on the border and resisted the English quite well from 1377 through 1379.[7] He fought against the English armies at the Battle of Solway 1 of 4 Moss in 1378.[8] The Johnstones were also at the Battle of Otterburn in 1388. 15th century & Anglo-Scottish Border Wars It was the fighting Johnstons of the Western Borders who would become the most powerful group of Johnstons in Scotland. The elder Sir John's great grandson Adam (son of the younger Sir John) was Laird of Johnston around 1413. In 1448 Adam and the Johnstons took part in the victorious fight against the English at the Battle of Sark during the Anglo-Scottish Border Wars. [4] (http://www.google.com/books?id=jOEgAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover& dq=label:johnston#PRA1-PA33,M1) Adam's son supported King James II of Scotland in putting down the Clan Douglas. They won their lands of Buittle and Sannoch near Threave Castle as a reward. Map of Scotland showing the district John Johnstone, the eldest son of Adam, was progenitor of the Annandale of Annandale, where the Johnstones branch, and his brother Matthew who married the daughter of the Earl of Angus lived. was progenitor of the wester Hall branch of Johnstones. John's offspring would become the main chief Johnstone family. 16th century & clan conflicts There had been a long running feud between Clan Johnstone and the Clan Maxwell. The feud came to a head on 7 December 1593 at the Battle of Dryfe Sands near Lockerbie. The Clan Maxwell army approached the Johnstone town of Lockerbie. Johnstone kept most of his men hidden, just sending a handful of men out on horseback to taunt and provoke the Maxwells. The Johnstones attacked, taking the Maxwells by surprise as they were attempting to ford the river Annan.[9] The Clan Maxwell fared badly that day. In all, it is said that up to 700 Maxwells were killed, but this may be an exaggerated number. Those who escaped wounded Johnston(e) tartan as published in were said to bear the marks of "Lockerbie Licks." Their chief, Lord Maxwell, who 1842, in the dubious Vestiarium was one of the most powerful men in southern Scotland, was slain in cold blood by Scoticum. the Johnstones when he asked for mercy and offered to surrender. Although Sir James Johnstone escaped punishment from the King for his actions, he did not escape the unforgiving hand of the next Lord Maxwell, son of the chief who was killed at Dryfe Sands. In 1608, Lord Maxwell shot Sir James in the back during a meeting held “under trust,” which rendered him an outlaw. Lord Maxwell was later captured and executed by hanging.[10] The Clan Johnstone also had a long feud with the Clan Moffat who were another Scottish border clan. The Moffats were raiders and reivers, and conducted long-running feuds with their neighbours. Their greatest enemies were the Clan Johnstone. The feud climaxed with murder of the Clan Moffat chief in 1557, Robert Moffat. The Clan Johnstone then went on to burn the local church with the most important members of the Moffat family inside, slaughtering anyone who tried to escape. Thus, in one blow the powerful Clan Moffat was almost wiped out. Seventy years later all of the Moffat's lands were passed to the Johnstones due to the Moffats having massive debts. 17th century & Civil War During the Civil War, the Clan Johnstone supported the Royalist cause of King Charles. In 1633, King Charles I awarded lordship to the Johnstone chief, Sir James Johnston, as the Lord Johnstone; ten years later Charles made him the Earl of Hartfell. After King Charles I was defeated in the Civil War, both the Johnstone chief and his eldest son were imprisoned in Dumbarton Castle and Edinburgh Castle. However, after the Stuart Monarchs returned to the 2 of 4 throne, King Charles II rewarded the Johnstones' loyalty by granting Lord Hartfell the titles of Earl of Annandale and Hartfell, Viscount of Annan, and Lord Johnstone of Lochwood, Lochmaben, Moffatdale and Evandal. The Johnstones were later Jacobites. 18th century By the 18th century the Clan Chief of Johnstones had been raised from the rank of Lord to Earl of Annandale and Secretary of State. John the second of the Wester Hall branch was made a Baronet of Nova Scotia.

Maccus was believed to be a Norse chief who lived in the reign of David I. Sir John Maxwell, Chamberlain of Scotland, died without issue and was succeeded by his brother, Aymer, from whose sons sprang many branches of this family throughout the south-west of Scotland. Sir Herbert Maxwell swore fealty to Edward I of England in the Ragman Roll of 1296. His son, Eustace, held Caerlaverock Castle as a vassal of the English, but later followed Robert the Bruce to Bannockburn in 1314. His descendent, another Sir Herbert, was created Lord Maxwell around 1440, taking his seat as Lord of Parliament. From his second son descended the Maxwells of Monrieth, who were later to be created baronets in 1681. The fifth Lord intrigued with Henry VII of England, although by 1542 James V had appointed him warden of the marches. Maxwell was captured at the Battle of Solway Moss in the same year. John, the seventh Lord, remained a devout Catholic throughout the Reformation, and his name was linked with a number of plots to restore Mary, Queen of Scots to her throne.

    Fbsm!pg!Booboebmf!boe!Ibsugfmm! Qbusjdl!Boesfx!Xfouxpsui!Ipqf!Kpiotupof!pg!Booboebmf!! boe!pg!uibu!Jml/! 11th Earl of Annandale and Hartfell, Chief of the name and Arms of Johnstone. Baron of the lands of Annandale and Hartfell and of the lands of Johnstone: Hereditary Steward, the Stewartry of Annandale: Hereditary Keeper of the keys of Lochmaben Castle; Deputy Lieutenant, Dumfriesshire, 1987-92, vice- Lord Lieutenant, since 1992: Born 19.04.1941, Auldgirth, Dumfriesshire; Married Susan Josephine Ross; 1 son; 1 daughter. The Johnstones came into prominence as a powerful Border Clan involved in frequent episodes of Border warfare. In 1633, in the reign of King Charles I, James Johnstone of Johnstone was created Lord Johnstone of Lochwood and in 1643 advanced to be Earl of Hartfell. The extinct Earldom of Annandale was conferred on his heir, the 2nd Earl of Hartfell in 1661, who died in 1672. His son, William, became the first Marquis of Annandale in 1701. The Marquisate, the Earldom of Hartfell and Lord Johnstone became extinct and all the other peerages and titles became dormant in 1792 on the death of William’s grandson, George, 3rd Marquis of Annandale who died unmarried. Nearly 200 years passed without a Chief of Clan Johnstone possibly through confusion that none of the Heads of the Johnstone family had matriculated his or her arms with the Lord Lyon. This should be done at least every second generation. Then in 1983, the Lord Lyon of Scotland officially recognized Percy Wentworth Hope Johnstone of Annandale and of that ilk as Chief of the Name and Arms of Johnstone.

    Dumfries and Galloway Integration Joint Board Health and Social Care NITHSDALE LOCALITY REPORT March 2021 Version: DRAFT March 2021 1. General Manager’s Introduction 1.1 The COVID-19 Pandemic The past year has presented unprecedented challenges for health and social care across Dumfries and Galloway. The first 2 cases of COVID-19 in the UK were confirmed by 31 January 2020. The first positive cases in Dumfries and Galloway were identified on 16 March 2020. Following direction from the Scottish Government, in March 2020 Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care Partnership started their emergency response to the pandemic. Hospital wards were emptied and some cottage hospitals temporarily closed. Many planned services were stopped whilst others changed their delivery model. Many staff were redeployed to assist with anticipated high levels of demand across the Partnership. There were many issues that had to be addressed including: the supply and distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) across the Health and Social Care system over 500 people’s regular care and support ‘packages’ were readjusted to respond to the needs presented by COVID-19 our relationships with care homes changed significantly we quickly kitted out a site that could be used as a temporary cottage hospital in Dumfries During the period of June to October 2020, the Partnership focused on adapting services to reflect the heightened infection prevention and control measures needed to combat COVID-19 and rapidly expanding COVID-19 testing capacity across the region. We rolled out training and technology to enable many more video and telephone consultations. We had to rethink how people could access our premises, with additional cleaning and social distancing to keep people safe.

Broad: ‘Northumberland at War’. At the Battle of Towton in 1461 the Lancastrian forces of Henry VI were defeated by the Yorkist forces of Edward IV. However Henry VI, with his wife, son and a few knights, fled north and found sanctuary in Scotland, where, in exchange for the town of Berwick, the Scots granted them finance, housing and troops. Henry was therefore able to maintain a presence in Northumberland and his supporters were able to claim that he was in fact as well as in theory sovereign resident in Northumberland.
