    President's Report, Year Ended 2019

    ST ANDREWS-LOCHES ALLIANCE President’s Report, year ended 31st December 2019 2019 began with our now traditional New Year Drinks Party. This was a very pleasant gathering of about 25 members during which I was able to announce the Alliance Programme for the coming year. We continued to run the bar for the first three SCO concerts at the Younger Hall, which raised on average about £130. We are grateful to the SCO for bearing the cost of the necessary ‘occasional licences’. This activity has come to a temporary halt while the Younger Hall is closed for refurbishment. In April we welcomed a group of golfers from Loches. The Community Council kindly offered a trophy and this was contested by the Loches golfers and a team made up mostly of Alliance golfing members. With some financial support from the Links Trust, matches took place over the Strathtyrum, Jubilee and Eden courses. The Alliance team narrowly beat the guests and won the trophy which was presented by Callum McLeod, Provost of St Andrews at a dinner on the last night of the visit. A return match in the Loches area is planned for 2020. A group of pupils from Madras College once again visited their partner school in Loches, Collège Georges Besse. The Alliance was able to contribute £800 to help make this possible. We are very keen to support this exchange as it offers local pupils the opportunity to visit our twin town, practise their language skills and experience the French way of life. We were disappointed that the French school was unable to make a return visit, due largely to their concerns over the situation surrounding Brexit.
  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560

    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.
