EDITED BY FRANCIS J. GRANT, W.S., ROTHESAY HERALD AND LYON CLERK. EDINBURGH : PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY- 1906. EDINBURGH : PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER AND COMPANY. PREFACE. The Register of Apprentices for the City of Edinburgh, as a separate record, is contained in two Volumes, viz. — I. to 28th 29th May 1583 December 1647 ; II. 1 2th to 1666 January 1648 30th May ; after which date it is incorporated in the ordinary Guild Register. The books bear to contain the names of all persons received as Apprentices to a merchant or craftsman with the duty of their entry silver, conform to Decreet-Arbitral set forth by the King's Majesty (James VI.) upon all differences between the merchants and craftsmen, conform to the Act and Statute of the Burgh. The portion of the Decreet-Arbitral bearing upon Apprentices and their entry silver is engrossed at the beginning of Volume I. The dates are those at which the indenture was booked, but when another date is given in brackets, it is that of the indenture itself. Two paragraphs in the Record explain the absence of entries of " Apprentices between certain dates, viz. — 10 April 1639. —Na consel all this times in respect of the trubells and in respect of the King's Schippis lyand in the road of Leyth, who come here upon the day of April last." "21 January 1646. —Na Court all this time since the 25 day of June last, in respect of the great infection of the seikness of the plague and pestilence."

Old King Coul was a merry old soul, And a jolly old soul was he ; Old King Coul he had a brown bowl, And they brought him in fiddlers three. EDINBURGH: THOMAS G. STEVENSON, HISTORICAL AND ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLER, 87 PRINCES STREET. MDCCCXLVII. — ; — CFTMS IVCRSI1 c INTRODUCTION. Renfrewshire has her Harp—why not Ayrshire her Lyre ? The land that gave birth to Burns may well claim the distinction of a separate Re- pository for the Ballads and Songs which belong to it. In this, the First Series, it has been the chief object of the Editor to gather together the older lyrical productions connected with the county, intermixed with a slight sprinkling of the more recent, by way of lightsome variation. The aim of the work is to collect those pieces, ancient and modern, which, scattered throughout various publications, are inaccessible to many readers ; and to glean from, oral recitation the floating relics of a former age that still exist in living remembrance, as well as to supply such in- formation respecting the subject or author as maybe deemed interesting. The songs of Burns—save, perhaps, a few of the more rare—having been already collected in numerous editions, and consequently well known, will form no part of the Repository. In distinguishing the Ballads and Songs of Ayrshire, the Editor has been, and will be, guided by the connec- tion they have with the district, either as to the author or subject ; and now that the First Series is before the public, he trusts that, whatever may be its defects, the credit at least will be given Jiim of aiming, how- ever feebly, at the construction of a lasting monument of the lyrical literature of Ayrshire.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.

November is traditionally a time to pray especially for all the faithful who have died. The month begins with the great Feast of All Saints, followed immediately by “All Souls”, when the Mass and all the Liturgy of the day is offered as a prayer to God for all who have gone before us “marked with the sign of faith”. The transition from the Liturgy of All Saints to the Liturgy of All Souls is dramatic: festive celebration and white vestments on All Saints, black vestments and the sombre, even mournful character of the Liturgy of All Souls. This is not, I think, meant primarily to express a change of mood, though of course our sentiments will be affected. If the liturgy were seeking to express our feelings, I think we would want to celebrate the two days in reverse: we would first contemplate the darkness of death, then raise our spirits by celebrating our glorious new life in Christ.

  • Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland in August 14-26, 2014: Journal of Lyle Dunbar
    Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland in August 14-26, 2014: Journal of Lyle Dunbar Introduction The Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland from August 14-26, 2014, was organized for Clan Dunbar members with the primary objective to visit sites associated with the Dunbar family history in Scotland. This Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland focused on Dunbar family history at sites in southeast Scotland around Dunbar town and Dunbar Castle, and in the northern highlands and Moray. Lyle Dunbar, a Clan Dunbar member from San Diego, CA, participated in both the 2014 tour, as well as a previous Clan Dunbar 2009 Tour of Scotland, which focused on the Dunbar family history in the southern border regions of Scotland, the northern border regions of England, the Isle of Mann, and the areas in southeast Scotland around the town of Dunbar and Dunbar Castle. The research from the 2009 trip was included in Lyle Dunbar’s book entitled House of Dunbar- The Rise and Fall of a Scottish Noble Family, Part I-The Earls of Dunbar, recently published in May, 2014. Part I documented the early Dunbar family history associated with the Earls of Dunbar from the founding of the earldom in 1072, through the forfeiture of the earldom forced by King James I of Scotland in 1435. Lyle Dunbar is in the process of completing a second installment of the book entitled House of Dunbar- The Rise and Fall of a Scottish Noble Family, Part II- After the Fall, which will document the history of the Dunbar family in Scotland after the fall of the earldom of Dunbar in 1435, through the mid-1700s, when many Scots, including his ancestors, left Scotland for America.
