SCOT. INTRODUCTION Wodrow relates1 that Mr. Ridpath2 informed him that he had been ‘ imployed by Secretary Johnstoun to goe throu his ‘ father, my Lord Wariston’s papers, and put them in order; ‘ which he spent severall dayes and weeks upon. That amongst ‘ other papers of the greatest value to the Church of Scotland, ‘ he fell upon my Lord Wariston’s Dyary, which he sayes he read ‘ over. There is a great deal of it, and all bound up in differ- ‘ ent boundels. It conteans many valuable passages with ‘ relation to the history of these times, noe where else to be ‘ found.’ Secretary Johnston lived during the latter years of his life at Twickenham, and died in May 1737. What became of his papers after his death is not known ; and probably his father’s Diary is irretrievably lost. A fragment has fortunately been preserved in a separate manuscript volume. It covers the short period of thirty-six days, from the 21st of May to the 25th of June 1639, and contains the details of the nego- tiations which ended in the pacification of Berwick, and the conclusion of the first Bishops’ War. The manuscript was submitted to this Society by its owner, Mr. Maxtone Graham of Cultoquhey and Redgorton, the nephew and heir of the late Mr. Robert Graham of Balgowan, 1 2 Analecta, ii. 218. Mr. George Ridpath was a well-known political writer in the reigns of King William in. and Queen Anne. He was the translator from the Latin ms. of Sir Thomas Craig’s Treatise against the Right of the Crown of England to Homage from the Kingdom of Scotland, 1695, which he dedicated to Secretary Johnston ; and he was the author of an Account of the Rights and Powers of the Parliament of Scotland, 1705, to which Secretary Johnston is said to have written the Preface.—Atwood’s The Scotch Patriot Unmasked, 1705 ; Wodrow, Analecta, ii. 267. See also Carstares’ State Papers, 216. A 2 JOHNSTON OF WARISTON’S DIARY in whose library it was found. Nothing is known of its history prior to its discovery in Mr. Graham’s library. It is contained in a small folio which is bound in white vellum, eleven and a half inches long, by eight and three quarters broad, and has attached to it the roots of four vellum strings or ties. The volume is written from both ends—the Diary being written from one end, and some interesting miscellaneous notes and papers from the other. On the front page of this end is written in Wariston’s handwriting, 4 The names of the books qh. I taik to the airmee with me.’ Then follow: 1. 4 Memorandum of paperis takine with me to the Campe in 4 July 1640.’ 2. 4 The new and constant plote of planting 4 the whole kirks of Scotland penned to be presented to the 4 Kinge and the estaits in anno 1596.’ This extends to eleven and a half closely written pages. 3. 4 Ane schort note 4 of the decisiones and interloquitors given be the Lords of 4 Counsell since the moneth of Januar 1619.’ The latest date is 30th July 1646. The cases are arranged in alphabetical order according to the subjects, and are reported very briefly. There are sundry markings on the margin in Wariston’s hand- writing. This digest occupies ninety-seven pages. 4. Notes from ‘the books of the register of Session beginning 4th February 1531,’ and ending on 1st February 1545. This occupies sixteen pages. 5. Papers relating to the scheme for 4 the erecting of a comon fishing ’ for England and Scotland in 1630. They contain notes upon the Fishery Laws of some of the Continental nations. 6. Some notes entitled 4 Avisandum anent the Union.’ 7. Acts and orders of the Commissioners for administration of justice in Scotland, 27th June 1655 to 8th November 1656. The Diary, which is the only writing from the other end of the book, is written in a small but neat and legible seventeenth century hand. It is not that of Wariston, but it is abundantly clear from internal evidence that the Diary was his. During the whole of the eventful period, from the uprising INTRODUCTION 3 of the Scottish people against the Service Book and the Bishops in 1637 until the Restoration, Sir Archibald John- ston of Wariston (Lord Wariston) was in the very front rank of the Presbyterian party. He was perhaps the most remark- able Scotsman of that very troubled period of British history. The family to which he belonged seems to have been an offshoot from the noble house of Annandale.1 He has been described as a son of James Johnston of Beirholm in Dumfries- shire, but that was not so. In 1608 James Johnestoun, who is described as ‘ of Beirholme,’ was served heir of Gavin Johne- stoun ‘in’ (i.e. tenant of) ‘Kirkton of Kirkpatrick Juxta’ in Dumfriesshire, his grandfather, and heir of his father, ‘ James Johnestoun, in1 (i.e. tenant of) ‘ Midilgill.’2 Neither grand- father nor father is described as ‘ of'Beirholm.’ How or when James Johnston became possessed of Beirholm does not appear, but it seems clear that he did not inherit it from either of them. And from what follows it will be seen that he was not Wariston’s father, although he may have been a relation. Archibald Johnestoun (Wariston’s grandfather) was a native of Kirkpatrick Juxta. By his will3 he left ‘ ane hundreth ‘ merks to help the repairing and completing of ye kirk callit ‘ Kirkpatrick Juxta, where my predecessors’ bonis lyes.’ This Archibald Johnestoun was an eminent merchant and leading citizen of Edinburgh during a considerable part of the reign of James vi. On 22nd April 1589 the King wrote to Archibald Douglas, thanking him ‘ for his services in behalf of ‘ Archibald Johnestoun, son-in-law of the Provost of Edin- ‘ burgh ’; 4 and on 31st May 1595, he wrote to Queen Elizabeth 1 He, as well as his uncle Johnston of Hilton in Berwickshire, carried the principal arms of the Annandale family, but for a difference engrailed the saltier.—Nisbet, i. 144 ; The British Herald, by Robson, vol. ii. voce Johnston. The Editor unfortunately did not see The Annandale Family Book, by Sir William Fraser, K.C.B., until this Introduction was written. Portions of Wariston’s family history which follow, and which have been collected from the original2 sources, will be found in that work.

JOHNSTON OF WARISTON’S DIARY soliciting her good offices with reference to a suit in which Archibald Johnestoun was engaged before her Council.1 Bishop Burnet, his great-grandson, described him as ‘ the greatest merchant’ of his time, and said that he left to his wife an estate of J?2000 a year, a large fortune in those days, ‘ to be disposed of among his children as she pleased.’2 By his will he bequeathed a legacy to the University of Edinburgh, which still has a bursary of J?ll, 2s. 2d. sterling, a year, bearing his name.3 His wife was Rachel Arnot, a daughter of Sir John Arnot of Birswick, who was Lord Provost of Edinburgh from 1587 till 1589, and for some years Treasurer-Depute, and a Privy Councillor. Sir John Arnot is said by Burnet to have been e a man in great favour.’4 Rachel Arnot died on 20th March 1626.5 Archibald Johnestoun and Rachel Arnot had three sons and two daughters, viz.: 1.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

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.

This paper provides a summary of the long history of warfare and conflict in Scotland which has given rise to a large number of battlefield sites. Recent moves to highlight the archaeological importance of these sites, in the form of Historic Scotland’s Battlefields Inventory are discussed, along with some of the problems associated with the preservation and management of these important cultural sites. 2 Keywords Battlefields; Conflict Archaeology; Management 3 Introduction Battlefield archaeology is a relatively recent development within the field of historical archaeology, which, in the UK at least, has itself not long been established within the archaeological mainstream. Within the present context it is noteworthy that Scotland has played an important role in this process, with the first international conference devoted to battlefield archaeology taking place at the University of Glasgow in 2000 (Freeman and Pollard, 2001).

  • 1 Print Culture, State Formation and an Anglo-Scottish Public, 1640-1648
    Print culture, state formation and an Anglo-Scottish public, 1640-1648 Jason Peacey The civil war newsbook the Scotish Dove – which appeared weekly from the London press of Laurence Chapman between October 1643 and the end of 1646 – has recently been described as the voice of the Scottish interest, and even as the “first Scottish newspaper.” It is said to have prompted “a consistently and resolutely Scottish perspective,” and one of its prime aims is said to have been to “describe, defend, celebrate and when necessary apologise for” the Scots and the army of the covenant. Commentators agree that this involved “cloying piety” and “unpleasantness,” and that its author was “a blue nose, a Puritan in the worst sense of the word,” even if they might not all go as far as to suggest that it was the mouthpiece for the Scottish commissioners in London, or that it represented “effective public relations” for the Scottish political and religious agenda.1 It has proved tempting, in other words, to see the Dove as part of a wider story which centres upon the Scots as aggressive appropriators and exploiters of print culture, and as being peculiarly interested in, and capable of, using texts to reach out to different groups in different countries. According to this version of the “print revolution,” the “explosion” of print that occurred in the mid-seventeenth century involved “a forest fire, started in Edinburgh,” and one of “the most systematic and concerted campaigns hitherto attempted by a foreign power to bombard a separate kingdom with propaganda, thereby using the printed word to manipulate political opinion and fundamentally to alter the 1 A.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. SIR WALTER SCOTT’S TEMPLAR CONSTRUCT – A STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY INFLUENCES ON HISTORICAL PERCEPTIONS. A THESIS PRESENTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY AT MASSEY UNIVERSITY, EXTRAMURAL, NEW ZEALAND. JANE HELEN WOODGER 2017 1 ABSTRACT Sir Walter Scott was a writer of historical fiction, but how accurate are his portrayals? The novels Ivanhoe and Talisman both feature Templars as the antagonists. Scott’s works display he had a fundamental knowledge of the Order and their fall. However, the novels are fiction, and the accuracy of some of the author’s depictions are questionable. As a result, the novels are more representative of events and thinking of the early nineteenth century than any other period. The main theme in both novels is the importance of unity and illustrating the destructive nature of any division. The protagonists unify under the banner of King Richard and the Templars pursue a course of independence. Scott’s works also helped to formulate notions of Scottish identity, Freemasonry (and their alleged forbearers the Templars) and Victorian behaviours. However, Scott’s image is only one of a long history of Templars featuring in literature over the centuries. Like Scott, the previous renditions of the Templars are more illustrations of the contemporary than historical accounts. One matter for unease in the early 1800s was religion and Catholic Emancipation.
