The original letters, preferved at Newbattle Abbey, had remained undifcovered during the long minority of the late Marquefs of Lothian, otherwife they would probably have been printed many years ago, as fearches were made with this obje6l, but without refult. About the year 1858 it was propofed to have the Library at Newbattle Abbey examined and re-arranged preparatory to forming a new catalogue, and the late Marquefs having confulted me on the fubjeft, I fuggefted that, as I could not perfonally undertake it, the work might yet be done under my fuperintendence, by ]\Ir. Alex- ander Orrock junior, who had been one of my affiftants in the Signet Library. It was while that work was ftill in progrefs that his Lordfliip brought under my notice, along with feveral valuable manufcripts and — ii Preface. printed books, the colleftion of Original Letters/ which had been Separated from the Library, and removed, evidently for greater fecu- rity, to a fecret clofet in his ftudy, early in the prefent century, by William, fixth Marquefs of Lothian, who had taken much intereft in all matters connefled with literature and hiflory.^ A portion of thefe Letters had previoufly been bound in three volumes, fele6led out of a confiderable number of others which remained folded and tied up in feparate packets. Thefe the late Marquefs, from time to time, examined and docqueted, but foon found it would be defirable to have the entire colleftion arranged and claffified. This I willingly undertook at his Lordfhip's requeft, and they now form a feries of fixteen volumes, handfomely bound in morocco, befides two fmaller volumes of Mifcellaneous Papers. They are arrangfed as follows : I, Royal Letters Preface. Hi accomplifhed fcholar. His cultivated tafte in art as well as litera- ture is exemplified in a volume, printed anonymoufly for private circulation, with the title of " Fragment of a parallel between the Hiflory, Literature, and Art of Italy in the Middle Ages:" Edinb. 1863, poft 8vo, pp. 478; and alfo by the publication, during the Civil War in America, of " The Confederate Seceffion :" Edinb. 1864, poft 8vo, pp. 226 — a work which, written at intervals during ill-health, is held in great eftimation by the people of the Southern States. If his Lordfhip had not been proflrated by a ferious and long-continued illnefs, it is very probable, from his literary habits, and the great interefl taken by him in the old family letters and papers, that he himfelf would have undertaken the taflc of feledling, illuftrating, and publifhing the Correfpondence of his anceftors in fome definite form. The prefent Marquefs foon after his acceffion contributed to the Roxburghe Club, in his brother's name, a metrical French romance entitled " Floriant et Florete," edited by M. Francifque-Michel, from a unique manufcript of the fourteenth century, preferved in the Library at Newbattle Abbey. His Lordfhip alfo propofed to prefent to the fame Club a feries of the Letters contained in the prefent volumes. Knowing the interefl that I took in thefe matters, and that his brother had confulted me upon the fubjeft, his Lordfhip wifhed that I fhould undertake to edit this Work. Averfe as I naturally was to come under frefli obligations, having actually on my hands more work of a like kind than I can ever expedl to accomplifh, I could not well decline, as his Lordfhip propofed that copies fliould be prefented to the furvlving Members of the Bannatyne Club, of which I had been Honorary Secretary during the whole period of its exiftence fince the year 1823, and of which both his father and brother, Marqueffes of Lothian, had been members. It will not be neceffary to enter here upon the hiftory of the various branches of the Kerr Family. All indeed that may be required, for illuftrating the prefent volumes, is to colIe6l the chief fafts relating to Sir Robert Kerr, firft Earl of Ancram, and his eldeft iv Preface. fon William, third Earl of Lothian, to whofe correfpondence they exclufively relate. The accompanying tables, however, may be ufeful to fhow at a glance how fome portions of the family branched out from, or became merged into, one another during the fixteenth and the following centuries. From the very extenfive and valuable feries of Portraits in the Gallery of Newbattle Abbey, the Marquefs of Lothian has fele6led thofe which feemed moft fuitable for illuftrations to thefe volumes. The biographical introduction is divided into two parts ; but the Letters are arranged in chronological order from their mutual connexion, and fuch explanatory notes as feem to be required have been added. That the entire Ancram Correfpondence has not been preferved is much to be regretted, as the Letters written by or addreffed to him during the firft quarter of the century might have proved of an interefting literary chara6ler. Thofe of the next quarter contained in thefe volumes are, however, fufficient both in number . and importance to illuflrate the refpeftive chara6lers of the Earls of Ancram and of Lothian, while placed in apparent oppofition to each other in matters connedled with the hiflory of the period. The one, having been attached to the houfehold of King Charles the Firft for the greater part of his life, had rendered long and faithful fervice with the beft feelings of a courtier ; the other, in a more aflive courfe of life, and influenced by patriotic and high-minded principle, had appeared in oppofition to the Royalift party, without either of them lofing thofe affectionate and refpedlful feelings^f devoted attachment fo apparent in every letter that has been difcovered. I cannot conclude without flating that in preparing thefe volumes for the prefs I was fortunate in having the affiftance of Mr. Alex- ander Orrock junior, not only in feeing that the original Letters were accurately tranfcribed and collated, and fupplying the Indexes, but alfo in collecting materials required for the two Memoirs, which, for want of time, I could not perfonally undertake.

A study of how the Kennedys extended their influence across south-west Scotland and acquired an earldom has never been undertaken. This thesis aims to fill the significant gap in our understanding of how lordship operated in this region. In particular, analysis of the interactions between the Kennedys and the earls of Carrick, usually the monarch or his heir, demonstrates that the key factor in their success was their policy of close alignment and support of the crown.

  • Diplomatic, Political, Educational and Military Connections Existed Between Scots, Scotland and the Rest of Europe
    SCOTTISH TRAVELLERS ABROAD, 1660-1688 Diplomatic, political, educational and military connections existed between Scots, Scotland and the rest of Europe. This paper concentrates on the connections fostered between Scots and the European continent by travel. A great number of young gentlemen travellers left the British isles to travel abroad during the reigns of Charles II and James II. Young British gentlemen travelled for many and varied reasons. Many travelled for their education, often in company with a tutor. Rarely did a Briton travel in an area totally lacking in support networks of friends and social contacts; continental Europe was awash with members of Britain's ruling elite who travelled together or formed enclaves in almost every major town and city throughout western Europe. Much has been written on the subject of the British tourist abroad. By 'British' most scholars have meant 'English'. Where discussions of Scots have occurred these have usually been as an adjunct to, or an extension of, constructs associated with the English travel experience. Similarly, so great an emphasis has been placed upon the 'Grand Tour' of the eighteenth century that the travelling networks and experiences of the late seventeenth century have often been treated as a mere preamble to the better established routes of the following century. The disposition and personality of Scottish travellers in this period ranged from the strongly anti-English, pro-French Walter Scot, Earl of Tarras, to the anglophile James Douglas Hamilton, Earl of Arran. Scottish travellers were exclusively male, though many Scottish women lived abroad on a permanent basis. I Whatever their proclivities it was the duty and pleasure of all young noblemen to traveJ.2 The appeal of travel was further increased by the fact that Scots, all over the European continent, had little trouble finding co-religionists and other Britons of comparable social status wherever they travelled.
