By the 15th century the abbey was increasingly being used as a royal residence – James II was born there in 1430 - and by the time of the Protestant Reformation (1560) much of the monastic precinct had been subsumed into the embryonic Palace of Holyroodhouse.

  • Cambuskenneth Abbey and Its Estate: Lands, Resources and Rights
    Cambuskenneth Abbey and Its Estate: Lands, Resources and Rights Richard Oram Of the monasteries of the various continental religious orders founded by King David I (1124-53), Cambuskenneth Abbey is one of the least well known and least well understood. Some reasons for this relative obscurity are obvious: beyond the magnificent thirteenth-century bell-tower which survives to its full height, the abbey lacks the impressive architectural remains such as draw visitors to Jedburgh or Melrose and which stimulate interest amongst scholars of architectural history. There is only so much enthusiasm that can be generated by a series of low walls and foundations. One consequence of this absence of popular interest, however, has been an associated lack of modern scholarly interest in the abbey and its history. A further deterrent to research may lie in the rather dismissive treatment given to the abbey’s documentary record. Although the form in which the bulk of those records survives – a 1535 copy of the original texts gathered into a single register, each authenticated by the Clerk Register and the whole volume confirmed by the great seal of King James V1 – is widely recognised as a unique document and of great interest for the light which it sheds on early renaissance legal practice in Scotland, its contents have been labelled as ‘a little disappointing’.2 Admittedly, when compared with the contents of some cartularies – such as those of Arbroath, Dunfermline, Kelso, Melrose or Paisley – there is at first sight little material that illustrates Cambuskenneth’s place in national or regional history, or on its place in the society and economy of central Scotland.

It is not a history of the abbey and does not attempt to provide a narrative of its institutional development, its place in Scottish history, or of the men who led and directed its operations from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. There is a rich historical narrative embedded in the surviving record but the short period of research upon which this document reports did not permit the writing of a full historical account. While the physical structure that is the abbey lies at the heart of the following account, it does not offer an architectural analysis of the surviving remains but it does interpret the remains where the documentary record permits parts of the fabric or elements of the complex to be identified. This focus on the abbey precinct has produced some significant evidence for the daily life of the community over the four centuries of its corporate existence, with detail recovered for ritual and burial in the abbey church, routines in the cloister, through to the process of supplying the convent with its food, drink and clothing.

    AYRSHIRE MONOGRAPHS NO.25 The Street Names of Ayr Rob Close Published by Ayrshire Archaeological and Natural History Society First published 2001 Printed by The Cromwell Press Ltd, Trowbridge, Wiltshire Rob Close is the author of Ayrshire and Arran: An Illustrated Architectural Guide (1992), and is presently co-editor of Ayrshire Notes. He has also contributed articles to Scottish Local History, Scottish Brewing Archive and other journals. He lives near Drongan with his long-suffering partner, Joy. In 1995 he was one half of the Scottish Handicap Doubles Croquet Champions. Cover design by David McClure. 1SBN 0 9527445 9 7 THE STREET NAMES OF AYR 1 INTRODUCTION Names have an important role in our lives: names of people, names of places, and names of things. In an enclosed, small community, these names remain informal, but as the community grows, and as travel and movement become commoner, then more formalised names are required, names which will prevent confusion. Formal and informal names can exist alongside one another. During the course of preparing this book, I agreed to meet some friends on the road between ‘Nick’s place’ and ‘the quarry’: that we met successfully was due to the fact that we all recognised and understood these informal place names. However, to a different cohort of people, ‘Nick’s place’ is known as ‘the doctor’s house’, while had we been arranging this rendezvous with people unfamiliar with the area, we would have had to fall back upon more formal place names, names with a wider currency, names with ‘public’ approval, whether conferred by the local authority, the Post Office or the Ordnance Survey.
