  • 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.

    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

Service provision is decentralised in order to promote information sharing and meet local needs more efficiently and effectively. Each administrative area has a local Community Planning Group (CPG) and a Community Planning Officer working alongside Community Planning Partners within the overarching framework of Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership (CPP). Aberdeenshire CPP also utilises a community engagement strategy to promote and support strong, active and inclusive communities that are both informed and actively involved in decision- making. The Formartine Community Planning Group was established in 2006, bringing together representatives from the organisations, services and communities who are active within the local area. The administrative area covers 319 square miles with over 39,000 residents. Formartine is further broken down into three Wards, Turriff and District, Mid-Formartine and Ellon and District, covered by eleven Elected Members. The CPG is facilitated by Aberdeenshire Council, with partners including the Formartine Partnership, Aberdeenshire CVS Central and South, Grampian Fire and Rescue Service, NHS Grampian, Grampian Police, Community Safety and representatives from local communities. Since 2008 the Formartine CPG has worked towards the aims and objectives set out in the Local Community Plan. The Local Community Plan is frequently updated and amended to reflect the changing priorities of the community.

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.
