The field in the arms of Bishop Brown, as illuminated in Myln's Lives of the Bishops of Dunkeld, is sable, and the charges argent. Sir Robert Forman, Lyon King of Arms, in his Roll of Arms sent to Queen Mary before her arrival in Scotland, says—"Gules, a cheveron between three fleurs-de-lis argent." Neither at Fordell nor Finmount are there any representations on stone of the bearings of their owners of the surname of Brown; and the churches and burial-grounds at Arngask and Kinglassie, the parishes in which these estates are situated, contain no monuments to members of the family. ORIGIN. This family is descended from ancestors settled in the north of Scotland at a very early period, also holding lands in the counties of Ayr and Berwick. Although the charges on their shield are the same as those carried by the Brouns of Colstoun in East Lothian, the tincture of the field is different, and no community of origin has been proved. Richard Brun sat on an assize at Elgin, of which place A 2 HISTORY OF THE FAMILY OF he was an inhabitant, in 1261. There is no evidence to connect him with the family of which we treat. I. William Brun witnessed a charter of Donald, Earl of Mar, 1272-1294. II. 1 Adam Brown was killed in 1298, at the battle of Falkirk. He held the lands of Carchrony, in Aberdeenshire, from the Bishop of Aberdeen. In 1265, William Cumyn of Kilbryde, Sheriff of Ayrshire, charges payments made to Adam de Bruning, going to Ireland on the King's business. III. Adam Brown held lands in the county of Ayr, which, on his forfeiture, were granted to William Lindsay, canon of Glasgow, by Robert I., 1306-1329. The same king confirms the gift of Adam Brown to the altar of St. Michael, in the parish church of Ayr, and grants the lands of Aughindraive, in that shire, forfeited by Robert Broun, probably son or brother of Adam, to Henry Annan. In 1328-29, Henry Brounyng, or Henry filius Bronyng, appears in the Chamberlain Rolls as one of the household of the Queen, deceased. IV. Sir John Brune, Sheriff of the county of Aberdeen, 1328, and farmer of the burgh of Fyvie. 2 1333, June 4. —Dominus Johannes Brune, miles, is foreman of an assize at Aberdeen, to consider the claim of Reginald de Rane to the lands of Ledintoscach and Rotmase. 3 Shortly before this he witnessed a charter of Donald, Earl of Mar, who died in 1332. Sir John had a charter of the thanedom of Formartine, in the county of Aberdeen, from Robert the First. He also possessed the lands of Terpersie. The last of the Raciones ad informandum perambulatores limitum inter terras episcopi Aberdonensis et domini de Forbes is, " Item, Ser Jone Broun, knycht, held quhilom the landis of Tirepressy, of the bischope and the kirk of Aberdene, and that time he had his shepcotis and 2 1 The earlier generations of the pedigree are Exchequer Rolls of Scotiand, clxxxi, 107, numbered consecutively for convenience, but the 355, 419. 3 filiation is not proved.

The frequent occurrence of the names of members of the house of Mar along with those of this family is remarkable, and seems to indicate a relationship.

  • 2. New Calton
    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey for Canongate Kirkyard 2. New Calton 3.1. Background New Calton was opened 1817 by the Incorporated Trades of Calton, a society that operated within the hamlet of Calton, to the east of Edinburgh1. The burial ground was made up of land that was sold to the Incorporated Trades by Edinburgh Town Council in 18162, in addition to land given in lieu of ground taken away from Old Calton burial ground, during the development of Waterloo Place.3 There were a number of conditions attached to the sale of this new burial ground, which determined its placement, use and access. Two of these are relevant to the development of this site. These were: 1. The ground sold is to be occupied solely as burying ground and to be converted to no other use or purpose. 2. The northern boundary is not to come nearer to the new road than thirty feet having an entrance from said new road of twenty feet wide in such convenient situation as shall be mutually agreed on.4 In addition, it was to be located so that it was ‘out of view’ of the new housing development to be carried out higher up the hill on Regent Terrace as part of the third New Town and in order for it to be out of view of the first New Town to the west of the hill.5 The first interments in New Calton were the numerous bodies brought from the displaced part of the Old Calton Burial ground6. These are now found in the northern part of the site, near the entrance.

  • The Church in Sixteenth-Century Glasgow
    Servants to St. Mungo: The Church in Sixteenth-Century Glasgow by Daniel MacLeod A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Daniel MacLeod, May, 2013 ABSTRACT SERVANTS TO ST MUNGO: THE CHURCH IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY GLASGOW Daniel MacLeod Advisors: University of Guelph, 2013 Dr. Elizabeth Ewan Dr. Peter Goddard This thesis investigates religious life in Glasgow, Scotland in the sixteenth century. As the first full length study of the town’s Christian community in this period, this thesis makes use of the extant Church documents to examine how Glaswegians experienced Christianity during the century in which religious change was experienced by many communities in Western Europe. This project includes research from both before and after 1560, the year of the Reformation Parliament in Scotland, and therefore eschews traditional divisions used in studies of this kind that tend to view 1560 as a major rupture for Scotland’s religious community. Instead, this study reveals the complex relationships between continuity and change in Glasgow, showing a vibrant Christian community in the early part of the century and a changed but similarly vibrant community at the century’s end. This project attempts to understand Glasgow’s religious community holistically. It investigates the institutional structures of the Church through its priests and bishops as well as the popular devotions of its parishioners. It includes examinations of the sacraments, Church discipline, excommunication and religious ritual, among other Christian phenomena. The dissertation follows many of these elements from their medieval Catholic roots through to their Reformed Protestant derivations in the latter part of the century, showing considerable links between the traditions.
