Remember Those From Whom You Came Newsletter Of The Clan MacAlpine Society The Worldwide Organization For MacAlpines 2nd Quarter 2020 ~ Volume 48 Commander’s News “The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley” . Robert Burns We all share the distress of loss of life, the economic shutdown, loss of employment, feelings of isolation, disruption of vacation and travel plans and the many, many unknowns that are in front of us. I might make a suggestion during this time of isolation. Post your favorite snapshot of Scotland to our FB page, or make your favorite Scottish recipe (mine is crannachan) and share it with us. Have a dram of whisky. Listen to some Scottish CD's (New Zealand’s Steve MacDonald’s Sons of Somerled would be my choice or Patricia Roberts from Stirling, or Tartan Chillout). Watch a Scottish movie, Local Hero is a great one, if you have Netflix, a couple of episodes of Still Game will get you hooked. Research that ancestor that has been a roadblock, get your DNA tested. Learn a few phrases in Scots Gaelic, (Duolingo does a nice job), write an article about your ancestor for the newsletter. With travel being discontinued, and all planned activities in peril, there is still much to be thank- ful for. Alba gu bràth Yours Aye, Commander: Michael T.

The 5Th Earl of Argyll and Mary, Queen of Scots
THE FIFTH EARL OF ARGYLL AND MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS When Mary, Queen of Scots' name is linked to that of a man most people think immediately of high romance and passion, or even murder and rape, with a large dollop of tragedy thrown in. Three husbands had come and gone by the time Mary was twenty-five and during her long dreary single years in an English prison there was still continuous intrigue and speculation about a fourth. But the tragedy and Victorian-style melodrama of her marriages to Francis II, who died as a teenager in 1560, Darnley, who was murdered in 1567, and Bothwell, who fled Scotland in 1568, went mad in a Danish prison and died in 1578, have overshadowed the less-highly charged relationships she had with the Scottish nobles of her court. One of the most important of these was the affectionate friendship with her brother- in-law, the fifth earl of Argyll. Archibald Campbell, the 5th earl was not much older than Mary herself. He was probably born in 1538 so would have been only four years old in the dramatic year of 1542. It witnessed the birth of Mary on 8 December and, within a week, the death of her father, James V [1513-42], which made her ruler of Scotland. A regency was established with Mary as titular queen, but the main struggle for power was between those Scots who favoured the alliance with France and those who wanted friendship with England. The key issue was whether the young Queen would marry a French or an English prince. -

Scotland’s medieval archaeology is extremely rich. Through its improved understanding, study and conservation, fascinating and critical aspects of the past can be explored, such as the development of towns, the arrival and integration of new peoples, how people farmed the land, and the development of political and religious systems. These multi-dimensional stories are played out at various levels: local, regional, national and international (principally but not solely European). Some of the issues and challenges faced by people then are equally familiar today, some will seem strange and exotic, and they fuse together in an intricate story that is the root from which modern Scotland has grown. -

Downloadable Guidebook
2019 JULY 7-13 JULY 14-20 Lowlands Highlands Guidebook Welcome to Your Scotland Adventure! We are embarking on a remarkable expedition through our spiritual heritage and—in many cases—our actual genealogical roots. History is a series of past events, great and small, orchestrated by God, in fulfilling His plans and purposes for the redemption of His people, for their good and His own glory. In our time together, we will find evidence of God’s hand at work throughout Scotland’s rich past. The expansion of Christ’s kingdom is one of the key elements of the past, present and future. As we discover the men and women that God used powerfully to give Scotland worldwide impact, we will glean great understanding and encouragement for our lives today. Defense of family, clan and nation are also central to understanding the past. Here again, no country is more instructive than Scotland in her castles, battlefields and regimental museums. Prepare to clamber over the battlements and learn of the leadership and courage that oozes from the history of these places. Our hope is that, as we tour Scotland, we would join the Psalmist in drawing holy comfort and confidence as he did when he observed God’s hand throughout his own life and nation. “Walk about Zion and go around her; Count her towers; Consider her ramparts; Go through her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation. For such is God, Our God forever and ever; He will guide us until death.” May it be so. At your service, Kevin Turley Bill Potter Colin Gunn President Historian Historian DAY 1 Edinburgh Castle Lowlands This magnificent and historic castle towers over Edinburgh and can be seen from anywhere in the city. -
A New Jerusalem `At the Ends of the Earth': Interpreting Charles Thomas's Excavations at Iona Abbey 1956-63

First published online June A NEW JERUSALEM ‘AT THE ENDS OF THE EARTH’: INTERPRETING CHARLES THOMAS’S EXCAVATIONS AT IONA ABBEY – Ewan Campbell and Adrián Maldonado Ewan Campbell, School of Humanities, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. Email: [email protected] Adrián Maldonado, National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh EH1 1JF, UK. Email: [email protected] Iona was a major European intellectual and artistic centre during the seventh to ninth centuries, with outstanding illustrated manuscripts, sculpture and religious writings produced there, despite its apparently peripheral location ‘at the ends of the earth’. Recent theological discourse has emphas- ised the leading role of Iona, and particularly its ninth abbot, Adomnán, in developing the meta- phor of the earthly monastery as a mirror of heavenly Jerusalem, allowing us to suggest a new appreciation of the innovative monastic layout at Iona and its influence on other monasteries in northern Britain. The authors contend that the unique paved roadway and the schematic layout of the early church, shrine chapel and free-standing crosses were intended to evoke Jerusalem, and that the journey to the sacred heart of the site mirrored a pilgrim’s journey to the tomb of Christ. The key to this transformative understanding is Charles Thomas’s 1956–63 campaign of excava- tions on Iona, which this article is publishing for the first time.
