    In re Dundas Family Pedigree of Jane Dundas White Born May 27, 1919 As far as the same has to do with the Dundas Family and its earlier female lines. May 27, 1922 ThePedigree ofJane Dundas White, born May 27, .1919, as far as the same has to. do with the Dundas Family, and of its earlier Female Lines. HE first person to use "Dundas'" as his family name T was Uthred, second Son of Cospatricius, First Earl of March. This Uthred lived during the reign of King David I ( 1124-53) and obtained from his Uncle Waldevus, the lands and barony of Du.ndas in West Lothian, includ­ ing D_undas Castle. His ancestors on the male side are herein traced to Crinian, who was "A man of the first "rank and quality and head of one of the greatest and most "opulent families in ·the North of England. _He flourished "about the end of the Tenth Century." Douglas' Peer­ ages, page 437.· Crinian''s son was Maldredus, and he mar­ ried Algatha the grand-daughter of Ethelred, King of Eng­ land from 979 to 1016, surnamed the "Unready." Al­ gatha's ancestry can be traced back to 90 B. C. and is herein set out. The authorities principally relied on are two, viz:- J ames Anderson, "Royal Genealogies from Adam to 1732," printed in London in 1732, and the two volumes by Sir Robert Douglas, one called "The Peerages of Scot­ "land" published in 1764, and the other "The Baronages of "Scotland" published in 1798.

  • The Ancient Sundials of Scotland Andrew R Somerville*
    Proc SocAntiq Scot, 117 (1987), 233-264, fiche 3: A2-G14 The ancient sundials of Scotland Andrew R Somerville* SUMMARY Scotland has a rich heritage of Renaissance' sundials which are more numerous than in any other country. These are free-standing stone sculptures dating from the 17th and early 18th centuries, with many dials inscribed on them, often in shapes which may have symbolic significance. A catalogue has been prepared including those which have been recorded in the past and have now disappeared, as well as those which still survive. The various types are described and comparisons made with those in other countries, showing the unique character of the Scottish style. The reasons for their appearance in Scotland at this time are first of all material: more stable government and increased prosperity led to the building of mansion houses with pleasure gardens. Secondly, the Calvinist philosophy of the time frowned on decoration for its own sake and required function as well. Thirdly, interest in science was increasing, along with the Renaissance interest in re-discovering the esoteric knowledge of the ancients. In addition, freemasonry may have had its beginnings in Scotland in the late 16th century and certainly assumed considerable importance in the 17th; this is unlikely to be mere coincidence and the dials probably had a significance which went well beyond simple time-keeping. The main listing of the catalogue is given in microfiche form, but summaries are printed. CONTENTS PRINTED SECTION Introduction ............... 234 Description of the dials ............. 235 History and continental influences ........... 246 Symbolism ............... 251 Conclusions ............... 254 The Catalogue .............

Created some time between 1877 and 1881 by the barely thirty-year old Stephen Adam in collaboration with David Small, his partner in the studio he opened in Glasgow in 1870, these panels are unique among stained glass works of the time in that they depict the workers of the then independent burgh not for the most part in the practice of traditional trades (baker, weaver, flesher, cooper, hammerman, etc.) (see Pt.

  • West Lothian
    A FLORISTI CAL AND ECOLOGICAL SURVEY OF WEST LOTHIAN BY MARY. M. B. S EATON, B. SC. m '03 A SURVEY Or THE FLORA OF WEST LOTHIAN. r1 A! ,!.'! !!.r! =100.. 111..l.! IMIEMO! r ]01rr! 1. ECOLOGY. In this paper an atteelpt is made to give a general outline of the flora and the main plant associations of West Lothian; to correlate these with the geological, topographical, and climatic features; and to show the varying effects of Man's var-ring activities in mod if -ring them. Since the surve7 was limited to two 'rears' field work it was not possible to adduce direct evidence of progression or retrogression within the different plant associations. It had been hoped that such modifications might have been inferred from reference to previous records but on the commencement of field work it soon became evident that the localities previously survezred were not defined with sufficient exactness to permit of this. Neither was the frequencir of occurrence of the various species indicated in greater, detail. In the circumstances, so far as this particular inquiry was concerned, the best that could be done was to lay a foundation in greater detail upon ;rhich future work on this most interesting and important question could be based. The method finall'r adopted was to choose definite lines traversing botaniceL l7 variable tracts in the county. These lines were surve --ed s7stematica7l7 any' the associations through which the passed studied, the plants composing them listed, their reletive frequencies noted, and the present delimitations of such associations recorded. Btr future observations and comparison it will be possible to show whether material changes in the composition of the flora are taking place and possibly the rattof change mar be assessed.
