  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

    The Episcopal Congregation of Charlotte Chapel, Edinburgh 1794-1818 Eleanor M. Harris Department of History and Politics School of Arts and Humanities University of Stirling A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by Professor David W. Bebbington 31 October 2013 I, Eleanor M. Harris, declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work which it embodies is my work and has not been included in another thesis. i Acknowledgements I asked Professor David Bebbington for advice on a local history project, and he sug- gested it might form the subject of a PhD. His methodical, wise, precise and thoughtful supervision was exactly what I required. It is thanks to him that I have produced a piece of academic work rather than a flight of fancy, and in this and in all my future work I shall owe him a huge debt of gratitude. It has been a great privilege to be supervised by him. The innumerable others to whom I owe thanks would form a prosopographical study in themselves. I have been supported by historians at Stirling, Edinburgh and elsewhere, and staff at the National Library of Scotland and National Registers of Scotland. I have been given opportunities to speak at conferences such as the Ecclesiastical History Soci- ety and Modern British History Network, and been asked thought-provoking questions by popular audiences in Edinburgh. Through the internet and social media I have dis- covered several family historians who provided information cited in the thesis, as well as a global network of lively minds helping with tasks such as ‘crowd-sourcing’ the word Caledonisation.

  • John Mair's Dialogus De Materia Theologo
    JOHN MAIR’S DIALOGUS DE MATERIA THEOLOGO TRACTANDA INTRODUCTION, TEXT AND TRANSLATION Alexander Broadie THE CONTEXT OF JOHN MAIR’S DIALOGUS DE MATERIA THEOLOGO TRACTANDA In general it is easier to defend a position if you accept it than if you think it plain wrong. Students in the medieval schools were trained to defend positions they thought wrong. The acquisition of such a skill was bound to be an impor- tant weapon in their armoury. John Mair (c. 1467-1550) was a logician trained in the scholastic way and at the University of Paris during the first decades of the sixteenth century, and during these decades there were few arguers tougher than he.1 Some of the logical skills he had honed are in evidence in the Dia- logue that he published as a preface to his 1510 Commentary on Book One of the Sentences of Peter Lombard (hereinafter In 1um Sent). In a sense there are three dramatis personae in the Dialogue: Gavin Douglas (c. 1476-1522), David Cranston (c. 1479-1512) and John Mair. Mair does not actually say anything but he is there throughout since (apart from the trivial fact that he wrote every word) Douglas and Cranston are in dispute about Mair, one of them in favour of the kind of theology that Mair writes in his In 1um Sent and the other against it. In effect therefore, the piece is a picture of Mair both attacking and defend- ing himself. As a preface to my edition-with-translation of the Dialogue2 I offer here some background information and comments that have a bearing on the role of the dramatis personae.

Over the centuries new parishes were carved out of the territory and in 1649 proposals were made to establish a church in the eastern part of the parish of Falkirk in the vicinity of Polmont. It was only in 1731 however that construction began on a new church on a greenfield site just south of Cadger’s Brae (the main road from Falkirk to Bo’ness). This meant the creation of a new cross road connecting the Cadger’s Brae to a relatively recent turnpike road to the south (see Roy’s Great Map) – now appropriately known as Kirk Entry. Land was bought for the church, manse, glebe and a churchyard. The position of the stone church within its early enclosure clearly shows that from the beginning there was an intention to have a burial ground associated with it. Liberty to bury in the churchyard was granted by the presbytery on 22 October 1735, though the first burial appears to have taken place in January the previous year when I. Shaw died at the age of 77 years.
