The foregoing Register (rectors, priests and students during the Madrid period) is based on the publication of the New Spalding Club, Records of the Scots Colleges, (Aberdeen, 1906) and especially on the Madrid and Douai sections. The many amendments and additions in the present Register, however, are derived mainly from the following sources:
(a) Philip Flanagan, art. ‘List of Rectors or Administrators at Scots College, Madrid”, The Innes Review, IV (1953), pp. 117-118;
(b) Appendix to Scotichronicon, vol. III;
(c) Sommervogel and Foley, opera citata;
(d) Annals of the Scots College from 1546 to 1697 (College archives 54/1; notes in Spanish in the writing of Alexander Cameron II, rector 1810- 33);
(e) scraps of information scattered through the various Account and Administration Books of the Madrid period and now forming part of the College archives. Many of the biographical data are now unverifiable and their certainty cannot be guaranteed. This applies to some of the material in the foregoing Register, although statements that are improbable have been excluded or marked by signs of interrogation.
* In the administration book covering the period 1633-60 (College archives A/i), the contents page (in Hugh Semple’s hand) promises Alumnorum nomina parentes et dies receptionis et studia: f. 241”, but all of the folios after f. 194 are missing. The data for the Madrid section of Records of the Scots Colleges were provided in 1905 by Rev. James Humble, then vice- rector of the college. He probably copied from the appendix to G. A. Griffin’s manuscript Historical Notice of the Scottish College at Madrid and Valladolid (College archives 54/15, but at present in Columba House), the author of which may have had access to the missing folios, which are no doubt the original Madrid register, added to by Hugh Semple’s successors.
Valladolid Period, from 1770
The Register of rectors, priests and students at Valladolid is based on the lists in the college (Archives 54/4 and A/79), part of which is published in Records of the Scots Colleges, pp. 204- 245 (Aberdeen, New Spalding Club, 1906). The information contained there has been augmented and, in some cases, corrected, from various other sources, mainly correspondence to and from the college and The Catholic Directories for Scotland.

STUDENTS
The order followed for this register of students at Valladolid is chronological, viz., according to date of arrival at the college. Within each group of those who arrived on the same day, the order found in Records of the Scots Colleges has been retained, since no other order less arbitrary could now be devised and any change would therefore be merely for the sake of change; but, from 1903 onwards, viz., that section of the register now being published for the first time, the order within each group is based, as far as possible, on dates of birth.
The spelling of surnames, especially those commencing with “Mac” or ‘Mc”, was, until comparatively recent times, notoriously inconsistent and variable. In this register, an attempt has been made to follow, as far as possible, the spelling adopted by the individuals themselves, especially when writing out the Mission Oath; in cases where this last is not extant, the form of spelling used is that most commonly found in the contemporary correspondence.
