Mr Cairncross was well-known in Perth and much further afield as a partner, with his late brother Alistair, in the long-established firm of A&G Cairncross, jewellers. His connection with the Council Archive goes back to the old days in the Sandeman Library when he kindly deposited records relating to his father’s trust. Along with good friend Archie Martin, and sister-in-law Mary Cairncross he was quick to support the setting up of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive. We were also pleased recently to receive a generous contribution from his own charitable trust towards the cost of equipment for our volunteers. It is apparent from the appreciations of his life that have appeared in the local press and the warm tributes at his funeral that Mr Cairncross will be deeply missed by his many friends and also by various organisations within Perth. On behalf of the Friends, we would like to pass on our sympathy to his family. Steve Connelly, Archivist Welcome to our eighth Friends newsletter. It’s been a busy quarter for our members and volunteers. First, our visit to Kinross House was most interesting. Arriving at dusk, the sweep up the drive to the spotlighted house was quite breathtaking.

Bishop of Brechin, and Primus of the Episcopal Church in Scotland. ILLUSTRATED BY A. C. CROLL MURRAY. Selkirk : The Scottish Chronicle" Offices. 1917. Co — V. PREFACE. The following chapters appeared in the pages of " The Scottish Chronicle " in 1915 and 1916, and it is owing to the courtesy of the Proprietor and Editor that they are now republished in book form. Their original publication in the pages of a Church newspaper will explain something of the lines on which the book is fashioned. The articles were written to explain and to describe the origin and de\elopment of the Armorial Bearings of the ancient Dioceses of Scotland. These Coats of arms are, and have been more or less con- tinuously, used by the Scottish Episcopal Church since they came into use in the middle of the 17th century, though whether the disestablished Church has a right to their use or not is a vexed question. Fox-Davies holds that the Church of Ireland and the Episcopal Chuich in Scotland lost their diocesan Coats of Arms on disestablishment, and that the Welsh Church will suffer the same loss when the Disestablishment Act comes into operation ( Public Arms).

  • Chapter 1 William Semple and the Foundation of the College
    Chapter 1 William Semple and the Foundation of the College Among the decrees issued by the general council of the Catholic Church, held in the city of Trent at the time of the reformation, a considerable number dealt with measures thought necessary to correct abuses and failings among the clergy. In an attempt to improve the situation for the future, the council ordered, in particular, that the preparation of young men for the priesthood be conducted in special training centres, to be called seminaries, which were to be set up throughout the Catholic world. It is undeniable that the catastrophic state in which the Catholic Church found itself in Scotland after 1560 was due, in no small measure, to many of the clergy having been ill-prepared, spiritually and intellectually, for their work. If the Council of Trent’s instruction regarding the establishment of seminaries was worth heeding in any country, that country was Scotland. But in the decades that followed the Scottish reformation, the Catholics there were in no position to be able to comply with the council’s decree. It was this impossibility of having seminaries in Scotland that led to the establishment of various institutions on the continent, where young Scotsmen who believed themselves called to the priesthood might go to receive the appropriate training. Such Scottish seminaries were set up in Flanders, at Paris and at Rome. One other was also established. Its location was Spain, a not unexpected choice, since that country regarded itself as the bastion of the old faith, with a special mission to combat the heretics of England and Scotland.

  • The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-Shrine | 201
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot 142 (2012), 201–244 THE KILMICHAEL GLASSARY BELL-SHRINE | 201 The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine David H Caldwell*, Susy Kirk†, Gilbert Márkus‡, Jim Tate§ and Sharon Webb ǁ ABSTRACT The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine is one of the treasures of National Museums Scotland. This paper reassesses the circumstances of its discovery, its context and importance, and its role as a relic of a saint, not Moluag, as previously suggested, but possibly Columba. The wider use of handbells in the early medieval church is also considered. The bell-shrine was found in 1814, on the farm of Torbhlaren, in the parish of Kilmichael Glassary, in mainland Argyll, probably near to where it was venerated. The bell inside it dates to the 7th–9th century, the shrine to the first half of the 12th century. The latter bears evidence in its design of a mixed artistic heritage, including local, Irish and Scandinavian influence. Alternative hypotheses, that it represents the artistic output of the Kingdom of the Isles or Dunkeld, in the kingdom of the Scots, are presented. Details are provided of a technological examination of bell and shrine and a list of other early Scottish handbells is included. INTRODUCTION DISCOVERY AND PROVENANCE The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine [KGBS] is S Webb a medieval reliquary in the form of a small copper alloy box which contains an iron handbell (illus The circumstances surrounding the place 1). Associated with them is a copper alloy chain where bell, shrine, cross and chain were and cross.
