Nevertheless, briea f summar histors it architecturf d yo yan presenteds i e thin i s scenpapee th t ordeen ri se o rt for the excavations described within. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Craignethan Castle dates from around 1530 and was the brainchild of Sir James Hamilton of Finnart, the illegitimate son of James, first Earl of Arran and great-grandson of King James II. Finnart not only commissioned the building of the castle but, as one who was passionately interested in architecture (and indeed the future Master of the King's Works), took a very active interest in its construction. Finnart was executed for treason in 1540 and the castle eventually fell into the hands of his half-brother (also James), who was to become the second Earl of Arran and Regent of Scotland during the minority of Mary, Queen of Scots.

  • Excavations at Bothwell Castle, North Lanarkshire
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 127 (1997), 687-695 Excavation t Bothwelsa l Castle, North Lanarkshire John Lewis* ABSTRACT The following report describes two small-scale excavations (in 1987-8 and 1991) within the castle enclosure and a watching brief carried out in 1993 during the topsail clearance which preceded the installation of a new car park some 100 m east of the castle. Trenching to the immediate east of the postern revealed traces of what may have been an extension to the south range; and a possible robber trench, perhaps associated with the gatehouse, was uncovered just inside the modern entrance to the castle. The project was funded by Historic Scotland (former SDD/HBM).

V-* 13EFERKING- to a recent Advertisement, -*-*; in which I assert that all my Black and Coloured Cloths are Woaded—or, in other wards, based with Indigo —a process which,, permanently prevents them from assuming that brownish appearance (daily apparent on the street) which they acquire after being for a time in use. As a guarantee for what I state, I pledge myself that every piece, before being taken into stock, is subjected to a severe chemical test, which in ten seconds sets the matter at rest. I have commenced the Clothing with the fullest conviction that "what is worth doing is worth doing well," to accomplish which I shall leave " no stone untamed" to render my Establishment as much a " household word " ' for Gentlemen's Clothing as it has become for the ' Unique Shirt." I do not for a moment deny that Woaded Cloths are kept by other respectable Clothiers ; but I give the double assurance that no other is kept in my stock—a pre- caution that will, I have no doubt, ultimately serve my purpose as much as it must serve that of my Customers. Nearly 30 years' experience as a Tradesman has convinced " me of the hollowness of the Cheap" outcry ; and I do believe that most people, who, in an incautious moment, have been led away by the delusive temptation of buying ' cheap, have been experimentally taught that ' Cheapness" is not Economy.

There was a second English occupation from 1331 until 1337, when it was captured by Sir Andrew de Moray, to whom it rightfully belonged. Partially destroyed by him as a military expedient it lay waste until c. 1362, when a second reconstruction of the twice dismantled fabric took place.

Only recently have archaeologists begun to broaden that appreciation. One area in particular where the picture may be changing medievalthe is towerhouse, which generallywe perceive free-standingas self-and contained.

No class of monument surviving from our medieval past has been better served or more intensely studied than the castle. Our fascination for ecclesiastical ruins has a longer history, but the Scottish castle has received the greater attention down the years. We owe an enormous debt to professional architects like MacGibbon and Ross, and to architectural historians of the calibre of Mackay MacKenzie (1927), Stewart Cruden (1960; reprinted 1981) and John Dunbar (1966), for picking over castellater bonee ou th f o s d heritag publishind ean majoe gth r seminal works.
