By signing the Laws of the Royal Company of Scottish Archers, you en¬ gage to he faithful to your King and your Country ; for we are not a private company, as some people imagine, but constituted hy Royal Charter his Ma¬ jesty's First Regiment of Guards in Scotland; and if the King should ever come to Edinburgh, it is our duty to take charge of his Royal Person, from Inchbunkland Brae on the east, to Cramond Bridge on the west. But besides being the Body Guards of the King, this Company is the only thing now remaining in Scotland, which properly commemorates the many noble deeds performed by our ancestors by the aid of the Bow. It ought therefore to be the pride and ambition of every true Scotsman to be a member of it. Roslin’s Speech. EDINBURGH: PRINTED BY P. NEII.T.. 1819.

PREFATORY NOTICE. The following historical Memoir lias been selected by the Editor as the subject of his contribution to The Abbotsford Club—as well from the consideration of the interesting, but still obscure, period of Scottish history to which it refers, and which it materially tends to illustrate in many minute parti- culars—as from the fact that the transcript, or rather abridg- ment, of the original j\IS. by Lord Herries, now belonging to the Faculty of Advocates, is nearly all that is known to have been preserved of the valuable historical Collections made by the members of the Scots College of Douay, which, unfortu- nately, appear to have been totally destroyed during the French Revolution. -

The archive was formerly in the possession of Major P.I.C. Payne, of Minehead, in Somerset, who acquired the material by purchase from various sources. Some of Major Payne’s own papers relating to the collection from the 1960s, 70s and 80s are included (folders 102-107).

Other related families (folders 22-36) include Moir of Stoneywood (the family of James Skene’s mother, Jane), the Forbes family (that of Skene’s wife, Jane, daughter of Sir William Forbes of Pitsligo), Russell of Aden, Keith of Ludquhairn, Gordon of Balgown, Ramsay of Invernellie and Peterhead, and Skene of Halyards and Curriehill. -

COWAN AYRSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY £1.25 Ayrshire Collections Volume 14 Number Seven Ayrshire Abbeys Crossraguel and Kilwinning IAN B, COWAN '".f- Professor in the Department of Scottish History University of Glasgow 1986 Printed by Smitti Brothers (Kilmarnock) Limited The coming to Scotland of the Saxon princess, Margaret who, in 1068/9, married King Malcolm III facilitated the introduction of medieval monasticism into Scotland. At the queen's request, three Benedictine monks were sent from Canterbury to Dunfermline to form a nucleus of what eventually became a fully established priory. By this step, Margaret inaugurated the policy of encouraging the foundation of monastic houses in Scotland; a policy which was to be greatly developed by her sons and successors, and in particular by her sixth son David I (1124-53). The characteristic feature of David's reign was the settlement of Normans, with royal encouragement, in the country and their acquisition of lands; the steady extension of feudal administration in the kingdom; and as the counterpart of these secular movements, the marked expansion of the organization and institutions of the medieval church. The generosity of the king towards the religious orders was matched by that of his Scottish and Norman magnates who on the west coast in particular were responsible for the foundation and endowment of all the principal monastic houses. It was Walter Fitzalan, steward of Scotland, who for the first time brought Cluniac monks (from Wenlock) to Scotland and settled them initially at Renfrew about 1163, whence they moved in 1169 to Paisley. -

Orkney, Shetland and the Networks of the Northern Reformation*
ORKNEY, SHETLAND AND THE NETWORKS OF THE NORTHERN REFORMATION* Charlotte Methuen (University of Glasgow) Abstract This article explores the possible implications of the relationship between Orkney and Shetland and Norway for understanding the spread of the Reformation, focusing on the period between the late 1520s, when Reforming ideas began to be preached in Bergen, and 1560, when the Reformation was introduced into Scotland, including Orkney and Shetland. Draws on a scholarship which has shown the importance for the Reformation of language, trade, migration and urban/rural distinctions it investigates tantalising hints of contact between Orkney and Shetland, Norway (particularly Bergen) and Germany in questions of religion. This article does not seek to revise current understandings of the relationships of Orkney and Shetland to Scotland but seeks to explore what insights into (proto-)Reformation processes in Orkney and Shetland when possible influences from debates the Norwegian context – specifically Bergen – are considered alongside the influence of Scottish debates about religion. It concludes that whilst there is some evidence of contacts between individuals and that these contacts must have had aspects which related to religious practice, both the rural nature of Orkney and Shetland communities, and their relative isolation, meant that Reformation ideas were slow to take hold. Keywords Orkney, Shetland, Bergen, Norway, Reformation Introduction In 1987 Gordon Donaldson, drawing on an article he had first published in 1959, commented -
Owners of Guild's Books
FORMER OWNERS OF GUILD’S BOOKS Positive identification of former owners of books is a hazardous affair, with the attractive option not always being the correct one. This list of former owners of William Guild‟s books should be treated with some caution, therefore, since while some owners can be positively identified, there are others about which it is impossible to be certain. Standard sources have been used and acknowledged; full details can be found in the bibliography, also to be found on this website [insert web address here]. The numbers following the references relate to the catalogue of Guild‟s books [insert web address here]. Aberdeen, King‟s College. The core of the first library of King‟s College, Aberdeen, was a gift from the personal library of the college‟s founder, Bishop William Elphinstone; it was managed by Hector Boece (c.1465-1536), the first principal and de facto librarian. The foundation charter for the college was granted in 1505. Boece‟s position as librarian is evident from his signatures and comments on many of its early volumes. Unsurprisingly, books found their way into the personal collections of masters of the University such as Guild, who did not scruple to pass them elsewhere. (Kennedy, II, pp. 366-68) (64) Aberdeen, Dominicans. Said to have been founded c. 1230-50 by Alexander II. A prior and thirteen friars were in residence in 1503, but the house was destroyed by the Reformers in 1560. Its possessions were granted to George Earl of Marischal in 1587, who bestowed them on Marischal College as part of its endowment.
