Here upon its frontier in ancient ” times stood the Girth Cross . This bound ary the “ Sanctuary Girth enclosed the Abbey Lands . In ancient times , many a hard-pressed criminal has fled panting over the boundary to claim sanctuary from his vengeful pursuers . Once over the line he was safe . ri This p vilege , however, was confined after the Reformation to impecunious debtors . It is estimated that between and 2 Old Edinburgh persons sought protection from their creditors within the Liberty of Holyrood during a the last two hundred ye rs of its existence . Curious scenes have been witnessed by the ancient dwellings and inns near the Palace gates . Their lodgers were called the Abbey ” an d Lairds , were privileged to cross the bounds of the Sanctuary only between mid On night Saturday , and midnight on Sunday . Many amusin g stories are told of ingenious stratagems by watchful credi tors to capture these gentlemen of fallen fortunes . Some times this wa s accomplished by putting back the hands of the tavern Clock , thus lulling the thirsty victim who was joyously ” moistening his clay , into a false sense of security . Again , a belated fugitive who was being chased hot-foot down the Ca nonga te by the minions of the law , managed to throw himself prostrate across the boundary a s just they clutched him from behind . As in his nobler parts were sanctuary, he was adjudged free . It is also related that the fugitive has sometimes been made the object of a tug-of-war between his friends on one side of the boundary , and the bailies T ABBEY S RAND . H olyroo d a on the other, gre tly to his physical di comfitu r e . An amusing incident occurred in 1 7 2 . ! , A Mr s . Dilks being a booked inmate of t u e Abbey Sanct ary , one of her creditors form a design of getting possession of her persor e -a t- n He s nt a messenger law , who , planti himself in a tavern within th e privilege its ft ground , but close upon verge , sent h c the la dy to come and speak with him . S with or obeying, could not reach the house treading for a few paces beyond the girth , and the messenger ’ s concurrents took th ‘ o or tunit to . h ovs pp y lay hold of her This , wa s rn - ever, too much to be bo e by a fair pla r es ideni loving populace . The very female a tta c kin of the Abbey rose at the news , and r . h e the pa ty , rescued Mrs Dilks , and bore back in triumph within the charmed circle . ffi th An o cial , called the Bailie of " H er edita r Abbey , was appointed by the Keeper of the Palace to keep order , and t administer justice within the Sancta Although imprisonment for debt was abo' ish ed 1 8 8 0 sanctu a r in , the privilege of still exists . The foundation charter of th 4 Old E dinburgh Abbey of Holyrood records the right of trial by wager of battle , by water, by red ” hot iron , and other ancient privileges , including the right of girth , or sanctuary , quh ilk privilege has bene inv iolablie Ob s er vit to all maner of per sonis cu mand wythin sa committa nd the bounder afore id , not the c r ymes ex pr e sslie ex c eptit past mem ” orie of man . The crimes excepted were treason and sacrilege . When David I . founded Holyrood Abbey in I 1 2 8 the picturesque legend from which it derives its name being related elsewhere he granted to its canons quite an extensive h tract of land , which stretc ed between the ’ town and the foot of Arthur s Seat . This was added to by the later monarchs , and at the Reformation the “ Abbey Lands em ’ braced the whole of the present King s Park, Duddin ston from g to Greenside , and from ” Placentia Brae , now the Pleasance, to ” Res a lr i s o t . g The Abbey Lands , called, c an are a regality by themselves , and thus never be entirely merged in the municipality E of dinburgh . As we pass onward from the Strand H olyrood 5 and gray old Holyrood , the House of ” Kings , confronts us , one who is at all familiar with its history cannot fail to be “ Old impressed . If this romance in stone and lime had but a voice what a story it m could unfold . It could tell us of the sole n Chanting of the monks , and the sound of the vesper bell . Again , of the Clash of steel , and of the leaping flame which found birth in the torch of the Southron invader . It could speak to us of brilliant festivities , and the magnificence of splendid processions ; of t solemn funeral pomp , and of ghas ly tragedy . So great is the number of memorable events and names associated with this gray old pile, that we cannot look upon it without pro found interest and reverence . The approach to Holyrood from the Ca non a te g has not its former stateliness , and on two sides a poor quarter of the city l presses against these ancient wa ls . But on the other side are free air and th e everlasting hills . The red crags of Salisbury and the seamed sides of the great Arthur ’ s Seat remain unchanged from th e time when David chose here the place to build his 6 Old Edinburgh M onastery ; and in fact , half the domain remains as he sa w it . Probably no part of the remaining Abbey buildings go back to the time of David I . The Abbey through his munificenc e soon became one of the greatest religious houses in Scotland , and like all monasteries , had many apartments for the accommodation of visitors of every rank . Royalty looked upon it as a favourite place of abode , and it is not the only instance of a conventual building being taken posses sion of by the King and Court for a res idence . James I . of Scotland was residing in the Blackfriars M onastery at Perth , we remember, when r u l he was so c e ly murdered there . Holyrood to -day is of interes t almost solely on account of its connection with Mary Stuart . Two portions only of the ancient structure have remained since her time her own apartments , and the ruins of the Chapel Royal but these fragments are full of absorbing interest , and appeal more i strongly to the imag native mind , perhaps , than any other relics of her career . The d panelled audience chamber , which witnesse H olyrood 7 the stormy interviews with Knox ; the fatal - wa s supper room, where Rizzio stabbed and then dragged from the presence of the terror stricken Queen , and her bedroom , with its lofty ca nopied bed which is still dressed with its decaying finery .

    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

    FRIENDS OF BRUTON 11 Day Tour of Scotland and England June 17-27, 2016 Dear Friend: We are eagerly anticipating this faith-based excursion to the U.K. The Friends of Bruton Parish Church, Williamsburg, Virginia is sponsoring the pilgrimage. The Friends of Bruton has led a previous pilgrimage and the positive response to that trip encouraged us to organize another. Knowing that Bruton Parish Church is one of the most historic parishes in the country, you can expect an emphasis on history. Looking at our itinerary, I hope you recognize the opportunity to tell significant stories of history and faith. We will have a tour leader, who will ground us in points of interest and facts. As our spiritual guide, I will do a number of reflections to open our hearts to things of the Spirit. We are in the midst of conversations with our Church of England family for some behind the scenes peeks into the special places we are set to visit. Again, reflecting upon our schedule and the sites we will visit, this is a unique tour for those seeking something more than your typical English tour. From Iona to York, you will experience a different side of the U.K. My hope is to gather together a group of individuals and facilitate our development as a community.

The remainder of the Record down to 31st December 1829 is in the General Register House, but from that date to the present day it will be found at the Commissary Office. The Register for the Eighteenth Century shows a considerable falling away in the number of Testaments recorded, due to some extent to the Local Registers being more taken advantage of On the other hand, a number of Testaments of Scotsmen dying in England, the Colonies, and abroad are to be found. The Register for the years following on the Union of the Parliaments is one of melancholy interest, containing as it does, to a certain extent, the death-roll of the ill-fated Darien Expedition.

Since Marc was Kit’s biographer, and considered by John Carson, Kit’s great-grandson, to be the best of the bunch that’s written about Kit, I paid particular attention. The story is related in three paragraphs in Kit’s modest and understated autobiography, and I quickly realized it was the fodder for a good painting. Over several vis- its, Marc and I fleshed out Kit’s sparse account. In the spring of 1843, Kit was employed as a hunter for a Bent, St. Vrain & Company freight caravan bound for the states. At the Walnut Creek crossing, near the great bend of the Arkansas River, they met an escort of U.S. Dragoons with a caravan of Mexican and American trad- ers bound for Santa Fe. Texans were reputed to be on the trail raiding the Mexican trains. The U. S. Dragoons could not escort them past the Arkansas, as that was Mexican territory. Kit was offered $300 in gold to ride dispatch to the Mexican governor in Santa Fe and request Mexican cavalry to escort the train the rest of the way in.

The policy was that the stronger European enemy would be defeated first. - 4 - With the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 and the bombing attacks on 8 December on Wake Island, Guam, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippine Islands, the United States found itself thrust into a global war.

    DISCOVER SCOTLAND September 6-15, 2019 WITH NHPBS AND WILLEM LANGE Travel in the footsteps of the Jacobite revolution and ancient Scots on the journey of a lifetime that will highlight the rugged natural beauty, intriguing history, and delightful modern charm of Scotland. New Hampshire PBS and American Expeditions invite you to discover the enchanting land of Scotland with New England’s favorite storyteller, Willem Lange. Surrounded by lore and shrouded in mystery, the mere mention of Scotland conjures images of imposing castles, untamed landscapes, soft strains of bagpipes, and a plethora of historical legends. Take a step back in time as we take in sweeping and verdant natural wonders, remote sea-sprayed ruins, and stroll the iconic cobblestones of the Royal Mile on this unique and insightful Scottish experience that you will cherish for years to come. We begin in Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city which is situated in the Lowlands along the River Clyde. While just a small town upon Scotland’s union with England in 1707, it eventually blossomed into a thriving Victorian paradise as shipbuilding and steel production began to prosper in the 19TH century. Having honorably been named a European Capital of Culture in 1990, Glasgow rivals Edinburgh in the arts, with a thriving music scene and notable galleries and museums that honor its proud industrial heritage. Next, we’ll make our way up to the coastal town of Oban with a delightful stop in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, whose natural beauty has inspired artists and writers for centuries, including Sir Walter Scott.
