126613874.23.Pdf PUBLICATIONS OF THE SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY VOLUME XLII CHARTULARY OF LINDORES ABBEY July 1903 CHARTULARY OF THE ABBEY OF LINDORES 1195-1479 Edited from the Original Manuscript at Caprington Castle, Kilmarnock, with Translation and Abstracts of the Charters, Illustrative Notes, and Appendices, by THE RIGHT REV. JOHN DOWDEN, D.D. BISHOP OF EDINBUUGH EDINBURGH Printed at the University Press by T. and A. Constable for the Scottish History Society 1903 PREFACE The Scottish History Society is indebted to Colonel J. A. S. Cuninghame, of Caprington Castle, Kilmarnock, for permission to print the text of the Chartulary, and to photograph the specimen pages which appear in this volume. The editor has to add his thanks to Colonel Cuninghame for personally verify- ing some doubtful readings after the manuscript had been returned to Caprington. The thanks of the Society and of the editor are due to Mr. Alexander Gibb, F.S.A. (Scot.), for the observations on place-names and persons which he has been so good as to furnish to the Notes and Illustrations; and to Mr. William Rae Macdonald, F.S.A. (Scot.), for his valuable Appendix on the Seals of Lindores, and for procuring the impressions of the seals which have been photographed and are here reproduced. In the course of this work acknowledgment is made of the obliging services of several gentlemen who have aided the editor in elucidating points of more or less difficulty. The editor’s special thanks are due to a distinguished charter and record scholar, who, so long as health allowed him, was un- failing in his help, but who has forbidden the mention of his name. This gentleman’s labours unfortunately extended to only the earlier charters of the volume. Subsequently the editor has enjoyed the invaluable assistance rendered by Dr. J. Maitland Thomson, Curator of the Historical Department of H.M. General Register House. The editor has been, he fears, barefaced and unblushing in his demands; but Dr. Thomson’s generosity has condoned his innumerable impor- vi THE CHARTULARY OF LINDORES tunities. Mr. J. T. Clark, Keeper of the Advocates’ Library, was so good as to assist both with wise counsel and the loan of books in regard to the difficult task of verifying the author- ities cited in the ‘Legal Opinion’ (No. cxlix.), which was a line of research quite outside the circle of the editor’s ordinary studies. The editor is also under innumerable obligations to Dr. T. G. Law, Secretary of the Society. The editor in the course of many years has had frequent struggles with printers, who for the most part like to follow their own ways rather than those of the authors whose ‘ copy ’ they are employed to set up. But in the present case he is compelled to acknowledge that he has been saved from many an error by the intelligent and keen proof-reading, both of the Latin and the English, in the office of the Edinburgh University Press. The Index has been prepared by Mr. Alex. Mill of the Signet Library. One of the most delightful of the compensations for labours, such as those demanded by the task now brought to a con- clusion, is the vivid sense of brotherly fellowship created by the ready generosity of others engaged in similar lines of research. And, if he may trust his own feelings, the editor is certain that he is not justly liable to a hitct) ay^apiaria^, should the Court of Session, like the judicatories of ancient Athens, entertain such an action at law.

  • The Dominicans in Scotland, 1230-1560 Richard Oram “In This
    In Giraud EJ & Linde JC (eds.) A Companion to the English Dominican Province: From Its Beginnings to the Reformation. Companions to The Christian Tradition, 97. Leiden: Brill, pp. 112-137. https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004446229_005 The Dominicans in Scotland, 1230-1560 Richard Oram “In this year [1230], the Jacobine friars […] enter Scotland for the first time.”1 This laconic entry in the Cistercian chronicle compiled at Melrose Abbey records the first step in a process that saw the eventual establishment of sixteen Dominican convents within Scotland and, in the later 15th century, their constitution as a separate province of the order. That brief statement in the Melrose Chronicle apart, the circumstances of their introduction, the nature of their reception, and the processes by which they fixed their presence in the main urban centres of the kingdom, remain shrouded in obscurity. Indeed, the growth of the Dominican presence in Scotland in the half-century after 1230, its organisation and leadership, and the sources of the patronage necessary to sustain the communities, can be glimpsed only sketchily in the fragmentary historical sources. Few of the surviving materials were generated by the Dominicans themselves and many do not have the friars as their primary focus or purpose. Loss of record evidence remains a critical impediment in any wider exploration of the development of the order in Scotland down to the middle of the 15th century, with little surviving from most houses to cast any light on the internal operation of the network of Dominican convents or the part which the friars played in the wider spiritual and intellectual life of the nation.

  • Hardinge Giffard, 1​St​ Earl of Halsbury, Lord High Chancellor
    st Hardinge Giffard, 1 ​ Earl of Halsbury, Lord High Chancellor ​ Background History Born in London, you are the third son of Stanley Lees Giffard, editor of the Standard newspaper, ​ ​ by his wife Susanna, daughter of Francis Moran. You were educated at Merton College, Oxford, and called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1850.’ You quickly became important within the circuit and went on to have a large practice at the central criminal court and the Middlesex sessions. You even served for several years as the junior prosecuting counsel to the Treasury. You then became Queen's Counsel in 1865 and a bencher of the Inner Temple. As you continued on with your efforts in the legal world you made yourself quite the name in the United Kingdom. You won a great many high profile cases surrounding fraud in the budget and also represented high profile clients in a number of suits against factories for child labor and suits for workers rights. This has made you a hero of the people in many places in the Midlands and in South Wales, where many of the workers benefited from your victories. While you were acting as a barrister, you also began to garner an interest in politics. Using the political capital you had amassed from your legal work both politically and popularly, you tried to enter into the House of Commons. However, ultimately you remained without a seat in the House of Commons, even when appointed to be the Solicitor General by Disraeli in 1875. While in this position you acted as an invaluable font of legal information for the crown, helping provide them legal guidance in the face of rapidly changing laws around workers rights, social norms, and also industrial practices.

In cases where the cross calvary does not appear, a cross of some other kind is often found, as in the present instance. We are informed that in assuming this device no special allusion was intended by the authorities of Aberchirder ; we should therefore conjecture that the charge was obtained by some course of syllogistic reasoning such as — burghs have crosses : this is a burgh ; therefore it ought to have a cross.

HISTORICAL NOTE Mugdrum House is believed to date from the early 18th Century, although possibly incorporating older work, and was reconstructed later in the 19th Century. The single storey eastern wing was added in 1926 and subsequently rebuilt following a fire circa 1988. Mugdrum House was formerly known as The Old House of Mugdrum. It was replaced in 1786 by a larger dwelling sited close to the current walled garden. At that time it became the Factor’s residence. Following the new house burning down, The Old House reverted to become The Mansion House again. Mugdrum Cross stands on a ridge within woodland to the north of the pond. The Cross was designated an Ancient Monument in 1962. The Mugdrum Cross stands about 3.5m tall and is free standing. It was probably carved after the 10th Century making it Class 3 Stone associated with the early ascendancy of Christianity in Scotland.
