We have been doing that for Clan Crawford since 2007. • In the category of good works the Society made significant donations to the National Trust for Scotland to assist in res- toration of the Culloden Battlefield. By the way, the paver recognizing the CWS contribution is now in the walkway to the Visitor’s Centre. • In addition, the Society assisted, financially, in the restoration of the Robert Burns statue in Milwaukee in time for the 200th anniversary of The Bard’s birth in 2009. New Members • Joanne Crawford and CWS member Rafif Jouejati teamed up to produce a first-class publica- tion about the William Wallace-Crawford connection. The publication will soon be available on the Society web site.

His widow, Princess Mary, was then compelled to marry the elderly Lord Hamilton who was created Earl of Arran and thus made the Hamiltons next in line to the throne rather than the Boyds. The line of Boyds did however continue through the second son of Lord Boyd and the title was restored in The 10th Lord Boyd was made Earl of Kilmarnock by Charles II in but less than a century later the title was stripped for the part played by the 4th Earl in the Jacobite rebellion. The title was passed through the female line to the Earl's second son who inherited the title of the Earl of Erroll and adopted the name of Hay. He was succeeded in by the 7th Lord Kilmarnock. An origin in the Isle of Bute 'Bod' in Gaelic has also been promoted. Their reputed Anglo- Norman ancestor was Simon, younger brother of Walter the first High Steward, and the fess-chequey in the Boyd arms might support this origin. They supported Bruce in the struggle for Independence and following Bannockburn in Sir Robert Boyd was granted the lands around Kilmarnock lately forfeited by Balliol. Robert Boyd became Lord Boyd in and the family enjoyed a brief ascendency.

  • The Legacy of William Wallace & His Crawford Relations
    The Legacy of William Wallace & His Crawford Relations C. Joanne Crawford, PhD - [email protected] Kevan Crawford, PhD - [email protected] One of the most complete portrayals of William Wallace’s life is the epic poem by Blind Harry known today simply as “The Wallace.” Blind Harry lived and wrote in the late 1450s, about 150 years after Wallace’s death. He wrote down many of the popular stories about Wallace’s life and legend, performing at the court of James IV to great appreciation. He wrote the poem down in about 1477, and it was one of the first books published in Scotland around 1508, with the title: The Acts and Deides of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campion Schir William Wallace. Current historians tend to challenge the veracity of much of his story, but this work continues to provide the framework for William Wallace’s life. An adaptation by William Hamilton of Gilbertfield was published in 1722 as The Life and Heroick Actions of the Renoun’d Sir William Wallace, General and Governor of Scotland. Hamilton’s version of the poem has been widely circulated over the last several hundred years, as popular in homes as the bible. This work is also the source of most of what is known of Wallace’s Crawford connections. Wallace’s mother Margaret Crawford and his uncle Reginald (or Ranald, as per Blind Harry) Crawford, Sheriff of Ayr and Lord of Loudoun appear prominently. It provides most of what we know about Wallace’s Crawford family relations. William Wallace’s legacy is that of probably the most prominent of Scottish heroes.

The expression “Great Scott” is of uncertain origin, but is believed to date back to the American Civil War, and may refer to U.S. Army General Winfield Scott. The general, known to his troops as “Old Fuss and Feathers” and the great Scott, weighed almost 300 pounds. In a May 1861 edition of the New York Times: “These gatherings of loyal freemen, under the command of the great SCOTT.” In an 1871 issue of Galaxy magazine: “Great Scott! He gasped in his stupefaction, using the name of the then commander-in-chief for an oath, as officers sometimes did in those days.” The exclamation can also be found in C.S.

  • Medieval King Laid to Rest 500 Years Later
    Medieval king laid to rest 500 years later Hundreds ofpeople gathered in an English town Sunday, March 22,2015, as a procession carrying the remains ofRichard III, the medieval king whose bones were found under a parking lot, headed to a cathedral before a proper burial cer- emony more than 500 years after his death in battle. A hearse carrying the monarch's remains, sealed inside an oak coffin, processed past Leicestershire's landmarks -- including the battle- field at Bosworth where the monarch was killed in 1485. Dozens of people, including some dressed in medieval costumes and carrying torches, turned out at the battlefield to watch the cortege. Richard, the last Plantagenet king, was buried hastily without a coffin in a church that was demol- ished long ago. His bones weren't found until2012, when archaeologists excavated them from a Leicester parking lot. DNA tests, bone analysis and other scientific scrutiny established that the skeleton belonged to the king. Michael lbsen, a descendant ofthe monarch who built the coffin that carried Richard's remains, was among academics and others who placed white roses on the casket during a short ceremony earlier Sunday. On Thursday, March 27 organizers plan to lower the coffin into a tomb at Leicester Cathedral. "His reburial at the end of the week will have all the dignity and solemnity that his original burial never had," said Phil Stone, chair of the Richard III Society. "Our work will continue, in perhaps convincing the doubters Richard wasn't as black (evil) as he was once thought to be." The monarch was portrayed as a hunchbacked villain in Shakespeare's play Richard III, though some historians claim he was a relatively enlightened monarch whose name was besmirched by his opponents.

  • Clan CRAWFORD Septs
    CLAN CRAWFURD ARMS Quarterly, 1st & 4th, Gules, a fess ermine, 2nd & 3rd, Argent a stag’s head erased Gules CREST A stag’s head erased Gules, between the attires a cross crosslet fitchée Sable MOTTO Tutum te robore reddam (I will give you safety by strength) SUPPORTERS Two bulls Sable, armed and unguled Or The family of Crawford is believed to be of Norman origin, taking their name from the barony of the same name in Lanarkshire. The early names of the principal families are all Norman, although some scholars have asserted an Anglo-Danish ancestry. According to tradition, Reginald, son of the powerful Earl of Richmond, was one of the Norman knights established by David I. The Crawfords feature in the legendary incident which led to the foundation of the Abbey of Holyrood when the king’s life was saved from a stag in 1127: Sir Gregan Crawford, together with divine intervention, was instrumental in saving his royal master’s life. In 1296, Sir Reginald Crawford was appointed sheriff of Ayr. His sister, Margaret, married Wallace of Elderslie, and was the mother of Sir William Wallace, the great Scottish patriot. The Crawfords rallied to their cousin in his struggle against English domination. The family of the sheriff of Ayr also produced the main branches of this family, who were styled ‘of Auchinames’ and ‘of Croufurdland’. The chiefly family is generally reckoned to be that of Auchinames in Renfrewshire, who received a grant of their lands from Robert the Bruce in 1320. Sir William Crawfurd of Craufurdland was one of the bravest men of his time and was knighted by James I.
