  • Lady Katherine Gordon, the Wife of Perkin Warbeck, Is As Questionable As the Identity of Her Husband
    LadyKatherine Gordon: A GenealogicalPuzzle WENDY E. A. MOORHEN It is a curious quirk of history that the descent of Lady Katherine Gordon, the wife of Perkin Warbeck, is as questionable as the identity of her husband. The controversy of Lady Katherine's descent stems from the question of who was her mother? Was Lady Katherine the daughter of the Earl of Huntly’s second wife, Princess Annabella Stewart (a daughter of James I) or his third wife, Lady Elizabeth Hay (a daughter of the first earl of Erroll)? Lady Katherine mam'ed the pretender to the English throne a few weeks after Warbeck had arrived in Scotland. He was welcomed as Richard, Duke of York and granted a generous pension by the Scottish king. James IV sealed their friendship and alliance by providing one of his own cousins as Warbeck’s bride. The consequence of Elizabeth Hay being Lady Katherine’s mother, as opposed to the- Stewart princess, has been described as ‘dramatically diminish[ing] the significance of James’ [IV of Scotland] gesture by seriously reducing the status of his proffered bride, and thus of the level of his own support of Perkin." Elizabeth Hay should not be dismissed too hastily, however, as she was descended from two daughters of King Robert II. As well as being politically advantageous for Warbeck, the marriage may well have been a love match. A letter has survived in the Spanish archives which is now attributed to Warbeck and written to his future wife, ‘I shall, perhaps, be the happiest of all your admirers, and the happiest man on eanh, since I have reason to hope you will think me worthy of your love’.2 On 6 July 1497 Warbeck left Scotland and sailed for Ireland accompanied by his wife who chose to share the precarious adventure upon which her husband was about embark.

GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold, PhD. The interpretation of prehistoric iconography is complicated by the tendency to project contemporary male/female gender dichotomies into the past. Pictish monumental stone sculpture in Scotland has been studied over the last 100 years. Traditionally, mirror and comb symbols found on some stones produced in Scotland between AD 400 and AD 900 have been interpreted as being associated exclusively with women and/or the female gender. This thesis re-examines this assumption in light of more recent work to offer a new interpretation of Pictish mirror and comb symbols and to suggest a larger context for their possible meaning.

  • A9 Dualling Killiecrankie to Glen Garry Project. the Combination of These Two Projects Will Provide Several Benefits
    A9 Dualling Killiecrankie to Glen Garry Welcome Welcome to this joint exhibition on the Killiecrankie to Pitagowan and Pitagowan to Glen Garry projects of the A9 Dualling programme. As part of the A9 Dualling programme, Transport Scotland has been taking forward route option assessment work. In May and June 2015, exhibitions were held for the Killiecrankie to Pitagowan and Pitagowan to Glen Garry projects to seek public feedback on the route options being developed. The purpose of this exhibition is to provide the public with an overview of the outcome of the route option assessment work and to present the preferred option for the projects. This exhibition outlines the work that will be undertaken as part of the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Stage 3 process to develop and assess the preferred option. Killiecrankie to Pitagowan: View of (from left to right) Tulach Hill, the River Garry, Killiecrankie, the A9 and Killiecrankie Battlefield. Pitagowan to Glen Garry: Looking south across the A9 and Glen Garry. Feedback from consultation, including today’s exhibiton, will be considered as part of the further development, refinement and assessment of the preferred option. Further consultation and engagement will also be undertaken on the junction and access strategy, as we address access to properties and land adjacent to the A9. Transport Scotland staff and their consultants can direct you to the content of the exhibition for each project and will be happy to assist you with any queries you may have. A leaflet containing summary information about the projects is also available for you to take away, as well as a feedback form where we welcome your comments.

  • The Proceedings in the Case of Earldom of Mar
    THE PROCEEDINGS CASE OF THE EARLDOM OE MAR: 1867—1885. A RESUME BY E. B. SWINTON. " My thanes and kinsmen, Henceforth be Earls ; the first that ever Scotland In such an honor named." ,, LONDON: HARBISON AND SONS, 59, PALL MALL, BOOKSELLERS TO HEE MAJESTY AND H.E.H. TIIE PEINCE OF WALES. 1889. Price One Shilling. THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE OF THE EARLDOM OF MAR. On the 17th July of this year* the Earl of G-alloway in the House of Lords moved a resolution regarding the Mar peerage. He desired, in effect, to have it resolved that the present Earl of Mar and Baron Garioch was the only Earl of Mar, and that an order of the House of Lords of February 26th, 1875, which declared the Earl of Kellie to be also an Earl of Mar, should be cancelled : —" What they were asked to do," according to one of the speakers, the Earl of Rosebery, was " to declare that there were not two Earls of Mar ; whereas three years ago they had solemnly declared that there were ; " and, according to the report of the debate in the " Times," the motion was lost by a majority of 27 in a House of 51. This is the last public resuscitation of a long-stand- ing and involved dispute ; and it is proposed to give some account of the most interesting inquiry of the kind which has taken place in this century—interesting for its in- trinsic historical merits and research, and for the perplexed proceedings following upon it—not for any details of questions of disputed legitimacy which often accompany such investigations.
