A collection consisting of sketches and drawings by Lieut.-General G.H. Hutton, supplemented by a large number of finished drawings (some in colour), a few maps, and some architectural plans and elevations, professionally drawn for him by others, or done as favours by some of his correspondents, together with a number of separately acquired prints, and engraved views cut out from contemporary printed books. The collection, which was previously bound in two large volumes, was subsequently dismounted and the items individually attached to sheets of thick cartridge paper. They are arranged by county in alphabetical order (of the old manner), followed by Orkney and Shetland, and more or less alphabetically within each county. Most of the items depict, whether in whole or in part, medieval churches and other ecclesiastical buildings, but a minority depict castles or other secular dwellings. Most are dated between 1781 and 1792 and between 1811 and 1820, with a few of earlier or later date which Hutton acquired from other sources, and a somewhat larger minority dated 1796, 1801-2, 1805 and 1807. Many, especially the engravings, are undated. For Hutton’s notebooks and sketchbooks, see Adv.MSS.30.5.1-21, 24-26 and 28. For his correspondence and associated papers, see Adv.MSS.29.4.2(i)-(xiii).

THE CASE of the BLACK PEARLS 11. MORE BACKGROUND on MARY To protect his Kingdom, Henry VIII wanted a political alliance with Scotland. He wanted Mary Stewart to wed his frail son, Prince Edward (who, when he became King, would be Edward VI). The Scottish Parliament did not approve that arrangement. Catholic forces inside Scotland also had other ideas. They believed that Mary should wed the French heir, the Dauphin Francis. Mary's mother - a French princess - agreed. Henry VIII was extremely upset when Scotland's Parliament would not approve the Treaty of Greenwich (setting forth the terms of a marriage between the two youngsters). So angry was Henry that he fought a war over the issue (now called the "Rough Wooing" War). He sent his troops to Scotland with this directive: Put all to fire and sword. "All" included women and children. With fighting all around, Mary of Guise (then serving as Queen Regent) was worried about her daughter's safety. Would English soldiers try to kidnapp her? To avoid such a disaster, Mary hid her daughter inside Inchcolm Abbey (founded in the 12th century) located on the island of Inchcolm (in Scotland's Firth of Forth). There, the five-year-old child would be safe with the monks (and away from English soldiers).

    II.—An Account of St Columbd's Abbey, Inchcolm. Accompanied with Plans, ^c.1 (Plates IV.-VL) By THOMAS ARNOLD, Esq., Architect, M.R.LB.A, Lond. [Communicated January 11, 1869, with an Introductory Note.] NEAR the northern shores of the Firth of Forth, and within sight of Edin- burgh, lies the island anciently known as Emona, and in later times as Inchcolm, the island of St Columba. It is of very small extent, scarcely over half a mile in length, and 400 feet in width at its broadest part. The tide of commerce and busy life which ebbs and flows around has left the little inch in a solitude as profound as if it gemmed the bosom of some Highland loch, a solitude which impresses itself deeply on the stranger who comes to gaze on its ruined, deserted, and forgotten Abbey. Few even of those who visit the island from the beautiful village of Aberdour, close to it, know anything of its history, and as few out of sight of the island know of its existence at all. But although now little known beyond the shores of the Forth, Inchcolm formerly held a high place in the veneration of the Scottish people as the cradle of the religious life of the surrounding districts, and was second only to lona as a holy isle in whose sacred soil it was the desire of many generations to be buried. It numbered amongst its abbots men of high position and learning. Noble benefactors enriched it with broad lands and rich gifts, and its history and remains, like the strata of some old mountain, bear the marks of every great wave of life which has passed over our country.

By the 15th century the abbey was increasingly being used as a royal residence – James II was born there in 1430 - and by the time of the Protestant Reformation (1560) much of the monastic precinct had been subsumed into the embryonic Palace of Holyroodhouse.

The later medieval church, however, was demolished for masonry towards the end of the sixteenth century, and all that is left is its footprint and the south aisle or transept (the Lady Chapel).4 The site passed in 1924 from the earl of Moray to the care of H.

This article takes Scotland as a case study for examining how the understanding of medieval cartularies has been shaped by those works extensively used by researchers to access cartularies and their texts—in a Scottish context this is principally the antiquarian publications and modern catalogues. Both pose their own problems for scholars seeking to understand the medieval cartulary. After an in-depth examination of these issues, a radical solution is offered which shifts the attention onto the manuscripts themselves. Such an approach reveals those extant cartularies to be fundamentally varied, and not an exclusive ‘category’ as such. This in turn allows historians to appreciate the dynamic nature of them as sources for documents, and to eschew the deeply embedded tendency to see the cartulary simply as a copy of a medieval archive. Keywords: Cartularies; charters; medieval manuscripts; antiquarian editions; modern catalogues. For
