L, Shand'. of Messrs Shand, Haldane, & Co., 24, Rood Lane, London. THE FAMILY OF RHIND. EARLY NOTICES OF THE SURNAME OF RHIND. The family of Rhind is by many supposed to have originated in the Low Countries; but the probability is greater that the name is of native origin, and derived either from the parish of Rynd, in Perth- shire, or from the estate of Rhind (in 1509' Rynde)', in Fifeshire. The name is said to signify in Gaèlìc ' a point,' 1365.—In the Register of the Privy Council' of Scotland, Patrick Rynd appears in 1365 as bailie of Forfar. In Robertson's Index of Charters Sub David II. (1329-1370) appears notice of a charter to "Marthacus Rind' of four oxengate of land of Cass and four oxengate in the forest of Platter, in the County of Forfar; also, a similar charter to Murthaens del Rynd granted at Dundeè on the 31st of July and in the 37th year of the reign of the same sovereign (1365), the reddendo in the latter case being of albarum cirothecarum, or 2d. in silver, in name of blench, only if asked, and at 'our manor of Forfar.' 1415 — Alexander de Rend, Knight, is witness to a deed dated at Aberdeen 6th February 1415 (Register of the Bishopric of Moray). 1436.—In the Obits of the Cathedral of Aberdeen under date 4th of Ides of March 1436—this being the date of his death (.?)—occùrs Henry Rynde, Treasurer of the Church of Aberdeen, who gifted to the chaplains of the C'hurch of Aberdeen 16s. annual rent arising from the croft or land of the Hedunnys Hill and' of the Langlandise for the anniversary of his father and mother, &c.

Among the vestments for the high altar are in- cluded "unum vestimentum de blanco serico cum duabus tunicis datum, per Magistrun Henricum BanffshireRynde, thesauriarium.'

There are no doubt earlier references to the name Rhind in Banff or Moray, but the earliest we remember at present Elchiner Rind in Elgin, who married Margaret Angous in 1615. In 1627, we meet with James Rind, gardener to my Lord of Murray, and it is not unlikely the Banff Rhinds came from Elgin. William Rhind was a merchant in Elgin in 1685. In 1713, Rev. Thomas Rhind was served heir to John Rhind. his uncle, gardener in the College of Elgin. In 1787, James Rhind in Elgin was served heir to his father, James Rhind, mason there. 1640, February 18.—Jonet Makcull, spouse of John Rynd, merchant, burgess of Edinburgh, heir portioner of David Mackcall.

The 'witch' had to pay two dollars to the clerk, and make her repentance. At a later period Christian Banffshiregot into more serious troubl eField with the Presbyter yClub for having her marriage solemnized by 'a mass priest.' We also meet with Robert Rhind in the Raws of Huntly. John Rind who would not sub- scribe the Covenant in 1643, and who openly said in the Kirkyard of Aberchirder that all that subscribed the same would be hanged. 26 1648. June 9,—Thomas Rynd, burgess of Perth. (lnq.Gen.) 1660.-Tombstone in Carmyllie Churchyard— 'Heir lyes ane honest man James Rind, husband to Helen Philp, who departed this lyfe 8 of Janvari 1660. of age 80.' 1664.—Carmyllie tombstone-'Heir lyes James Rind younger, who departed this lyfe, the 10 Of Janvari 1664, of age 31. 1662, April 24.-William Rind, heir of James Rind, rnason, burgess of Stirling, his father.

Feb. 7 —Among the Rose MSS. is a letter to Lord Fife from Thomas Rhind, accountant, Union Bank, Paisley. 1808.—Alexander Rhind and Ann Cook, Fraser- burgh, had a son William ; and in 1810 a son John. (Reg. of Births of Parish of Fraserburgh). BanffshireTHE RHINDS OF FieldBANFF. Club The earliest mention of the name Rhind in the records of the burgh or parish of Banff is in the register of births for the year 1674. where is recorded the baptism of ' William, son of Robert Turner and Janet Rinn his Bpouse. William Cuming of Auchry witness.' 27 Whether Janet Rinn, i.e.. Rind or Rhind, was of Banff descent cannot now be positively asserted, neither can it be clearly proved that she was directly connected with the family whose descent we are now tracing, but the presumption is that such was the case. Robert Turner, a member of the Town Council of Banff, and a cooper by trade, was the son of James Turner, merchant, Banff, and lived in a house in Water Lane, which was erected in 1675. probably not long after his marriage, and stood till within A year or two ago. when it was demolished. An illus- tration of it appears in 'The Annals of Banff,' Vol. II.

    PRINCES STREET – CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE ASSESSMENT Introduction The Princes Street Heritage Framework study area comprises a long, section of the city centre extending along the full length of Princes Street, over a single city block and bounded by Rose Street to the north. The site lies within the New Town Conservation Area and the Edinburgh World Heritage Site. The site contains a substantial number of buildings included on the Statutory List of Buildings of Historic or Architectural Interest (14 Category A, 79 Category B, and 11 Category C). The purpose of the Heritage Framework was to better understand the features, details and planned form which give the area its historic character and identity, and to provide a context for its preservation, development and management. The study established the development sequence and form of the surviving James Craig plan, the individual historic structures and the townscape. A more detailed understanding and assessment of the character, quality and comparative cultural significance of individual buildings is now required as a prerequisite to making decisions about the future of the area. Cultural significance refers to the collection of values associated with a place which together identify why it is important. The Burra Charter suggests that ‘Cultural significance is embodied in the place itself, its fabric, setting, use, associations, meanings, records, related places and related objects’. Where decisions are being made about the future of historic buildings, their historic and architectural significance should be adequately assessed. This should form part of the master planning and design process, and the assessment undertaken at the earliest opportunity and before detailed proposals are drawn up for the regeneration.

Swinney Institute of Geography University of Edinburgh ABSTRACT This thesis adopts a primarily process-based methodology to put a museum in its place as a site of knowledge-making. It examines the practices of space which were productive of a government-funded (‘national’) museum in Edinburgh. Taking a spatial perspective, and recognising that place is both material and metaphorical, the thesis explores how the Museum’s material and intellectual architectures were produced over the period 1854-1939.

Laura S Harrison November 2018 Abstract Marinell Ash famously referred to the latter half of the nineteenth century as experiencing a ‘strange death’ in interest in the Scottish historical past, but increasing evidence suggests this was not an entirely fair assessment. Rather than ‘dying’, interest in the past was expressed in ways beyond the club books, texts, and other antiquarian pursuits that were the focus of Ash’s work, and instead were taken up by more public displays of commemoration.
