THE FRINGES OF FIFE NEW AND ENLARGED EDITION BY JOHN GEDDIE Author ot "The FiiniJes of Edinburjh," etc. Illustrated by Artliur Wall and Louis Weirter, R.B.A. LONDON: 38 Soto Square. W. 1 W. & R. CHAMBERS. LIMITED EDINBURGH: 339 High Street TO GEORGE A WATERS ' o{ the ' Scotsman MY GOOD COLLEAGUE DURING A QUARIER OF A CENTURY FOREWORD *I'll to ¥\ie:—Macl'eth. Much has happened since, in light mood and in light marching order, these walks along the sea- margin of Fife were first taken, some three-and-thirty years ago. The coasts of 'the Kingdom' present a surface hardened and compacted by time and weather —a kind of chequer-board of the ancient and the modern—of the work of nature and of man ; and it yields slowly to the hand of change. But here also old pieces have fallen out of the pattern and have been replaced by new pieces. Fife is not in all respects the Fife it was when, more than three decades ago, and with the towers of St Andrews beckoning us forward, we turned our backs upon it with a promise, implied if not expressed, and until now unfulfilled, to return and complete what had been begun. In the interval, the ways and methods of loco- motion have been revolutionised, and with them men's ideas and practice concerning travel and its objects. Pedestrianism is far on the way to go out of fashion. In 1894 the 'push-bike' was a compara- tively new invention ; it was not even known by the it was still name ; had ceased to be a velocipede, but a bicycle.

  • THE THREE ARCHBISHOPS of the HOUSE of BETHUNE/BEATON! This Is a Paper Which Might Be About the Reformation in Scotland but It Is Not
    29 THE THREE ARCHBISHOPS OF THE HOUSE OF BETHUNE/BEATON! This is a paper which might be about the Reformation in Scotland but it is not. I will not attempt in this paper to give an account of the opposition to the Reformation of Cardinal David Beaton which would require a separate paper. What I desire to do instead is to refer to the three Archbishops of the same family over a period of more than 100 years (1493 to 1603), as a background to some general points about power and influence in a society dominated by clans and families and some thoughts on the inextricable binding together of religion and politics in 16th century Scotland as an illustration of that binding together throughout the whole of Europe from much earlier times through to significantly later times. Scotland and the Scots retain today far more vestiges and survivals of the system of clan or family dependence and support than do most societies in which it occurred. The clan system or family alliances seems to have remained far stronger in Scotland by the 16th century than it was elsewhere in Europe though it was a well known phenomenon everywhere. Accordingly it is worth looking at why the Bethunes were a family of influence and note by the early 16th century. The first authentic reference to the family is found in 1165 about the end of the reign of William the Lion or the beginning of the reign of Alexander II. One Robert de Beton was witness to an important charter by Roger de Quincey then Constable of Scotland to Seyerus de Seton in relation to lands at Tranent.

  • George Buchanan
    ScotiaJi '^ateym hunc jektlarw ^rodupcit ad atrton. Credo cjuid-mv ^Mdj ^e^rcalu^r ^o^j George Buchanan HUMANIST AND REFORMER EDINBURGH: DAVID DOUGLAS 1 890 [A U rights reserved. ] PREFACE. The foundation of all tlie biographies of Buchanan is a short Latin sketch written two years before his death—in all probability by himself, at the sug- gestion of his friends. On this sketch we have two commentaries, one by Sir Robert Sibbald (1707), the other by Ruddiman, both of which add a few details to its somewhat meagre outline. The only considerable biography of Buchanan is that of Dr. David Irving, the second and last edition of which appeared in 1817. The excellent account of Buchanan in the Dictionary of National Biography, by Mr. .^neas Mackay, is also deserving of special mention. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Buchanan was the subject of interminable controversies ; but the main sources of our infor- mation regarding him are those which have just been named. The idea of writing a new biography of Buchanan was seriously entertained both by Sir PREFACE. William Hamilton and Mr. James Hannay ; but there is now a special reason for the work they contem- plated. Of the seventy-six years of Buchanan's life, more than thirty were spent abroad ; and this period of his career has hitherto been all but an entire blank. Eecent histories, however, of the very institutions with which, during those years, Buchanan was mainly connected, bring vividly before us the world in which he moved, as well as the aims and interests of men of his type during the sixteenth century.

Each of the main three chapters will consider one miscellany manuscript in its complex totality, dealing with questions of provenance, ownership, editorial history, literary analysis, and an assessment of the manuscript in its wider cultural context. Manuscript transcriptions are appended, particularly since the contents of two out of three of the miscellanies discussed here have never been printed.

  • Kate Williams with Jenni Calder JENNI CALDER
    Kate Williams with Jenni Calder JENNI CALDER: Hello everyone, my name is Jenni Calder and I'm delighted to welcome you and our author Kate Williams to this session of the Big Book Weekend. This is part of Burnham's Book Festival. Many of you are probably familiar with Kate Williams, you'll have seen her on TV or heard her on the radio or read one or more of her many books. She is a Professor of History at the University of Reading. But she is a professor with a difference, in that she's concerned with making the past, and the people of the past, accessible. Understanding the past is not just about knowing the facts, but engaging with real people in the context of the times in which they lived. And to do that takes not just a lot of skill, but empathy for place and period, as well as personalities. And Kate has a lot of empathy, I think, plus what I can only describe as a kind of generosity towards the past. Kate's written several biographies, all of women, and all of women having to find a place in a man's world. She also writes fiction, with four novels published to date. But today we're going to talk about her latest work of history, which is called Rival Queens: The Betrayal of Mary, Queen of Scots, and there it is. And this is a book which examines the parallel lives of Mary and Elizabeth I, who are cousins, queens of adjacent kingdoms, each in a position of power; but at the same time, both very vulnerable, each trying to navigate the intricacies of national and international power politics at the time.
