DRUMLANRIG CASTLE AM) THE DOUGLASES: WITH THE EARLY HISTORY AND ANCIENT REMAINS DURISDEER, CLOSEBURN, AND MORTON, CRAUFURD TAIT RAMAGE, LL.D., AUTHOR OF "NOOKS AND BY-WAYS OF ITALY," " BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS FROM LATIN AUTHORS," "BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS FROM FRENCH AND ITALIAN AUTHORS," "BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS FROM GERMAN AND SPANISH AUTHORS," ETC. DUMFRIES: J. ANDERSON & SON. HODDER AND STOUGHTON, 27 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON, B.C. 1876. TO THE REV. DAVID OGILVY-RAMSAY OF WESTHALL. Rev. Sir. Admiring the catholic spirit, the zeal and unflagging attention, which you have shown in the performance of your duties since your appointment as Minister of Closeburn, I cannot refuse myself the pleasure of inscribing to you this small volume, as a mark of esteem and respect. It contains the Early History of the Parish over the spiritual interests of which you have been placed, and where I trust you may be long spared to labour in your holy calling. Believe me to remain, Rev. Sir, Your very sincere well-wisher and friend, CRAUFURD TATT RAMAGE. PREFACE. This small volume consists of an account of the Parishes of Durisdeer, Closeburn, and Morton, in Upper Niths- dale, which appeared in the Dumfries and Galloway Courier, with some scattered notices of Burns which I had recorded in the pages of Notes and Queries. As it is the result of considerable research, it has been thought proper to place it in a more permanent form than the pages of a weekly journal. An attempt has been made to bring together everything that could throw light on the early races that inhabited these parishes. Tumuli, cairns, stone and bronze celts, coins, remains of ancient camps, place-names—the most enduring and probably the most important of all the means of illustrating the races that have occupied a country—have been pressed into service, though, to do justice to the subject, a know- ledge is required much more encyclopaedical than one man can be expected to possess. The history of a country can only be reached through its individual parts : it is only by descending to particulars, and by recollect- ing that the bygone ages of the world were actually filled by living men, that the true character of ancient ; VI PREFACE. times can be thoroughly elucidated. Each portion of our country, each parish, has a story of its own, which lies at the foundation of all national history. These parishes, on which an attempt has been made to throw light, contain the first chapters of the history of Gael and Saxon, and even of the Norse rovers. Each wave of race that swept across our country left its mark on hills and streams : the tread of the Roman legions can almost be heard as they made their way laboriously through our marshes and forests; early char- ters show the gradual approach of our feudal system the mythic Arthur is not unknown among us; the heroic Bruce still lives by his place-names; Kirkpatricks, Man- devilles, and Douglases ' ' Fight and sing Their scornful way across the stage of Time." I am quite aware of the shortcomings of which I may be accused, but the far-distant period with the history of which I have been engaged, enveloped as it is in the mist of ages, must be my excuse for any mistakes into which I may have fallen. When the Drumlanrig charters have been placed before Scottish investigators of ancient times in the clear and able manner that the learning and knowledge of Mr. William Fraser, of the Register Office, who is now engaged in their illustration, will enable him to do, then the basis which has been laid by a pretty minute examination of its Inventory will enable future PREFACE. VII antiquarians to give a' more complete history of this upper vale of Nithsdale. I have not failed to examine all the chartularies of monasteries that contain references to these parishes ; and in saying so, I must not omit to acknowledge the courtesy of John Gilchrist Clark, Esq., of Speddoch, in allowing me access to his valuable library. I was thus able to have before me the works published by the Bannatyne and other Clubs, and with- out an examination of these the account would have been still more imperfect than it is. I have to thank many others of my friends for placing at my disposal whatever information they possessed; and it has been not one of the least of the pleasures attending on these investigations, that everyone to whom I applied, even though they were personally unknown, was ready to assist me in whatever way I pointed out. «>'- ,s>r INDEX i\\ • I75> 242 Agincourt, Battle of 37 Agnes, Black • 316, 346 Alexander II., Charter of • 179, 191 Alexander, Rev.

    Dr Alexander Craig Doctor in Gatehouse 1922 to 1950

    Dr Alexander Craig Doctor in Gatehouse 1922 to 1950 Birth and Early Years Alexander Currie Carruthers Craig was born in 1894 at Johnstone Bridge, Dumfriesshire. His father was Thomas Craig, a schoolmaster, who was born c.1858 in Holywood, Dumfriesshire. His mother Elizabeth Carruthers was born c.1862 at Applegarth, Dumfriesshire. The couple married at Dryfesdale, Dumfriesshire in 1886. In the 1901 Dumfriesshire census the family lived at the Schoolhouse, Johnstone. Alexander was 7 years old and had 3 older siblings (Jane, Mary and William) and 3 younger siblings (Margaret, Elizabeth and James). Alexander's schooling is unknown, but he probably attended Johnstone School, where his father was headmaster, and maybe later moved to Dumfries Academy. He attended Edinburgh University as a medical student, graduating MB ChB in 1917. In the 1911 census he may have been living in Dalkeith, outside Edinburgh. (Scotlands People index lists an Alexander C. C. Craig aged 71 – this should probably be 17) Qualification After graduating, Alexander worked as a temporary Surgeon- Lieutenant with the Royal Navy during 1918 and 1919. He also worked at the West Hertfordshire Hospital and the Bristol General Hospital. He came to Gatehouse as the local doctor about 1922, moving into Roseville, a large house in Ann Street. His surgery was a room in his house. His father Thomas also lived in Gatehouse until about 1927 and three of his sisters, Margaret, Elizabeth and Mary were living at Roseville when they each married during 1924 and 1925.

    Edward Irving

    Edward Irving: Romantic Theology in Crisis Peter Elliott Edward Irving: Romantic theology in crisis Peter Elliott BA, BD, MTh(Hons.) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………… Peter Elliott Abstract In 1822 a young Church of Scotland minister named Edward Irving accepted a post in London and quickly attracted wide upper-class support. He numbered amongst his friends and admirers the political historian Thomas Carlyle and the Romantic poet-philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge. During the next decade, Irving developed views and practices that could be described as millenarian and proto- pentecostal; his interest in prophecy grew and his Christology became unorthodox. He was ejected from his church and hundreds followed him to begin a new group. Within a short period of time, he was relegated to a subordinate position within this group, which later became the Catholic Apostolic Church. He died in 1834 at the age of 42. This paper examines Irving’s underlying Romanticism and the influences on him, including his complex relationships with Carlyle and Coleridge, and then demonstrates how his Romanticism informed all of his key theological positions, often in tension with the more established Rationalism of the time. In ejecting Irving from his pastorate, the Church of Scotland officials were rejecting his idealistic and Romantic view of Christianity. It was this same idealism, with reference to the charismata, that alienated Irving from a senior role in the nascent Catholic Apostolic Church.
