No.22 Anstruther, Henry of: conf. of land in Anstruther granted by his father Henry. [Date: The initial grant by his father Henry predated no. 251, a papal confirmation (8.6.1229). This and no. 24 may have post-dated no. 251.] NB. Henry father of Henry of Anstruther was probably the same Henry who witnessed a confirmation by Adam of Stawell to St Andrews Priory, 1215x25 ( St And. Liber , 271-2). No.23 Vaux, William de: ch. of Gullane: circa 16.4.1221 or shortly thereafter. [Date: in presence of Brother James, papal legate; see no. 26 below ] No.24 Anstruther, William, s. of Henry: probably after no. 22; x 27.8.1288 [Date: William’s son Henry declared lawful heir; CDS ii, no. 340] NB. This, like no. 22, is a confirmation of the initial grant. Unlike no. 22, it is worded as a confirmation ( concessisse et hac carta mea confirmasse ) rather than a grant ( dedisse et concessisse et hac carta mea confirmasse ); thus, it may also be a confirmation of no. 22, which appears to be a re-grant in warrandice. It is possibly more likely that this William is the brother (rather than the son) of the Henry who granted no. 22, making both the sons of the 2 SYLLABUS OF SCOTTISH CARTULARIES DRYBURGH Henry who made the initial grant x 1229. See also nos. 302, 303 below. This William and perhaps the Henry in no. 22 appears to be the ‘predecessors’ mentioned in no. 302.

Ash, St Andrews Capitular Acts, no. C6. NB. It is possible that this capitular confirmation, which probably was written a few years after Bishop William’s charter (no. 27 above), is in some way tied to the motivation to gain papal confirmation of this grant ‘ in proprios usos ’ in 1229.

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).

  • DRYBURGH ABBEY. an Important William IV Castle Top Snuff Box Made in Birmingham in 1834 by Joseph SOLD Willmore
    DRYBURGH ABBEY. An important William IV Castle Top Snuff Box made in Birmingham in 1834 by Joseph SOLD Willmore. REF:- 202302 1 Mary Cooke Antiques Ltd 12 The Old Power Station 121 Mortlake High Street London SW14 8SN 0208 876 5777 https://marycooke.co.uk/dryburgh-abbey-an-important-william-iv-castle-top-snuff-box 03/10/2021 Short Description The Snuff Box is broad rectangular in form with a cast floral and foliate border on both the cover and base. The sides and base are decorated with engine turning and the centre of the base is engraved with J. Pitcher, the gift of Mr Holman, on a rectangular disc cartouche. The interior is finely gilded and displays crisp marks and the cover shows a finely detailed view of Dryburgh Abbey in high relief. The cover also displays the title of the scene in the bottom left hand corner, which is rarely seen on snuff boxes with views on the cover. Dryburgh is a ruined abbey beside the river Tweed between Melrose and Kelso. It is smaller than the nearby abbeys at Jedburgh, Kelso and Melrose. The abbey was established by the Premonstratensian Order in 1150. Sir Walter Scott, the novelist,was buried here on 26th September, 1832, beside some of his ancestors and his wife, who had pre-deceased him in 1826. The quality of this box is outstanding and it is most unusual and very rare to see this view on a Snuff Box. Length: 2.75 inches, 6.88cm Width: 1.75 inches, 4.38cm. Depth: 0.9 inches, 2.25 cm.

The upstanding remains incorporate fine architecture from the 12th, 13th and 15th centuries. Following the Protestant Reformation (1560) the abbey passed through several secular hands, until coming into the possession of David Erskine, 11th earl of Buchan, who recreated the ruin as the centrepiece of a splendid Romantic landscape. Buchan, Sir Walter Scott and Field-Marshal Earl Haig are all buried here. While a greater part of the abbey church is now gone, what does remain - principally the two transepts and west front - is of great architectural interest. The cloister buildings, particularly the east range, are among the best preserved in Scotland. The chapter house is important as containing rare evidence for medieval painted decoration. The whole site, tree-clad and nestling in a loop of the River Tweed, is spectacularly beautiful and tranquil.

From its source, the first 75 miles lie in Scotland, the next 19 miles forming the border between Scotland and England, while the final 4 miles to the North Sea are completely in England. It is divided into four main sections: Upper Tweed, Middle Tweed, Lower Tweed and Bottom Tweed.1 The focus of this paper is on the names of salmon pools in those parts of the river (in Lower Tweed and Bottom Tweed) which fall into the historical county of Berwickshire in Scotland, the place-names of which are being surveyed for the Recovering the Earliest English Language in Scotland: Evidence from Place-Names project, based at the University of Glasgow and funded for three years (2016–2018) by the Leverhulme Trust.2 While the project is surveying the major names for all 32 parishes in Berwickshire, more detailed survey is being undertaken for the four Tweedside parishes of Eccles, Coldstream, Ladykirk and Hutton which lie along the Anglo-Scottish border where the Tweed forms the boundary, plus the two neighbouring parishes of Foulden and Mordington.

  • Scottish Place-Name News No. 34
    No. 34 Spring 2013 The Newsletter of the SCOTTISH PLACE-NAME SOCIETY COMANN AINMEAN-ÀITE NA H-ALBA Defying with a coat of warm pink its sometimes chilly setting nearly 300 metres up on a hillside to the west of upper Lauderdale, is Channelkirk, the parish church for the village of Oxton in north-west Berwickshire. This ‘hidden gem’ of 1817, designed by James Gillespie Graham to replace a much older structure, is not signposted from the main A68 road through Lauderdale. The location was not always so far from the beaten track: it was beside a spring on or very close to Dere Street, the main north-south road built by the Romans and still used long after they had gone. The medieval church was dedicated to St Cuthbert. In a brilliant piece of scholarship in his parish history of 1900, the Rev Archibald Allan disproved notions that the name referred to ‘shingle’ or to ‘children’ (specifically the Holy Innocents). Using a range of sources he showed that of all the wildly variable medieval and later forms Childeschirche was closest to the original sense of ‘church of the cild ’ (youth of high status) Cuðberht ; and the motive for the siting was the belief that this was where the noble-born shepherd lad and future saint had a vision of St Aidan being borne up to heaven by angels after his death on 31 August 651. Oxton is one of those place-names with a treacherously ‘obvious’ explanation. The series Ullfkeliston 1206, Ulkilstoun c1220, Ulkes - 1273, Ugis - 1463 -4, Uxtoun mid 17 th century (Blaeu map) shows that it is based on Ulfkell , a personal name of Scandinavian origin.

  • Pencaitland Parish Church His
    Pencaitland Parish Church The following history of Pencaitland Church was written as a “walk-around” guide to this beautiful place of worship. It was written by R.W.Barker, Session Clerk for over thirty years, and first published in 1970. It was subsequently reprinted in 1993, following the celebration of the church’s 750th anniversary of its consecration. There has been a church at Pencaitland from an early date in the history of the parochial system in Scotland, if not from its very inception, and so that we may get our story into proper perspective we should have a brief look at the way in which the parish system of church organisation arose. It was left to the sons of the Saintly Queen Margaret to reconstruct the organisation of the Church, and David I (1124-1153) was particularly active in this work. However, it was his brother and predecessor, Alexander I (reigned 1107-1124) who put English or Norman bishops into the Celtic Cathedral of St. Andrews. Before the Scottish Reformation, Pencaitland Parish was in the Diocese of St. Andrews, the Archdeaconry of Lothian and the Deanery of Haddington. During the time of David, a peaceful Norman invasion of Scotland took place and settlers from England, or farther afield, were granted tracts of land in return for keeping law and order in the area. In due course with the establishment of episcopal dioceses, the baronial areas, in some of which new churches had been built by the barons, became natural subdivisions of the diocese, and became the parish. This division into parishes was not completed in David's reign, however, and long after his death many districts remained without a Parish Church.
