In 1750, he joined the house of Ronald Craufurd, a Writer to the Signet; in 1763 he married Miss Charles Murdoch, of Cumloden, Galloway. In his old age, he retired to Harviestoun, where he had built a house at the foot of the Ochils, and it was while his guest in the autumn of 1787, that Burns wrote the song "The Banks of the Devon." John Tait died on March 12, 1800, at the age of 73, and was buried at Haviestoun. He left the estates of Harviestoun in Clackmannanshire, and Cumloden in Argyllshire, to his only son, Craufurd, who married, in 1795, Lord President Sir Hay Campbell's younger daugh­ ter, Susan. He had a family of six sons and three daugh­ ters; the eldest son, John, who is painted with his grand­ father, was born February n, 1796, at 2 Park Place, Edin­ burgh, his grandfather's town house, and afterwards his own. John was educated at the High School, Edinburgh, under the famous Dr. Adams, at Harrow under Dr. Butler, and studied law at the University of Edinburgh, and at Geneva. He was called to the Bar in 1819, appointed to the office of Sheriff of Clackmannan and Kinross, and was elected Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Advocates. He married, April 30, 1824, Mary Amelia Sitwell, daughter of Francis Sitwell, Esq., of Barmoor Castle, in Northumber- landshire; he died May 22, 1877.

    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

    Scottish Art: Then and Now by Clarisse Godard-Desmarest “Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now”, an exhibition presented in Edinburgh by the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture tells the story of collecting Scottish art. Mixing historic and contemporary works, it reveals the role played by the Academy in championing the cause of visual arts in Scotland. Reviewed: Tom Normand, ed., Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now Collected by the Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture, Edinburgh, The Royal Scottish Academy, 2017, 248 p. The Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) and the National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) have collaborated to present a survey of collecting by the academy since its formation in 1826 as the Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now (4 November 2017-7 January 2018) is curated by RSA President Arthur Watson, RSA Collections Curator Sandy Wood and Honorary Academician Tom Normand. It has spawned a catalogue as well as a volume of fourteen essays, both bearing the same title as the exhibition. The essay collection, edited by Tom Normand, includes chapters on the history of the RSA collections, the buildings on the Mound, artistic discourse in the nineteenth century, teaching at the academy, and Normand’s “James Guthrie and the Invention of the Modern Academy” (pp. 117–34), on the early, complex history of the RSA.

  • The Phillipsonian Enlightenment
    The Phillipsonian Enlightenment Colin Kidd A founding Editor of Modern Intellectual History [MIH], an acclaimed biographer of Adam Smith and a prolific essayist on all aspects of the Scottish Enlightenment, from its origins to its aftermath, Nicholas Phillipson needs little introduction to the readers of this journal. However, Phillipson’s recent retirement from his editorial duties on MIH provides a suitable moment to celebrate one of the pioneers in our field. When the current Editors set out to commission an historiographical overview of Phillipson’s oeuvre and career, I was honoured to be asked and delighted to accept. Phillipson did not coin the term ‘Scottish Enlightenment’, nor was he involved in its controverted recoinage in the 1960s; nevertheless nobody did more to give it a wider currency, both in Europe and North America. The term’s original begetter in 1900 was the Scottish economist and historian, W.R. Scott,1 but at this stage it failed to catch on. It was rescued from oblivion – independently, it seems – by two antagonistic scholars, Duncan Forbes of Cambridge,2 who ran an influential Special Subject at that university on ‘Hume, Smith and the Scottish Enlightenment’, and by Hugh Trevor-Roper of Oxford, who gave a paper entitled ‘The Scottish Enlightenment’ to the International Congress of the Enlightenment in 1967.3 Yet it was Phillipson - educated largely at Cambridge, where he took Forbes’s Special Subject,4 but closer, perhaps, to Trevor-Roper in cavalier esprit – who, in a series of innovative and richly erudite pieces, not only popularised the Scottish Enlightenment as a fashionable field of academic study, but also mapped its parameters and established its central preoccupations, lines of interpretation and matters of debate.

There is no new research here, but the material may be of use to historians and others interested in early modern women philosophers.

The daughter of an Earl, she grew up on an estate near Edinburgh during the Scottish Enlightenment. Mary Shepherd's life and work were shaped in important ways by the philosophical and political controversies that arose in connection with David Hume and his philosophy. In particular, she was strongly motivated to refute the `erroneous notions’ of cause and effect advanced by Hume and his followers, which she viewed as leading to scepticism and atheism: When she undertook a public refutation of these erroneous notions of cause and effect, it must be remembered it was at a time when they were most rampant and widely spread over the northern parts of Britain in particular.

My own research on the Carment and Inglis families’ histories represents one such journey that began about half a century ago. As a boy in Sydney, I was curious about my mainly Scottish ancestry and asked my parents and other relations about it. Although I was Australian-born and never travelled outside Australia until I was an adult, Scottish associations and influences were prominent during my childhood. My Carment and Inglis grandmothers were born in Scotland, while my Carment grandfather received his university education and worked there. Scotland was often mentioned in family conversations.

At the earnest request of many of Professor Pillans’s old Students, and of others who cherish his memory, they are now re-issued in a separate and enlarged form. In one of the brief notices of the Professor which appeared in an Edinburgh Journal, immediately after his decease, a promise was made that his life and labours should be more fully reviewed, but the promise was not redeemed. The writer of this Memoir undertook, at the suggestion of the Professor, to review his “Contributions to the Cause of Education ” several years before his death. Unfortunately, other engagements prevented the execu tion of his intention. A. R. Umvsnsrrr or EDINBURGH, September, 1869. MEMOIR OF JAMES PILLANS, LL.D. —+_ VENERABLE and distinguished man, who occu pied a conspicuous position during the last fifty years, has been lost to Scotland. By the death of Dr Pillans, lately Professor of Roman Litera ture in Edinburgh University, the Scottish metropolis has been deprived of one of its oldest citizens, its ripest scholars, its most enlightened educators, and its most unwearied philan thropists. The melancholy, though not unexpected announce ment will be read by thousands of educated men in every part of the world, from lads in their teens to old men of threescore and ten, who have been members of his classes, and who will, with one voice, acknowledge their common debt of re spect and gratitude to their accomplished instructor.
