  • FOOD MENU Walls: Lady Betty Cunningham and Her Brother, James - Earl of Glencairn
    This beautiful building has a long history. One of its most fascinating periods saw a private family living within these FOOD MENU walls: Lady Betty Cunningham and her brother, James - Earl of Glencairn. They were close friends with Robert Burns, Scotland’s National Bard who, when seeking publishing approval, used to send his poems to this address, 19 St Andrew Square. Rabbie witnessed a drinking game that involved three lairds drinking themselves under the table. The last man able to blow the ebony whistle was the winner and, as a symbol of his prowess, could exhibit the wee flute as a necklace for the entire week. On this particular occasion, the winner supposedly consumed eight bottles of claret. An inspired Burns wrote, in 1789, a ballad called “The Whistle” - we hope you will enjoy this extract, maybe while savouring a good, old, Scottish Single Malt Whisky.

  • November 2020 Newsletter
    Scottish Heritage USA NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2020 Traprain Law – site of Roman Treasure ISSUE #5-2020 ROMAN TREASURE IN SCOTLAND! n 1919 the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland uncovered on Traprain Law in I East Lothian a hoard of Roman silver plate. The robbers, Saxon or Celtic, had begun to reduce the treasure to bullion. But for some reason they cached their spoil and fled. None returned to claim it, and there lay, among the fragmented metal for some 1,500 years , one vessel which had escaped serious damage – a small triangular bowl with a rim of half beads cast solid. Traprain Law, a volcanic ‘plug’ rising abruptly from the Lothian plain, is situated four Site where the horde was found miles east of Haddington and about one mile south of the A1 trunk road, the Great Post Road between Edinburgh and London in coaching days. Traprain bowl – a replica was given In primitive times the natural defenses of the Law were almost as formidable as those of to Scottish the Castle Rock of Edinburgh. There is evidence of occupation through the later Stone Heritage by The Age (c. 2000 BC), the Bronze Age (c. 1500 BC) and the Iron Age (c. 200 BC). National Trust in 1972 The Votadini, whose princely house became allies of Rome before or soon after the first invasion of Scotland by Julius Agricola in AD 79, built a great fortified hill-top town. Traprain may indeed have been their capital, the high seat of chiefs who ruled Lothian, Berwickshire and Northumberland until the end of the 4th Century.
