The history of the Church of Scotland has been so often written, that a new book on the same subject may perhaps be thought unnecessary. The histories of Dr. George Cook, of Mr. Grub, of Principal Cunningham, and the lectures of Principal Lee, leave little, indeed, to be desired in the way of careful and impartial narrative of events, and exhibition of principles, from the writers' respective points of view. But a glance at our title-page will show that these volumes are constructed on a plan more com- prehensive than that of any existing history of the National Church. That plan embraces not only a narrative of events, drawn from the most authentic sources, and tracing the develop- ment of the Church from its first planting by Saint Ninian on- wards to the present day ; but, in addition to, and distinct from this, a full exposition of the Church's relation to the Law and the State, of its Doctrine, Eitual, and Discipline, and of the nature of the property it holds in its Teinds, or tithes. Each of these subjects is separately treated, in a section of the work devoted to itself. The obvious advantage of this method is that the information upon each of them, which, otherwise, the reader would have to search for and disentangle from other topics at various points of the general history, is presented to him in one continuous sequence, uninterrupted by the intrusion of matters with which it has no necessary connection. Its incidental disadvantage is that each treatise, upon these individual subjects, runs some risk of overlapping. — viii rr.EFACE. at this point or at that, one or another of the rest. It has been impossible to avoid this wholly : indeed it could not have been absolutely prevented without impairing the completeness of the several treatises. To see that these should be full and exhaustive in themselves has been the editor's desire, rather than to secure that none should trespass, by a page's length, on ground traversed by another. Although each division of the book is the work of a different author, invited to contribute a share because of his known competence for the task, it will be found that, throughout the whole, there is a harmony of design and of treatment. Each of the separate dissertations exhibits its subject, in relation to the historical development of the Church ; while that development is traced, in the preceding narratives, so as to exhibit the natural progress and essential continuity which are its characteristics. The questions treated in these dissertations are all questions round which have gathered, from time to time, the keenest in- terest and the sharpest controversy. The relation of the Church to the Law and the State is, to this day, the centre of eager polemic. The principles involved in the Secession of 1843 have still their zealous defenders and vigorous assailants, who respectively affirm, and deny, that the " spiritual independence " of the Church was sacrificed to the maintenance of that relation, when to maintain it was no longer compatible with loyalty to the ecclesiastical constitution. On this alleged infringement of the rights and liberties of the Church, is based a plea for the theory that the true welfare of a Church must always be hindered, and never can be promoted, by an alliance with the State. Keproach is cast, by one party, on the Established Churches because they are in a state of alleged ; serfage to " Caesar " while, by another, the boasted liberty of the unestablished Churches is derided as an altogether illusory pos- session, powerless either to evade, or to survive, the rude shock of contact with the civil courts. While opinion is thus divided, and prejudices are strong, the formation of a reasonable because intelligent—judgment on the points at issue, is vastly PEEFACE. IX facilitated by such a lucid exposition, as is given in our first dissertation, of the relation of the Church to the Law and the State, from the days of her earliest organization, onwards to those in which wilful impatience of a statutory constitutional control threatened a rupture of the time-honoured association, of the civil and ecclesiastical powers. There has been no considerable doctrinal agitation in the Church for more than fifty years. When the arm of dogmatic intolerance was last raised, it was to expel from the Church's ministry her saintliest and profoundest divine. The deposition of John Macleod Campbell, followed, a few years later, by that of Thomas Wright of Borthwick, would seem to have appeased the jealous spirit of Calvinistic dogmatism. It has demanded no later sacrifice. But though its voice has not been heard, and no doctrinal controversy has been stirring for these many years, Scottish theology has not been dormant. In no church, we make bold to say, has theological thought advanced with better regulated steps, towards light and liberty, than in the Church of Scotland. The quietude in which controversy has been hushed has not been the silence of sleep or of death, but of peaceful progress, making its way without laborious and noisy conflict with opposing forces. The relation of that pro- gress to movements, whether of advance or of reaction, in former periods, and its essential harmony with the best elements of the theology of the Church in its earlier stages of development, cannot be justly understood, without some such review of her dogmatic history as M^e present in the dissertation on Doctrine. The Eitual of the Church, unlike her doctrine, has been the subject of recent variance and dispute in the Church courts. Even yet, among certain classes, and in some districts of the country, both little affected by the diffusion of modern culture, the idea prevails that an ugly building, and a service to which art has lent no attractiveness, are more appropriate to the worship of God than a seemly house of prayer, and a reverently adjusted ritual. It is of importance, both for the PREFACE. correction of such ignorance and prejudice, aud for the justifica- tion of those who, in spite of some obloquy, have done their best to redeem the Church from the reproach of resting content in slovenly rites, that we should possess, as we do, in the dissertation on Eitual, a comprehensive view of the history of the public worship and sacred ofhces of the Church, from their earliest forms in the Celtic missions aud monasteries, through their conformity to Eoman usage, and their various vicissitudes after the Eeformation, onward to the recent period, when a more devout feeling and refined taste began to displace what Avas uncouth, and to restore what was lacking. The Discipline of the Church had, before the Eeformation, become so closely entangled with the superstitions and abuses of the Eomish polity, and has, since that critical era, been administered, at first with such unreasonable stringency, and latterly with such varieties of method and of strictness, that the student of the disciplinary principles and system of the Scottish branch of the Church Catholic, will be thankful for the flood of light thrown on these by Dr. Edgar's dissertation. The patrimony of the Kirk is a wide subject ; but the large " portion of it included under the familiar term " Teind is that which is of most immediate interest to the parochial incumbent, and which has been made the object of most frequent mis- representation, on the part of those who seek to maintain the thesis that the Teind was bestowed on the Kirk by the State, and may be resumed at its pleasure. That this thesis is incon- sistent with the facts and the law of the case, we venture to think, will be apparent to the impartial reader, on a perusal of the last of our dissertations—contributed by a writer, whose official position is at once a guarantee of his mastery of his subject, and of his accuracy of statement.

  • Thomas Carlyle and Juniper Green
    www.junipergreen300.com Thomas Carlyle and Juniper Green Thomas Carlyle by Walter Greaves about 1879. Thomas Carlyle, 1795 - 1881. Historian and essayist A giant of nineteenth-century thought, Thomas Carlyle was the son of a stone- mason and was born in Ecclefechan, Dumfriesshire. After graduating from Edinburgh University, he began to produce the articles, translations, essays and histories which were to make him world-famous. Carlyle and his gifted wife Jane lived in London, and their home in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, became a place of pilgrimage for intellectuals from all over Europe. Greaves was a neighbour and made the studies for this portrait while Carlyle was sitting for James McNeil Whistler. National Portrait Gallery of Scotland. There has long been a tradition in Juniper Green that Thomas Carlyle, that eminent Victorian, spent some time in the village not long after his marriage to Jane Welsh. Thomas Carlyle was born on the 4th December, 1795, at Ecclefechan, Dumfriesshire the second son of James Carlyle, and the eldest child of his second marriage. Thomas and Jane Carlyle married on October 17th, 1826 at Templand, Thornhill, in Dumfriesshire and moved to Comely Page 1 Bank, Edinburgh, their first home, on the same day. It follows that any sojourn by Carlyle in Juniper Green must have been in the late 1820s. The earliest mention of this tradition so far found is in ‘Old and New Edinburgh’ by James Grant Vol. III Chapter XXXVIII p. 323 where it states: “Near Woodhall in the parish of Colinton, is the little modern village of Juniper Green, chiefly celebrated as being the temporary residence of Thomas Carlyle some time after his marriage at Comely Bank, Stockbridge where, as he tells us in his “Reminiscences” (edited by Mr Froude), “his first experience in the difficult task of housekeeping began”.

  • 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.

  • Philip De Sayton's Grandfather Fought with William the Conqueror At
    Philip de Sayton’s grandfather fought with William the Conqueror at Hastings in 1066. Winton was built by the Setons following a grant of land by David I to Phillip de Sayton in 1150. Phillip’s grandson married the sister of King Robert “The Bruce” of Scotland. In the sixteenth century, Henry VIII had Winton burnt in an effort to impress Mary Queen of Scots, and Mary Seton was later her Lady-in-Waiting. The Seton’s tenure lasted until 1715 when they backed the Jacobites and the Earl of Winton was taken to the Tower of London. The Earl’s capture ended an era when Kings were entertained and master craftsmen were engaged fresh from Edinburgh Castle to embellish Winton House in the style of the Scottish Renaissance. In the absence of the Earl but in his name, Winton was requisitioned by Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745 when his rebel army camped on Winton Estate. The Hamilton Nisbets, who bought the House and Estate, linked it to one of the greatest inheritances of the 18th and 19th centuries. The furnishings came from all over Europe and the Turkish Empire and the impressive estates covered some of the country's best farmland. Golf was not just a pastime but was carried out on estate land, which, at that time, included Muirfield and Gullane Links. For over a century, Winton has hosted musical evenings and private functions; more recently it has successfully been used for corporate dinners and lunches, conferences, product launches and weddings, using the main rooms of the House.

  • Thinking Allowed
    L HIL RD A H C R O THINKING ALLOWED S N IR CA Programme of Lectures and Events 2013 – 2014 Cairns Church, 11 Buchanan Street, Milngavie Orchardhill Parish Church, 12 Church Road, Giffnock THINKING ALLOWED INTRODUCTION Scottish religion, down through the centuries, has generally been seen as overly orthodox and dogmatic. The strong influences of Calvinism touched most aspects of life, resulting in a general ease with all matters traditional, and an intuitive fear of ideas and convictions created “outside the box”. Given such a historical background, it is somewhat surprising that as a nation we have managed to produce quite a number of distinguished thinkers; radical theologians who in their own way had the courage to think aloud and, more than that, were prepared to accept the consequences that followed. Folk like Thomas Aikenhead, hanged at Leith in 1696 for sharing ideas gleaned from his University reading list, or John Mcleod Campbell, condemned by the General Assembly of 1831 for suggesting that Christ died for all, not just the elect. And as late as 1880, William Robertson Smith was sacked by his University for daring to raise critical questions about the Bible in an Encyclopaedia Britannica article! All of these people shared an honest desire to express the truth as they saw it. None claimed to be without error. None of them believed that their ideas represented the last word. In the spirit of “Thinking Allowed”, they simply held to the view that new angles and fresh perspectives were the essential currency of Christianity. What was true then, is still true today.

  • Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland in August 14-26, 2014: Journal of Lyle Dunbar
    Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland in August 14-26, 2014: Journal of Lyle Dunbar Introduction The Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland from August 14-26, 2014, was organized for Clan Dunbar members with the primary objective to visit sites associated with the Dunbar family history in Scotland. This Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland focused on Dunbar family history at sites in southeast Scotland around Dunbar town and Dunbar Castle, and in the northern highlands and Moray. Lyle Dunbar, a Clan Dunbar member from San Diego, CA, participated in both the 2014 tour, as well as a previous Clan Dunbar 2009 Tour of Scotland, which focused on the Dunbar family history in the southern border regions of Scotland, the northern border regions of England, the Isle of Mann, and the areas in southeast Scotland around the town of Dunbar and Dunbar Castle. The research from the 2009 trip was included in Lyle Dunbar’s book entitled House of Dunbar- The Rise and Fall of a Scottish Noble Family, Part I-The Earls of Dunbar, recently published in May, 2014. Part I documented the early Dunbar family history associated with the Earls of Dunbar from the founding of the earldom in 1072, through the forfeiture of the earldom forced by King James I of Scotland in 1435. Lyle Dunbar is in the process of completing a second installment of the book entitled House of Dunbar- The Rise and Fall of a Scottish Noble Family, Part II- After the Fall, which will document the history of the Dunbar family in Scotland after the fall of the earldom of Dunbar in 1435, through the mid-1700s, when many Scots, including his ancestors, left Scotland for America.
