Chronology 282 INDEX 284 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have to thank the Keeper of the Records of Scotland for permission to reproduce in this volume letters from the Breadalbane Collection and the Duke of Argyll and Lord Moray for granting me access to their papers. The staff at the National Archives of Scotland, especially Dr Hazel Horn, have given me every assistance. Alastair Campbell ofAirds has generously shared his vast knowledge and enthusiasm for Campbell history with me, as well as facilitating my consultation of the Argyll MSS. I am grateful to Dr Martin MacGregor who allowed me to read and cite from his thesis on the MacGregors. Grateful acknowledgement is made to the British Academy and the Universities of Edinburgh and St Andrews for their financial support for the research behind this volume. Its final stages were completed during a fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust, to whom I offer my thanks. Without the expertise as well as the patience and good humour of, Nancy Bailey, Linda Dunbar and Anne Johnston, this volume would have taken even longer to produce. Ian Johnston kindly transformed my rough sketches into beautiful maps. My colleagues in the Department of Ecclesiastical History at Edinburgh, and previously in the Department of Modern History at St Andrews, have provided much encouragement and practical help. From inception to completion, this volume has passed through the hands of five Scottish History Society editors and I am grateful to them all, especially John Finlay and Julian Goodare who have steered the volume through its final stages. I am particularly grateful for the support and encouragement over many years of Professors Geoffrey Barrow, Donald Meek and John Morrill. Other friends, too numerous to mention individually, have assisted me in a wide variety of ways. My mother and my husband have helped most of all. JANE E. A.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

The village has an idyllic position on the banks of the River Tay and is characterised by its traditional stone houses. Strathtay has a friendly community with a village shop and post office at its heart. A bridge over the Tay links Strathtay to Grandtully where there is now a choice of places to eat out. Aberfeldy is the nearest main centre and has all essential services, including a medical centre. The town has a great selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, not to mention the Birks cinema which as well as screening mainstream films has a popular bar and café and hosts a variety of community activities. Breadalbane Academy provides nursery to sixth year secondary education. Dallraoich could hardly be better placed for enjoying the outdoors. In addition to a 9 hole golf course at Strathtay, there are golf courses at Aberfeldy, Kenmore, Taymouth Castle, Dunkeld and Pitlochry. Various water sports take place on nearby lochs and rivers, with the rapids at Grandtully being popular for canoeing and rafting.

Robert Burns We all share the distress of loss of life, the economic shutdown, loss of employment, feelings of isolation, disruption of vacation and travel plans and the many, many unknowns that are in front of us. I might make a suggestion during this time of isolation. Post your favorite snapshot of Scotland to our FB page, or make your favorite Scottish recipe (mine is crannachan) and share it with us. Have a dram of whisky. Listen to some Scottish CD's (New Zealand’s Steve MacDonald’s Sons of Somerled would be my choice or Patricia Roberts from Stirling, or Tartan Chillout). Watch a Scottish movie, Local Hero is a great one, if you have Netflix, a couple of episodes of Still Game will get you hooked. Research that ancestor that has been a roadblock, get your DNA tested. Learn a few phrases in Scots Gaelic, (Duolingo does a nice job), write an article about your ancestor for the newsletter. With travel being discontinued, and all planned activities in peril, there is still much to be thank- ful for. Alba gu bràth Yours Aye, Commander: Michael T.

  • The 5Th Earl of Argyll and Mary, Queen of Scots

    The 5Th Earl of Argyll and Mary, Queen of Scots

    THE FIFTH EARL OF ARGYLL AND MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS When Mary, Queen of Scots' name is linked to that of a man most people think immediately of high romance and passion, or even murder and rape, with a large dollop of tragedy thrown in. Three husbands had come and gone by the time Mary was twenty-five and during her long dreary single years in an English prison there was still continuous intrigue and speculation about a fourth. But the tragedy and Victorian-style melodrama of her marriages to Francis II, who died as a teenager in 1560, Darnley, who was murdered in 1567, and Bothwell, who fled Scotland in 1568, went mad in a Danish prison and died in 1578, have overshadowed the less-highly charged relationships she had with the Scottish nobles of her court. One of the most important of these was the affectionate friendship with her brother- in-law, the fifth earl of Argyll. Archibald Campbell, the 5th earl was not much older than Mary herself. He was probably born in 1538 so would have been only four years old in the dramatic year of 1542. It witnessed the birth of Mary on 8 December and, within a week, the death of her father, James V [1513-42], which made her ruler of Scotland. A regency was established with Mary as titular queen, but the main struggle for power was between those Scots who favoured the alliance with France and those who wanted friendship with England. The key issue was whether the young Queen would marry a French or an English prince.
