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). -
Ordinariate Newsletter 2011 – Holy
AANNGGLLIICCAANN OORRDDIINNAARRIIAATTEE FFOORR TTHHEE CCAANNAADDIIAANN FFOORRCCEESS Bulletin/Volume 8, No 1 Holy Week and Easter 2011 BISHOP ORDINARY TO THE FORCES The Right Reverend Peter Coffin STB, MA, DD 400 YEARS OF THE KING JAMES’ BIBLE by Padre David Greenwood 2011 marks the 400 th anniversary of the publication of the King James’ version of the Bible. It is this English language version that was carried by English speaking explorers and missionaries around the world. It is this translation that led to the remarkable standardization of the English language and the introduction of many new and beautiful phrases. It is this translation that some (most notably those of the King James Bible Trust) have called “the book that changed the world.” The King James’ version is not the first translation of the Bible into another language and indeed it is not event the first translation of the Bible into English. Here with great portions copied from Wikipedia, is part of the story of Biblical translation. The Bishop of the Goths Wulfila in the today's Bulgaria translated the Bible into Gothic in the mid-4th century. The earliest surviving complete manuscript of the entire Bible is the Codex Amiatinus , a Latin Vulgate edition produced in 8th century England at the double monastery of Wearmouth-Jarrow. During the Middle Ages, translation, particularly of the Old Testament, was discouraged. Nevertheless, there are some fragmentary Old English Bible translations, notably a lost translation of the Gospel of John into Old English by the Venerable Bede, which he is said to have prepared shortly before his death around the year 735. -

The Network of James Garden of Aberdeen and North-Eastern Scottish Culture in the Seventeenth Century
Kelsey Jackson Williams Network of James Garden of Aberdeen The Network of James Garden of Aberdeen and North-eastern Scottish Culture in the Seventeenth Century In April 1695 Hew Tod, the master of the Kirkwall grammar school, was writing about scurvy. “This season of the year”, he wrote, “could not but putt me in mind” of it for almost every “privat family or Tavern” in the Orkneys had its supply of ale fortified with herbs to prevent the disease. He described this and other local cures in a letter to James Garden, Professor of Divinity at King’s College, Aberdeen, who had been hounding him for almost a year for some account of his new home in the northern islands. Tod’s letter survives because Garden subsequently copied it into a letter which he wrote to the English antiquary and Fellow of the Royal Society John Aubrey in July 1695. Garden and Aubrey had been corresponding for several years and what had begun as a request from the Englishman for information on Scottish stone circles had become a rich exchange of antiquarian and natural philosophical material between the two scholars. In the process, Garden had mobilised a network of contacts which spread from Aberdeen to Tod’s Kirkwall schoolhouse, asking for information on everything from standing stones to second sight and from burial customs to scurvy cures.1 When these letters were studied by Cosmo Gordon in 1955, he recognised them as important sources for aspects of early modern Gaelic culture.2 Subsequently John Buchanan-Brown demonstrated their role in the development of Aubrey’s antiquarian works, and Michael Hunter teased out their key place in English debates over the existence and nature of second sight.3 As such, Garden’s correspondence is hardly unknown, but previous scholarship has tended either to focus on its English contexts or to mine it for information on contemporary Gaelic culture; Garden and his network of informants have been passed over. -
The Bass Rock
The Bass Rock. OAviO J l««,oi~, AT lf<<.M fJXA\ ^^ fiSli - t —____ k« . CHAPTER I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. HE rocky islands that dot the shores of the Forth have been picturesquely described by Sir Walter Scott in " Marmion " as " emeralds chased in gold." They have also been described as " bleak islets." Both these seemingly contradictory descriptions are true according as the sky is bright and sunny or, as so often happens in our northern climate, cloudy and1 overcast. Of these islands those known as the greater *' emeralds " are Inchkeith, Inchcolme, May Island, and the Bass. The lesser " emeralds " being Cramond, Inch- garvie, Fidra, Eyebroughty, and Craig Leith. Over nearly all these islands there clings a halo of romance and legend. With Inchkeith we associate a gallant chieftain, of the name of Keith, who in one of the« invasions of the Danes slew their leader, and received the island as a reward from a grateful King. 4 THE BASS ROCK. Inchcolme takes us back to the time of the Britons when the Druids are said to have here practised the mysteries of their religion. It was here, too, that David I., having sought refuge in a storm, was enter- tained by the hermit, and afterwards in gratitude founded a monastery, the ruins of which form at the present day a picturesque feature of the island. The May Island in early Christian times was dedi- cated to religious uses, and here a colony of monks under the saintly Adrian were massacred by the Danes. The beautifully shaped Fidra has also its historical associations, having had a monastic establishment in con- nection with the Abbey at North Berwick, and also a castle called Tarbert, which at one time belonged to the Lauders of the Bass. -

This study is based on the five specified document types in sources with an H- number beginning with 2. Of the 608 documents, 594 (97.7%) of which are charters. There are also 13 notifications and one charter/brieve. Agreements and settlements are not included in the study, as they are H4 documents. Of the 608 documents, over two-thirds (419) are episcopal, with a further 26 documents issued by deans and chapters or individual members of chapters. There are a further 16 documents in the names of various clerks, chaplains, magistri, and other individuals. 23% of the documents were in the names of heads and other members of religious houses, and there were a further 7 documents from military orders. Within the episcopal category, 194 were documents of the bishops of St Andrews, accounting for 46% of episcopal documents, while the bishops of Glasgow accounted for a further 62 documents. Of the religious houses, 41 were from St Andrews priory, 21 from Kelso abbey, and 14 from Arbroath abbey. Figure 6.1.
