View Clan Dhai Membership List, 1912 The Clan Dhai Association forerunner of the current Clan Davidson Association, which re-formed in 1990 The Association of the Clan Dhai was formed in 1909 and soon gathered many Davidsons and their families as members. The Association published its membership list in 1912. It is this list which forms the basis of the information that we have shown below. Today, this early membership list forms an important part of our Clan Davidson Historical Archive. In recent years, we have been able to identify far more detail about many of the families included. Please do contact us if you believe your family was part of the membership at any time.

Rather it suggeststhat a number of significant poets emerged in the period who represent an ongoing clearly Scottish tradition, characterised by protean identities and eccentricity, which leads on to MacDiarmid and the `Scottish Renaissance'of the twentieth century. The work of the poets in question is thus seen as marked by recurring linguistic, stylistic and thematic eccentricities which are often radical and subversive.

  • 1 “To [My History], Which in Its Scottish Dress Could Interest Scotsmen
    1 “To [my history], which in its Scottish dress could interest Scotsmen only, I have, with some trouble, given the power to speak to all through the medium of Latin.”1 John Lesley’s characterisation of his own De Origine et Moribus Scotorum (1578) identifies two important and obvious features of Scottish Latinitas: the breadth of audience, and the Scottish participation in European culture. Even in Lesley’s account, however, there may be discerned an element of defensiveness, in the need to court an audience for Scottish affairs using an international language. While such a position is not really tenable, given the interest in and importance of Lesley’s queen to European affairs, nevertheless it could be argued that a similar defensiveness has coloured the scholarship of Scottish Latinitas for several, far more recent, decades.2 This collection challenges that perspective, by exploring without apology aspects of Scottish Latinitas from the eighth century to the seventeenth, and opening that great area of Scottish culture to further scholarly scrutiny, to support its rediscovery in anthologies and histories, and crucially to embed it in our understanding of Scottish culture from the eighth to the eighteenth centuries, rather than isolating it as a curious and additional cousin to the vernacular cultures.3 That a battle standard for new approaches to Scottish Latinitas should be raised by a volume of essays with its foundations in the 13th International Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Scottish Language and Literature, held in Padua

  • ARTHUR JOHNSTON's MAGNUM OPUS Roger PH Green It May
    ON NOT BEING BUCHANAN: ARTHUR JOHNSTON’S MAGNUM OPUS Roger P. H. Green It may be that to the international world of neo-Latinists the poetry of Arthur Johnston is less familiar than that of George Buchanan. This was not the perception of his contemporaries, nor is it true of Scottish scholars more recently: while Buchanan was (as he often still is) famed as ‘easily the chief of poets of our age’, as his publisher – not of course unaffected by commercial interests or personal affection for Buchanan – claimed,1 Johnston received comparable tributes from at least one contemporary;2 and in the preface to that monument of later Scottish Latin poetry, the Delitiae poetarum Scotorum, Johnston is praised as the leading light of his own time, a fit follower of Buchanan, the sun which has now set.3 Robert Crawford has recently referred to the two poets as ‘Apollos of the North’,4 and in the late nineteenth century Johnston was the subject of a useful two-volume edition by W. D. Geddes,5 long before there was any thought of replacing Ruddiman’s edition and commentary on Buchanan.6 Arthur Johnston7 was born in Caskieben, a small village in north-east Scotland, in about 1579.8 He was educated locally, and then in the univer- sity of Aberdeen, and much later would be its rector from 1637 to 1641, the year of his death. His poems were printed there, and he always kept close links with the learned men of Aberdeen, many of them doctors like him- self; but he was also for much of his life a typical Scot abroad, especially in 1 H.

    A NEW BURNS HERITAGE TARTAN Burns Heritage is a new tartan, launched by Burns National Heritage Park. The tartan has been designed with a classic, elegant pattern, suitable for both men and women. The pattern is inspired by the tartans of a number of the families whose lives were intertwined with the life and legacy of Scotland’s National Poet. The tartan is available from Burns National Heritage Park as Gentlemen’s stretch caps, county caps, neckties and skirt lengths. It will soon be available in a number of other styles. A new wine label has also been launched. Prominently featuring the Bard on its label, Burns Cottage wine comes both as a crisp Chardonnay and a fruity Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are selected from quality New World producers by Tim Morrison Fine Wines of Maybole, Ayrshire. Sales of the new tartan and Burns Cottage wines will help preserve the rich Burns heritage of Alloway, contributing to the upkeep of Burns Cottage, the Burns Monument, Kirk Alloway and the auld Brig o’ Doon as well as helping the Park to refurbish Burns Cottage Museum.

View it in your browser. +44 (0)1383 420104 Member Log-in > Forth Estuary Forum E-Bulletin May 2016 Forth Ferry officially launches following successful trial Seafari Adventures and the Scottish Seabird Centre officially launch the Forth Ferry for the 2016 season, following a very successful trial of the service in 2015 and in conjunction with VisitScotland’s Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design. The Forth Ferry offers a unique passenger service between the popular seaside towns of North Berwick, East Lothian and Anstruther, Fife. Each crossing takes approximately 45 minutes on board the 55-seat Catamaran, and allows visitors to enjoy days out in either location. The aim of the Forth Ferry is to forge closer tourism links between East Lothian and Fife, offering locals and visitors alike opportunities for great days out on both sides of the Forth. Colin Aston, Managing Director of Seafari Adventures, said: “The trial of the Forth Ferry in 2015 was a great success, with lots of demand for the service and really positive feedback. There were also some really insightful comments from passengers and we have used these to make the Forth Ferry the best that we can.” Tom Brock OBE, Chief Executive of the Scottish Seabird Centre and a Director of the Forum, said: “With a long and rich history, this crossing was previously the ‘Pilgrim’s Ferry’ dating back over 1,000 years and used by pilgrims on their way to St Andrews. It has been wonderful, not only to reinstate this historic route, but to experience a demand for it to continue.

  • A Brief History of Education in the Parish of Lasswade by Jim Murray February 2017
    A Brief History of Education in the Parish of Lasswade by Jim Murray February 2017 Introduction This pamphlet was produced with the aim of disseminating the results of research undertaken by the Society into educational development in the Parish from the early 17thC until the mid20thC. In the 16th C the Roman Catholic Church following the First Council of Trent in 1549 reminded of the need for a school in every parish. Following the Reformation, the reformers were keen that the laity should be able to read the Bible and a school should be established in every parish. In 1616 an act in Privy Council commanded every parish to establish a school "where convenient means may be had", and when the Parliament of Scotland ratified this with the Education Act of 1633, a tax on local landowners was introduced to provide the necessary endowment. By the 17th Century a considerable proportion of children in Scotland was literate compared with England and other countries in Europe. Developments in local education can best be ascertained through investigation of the Kirk Session records. In Lasswade the first documented school was that run by Mouth of Spout Burn near St Anne’s House in Lasswade today Andrew Watson from 1615. It was based in a cottage situated at the mouth of the Spout Burn, which is now the location of St Anne’s House in the village. There is conjecture that prior to this some education may have taken place in the church premises located in the original graveyard at the top of School Brae.

DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR SCOTTISH NEO-LATIN LITERATURE Ralph McLean Although works in Latin have been produced in Scotland for well over a millennium, in the modern age, as proficiency in the language declined, it became something of a poor relation for literary study, with works in English, Scots, and, Gaelic attracting more attention from scholars. However, in recent years, Latin literature in Scotland has enjoyed something of a Renaissance. Robert Crawford described Scottish literature in Latin as the country’s “literary lost continent,” but thanks to a range of projects that seek to make available key Latin texts, both in their original language and in accessible translations, what was once lost is now being rediscovered and reclaimed. This short article provides an outline of that recent scholarship and the sources available, primarily in online formats, but also more selectively in print, for those looking to explore this expanding field of study.
