    Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish History1

    The Scottish Historical Review, Volume LXXXV, 1: No. 219: April 2006, 1–27 MATTHEW H. HAMMOND Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish history1 ABSTRACT Historians have long tended to define medieval Scottish society in terms of interactions between ethnic groups. This approach was developed over the course of the long nineteenth century, a formative period for the study of medieval Scotland. At that time, many scholars based their analysis upon scientific principles, long since debunked, which held that medieval ‘peoples’ could only be understood in terms of ‘full ethnic packages’. This approach was combined with a positivist historical narrative that defined Germanic Anglo-Saxons and Normans as the harbingers of advances in Civilisation. While the prejudices of that era have largely faded away, the modern discipline still relies all too often on a dualistic ethnic framework. This is particularly evident in a structure of periodisation that draws a clear line between the ‘Celtic’ eleventh century and the ‘Norman’ twelfth. Furthermore, dualistic oppositions based on ethnicity continue, particu- larly in discussions of law, kingship, lordship and religion. Geoffrey Barrow’s Robert Bruce and the Community of the Realm of Scotland, first published in 1965 and now available in the fourth edition, is proba- bly the most widely read book ever written by a professional historian on the Middle Ages in Scotland.2 In seeking to introduce the thirteenth century to such a broad audience, Barrow depicted Alexander III’s Scot- land as fundamentally

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
  • Cosmo Innes Oxford

    Cosmo Innes Oxford

    Innes, Cosmo Nelson (1798–1874), antiquary, was born on 9 September 1798 at the old manor house of Durris on Deeside, the youngest child but one of sixteen children of John Innes and his wife, Euphemia (née Russell). John Innes, who belonged to the family of Innes of Innes, had sold his property in Moray to buy Durris. He resided at Durris for many years, but was afterwards ejected by a legal decision, a leading case in the Scottish law of entail. Cosmo Innes was sent to the high school, Edinburgh, under James Pillans, and studied at King's College, Aberdeen, and Glasgow University. He afterwards matriculated at Balliol College, Oxford, on 13 May 1817, graduating BA in 1820 (with a third class), and MA in 1824. In 1826 he married Isabella, daughter of Hugh Rose; they had nine children. Their eldest daughter, Katharine, herself an author, married John Hill Burton, the historian; while a son, James, became a government official in Sarawak and maried Emily Robertson, who is now known for her controversial book on life in Selangor. Innes and his family lived chiefly in or near Edinburgh, first at Ramsay Lodge, then at 6 Forres Street, later at Hawes, South Queensferry, and finally rather grandly at Inverleith House, Edinburgh. In 1822 Innes became an advocate at the Scottish bar. His practice was never large, but he was soon employed in peerage and other cases demanding antiquarian and genealogical research. His first case of this kind was the Forbes peerage case, about 1830–32. In the Stirling case he was crown advocate.

OBITUAEY NOTICES. , II. |r|*& JOHN HILL BURTON. By James Gordon, Asst. Librarian. 1 ;j . ; JOHN HILL BURTON, one of the most eminent men of letters that Scotland has produced, was born on the 22nd of August 1809, at ]j / Aberdeen. While he was still young, his father, an officer in the j;,,|;:l 94th regiment, died; but his mother, who was the daughter of an Aberdeenshire laird, though left, on her husband's decease, with very slender means, successfully exerted herself to give her children an education befitting their social position. He had the advantage of being taught by Melvin, the famous scholar and schoolmaster; and on leaving school, continued his studies at Marischal College. He ever afterwards gratefully acknowledged his obligations to his Alma Mater. In the course of his education at Aberdeen, he laid the foundations of that extensive aquaintance with English litera- ture for which he was afterwards so notable, and also acquired a familiar knowledge of the Latin language. Sir Theodore Martin mentions that Burton used always to carry about with him in his pocket a small edition of Horace. Among his associates at school _, and college were several young men afterwards destined to distin- guish themselves by their contributions to the history of their ^ country, and whose predilections for this department of literature doubtless influenced his future literary career.

Such a book should be as mxich historical as descriptive. For Edinburgh is not less richly endowed with memories than with beauty ; and its present can be read only in the light of its past. At no time have the builder and improver—those scene-shifters in the drama of modern town life—been busier in sweeping romance, along with stone and lime, into the dust-bin ; and every year familiar features of the streets and closes are drafted from the list of the city's sights into that of the city's memories. The opening of the new North Bridge offers a natural starting-point for the survey and retrospect ; it promises—or threatens—to bring in its train changes almost as great as those that make the construction of the first bridge across the valley between Old and New Edinburg an era in the history of " mine own romantic town."
