Church of Scotland Records Held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives
CHURCH OF SCOTLAND RECORDS HELD BY ABERDEEN CITY AND ABERDEENSHIRE ARCHIVES A GUIDE CONTENTS INTRODUCTION i ABERDEEN PRESBYTERY RECORDS 1 ST NICHOLAS KIRK SESSION RECORDS 4 GREYFRIARS KIRK SESSION RECORDS 12 NIGG KIRK SESSION RECORDS 18 ABERDEEN SYNOD RECORDS 19 ST CLEMENTS KIRK SESSION 20 JOHN KNOX KIRK SESSION RECORDS 23 INTRODUCTION Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives holds various records relating to the Church of Scotland in Aberdeen. The records are held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives on behalf of the National Archives of Scotland under what is known as ‘Charge and Superintendence’. When the Church of Scotland deposited its records in Edinburgh, a decision was made that where there were suitable repositories, local records would be held in their area of origin. As a result, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives was designated as a suitable repository and various records were returned to the city. Microfilm copies of the majority of the original volumes can be viewed in the National Archives in Edinburgh. All Church of Scotland records begin with the reference CH2 followed by the number allocated to that particular church. For example, St Nicholas is referenced 448, therefore the full reference number for the records of the St Nicholas Kirk Session is CH2/448 followed by the item number. If you wish to look at any of the records, please note the reference number (this always starts with CH2 for records relating to the Church of Scotland) and take care to ensure the record you wish to view covers the correct dates. You do not need to note the description of the item, only the reference, but please ensure you have identified the correct item. -
1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate's Close Proximity to The
Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991). -
Vision 2019 Updating You on the Greyfriars Community
Vision 2019 Updating you on the Greyfriars Community Welcome/Fáilte! It has been two years since the Greyfriars Review was first published. Much has been happening in the Greyfriars community and therefore there is a lot to report! ‘Vision 2019’ aims to give you an update on what we have been doing and to outline future plans. Worship, the arts and community outreach are centered at our three locations – Greyfriars Kirk (GK), the Grassmarket Community Project (GCP) and the Greyfriars Charteris Centre (GCC). They are managed independently, but key members are common to all three organisations so the Greyfriars ethos and ideals are maintained. With enlarged teams, we are taking on more work and responsibilities within the parish and wider community. As with any organisation we are very dependent on our dedicated members, congregation, volunteers and staff to make things happen and are therefore very grateful to them all. We welcome new faces to be part of our community and if you would like to get involved, we will find a place for you.

Greyfriars Bobby Differentiated Reading
Greyfriars Bobby John Gray, known as Jock, lived in Edinburgh around 1850. He was a nightwatchman with the Edinburgh City Police. Jock had a little Skye Terrier to keep him company as he went on his rounds through the streets at night. He called his watchdog Bobby. Jock became ill and died on the 15th February, 1858. He was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh. People living near the Kirkyard saw that Bobby refused to leave his master’s grave. The keeper of Greyfriars tried on many occasions to send Bobby away. In the end, he gave up and, it is said, he made a shelter for Bobby at the side of Jock’s grave. The story of the faithful dog spread throughout Edinburgh. It is reported that every day, people would gather at the Kirkyard waiting for Bobby to leave the grave and go to the same inn that he had gone to with his master, where he was given something to eat. In 1867, a new law was passed that said all dogs should be licensed in the city or they would be destroyed. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh decided to pay for Bobby’s licence and presented him with a collar. The collar can be seen today at the Museum of Edinburgh alongside Bobby’s feeding bowl. The people of Edinburgh took good care of Bobby, but still he remained loyal to his master. For fourteen years, this faithful dog kept watch and guard over his master’s grave until he himself died in 1872. Bobby was buried close to his master in Greyfriars Kirkyard and his headstone reads Greyfriars Bobby - died 14th January 1872 - aged 16 years - Let his loyalty and devotion be a lesson to us all. -
The Ayrshire Hermit
Newsletter March 2012 F.O.L.K.F.O.L.K. NEWSLETTERNEWSLETTER Vandals strike again A phone call from a member of the public brought the sad news that Loudoun Kirk had once again been the target of vandals. The lady, who first advised us of the problem had been visiting her family grave just before Christmas and noticed pieces of lead at the base of the kirk. We have to carry out all repairs to the kirk according to Historic Scotland's standards and unfortunately we are not allowed to use any of the modern preventative measures to deter metal thieves. All the lead was taken from the kirk during autumn 2010 and the company who carried out the work of renewing the lead fitted the lead in such a way, that it would make it difficult for any would-be thief to remove it all again easily, whilst still working within the bounds of Historic Scotland's legislation. Thankfully this worked and recent attempts were thwarted by this simple but ingenious method. Although in this instance, the lead on one side has been badly damaged, none of it was removed. It can be clearly seen in the photograph how the lead on the lower half of the right side of the roof has been ripped up (with the use of an 18” chisel, found at the scene). Some of the lead tabs holding it on were taken off and sadly the stone cross broken off from the top. Although there is a reasonable amount of damage to the lead and cross, nothing has been taken. -

Aristocratic Identities in the Roman Senate From the Social War to the Flavian Dynasty By Jessica J. Stephens A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Greek and Roman History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor David Potter, chair Professor Bruce W. Frier Professor Richard Janko Professor Nicola Terrenato [Type text] [Type text] © Jessica J. Stephens 2016 Dedication To those of us who do not hesitate to take the long and winding road, who are stars in someone else’s sky, and who walk the hillside in the sweet summer sun. ii [Type text] [Type text] Acknowledgements I owe my deep gratitude to many people whose intellectual, emotional, and financial support made my journey possible. Without Dr. T., Eric, Jay, and Maryanne, my academic career would have never begun and I will forever be grateful for the opportunities they gave me. At Michigan, guidance in negotiating the administrative side of the PhD given by Kathleen and Michelle has been invaluable, and I have treasured the conversations I have had with them and Terre, Diana, and Molly about gardening and travelling. The network of gardeners at Project Grow has provided me with hundreds of hours of joy and a respite from the stress of the academy. I owe many thanks to my fellow graduate students, not only for attending the brown bags and Three Field Talks I gave that helped shape this project, but also for their astute feedback, wonderful camaraderie, and constant support over our many years together. Due particular recognition for reading chapters, lengthy discussions, office friendships, and hours of good company are the following: Michael McOsker, Karen Acton, Beth Platte, Trevor Kilgore, Patrick Parker, Anna Whittington, Gene Cassedy, Ryan Hughes, Ananda Burra, Tim Hart, Matt Naglak, Garrett Ryan, and Ellen Cole Lee. -
The Matron of Ephesus 1 Petronius, Satyricon, 111-112
The Matron of Ephesus 1 Petronius, Satyricon, 111-112 Created by E. DeHoratius Below you will find a complete text of Petronius’ Matron of Ephesus story. Following this ‘clean’ text is an annotated text with notes. It is important, however, that you become accustomed to confronting Latin and just Latin, as opposed to the stilted, noted, glossed Latin that you are often presented. Use these ‘clean’ texts for study, review, and most importantly, translation in class. DO NOT WRITE ON THIS TEXT; DO NOT CORRUPT IT. Practicing a passage, after you have pre- pared it, on a blank text such as this is the best way not only to know it but also to become a better reader of Latin. Petronius, Satyricon 111-112, the Matron of Ephesus (1) Matrona quaedam Ephesi tam notae erat pudicitiae, ut vici- narum quoque gentium feminas ad spectaculum sui evocaret. (2) Haec ergo, cum virum extulisset, non contenta vulgari more funus passis prosequi crinibus aut nudatum pectus in conspectu frequentiae plangere, in conditorium etiam prosecuta est de- functum, positumque in hypogaeo Graeco more corpus custo- dire ac flere totis noctibus diebusque coepit.(3) Sic afflictan- tem se ac mortem inedia persequentem non parentes potuerunt abducere, non propinqui; magistratus ultimo repulsi abierunt, complorataque singularis exempli femina ab omnibus quintum iam diem sine alimento trahebat. (4) Assidebat aegrae fidissima ancilla, simulque et lacrimas commodabat lugenti, et, quotiens- cumque defecerat, positum in monumento lumen renovabat. (5) Una igitur in tota civitate fabula erat: solum illud affulsisse verum pudicitiae amorisque exemplum omnis ordinis homines confitebantur, cum interim imperator provinciae latrones iussit crucibus affigi secundum illam casulam, in qua recens cadaver matrona deflebat.(6) Proxima ergo nocte, cum miles, qui cruces asservabat, ne quis ad sepulturam corpus detraheret, notasset sibi lumen inter monumenta clarius fulgens et gemitum lugentis aud- isset, vitio gentis humanae concupiit scire quis aut quid faceret.
