Of all the Kegisters of the ancient religious houses of Scotland, the Register of the Abbey of Cambuskenneth is the only one which has been specially authenticated by royal and judicial authority. Alexander Mylne, Abbot of Cambuskenneth in the reign of James the Fifth, who was the first President of the Court of Session established by that monarch, being a lawyer and historian, as well as an ecclesiastic, knew the value and importance of a large collection of early charter muniments. He found those of his Abbey — some of them dating from the middle of the twelfth century — agoing rapidly to decay ; and to prevent the injury which might arise from their loss, he took steps to procure a warrant from the King for their transcription. A petition was presented to the Lords of Council by the Abbot and Convent, setting forth that the charters and evidents belonging to them, hitherto kept in the VI INTRODUCTION. Abbey, had, from its damp situation, already suffered much from mildew, which was not only destroying the seals and siting but the ve^ parchments themselves, and that so quickly, that unless some remedy was speedily applied, they would soon be utterly destroyed. They therefore requested that the charters and evidents should be transumed and transcribed in the form of a book, written on parchment, authenticated by the signatures of the Council and Clerk-Register, and by the King's seal. On the 24th of July 1535, the Lords of CouncH, after due intimation to all parties interested, ordained that a transumpt of the charters and other \vrits should be made, which should have the same force in all time coming as the orifrinals, and as if each was separately inserted in an Act of his Majesty's Council. The transcription thus ordered was duly executed in a folio volume of one hundred and seventy-eight leaves of veUum, on which were engrossed transcripts of two hundred and twenty-five charters of lands and other property granted to the Abbey, and of Papal buUs and other muniments relating either to the property or to the ecclesiastical business of the Abbey. At the end of the transcript of each charter the Clerk-Register, Mr. James Foulis of Colinton, attests, in this form, that it agrees with the original :— VI IXTL'rHirCTiriX.

Abbey. At the end of the transcript of each charter the Clerk-llegister, ?^Ir. Janns Foulis of Colintou, attests, in this form, that it agrees with the original :— The muniments are engrossed in the Register alphabetically, according to the names of the lands and churches, fishings, and other subjects with which they deal. Thus the charters of the lands of Amgrosk, Alva, and Alloa are placed first in the Register, while the foundation-charter of the Abbey, and the confirmation of it, which are much earher in date, and from their importance might be expected to appear first in the Register, are placed after all the docu- ments containing lands whose names begin with the letters A and B. Great care was bestowed on the preparation of the Register. It is written in a plain, distinct and legible hand, of which the character is well shown in the facsimile of the transcript of the original charter of foundation by King David the First, and of other royal charters, which are given in this volume. The whole volume was engrossed by the same writer; and there are occasionally slight corrections, with here and there a blank supplied by the hand of the Clerk-Register, which show that his attestation was more than formal. An impression of the Great Seal of King James the Fifth was originally appended to the volume by a strong cord of purple and yellow silk. This large seal may have been looked upon as an inconvenient appendage to the book, or it may have been appro- priated by some collector of seals ; but however this may be, it has been removed, and the cord alone remains. The Register has for a frontispiece the Royal Arms of Scotland, the lion rampant on a shield or, with the double tressure, supported II Vlll INTRODUCTION. by a single unicom, collared and chained, in a recumbent position, having the national achievement resting on his back. The shield is surmounted by a large regal crown, and environed by a gold collar of thistles. From the collar depends, at the side of the unicom, a medaUion of Saint Andrew. On each side of the shield is placed the initial letter of King James the Fifth, with the figure 5. On a scroU below is the motto " In mi Defens." A facsimile of this illumination is given in the present work. The first page of the Kegister is illuminated in the style of an ancient missal, with a floral border, and of this a facsimile is also given. This page contains the first part of the warrant of the King and Council for the transcrip- tion, the initial letter of the King being highly ornamental. At the end of the Eegister, and opposite the last engrossed page, are blazoned the armorial bearings of the two officials. Abbot Myhie and the Clerk-Eegister Foulis, who were principally concerned in obtaining and superintending the transcription of the Register. The arms of the former are a shield resting on a cross, argent three cushions, 2 and 1, gules, and for crest a cross, with the motto on a scroll beneath " Confido." The arms of Mr. James Foulis, Clerk- Register, are argent, three laurel leaves, with the motto on a scroll beneath, "Ne Qvid Nimis." Between these two shields the following lines are written : — " Fecit Alexander Cambuskynnetheus abbas, Qua fortha ambiguis It sinuosis aquis, Has veteres cane exesas transcribere cartas, S*"\.

A facsimile of the page of the Register containing these armorial bearings and lines will be found in the present volume. This fac- simile, and those mentioned above, have been made a little smaller than the originals, to suit the size of the printed page. Prefixed to the Register is a Table of Contents, extending to six folios, which gives the designation of each charter or other writ in the Register, without, however, stating their terms or import.^ A description of this Register was given by Mr. Richard Augustine Hay, commonly called Father Hay, about two centuries ago, at which time the Great Seal of King James the Fifth was still appended to it. Under the head of " Kamiskennethum, or Campus Kennethi," the Father says, — " I have seen a very fine book in parch- ment containing the Records of this house in my Lord Tarbat's hand, the broad seal appended to a cord of silk passing through every leife. Every page of the book was signed by Fowles, Register in the days of King James the fifth. On the first leife, there is a scutcheon of our Scots arms Entowred with a Cordon green, to which hangs a medale of eight Corners, whereupon Saint Andrews is represented. This gave occasion to the late institution of that Order. Upon the gate as you enter Linlithgow Palace, there is likewise a scutcheon environd with * On a blank folio at the beginning of the thecsa Facultatis Juridicae Edinburgi, A. 4. Register is this marking : " Ex Libris Biblio. 6. and 34. 1. 2." i a Cordon composd of thistles and Saint Andrews, wherto hangs a medale representing that Apostle. In the house of Weems, King James the fifth is painted with a green Ribbon about his neck, and a medale of Saint Andrews hanging therto, and on his mantle a cross sutch as our knights have, all which I take to proceed from the fancie of the Workemen, having found no solid ground to believe, that there was any sutch order in the world before King James the Seventh. What arguments the Register produced, have no solidity, and what is said by Sir George M*Kenzie for asserting that business is alto- gether false. I myself having shown him that William Sinclare, Earle of Orkney and Cathnes, in his disposition of Rosline and Pent- land to his sone Sir Oliver, takes no such title as knight of Saint Andrews, which nevertheless the Advocat had alledged in his Genea- logies, for proveing the Antiquity of that Order of Knights, who, ac- cording as King James the Seventh establishd them, carried a purple Ribbon about their neck, with a plain gold medale Oval hanging therto. On the one side was a Saint Andrews on his crosse, and on the other a thistle. On their cloaks and coats they bore in the begin- ning a fower square crosse of Saint Andrews, or a saltier : in the midle there was a Thistle environd with those words, * Nemo me impune lacesset/ The whole is embroidred in silver and blew silk. Some short time thereafter, the Earle of Arrane changed the Ribbon, and took a blew Ribbon, which he carried over his shoulder ; and in Scot- land my Lord Perth, Chancellour, and Duke Gordon alterd the medale, and tooke a medale ovall enriched with Diamonds, and as for •/■.■.:' . - ' r ' >- N *^-^ LXjMrrimtf m mmm (tjtmtntd totmt ^ ixTnoDCcriox. ;, r\)r(lon compo^d of thi^tlc^? nn.l Saint Andrews, wliort<^ hanos a m.Mlal.' ivpivscntiug tliat Apostle.

I f f son, Robert Ferguson, again sold Arrochar to the late Sir James Colquhoun of Luss, at the enhanced price of £78,000. The mansion-house of Arrochar, in which Smollett, when on his journey to the Highlands, was entertained by Walter Macfaxlane the antiquary, has been rendered memorable in the pages of " Humphrey Clinker." Having fallen into ruins it was removed, and a neat mansion has been erected near its site by the present proprietor. The carved stone, marking the date of the erection, etc., of the old house, has been carefully preserved, and is buHt into the modern mansion, with a Gaelic inscription, to the effect that it was brought from the principal door of the house which John, chief of the Mac- farlanes and laird of Arrochar, buHt in the year 1G97. The cHef referred to was the father of Walter the antiquarian. Walter died at his town house, in the Canongate of Edinburgh, on the 5th of June 1767. After his death his valuable collection of manuscripts on the History and Antiquities of Scotland was purchased by the Faculty of Advocates. They form the best monument of the learning, industry, and accomplishment of that respected chief of the Clan Macfarlane. His portrait is preserved in the Museum of the Society of Antiquaries for Scotland. An engrav- ing has been made from which the impression in this work is executed. .rfii ii iiri ' 1 1 1 XVlll INTRODUCTION. History of the Abbey. This Introduction might have been limited to a description of the Manuscript Register, now printed for the first time, and of a statement of the rules which the Editor has laid down for himself in executing his task. But it may add to the interest of the book to t^ive a short account of the Abbey ; of its territorial and other possessions ; its Abbots and Commendators ; the historical events with which it has been connected ; the Royal and eminent persons interred within its walls ; and its different buildings, etc. The founder of this Abbey was King David the First of Scot- land, by whom so many other religious houses were founded in his kingdom. To his piety and liberality Scotland was indebted for four bishoprics, eleven abbeys, two nunneries, and other religious institutions of less note. No other Scottish sovereign, either before or after his time, bestowed on the Church such extensive benefactions. Andi-ew of Wyntoun, in his " Cronykil " of Scotland, himself an eminent churchman, and Prior of St. Serf's Inch in Lochleven, gratefully commemorates, in liis vernacular tongue, the piety of King David as the founder of so many abbeys : " He illumynd in his dayis His landys uyth kyrkis and wyth abbayis. Byschaprykis he fand bot foure or thre ; Bot, or he deyd, nyne left he. Abbays he foundit nyne or ten, And set in yame relygyws men. CHARTERS GRANTED TO THE ABBEY. XIX Haly-rwdhows he byggyd syne, Cambuskynel nere Strewelyne ; All yir abbays foundyd he And rychely girt yame dowyt be." ^ The Abbey of Cambuskenneth was appropriated for monks of the order of St. Augustine, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In the foundation-charter, King David, with the consent of his eldest son, Prince Henry, granted and confirmed to the church of St. Mary of Stirling the lands of Cambuskenneth, and the fishing between these lands and Polmaise, and other subjects. This charter is without date, but it was probably granted in the year 1147. In the Manuscript Register it is headed " Prima Carta originalis David Regis fundatoris nostri de Cambuskynneth."^ The lands of Cambuskenneth being thus granted to the church of St. Mary of Stirling, the King probably intended that the name of the new Abbey should be Stirling. His grandson, King Malcolm the Fourth (the Maiden), also granted a charter of confirmation to the church of St. Mary at Stirling of the lands of Cambuskenneth and others.^ That charter is also without date, but it was probably granted in the year 1165. King William the Lion confirmed to the church of St. Mary of Stirling the lands of Cambuskenneth and others, by a charter made about the year 1168.* » Wyntoun's Cronykil, vol. i. p. 292. *//»/m, p. 71, No. 51. 3 Infra, p. 70, No. 60. * Infra, p. 72, No. 52. XX INTnODUCTION. In addition to these successive royal confirmations, the Popes confirmed the foundation of the new Abbey under the name of the church of St. Mary of Stirling. Pope Eugene the Third, by a bull, dated 30th August 1147, declared that he took the church of St. Mary of Stirling under his protection, and also that of St. Peter, and ordained that the canonical order of Arrosia, instituted there by Wniiam the Abbot, with the counsel of Robert, Bishop of St. Andrews, should be inviolably observed for ever. The same Pope confirmed to the Abbot the lands of Cambuskenneth and others.^ Pope .Uexander the Third in 1164, and Pope Celestine the Third in 1195, confirmed to the church of St. Mary of Stirling the town and lands of Cambuskenneth, and many other lands which had been granted to that Abbey since its foundation by King David.* During the twelfth century, and for more than fifty years after its foundation, the church, in all charters relating to it, is called St. Mary's of Stirling. As early, however, as the year 1201, that name was changed into the church of St. Maiy of Cambuskenneth, as appears from two bulls by Pope Innocent the Third.' The same Pope, by a buU, dated 6th May 1207, addressed to the Abbot and canons of St. Mary of Cambuskenneth, declared that he took the church under his pro- tection, and also that of St. Peter, and he confirmed to the Abbot and canons all their goods, and particularly the town of Cambus- kenneth, and many other subjects therein specified.* » Infra, p. 38, No. 23. a Infra, pp. 40-42, Nos. 24, 25. » Infra, p. 48, No. 27, and p. 51, No. 31. * Infra, p. 47, No. 26. In all the bulls granted by succeeding Popes, ranging from the year 1207 to 1433, the church is named St. Mary's of Cambus- kenneth, never of Stirling.^ King William the Lion, in a charter without date, but granted probably in the year 1200, confirmed to the church of St. Mary of Cambuskenneth the grants which Seher de Quinci had made to it of the lands of Dugl3m.'^ King Alexander the Second, in the year 1249, confirmed to the canons of Cambuskenneth the charter which his father. King William the Lion, gave to the church of St. Mary of Stirling, of the lands of Cambuskenneth.^ Lands, Fishings, and other Property which belonged TO the Abbey. In the course of the four centuries during which the Abbey of Cambuskenneth flourished, it received many grants of lands and other property from the bounty of successive sovereigns, and the liberality of opulent subjects ; and in the course of time its revenues became considerable. Its lands at Cambuskenneth were not extensive, but a part of them was very valuable. The popular rhyme, that " A loop of the Forth Is worth an earldom in the North," is justified by the nature and fertility of the soil in the fine carse » Infra, pp. 48-55, Nos. 26, 28-35. 2 Infra, p. 92, No. 72. d 5 Infra, p. 73, No. 53. land around Cambuskenneth, which produces rich crops of the more valuable kinds of grain. But the possessions of the Abbey were widely scattered, and a glance at the multifarious character of its property will show the difficulty which persons constantly resident in the Monastery must have experienced in managing it profitably. By the foundation-charter the Abbey was endowed, by Kincr David the First, with the lands of Cambuskenneth and Colling and Dunbodwin, or Tulibodwin ; fishings both of districts and nets ;\rty shUlings of the King's rent of Stirling ; the cane of one ship ; one saltwork, with as much land attached as belonged to one of the King's saltworks ; the tithes of the farm of the King's lordship of Stirling; the offerings made in the church; twenty "cudrinis"^ of (•heese from his Majesty's rent of Stirling. By another charter granted by King David, and renewed by his son, Malcolm the Fourth, the Abbot and Convent obtained the church of Clackmannan, with forty acres of land and the priest's toft, or tofts, in Stirling and Linlithgow. King William the Lion confirmed the above-mentioned grants made by King David the First and Malcolm the Fourth, and in addition granted to it the church of Clackmannan, with forty acres ^ This word is spelled in several diflFerent ways in the Register, and the exact meaning of it has not been ascertained ; but by the charter No. 224, p. 216, in/ra, the convent re- ceived a grant of twenty " cowgall " of cheese from Tulymurthac, instead of these twenty cudrinis ; and the transcriber of the Register heads the writ— "Donatio centum petrarum casei de Tulymurthac." LANDS BELONGING TO THE ABBEY.

Besides the lands of Cambuskenneth and others in the county of Clackmannan, the convent possessed lands, churches, patronages, and other property in the counties of Stirling, Perth, Forfar, Fife, Aberdeen, Linlithgow, Dumbarton, Berwick, and Edinburgh. The lands in these other counties which belonged to the Abbey comprehended Arngrosk, now Arngask, with mills ; lands in Alva, near the spring or well of St. Servan, and between that spring and the church ; tofts in Airth ; oxgates of land, and toft and pas- turage in Balcormok; land in St. Mary's Street in the town of Berwick ; the lands of Badenheath ; the lands of Collin, supposed to be Coliie or Cowie, in the parish of St. Ninian's;^ tofts in the burghs of Stirling and Linlithgow ; lands of Cushnie, in the earldom of Mar ; the lands of Duglin, in Fife ; Dunipace, in the barony of Herbert- shire ; lands and tofts in Forteviot ; lands in Fuleche ; half a carucate in Kirkintulloch ; the land of Kettleston, in the constabulary of Lin- lithgow ; half a carucate in Petcorthy ; land in Kintulach, in the earldom of Strathern; lands in Linlithgow; lands of Mureton, formerly called Ladyland, in the shire of Stirling ; Mobbscroft ; the lands of Malar, near Touch ; toft in Perth ; lands in Tillicoultry, etc. * The Abbots of Cambuskenneth had a residence at Trosk, on the borders of Collie or Cowie. I i The Abbey possessed the church and teinds of Arngask, the church of St. Servan of Alva, the chapel of Alloa, the churches and teinds of Clackmannan, Crathie, Forteviot, Glenyleff, Kirketoun, or Eggles, now called St. Ninian's, Kincardine, Kirkintilloch, Kil- maronock, Kinnoul, Kinclevin, Lecroth (Lecropt), Tullibody, and Tullicoultry. Besides the grants of lands, churches, etc., now mentioned, the Abbey of Cambuskenneth ol)tained many special grants of other property and privileges. They had the right of fishing in the river Forth between the lands of Cambuskenneth and those of Polmaise, and also the fishings of Carsyn (Kersie) and Tullibody, with fishings in the river Clyde, near Renfrew. They also obtained a right to the half of the hides, fat, and tallow of the animals slaughtered for the King at Stirling ; the pasturage of five hundred sheep and twenty cows and a yoke of oxen in Balcormock ; and right of free burial to such as should desire to be interred at Cambuskenneth. Part of the annual revenues derived from certain gardens at Cambuskenneth, formed by individual abbots and monks, was assigned for the support of the altars. One garden, called " Para- dise," afibrded ten shillings annually to the altar of St. Nicholas.^ An annuity of ten shillings was appropriated to the altar of St. Andrew from the garden made by the late Abbot, Sir David White, of happy memory, and Sir William Armstrang.^ The annual sum of twenty shillings was given to the altar of St. John, from another » Infra, p. 307, No. 214. « Infra, p. 307, No. 214. garden, made by Sir John Greenlaw and Thomas of St. Andrew.^ The sum of six shillings and eightpence yearly was assigned to the altar of St. Lawrence, after the decease of Sir William Melrose, from the garden which he and Sir John Masterton had made.^ As stated in the sketch of the parish of Dunipace, in the New Statistical Account of Scotland, that parish was originally a chapel of the parish of Eggles, now St. Ninian's, and was conveyed, along with the other chapels and oratories of that parish, to the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, by Eobert, Bishop of St. Andrews. It is added, that in the latter part of the thirteenth century an uncle of Sir William Wallace was parson or officiating priest of Dunipace. Sir William frequently made his uncle's house his home.^ After the Eeformation, returns were obtained by the Crown of the property belonging to the religious houses, with the intention of assigning a third of the benefices for the stipends of the Reformed clergy. The rental of the property of Cambuskenneth was then returned as follows : — Money Scots, . Wheat, 11 chals.

It is a commonly received opinion that the abbeys of Scotland were very opulent, and that the monks lived in the greatest luxury. But the nature of the property of Cambuskenneth was such as to render the management of it expensive and difficult, and their Register reveals that the community were often in indigence. Their extreme poverty is referred to in several of the grants as a special reason for giving the canons relief in various foims.^ The Register also affords evidence of the wretched state of other religious establishments. Clement, Bishop of Dunblane, about the year 1239, repaired personally to the Pope and represented to him that the cathedral church of his see had on one occasion been vacant for upwards of a century, and during that time its property had been seized by secular persons, and although several Bishops had since been appointed to it, yet the property, from their simplicity or negligence, had not only not been recovered, but nearly the whole residue had been alienated, and the church had been destitute of a pastor for about ten years, as no one qualified could be induced to undertake the office. The Bishop, when himself consecrated, found it in such desola- tion that he had not a spot in the cathedral whereon to lay his head ; and so slender were the episcopal revenues that they could hardly maintain him during the half of the year. There was no » Infra, p. 3, No. 1 ; p. 78, No. 58 j p. 88, No. 67 ; p. 205, No. 151. POVERTY OF THE ABBEY. xxvu college, Divine service being performed by a rural chaplain in the roofless church. To remedy this sad state of matters the Pope proposed that a fourth part of the tithes of all the parish churches in the diocese should, if this could be done without much offence, be assigned to the Bishop as a fund for the support of himself and a dean and canons to be established there. The Pope also directed that the episcopal seat should be transferred to the Abbey of the canons of St. John within the same diocese. This appropriation of the tithes met with strenuous opposition on the part of the Abbot and canons of Cambuskenneth, which led to both parties submitting themselves to the decision of the Bishops of Glasgow and Dunkeld, by whose good offices a compromise was effected, and a serious scandal avoided.^ Differences arose and were agitated in the years 1392 and 1393, l)etween Robert Sinclair, Bishop of Dunkeld, and William Blackburn, Abbot of Cambuskenneth. In this contest the Abbot prevailed. He obtained the excommunication of the Bishop for alleged injuries and losses, which appear to have consisted in unjustly removing some domestic animals belonging to the Abbot. After several citations had been served upon the Bishop, the sentence of excommunication was publicly pronounced upon him in the church of the Carmelite Friars of Tulylum, in his own diocese, during the celebration of mass.^ To put a bishop out of the pale of the Church was certainly a grave step, and one very rarely adopted. 1 Infra, p. 162, No. 125. ^ /„yVa, pp. 95-106, Nos. 75-78. 1«! XXVlll INTRODUCTION. The dispute between the Bishop of Dunkeld and the Abbot of Cambuskenneth came under the notice of King Kobert the Third, and it is probable that he made some endeavour to bring about a reconciliation between the parties. Had either of them applied to him to act judicially they would have incurred the censure of the Pope, and the fear of this may have led to the King's granting a certificate, dated at Dundonald, 28th March 1395, to the effect that the Abbot had not brought the Bishop before him judicially on any account ; and that when both attended him in the vestry of the Preaching Friars of Perth on the 11th of February preceding, he was not sitting judicially in their cause. ^ The Abbey and barony of Cambuskenneth are said, in the Old Statistical Account of the Parish of Stirling, to have been reckoned part of that parish. What gave rise to this arrangement is not known, unless it was that the servants belonging to the Abbey worshipped in Stirling, or that its canons, monks, or friars per- formed divine service in the church of Stirling, thus originating a connexion which continued to subsist after the Reformation. One thing is certain, that such a connexion has actually subsisted ; for there is a seat in the church of Stirling allotted for the inhabitants of the village of Cumbuskenneth ; and an elder from it has sat in the session of Stirling almost without interruption since the year 1559. The barony of Cambuskenneth pays a part of the stipend of the first minister of Stirling ; but it is subject to poor's rates in the parish of 1 /n/ra, p. 317, No. 225. Logie, and to the jurisdiction of the Sheriff of Clackmannan. The Commissary of Stirling also exercises his jurisdiction over it as a part of the parish of Stirling, and the Commissary of Dunblane exercises his jurisdiction over it as lying within the parish of Logic.* The Earlier Registers of the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, AND additional CHARTERS DISCOVERED. Hitherto it has been generally believed that the only Register which the Abbey of Cambuskenneth had ever possessed was that which was formed in the year 1535. It appears, however, from documents which have been discovered in searching for the original charters, that there must have been at least one previous Register of the charters of the Abbey. Extracts or transumpts of three early writs by the family of Comyn, who were proprietors of Kirkintilloch, have been preserved, and each is certified by two notaries public as having been extracted De libns Registri Camhuskynneth. One is in the Register of 1535;^ but the other two are not, and the extracts of these must have been made from a separate and previous Reoister. No other proof of the existence of a separate Register has been discovered, but these extracts, and copies of other writs which have been discovered in private charter- chests, show that there were early charters granted to the Abbey, which have not been tran- 1 Original Statistical Account of the Parish of this charter shews, from several words of Stirling, vol viiL p. 272. being diflferent, that it was not taken from ' Infra, p. 175, No. 132. The old extract the Register of 1535. e XXX INTRODUCTION. it - i ': n scribed into the Eegister of 1535, and make it probable that a previous Register was still in existence at that date. One of the charters not transcribed into the existing Register, although bearing to be De lihris Registri Camhuskynneth^ is a grant by William Comyng, Earl of Buchan, of the church of Kirkintilloch, with an oxgate of land, adjoining the churchland thereof, to the Abbey of Cambuskenneth. It is not dated, but it was probably granted in the beginning of the thirteenth century, as the granter became Earl of Buchan in the year 1210. The original is written in Latin, and is to the following effect : — " To all the sons of Holy Mother Church who shall see or hear this writing, William Cwmyng, Earl of Buchan, eternal salvation in the Lord : Let all persons of present and future times know that I, William Cwmyng, Earl of Buchan, for the salvation of my soul, and the souls of my spouse, and of my heirs, and for the welfare of all my ancestors and successors, have for ever quitclaimed all right which I and my heirs have believed that we have, or can in any way have, in the church of Kirkintilloch, and in its chapels, and in all other things belonging to the same church, for me and my heirs, to God and the Church of St. Mary of Cambuskenneth, and the canons now serving, and who will hereafter serve God and the blessed Mary, imposing, on the part of myself and my heirs, the malison of Almighty God, and my own on every one who shall presume to frustrate this renunciation : Wherefore I will that the foresaid canons may hold and have the foresaid church in free and pure and perpetual alms, with the chapels and lands and oflFerings and teinds, and revenues of every kind, and with an oxgate of land ad- joining the churchland on the east side, which I, of my own proper gift, have bestowed on the said canons, for the welfare of my soul, in pure and perpetual alms, to be held as freely as any other church land, in all things, namely, in common pasture, etc" ^ 1 The witnesses to this charter are Mr. Mr. P. of the castle ; Theodorit Helyas, my Hugh, rector of the church of Kirkintilloch ; presbyter ; William, chaplain to the Coun- EARLIER RECORDS OF THE ABBEY. XXXI The other charter, which appears to have been extracted from an earlier Register, is a confirmation of the grant of the oxgate of land made in the foregoing charter, with certain additions. It is not dated, but it was probably granted towards the close of the thirteenth century. The original is in Latin, and is to the following effect : — " To all the faithful (followers) of Christ who shall see or hear this writing, John Cwmyng, son of the deceased John Cwmyng, eternal salvation in the Lord : Know ye that we have granted and confirmed, for us and our heirs, that perpetual gift which William Cwmyng, the deceased Earl of Buchan, of happy memory, made to God and the blessed Mary and to the canons of Cambuskenneth, of one oxgate of land in the territory of Kirkintilloch, to be held and possessed by the said canons and their successors as freely and quietly as the charter of the same William made thereupon to the said canons more fully purports and bears ; and we grant and give, and by the present writing confirm, for us and our heirs, to the said canons and their successors for ever, for the soul of Eva our mother, in augmentation of the said oxgate of land, the whole land adjoining that oxgate, between Luggy and Buthlane, cultivated and uncultivated, as far as the said oxgate of land extends, with one acre of land on the east side of the said oxgate . . . with thirty ^ cart- loads of peats, to be received each year at the sight of the bailie of the burgh of Kirkintilloch, in our peat-moss of Kirkintilloch, which at our instance our men of Kirkintilloch unanimously granted for ever to these canons, and their tenants whomsoever dwelling on the said land, in our open court of Lengze, we there con- firming for ever, for us and our heirs, the foresaid lands, with the peats foresaid, to these canons : To be held and possessed in free, pure and perpetual alms, with free and peaceable entry and exit, as well to the said peat-moss as to the said oxgate, with its augmentations above mentioned, as often as they please and have need, as freely, quietly and honourably as the aforesaid oxgate is granted and con- firmed to these canons by the charter of the foresaid William Cwmyn : Moreover teas; A. of Rule, clerk; R. of Mwhantis, and R. of Wiltun, knights ; R. of Hibestoter, Robert of Lamarderob, my clients, etc. The extract is attested by John Anderson and Gilbert Law, notaries public. — [Old copy in the Wigton or Cumbernauld Charter-chest.] ^ The number here is conjectural, a part of the word being torn away. it we and our heirs will warrant, maintain and for ever defend against all men the said oxgate of land, with its augmentations foresaid, and with the use of the fore- said peat-moss in all the before-mentioned liberties, to the foresaid canons and their successors ; and that that gift, grant and confirmation may obtain the strength of perpetual firmness, we have strengthened the present writing by the impression of our seal."^ A few other writs have been discovered, relating to the property of the Abbey of Carabuskenneth. One of these is a grant of the church of Kinclaven, by King William the Lion, which may be thus translated from the original Latin : — " William, by the grace of God King of the Scots, to all upright men of his whole land, clergy and laity, greeting : Let all persons of present and future times know that I have given and granted, and by this my charter have con- firmed, to God and to the church of St. Mary of Cambuskenneth, and to the canons serving God there, the church of Kinclethvene, with the lands and teinds and all kinds of offerings and all other lands and their pertinents, to be held in free, pure and perpetual alms, as freely, quietly, fully and honourably, as they hold other churches." ^ ^ The witnesses are William RufFo and Ilobert of Cultoune, knights ; Fergus Kennedy, our steward ; John, his brother ; Adam Scot ; Malcolm Constable ; David de Gartenocht; Cristina, daughter of the parson of Kyppen, with many others. Then follows an attesta- tion that the charter was extracted from the Books of the Register of Cambuskenneth, by Mr. John Symmerwell, notary public ; and that a true copy of it, as thus extracted, was made by Gilbert Law, notary public. — [Old copy in the Wigton or Cumbernauld Charter- chest] The old copies of the three charters now described are contained on a single sheet of paper, on which there is an indorsation, in very old writing, as follows : "Item, Lant to the Dene of Reatalrig the bukis of C hawser and Gower.^* 2 The witnesses to this charter are H. chancellor, A. abbot of Dunfermlin, Earl Gil- bert, Robert the King's chaplain, William of Moreville, the constable, William of Lindese, A. Sheriff of Stirling, Walter Corbet at Stirling. — [Old copy Charter in the Mar Charter- chest.] RECENTLY DISCOVERED CHARTERS. xxxm Another of these charters is a grant by the Abbey of Cambus- kenneth to William of Moray of Polmaise of a piece of land called the Knoll, in the tenement of Kukispull, in the shire of Stirling. Translated from the original it is in these terms : — " To all who shall see or hear this charter, David, by the Divine permission Abbot of the Monastery of Cambuskenneth and the convent of the same place, everlasting salvation in the Lord : Know ye that we, with the consent of our whole chapter, having well considered the interests of our monastery, have given, sett, and in feu-farm let to our beloved William of Moray of Polmaise that piece of land commonly called the Knoll, lying in the tenement of Kukispull,^ within the shire of Stirling, to be held and possessed the foresaid piece of land of Knoll by the foresaid William and his heirs of us and our successors in feu and heritage for ever, by all its right ancient marches and divisions ... for rendering there- from annually, . . . four shiUings, to be received in name of feu-farm at the two customary terms of the year, namely, at Whitsunday and Martinmas in winter, by equal portions, for every other burden, exaction and demand which, by us or our successors, can in any way be exacted or required. And we, the foresaid David, Abbot, and convent, will warrant, maintain and for ever defend the said piece of land to the foresaid William and his heirs, in the form foresaid, against all men and women. In testimony whereof our common seal of our chapter is appended, at our monastery foresaid, on the 9th day of the month of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand four hundred and forty-nine." ^ Another writ which has been discovered, relates to the compro- mise of a dispute between the Abbey of Cambuskenneth and the Town of Stirling, in regard to the fishing of a part of the water of Forth, dated at Edinburgh, 31st March 1501. An abstract of this will suffice.

Forester of Skippinche, knight, James of Menteith, provost of Stirling, and George of Crechtoune of Brothertoun, for themselves and as procurators for the whole community of the burgh of Stir- ling, on the other part, bound themselves to abide by the decreet of the arbiters named, who were to judge and decide upon the "re- treiting" of an Act given by the Lords of Council for the said Abbot and Convent of Cambuskenneth, anent the fishing of a part of the Water of Forth, claimed to belong to them. The arbiters were William, bishop of Aberdeen, Mr. Kichard Murehede, dean of Glasgow and secretary to the King, Mr. Walter Drummond, dean of Dunblane and clerk of the Eegister, and two others. They were to convene at Edinburgh, on the 10 th of May following, and were to give forth their decreet within twenty days thereafter. Until that decreet was issued, the profits of the fishings of the part of the water in question were to remain as they then were. On the 20th of July 1501, the arbiters decerned and delivered their decreet in reference to this dispute, to the effect that the Abbot and Convent of Cambuskenneth, and their successors, should have in per- petuity the fishing of five cobles up and down at their pleasure in the Water of Forth, while the community and town of Stirling, for the payment of £20 to the said Abbot, should enjoy the remanent of the said fishing and cobles of the Water of Forth, in time coming, without impediment by the said Abbot and Convent, or their suc- cessors. * Original Decree in the Charter-chest of the burgh of Stirling.

Historical Events connected with Cambuskenneth. In the reign of King Alexander the Third, Scotland was much divided on the measures adopted during his minority. After the King and Queen proceeded to London, on a visit to her father. King Henry the Third, in the year 1257, the party of the Comyns, who were very powerful — there being then thirty-two knights and three earls of that name,— gained great influence. One of the questions of the day was the appointment of a bishop of Glasgow, in which, as each got the upper hand in the Councils of the kingdom, the Scottish or English party prevailed. The Comyns got the Pope's delegates to publish a sentence of excommunication against the King's Councillors, which was pronounced by the Bishop of Dun- blane and the Abbots of Jedburgh and ^Melrose, in the Abbey church of Cambuskenneth; and afterwards was repeated by "bell and candle " in all the chapels of the kingdom.^ During the War of Independence, one of the greatest of Wallace s victories over the English was achieved on or near the ground of Cambuskenneth. This was the famous battle of Stirling, fought on the 11th of September 1297, in which the slaughter of the English was so great that it has been said that nearly the half of their army, which consisted of 50,000 foot and 1000 horse, was slain. King Edward the First of England, in his victorious progress in Scotland in the year 1303, after having penetrated as far north as ^ Chronica de Mailros, p. 182. ROBERT mSIIART, BISHOP OF GLASGOW, XXX Vll the shire of Moray, and marched to the Castle of Kildrummie, in the shire of Aberdeen, proceeded thence to Dundee, and then to Stirling and Cambuskenneth, where he was on the 1st of November. Early in December he went on to Dunfermline, where he took up his winter quarters, and was joined by his Queen. When Edward had discomfited the Scots, Kobert Wishart, Bishop of Glasgow, though he had commanded his bailifi" to assemble the forces of his see to march against the Prince of Wales, came to the King at Cambuskenneth, and prayed for his grace and mercy for all his trespasses. Here, for the fifth time, he took the oath of fealty to King Edward as before, upon the consecrated host, upon the Gospels, upon the cross of St. Neot, and upon the Black Kood of Scotland. He was graciously received by Edward, who restored to him the temporalities of his see, which he had forfeited by his treason. This took place in the beginning of March 1303-4. These facts were recorded in articles to be pro- pounded before Pope Clement the Fifth, by King Edward against Wishart, Bishop of Glasgow, who, in the war between the Scots and the English, was constantly changing sides, and although he took the oath of fealty to the English sovereign at six different times, always, when circumstances favoured the Scots, broke it, and assisted his countrymen with all his power.^ At Cambuskenneth, on the Feast of St. Barnabas, 1304, an im- 1 Palgrave's Documents and Records illustrating the History of Scotland, vol. i pp. clxxix. 345. M ml u xxxviii INTRODUCTION. portant treaty was secretly entered into between Robert of Bruce, Earl of Carrick and liOrd of Annandale, and William of Lamberton, Bishop of St. Andrews, whereby they bound themselves in confede- racy against all men. A notarial instrument (1306), containing a certified copy of this indenture, bears that, on that day and year, meeting together at Cambuskenneth, and conferring with one another in regard to future dangers, desiring to escape them, as far as it was possible, and more prudently to resist by strenuous efforts their enemies, they entered into a covenant of friendship. By it they became bound faithfully to consult one another's safety in all their affairs and transactions whatsoever, at all times and against all persons, and continually, without deceit, to give assist- ance or help, by themselves and their men, to the utmost of their ability, and that none of them should attempt any arduous business without consulting the other. It was further stipulated, that whoever of them should first come to the knowledge of the dangers impending over the other, should forewarn him, or cause him to be forewarned, and should endeavour to avert the same, according to his ability. All these things they engaged faithfully to fulfil and observe, fully and without deceit, an oath of fidelity on each side being given, under the pain of £10,000 to be applied for the recovery of the Holy Land. It is then stated that the seal of each party was affixed to that portion of the indenture which remained in possession of the other.^ ^ The original of this indenture has been lost; bnt the notarial instrument in which PARLIAMENTS AT CAMBUSKENNETH, 1314, 1326. XXXIX In the year 1314, on the 6th of November, a Parliament was held by King Robert the Bruce in the Monastery of Cambuskenneth, in which it was enacted, with the advice and consent of the bishops and other prelates, the earls, barons and other nobles, and the whole commons of the kingdom of Scotland, that all who had died in war or otherwise against the faith and peace of the King, or who had not returned to his peace and faith, although they had been repeatedly called on and lawfully warned to do so, should be for ever dispossessed of all their tenements and of all rank or position within the kingdom, and should be held in other respects as enemies of the King and kingdom, and be perpetually excluded from all claim to hereditary or any other rights in future, either for themselves or their heirs. The original Act of Parliament is now lost ; but, from copies yet preserved, it appears that the seals of the King, six bishops, fourteen abbots, five priors, the High Steward of Scotland, several earls and many barons, were appended.^ In the year 1326 another Parliament was held at Cambuskenneth, which is famous in the history of the Parliaments of Scotland. In consequence of the birth of a son to King Robert the its terms have been preserved was drawn up at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 9th August 1306, when the Bishop, on being shown the part of the indenture to which his seal was affixed, acknowledged, in the presence of witnesses, its authenticity ; upon which a notarial instru- ment was drawn up by a notary-public, and attested in the usual form. The indenture is noticed by Lord Hailes (vol i. p. 342), but, as expressed in the notarial instrument referred to, it has been published for the first time in an authentic form by Sir Francis Palgrave, in his Documents and Records illustrating the History of Scotland, voL i. pp. clvL, clvii, 323, 324. ^ The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, vol. i p. 104, and Tabula, pp. 13, 44. ;)■ i I xl INTRODUCTION. Bruce, at Dunfermline, on 5th March 1323, it was found necessary to set aside previous Acts of Parliament, which had been made for the settlement of the Crown, and to confirm the succession by a new Act in favour of this his only son. Accordingly, an Act of settle- ment of the Crown was made by the Parliament at Cambuskenneth, entailing the succession on David, son of King Robert, and the heirs of his body ; and failing them on Robert Stewart, only son of Bruce's daughter, Marjory, then deceased, by her spouse, Walter Stewart, Lord High Steward of Scotland. To these heirs the clergy, earls, barons and all the nobility, with the people there assembled, swore fealty and homage, in the presence of the King. Andrew of Wyntoun concludes his history of the year 1326 with an account of this Parliament : — " Dat ilke yhere gaddryde syne At Kamyskynel be-syd Stryvelyne Erlys, byschapys and barownys, Prelatis, and oyir gret persownys, To ye Kyng Robertis swne Dawy Ware bwndyn in fewtie straytly, And til hys systyr swne Robert, Dat cald be swmame wes Stewert : In case yat hys erne Dawy Suld dey, but ayre of his body, Dis Robert Stwart hys ayre suld be Neyst successyve in yat reawte." ^ The history of this important Act of the settlement of the Crown is remarkable. It was lost before the year 1650. Sir * Wyntown's Cronykil, voL ii. p. 134. James Balfour of Kinnaird, baronet, Lyon-King-of-Arms, when abroad, discovered the missing Act, and carefully preserved it for many years. He appeared in the Parliament of King Charles the Second, held at Perth, on the 25th day of December 1650, and produced and delivered to the King, in presence of the Estates of Parliament, an " old monument," as it is called, concerning the entail of the Crown of Scotland, made by King Robert the Bruce in favour of the race of the Stewarts, of the date at Cambus- kenneth the 15th of July 1326.^ The Parliament ordered the "old monument" to be recorded in the Books of Parliament, and care- fully preserved. But before the registration could be completed, the Records of Parliament were taken to London by the orders of Cromwell, who then became master of Scotland, and the Act of 1326 again disappeared. Its disappearance may, without much difficulty, be explained. After the restoration of King Charles the Second, many of the Registers which Cromwell carried to London were sent from the English Metropolis to Scotland. But it appears, from a report by the Lords of Session made to the House of Lords on the 27th of February 1740, that in a storm at sea eighty-five hogsheads of them were shifted out of the frigate, the "Eagle," into another vessel. This vessel sank, and all these records were thus irrecoverably lost. The portion of the Records which reached Scotland did not contain the " old monument " made at Cambuskenneth in 1326 ; nor has any trace of it been found since the year 1650, It was unknown to Mr. * The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, vol iv. p. 564. 11 ii i xlii INTRODUCTION. William Robertson when he gave, in the year 1798, his distinct account of the other Acts of Settlement of the Crown ; and the successive Editors of the Acts of Parliament, Mr. Thomson and Mr. Innes, take no notice of it. No one at present connected with the National Records of Scotland is aware of the existence of the Act of the settlement of the Crown on Prince David and the race of Stewart. The probability, then, is that it shared the fate of the vast collection of Scottish Records which went to the bottom of the sea in the manner now described. After the passing of this Act, King Robert the Bruce, appre- hensive, from his increasing infirmities, that the heirs to the Crown might be left minors, and that the kingdom might be involved in the calamities of civil war by the renewal of the old dispute with Baliol about the succession, despatched his trusty compatriot, the good Sir James Douglas, to John Baliol, who was then resident in France, with the view of inducing him, by large presents and promises, to renounce all claim to the succession. Douglas was successful in his important mission. Baliol readily assented that King Robert the Bruce and his heirs should remain in the undisturbed possession of the Crown of Scotland.^ Previous to this, an Act of Parliament had been passed for the settlement of the succession to the Crown, at Ayr, 26th April 1315, which settled it, in the event of the decease of King Robert the Bruce without heirs-male of his body, on his only brother, Edward 1 Buchanan's History of Scotland, Aikman's edition, vol. L p. 437. PARLIAMENT AT CAMBUSKENNETE, 1326. jdiii Bruce, and the heirs of his body ; whom failing, on Marjory, his daughter, and the heirs of her body, on condition that she should not marry without the consent of her father, or, in case of his death, without the consent of the majority of the Estates of Parliament ; whom failing, on the nearest lawful heir descended of the body of King Robert. In the event of the heir-male being a minor when the succession opened, Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, was to be his guardian, and Governor of the kingdom. Another Act had been passed at Scone in December 1318, when, in consequence of the death of Edward King of Ireland, the King's brother, and of his daughter Marjory, the succession to the Crown was settled, in the event of the death of King Robert without male issue, on Robert Stewart, only son of his daughter Marjory, by her spouse, Walter, Lord High Steward of Scotland. It was also pro\dded that should Robert Stewart, or the heir to the Crown, succeed when a minor, Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, and failing him James Lord Douglas, should be his tutor, and Governor of the kingdom.^ The revenues of the Crown having been much impaired by the long-continued wars with England, King Robert the Bruce prayed the Parliament, held at Cambuskenneth, 15th July 1326, for such a pecu- niary grant as his own and the State's necessities required. A grant of supplies was immediately made. The Act by which it was made * The Acta of the Parliaments of Scotland, Robertson's Index to the Records appended, Reign of Robert the First, voL i. pp. 104, 105; pp. 6-10. xliv INTRODUCTION. ' ! I III narrates that King Robert, holding his full Parliament at Cambusken- neth, the earls, barons, burgesses and all other freeholders of his kingdom being assembled, set forth that the lands and rents which anciently belonged to his Crown had been so much diminished by different grants and transfers made on the occasion of war, that he had not sustentation suitable to his rank without imposing an intoler- able burden on his people. He therefore earnestly requested that as he had sustained both in his person and property many inconveniences in the efforts he had made for recovering and preserving their liberties, the Parliament would be pleased, from the gratitude due from them, to find ways and means by which he might be main- tained in a manner corresponding with his rank without oppressing his people. Regarding this petition as just and reasonable, the Parhament "unanimously, thankfully and lovingly," granted him annually for his lifetime, to be wholly applied for his use, the tenth penny of all their farms and rents, both from their dominical lands and wards, and from their other lands whatsoever, to be estimated according to the valuation of the lands and rents in the time of Alexander the Third, excepting only that in case of destruction by war the tenth penny should be departed from in proportion to the amount of farm, which could not then be collected from the foresaid lands and rents, to be determined by an inquest to be faithfully made by the sheriff of the place. This arrangement was completed by an indenture entered into by the Parliament of the date mentioned. The attesting clause is in the following terms : — PARLIAMENTS AT CAMBUSKENNETH. xlv "In witness of all which, to one part of this indenture remaining with the said earls, barons, burgesses and freeholders, the common seal of the kingdom has been put ; whilst to the other part, re- maining with our lord the King, the seals of the earls, barons and other great freeholders, together with the common seals of the burghs of the kingdom, in their name, and of the whole community who are unanimous, have been appended."^ From the terms of this Act it is quite clear that the burgesses and freeholders took part as members in the proceedings of the Parliament. They are more explicitly mentioned in this Act than in that of the year 1315, the first occasion on which we find a trace of them, and the common seals of their burghs are appended along with those of the earls and barons who were present. This is the first instance in which we have distinct evidence that the burgesses of cities were admitted to share as members in the dehberations of the Scottish Parliament, although King Robert the Bruce was always anxious to secure the approval not only of the nobles and barons but of the whole community. At the same Parliament at Cambuskenneth, an auspicious matri- monial alliance was arranged between Christian Bruce, sister of the King, and Sir Andrew Murray of Bothwell, a brave and valiant soldier, who was afterwards Regent of Scotland.^ So frequently had the Parliament met at Cambuskenneth, and so ^ The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, Keign of Robert the First, vol. i. p. 115. -' Extracta ex Cronicis Scocie, Abbotsforfl Club, p. i54; Balfour's Annals of Scotland, vol. i. p. 102. |! xlvi INTRODUCTION. notable were the Parliaments which assembled there from the im- portant business transacted, that one of the buildings connected with the Abbey was known as the " Parliament Hall." The three successive Roberts of Scotland were, during their reigns, frequent visitors at Cambuskenneth. King Robert the Bruce granted a charter at Cambuskenneth on the 12th of March, in the sixth year of his reign (1311), in favour of the Abbey and Convent of Scone.' Before many witnesses of distinction, he granted at Cambuskenneth another charter on the 20th of July, in the twenty- first year of his reign (1326).^ King Robert the Second also granted charters at Cambuskenneth, on 16th and 18th January in the tenth year of his reign (1380), which show that he had remained at the Monastery for several days.' The King's expenses at Cambuskenneth are stated in the accounts of the Chamberlain.'' King Robert the Third received a resignation at Cambuskenneth in the second year of his reign (1392), of the lands of Ricardstoun and Warynstoun, in the barony of Currie and shire of Edinburgh, made by Marion of Wardlaw, and her son, Andrew of Wardlaw.^ A prophecy in reference to the death of King James the Second at the siege of Roxburgh, in the year 1460, is connected with one of 1 Liber Ecclesie de Scon, Maitland Club, * Accounts of the Chamberlain, vol. ii. 1843, p. 102. p. 115. 2 R^gistrum Magni Sigilli, p. 108, No. 60. 3 /6m/. pp. 142, 143, No8. 77, 83. * Registrum Magni SigUli, p. 209, No. 40. the officials of Cambuskenneth : During the siege the King pro- ceeded to examine a battery which was playing upon the town of Roxburgh. One of the cannon which composed this battery was a great gun of Flemish manufacture, which had been purchased by King James the First, but not tested during his reign. It was made of longitudinal bars of iron, fixed with iron hoops, which were made tight in a rude fashion by oak wedges. Owing to the ignorance of the engineers, this cannon was overcharged. The King being close to it, watching the direction of the guns, the cannon exploded, and he was struck by one of the wedges in the groin, which broke his thigh, and caused his death. This tragedy was foretold to the King long before it happened. " That accident of the death of the King, if it may be related, was long before, as is said, foreshown to the King by the late John Templeman, who was the father of Sir William Templeman, Superior of the Monastery of Cambuskenneth, who, whilst [tending] his flock on the Ochil hills — ."^ Here the manuscript abruptly closes, and what John Templeman predicted remains untold. ^ Extracta ex Cronicis Scocie, Abbotsford Club, 1842, p. 244. xlviii rxrnoDUCTiox. THE ABBOTS OF CAMBUSKENNETH. Thk long line of Abbots of this religious house can be traced with considerable accuracy. The roll contains the names of several who were famous as statesmen, senators and scholars. I. William, the First Abbot, 1147-11G4. William, Abbot of the Church of St. Mary of Stirling, who was the first Abbot, and the institutor of the church, received from Pope Eugene the Third a Bull, dated 30th August 1147, proceeding upon a petition by Kobert, Prior of St. Andrews. By this Bull his Holiness took the church under his own protection and that of St. Peter ; ordained that the canonical order of Arrosia, instituted there by the Al)))ot, should be inviolably preserved for ever ; and confirmed to the Abbot and his successors all the grants made to them, particularly the land of Cambuskenneth, etc' " William, Abbot of Stirling," was witness to a charter by Prince Henry, son of King David the First, to the Church of Newbottle.^ Abbot William died before the year 1104, when Alfred is named as the Abbot. II. Alfred, the Second Abbot, 1164-1195. Alfred, Abbot of the Church of Stirling, who was the second who held the office, received from Pope Alexander the Third a Bull, dated 5th December 1164, taking the Church of Stirling under his 1 In/rn, p. 33, No. 23. ^ Registrum S. Marie de Newbotle, p. 15. THE ABBOTS. xlix own protection and that of St. Peter. By this Bull he confirmed to the Abbot all his possessions, particularly the land of Cambuskenneth, the fishing between that land and Polmaise, and one net in the water, and many other possessions therein specified ; together with the free right of burial in Cambuskenneth to those who were desirous to be there interred, unless they were excommunicated or interdicted persons. The bull also provided that on the death of an Abbot no one should be appointed to that dignity by craft or violence, but should be chosen by the friars, or the more prudent of them, accord- ii\cr to the rule of St. AuQrustine. Excommunication and the divine o o wrath were threatened against those who should disturb the Abbots in the possession of their property.' Alfred, Abbot of Stirling, was one of the witnesses to a charter by King Malcolm the Fourth to the Church of Holyrood, without date, but which must have been granted about the year 1165.^ Abbot Alfred died before the year 1195, when Nicholas w^as the Abbot. III. Nicholas, the Third Abbot, 1195-1207. Nicholas, Abbot of the Church of St. Mary of Stirling, who was the third who held that office, received, in the year 1195, from Pope Celestine the Third, a Bull taking him under the Papal protection, and confirming to him all his possessions as therein enumerated. These possessions are extensive, and show that numerous grants had ^ Infra, p. 40, No. 24. ^ Registrum S.

The Bull debars any one from extorting from the monks payment of teinds either from culti- vated or from pasture lands. It also invests them with the privilege of offering an asylum within their walls to those who fled from the world ; prohibits the brethren from leaving the Abbey after pro- fession, except for the purpose of entering a convent where stricter rules are enforced ; confers on the monks the right of selecting priests for their parish churches to be presented to the bishop of the diocese for induction, and of choosing their Abbots ; and grants the rifrht of free burial within its sacred precincts to such as, from feelings of devotion, should desire to be there interred.^ Abbot Nicholas died before the year 1207, when William was elected. IV. William, the Fourth Abbot, 1207-1253. William, Abbot of Cambuskenneth, is the next on record. "Anno 1207, Willielmus Canonicus Sancte Crucis electus est in ab- batem de Cambuskenneth."^ Abbot William died before the year 1253, when Richard appears as Abbot. V.

Richard, the Sixth Abbot, 1269-1285. Richard Grose (Grossius) was made Abbot of Cambuskenneth in the year 1269, on the death of his predecessor of the same Christian name. He was previously Prior of the Church of Cambuskenneth. Richard, while he lived, had a high reputation for sanctity, and after his death was signalized by the wonderful appearances that were seen around his tomb. " He was renowned," to quote from an old MS., " for signs and miracles after his death. Near to his monu- ment there were seen brazen candlesticks, also a very ancient lamp ; also a very old wooden chest suitable for receiving the offerings of the faithful."^ He was succeeded by VII. John, the Seventh Abbot, 1285-1296. In a charter by Thomas of Monjrmusk to Sir Patrick Graham of the lands of Cuyl, in the earldom of Strathem, without date, but granted about the year 1285, the first witness named is " Domino Johanne Abbate de Cambuskenneth."* It was probably this Abbot 1 The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, ' Translation of Latin MS. quotation in vol.

Patrick, Abbot of Cambuskenneth, swore fealty to Edward the First on 12th August 1296*. He was interred beneath the stone arch, and an inscription on the stone contained an epitome of his life. The notice of the inscription is in these terms : " Is sub arcu lapideo positus est superaddita lapidi Inscriptione, que epitomen vitai con- tineret."" IX. Gilbert, the Ninth Abbot, 1310-1311. Gilbert, Abbot of Cambuskenneth, was witness to an indenture between Sir Niel Campbell of Lochaw, Sir Christopher Seton, and » The Acts of the Parliameots of Scotland, Scotland, 1286-1306, Edin. 1870, vol. i.j). 12<). vol. i. p. 85; Historical Documents relating to 2 MS. in Macfarlane, ut aujrra, p. 317.

Fergus, the Tenth Abbot, 1311-1330. Fergus, Abbot of Cambuskenneth, granted letters, dated 12th Sep- tember 1311,^ making over to the Abbot and Convent of Cupar the Church of Glenisla, which had been conferred on the Abbey of Cam- buskenneth by King William the Lion. The letters contain the reservation of a yearly pension of £10, to be paid by the Abbey of Cupar to the Abbey of Cambuskenneth. Fergus was probably the Abbot of Cambuskenneth who, on the 26th April 1315, attended a Parliament at Ayr, in which an Act was passed already noticed, for the settlement of the Crown in the event of the death of King Robert the Bruce. The seal of the Abbot of Cambuskenneth was attached to the original of that Act.^ The same Abbot attended another Parliament held at Scone on 3d December 1318, also already noticed, and to its principal Acts his seal was appended.* In the time of this Abbot the gift of the patronage of the Church of Kilmaronock was conferred on the Abbey by King Robert the Bruce. The charter making this grant is dated at Scone, 16th January ^ MS. in Macfarlane, ut supra, p. 318, where ^ The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, the indenture is said to be in the custody of vol. i. p. 104, and Tabula, p. 14. the Earl of Winton. 4 Ibid. p. 105, and Tabula, p. 14. 2 Infra, p. 137, No. 105. h i !.

Fergus died before the year 1335, when John was Abbot. XL John, Eleventh Abbot, 1330-1335. The only notice of this Abbot now existing is that he died on 15th March 1335. XII. John of Kincardine, Twelfth Abbot, 1336-1342. On the death of the preceding Abbot, Prior John of Kincardine was unanimously elected as his successor by the Chapter of the Monastery on the 24th of April thereafter, and singing the Te Deum the Chapter, according to custom, bore him to the great altar of their church, to be confirmed by the Prior of St. Andrews.* In the letter of John of CarraQ, Prior of the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, a similar narration is given of what took place in the chapter-house thereof, on 25th April 1336.* Abbot John of Kincardine died before 1342, when William was Abbot. 1 Infra, p. 200, No. 146. 2 Infra, p. 209, No. 153. 3 Infra, p. 211, No. 154. * Infra, p. 130, No. 98. * Infra, p. 130, No. 98.

This Abbot received from Pope Clement the Sixth letters, dated 2d October 1342, addressed to the Bishop of Glasgow, and desiring him to inquire into the right of the Abbot and Convent of Cam- buskenneth to the patronage of the Church of Kilmaronock, which had been granted to them by King Robert the Bruce.* William died before 1350, when Adam was Abbot. XIV. Adam, Fourteenth Abbot, 1350-1360. On the 2 2d of August 1350 a precept was granted by Brice, Dean of Fife, to the Rector of Torry, stating that he was so occupied with the affairs of the Lord Bishop as to be unable to give to Adam, Abbot of Cambuskenneth, institution into the vicarage of Clackman- nan, and entreating the Rector to go personally to the vicarage with Adam the Abbot, and, in his stead, to give him institution therein.^ Abbot Adam also obtained from William Landale, Bishop of St. Andrews, a precept, dated at Lochleven, 2 2d August 1350, of the vicarage of Clackmannan, for the purpose of relieving the Abbey from the loss which it had sustained through wicked men. The Dean of Fife was charged by that precept to give the Abbot institution and coi-poral possession of the fruits, rents, etc., of the vicarage.' Adam died before the year 1361, when Gilbert was Abbot. » Infra, p. 206, No. 151. « Infra, p. 77, No. 56. » Infra, p. 80, No. 61. ( ! Ivi INTRODUCTION. XV. Gilbert, Fifteenth Abbot, 1360-1389. On 7th February 1361 a charter was made by William, Bishop of St. Andrews, granting to Gilbert, Abbot, and the Convent of Cam- buskenneth the Church of Kinnoull, with its lands, teinds, offerings, etc., and investing the Abbot therein, reserving the right of Brice, rector of the church. The charter bears that RoljKirt of Erskine, Lord of that Ilk, and of the barony of Kinnoull, had granted the patronage of the Church of Kinnoull to the Abbot of Cambuskeuneth, and thcCt the Bishop of St. Andrews had often been urged by Sir Robert, and King David Bmce at his instance, to grant the church itself to the Abbey. The Bishop, in consideration of the devotion of the granter, the urgency of the Prince, and the poverty and ruinous condition of the Abbey, which had suffered by war, and had also been struck by lightning, invested the Abbot and Convent with the Church of Kinnoull by delivering his ring in token of possession.^ Abbot Gilbert died before the year 1390, when William of Blackburn was Abbot. XVI. William of Blackburn, Sixteenth Abbot, 1389-1400. William of Blackburn was Abbot in the year 1389. In that year he was involved in a dispute with William of Fentoune, younger, which led to a remarkable decree by the arbiters appointed for the settlement of the controversy, dated at the Kirk of Perth, on 13th February 1389, whereby it was ordained that Fentoune should 1 //i/Va, p. 225, No. 161. THE ABBOTS. Ivii restore to the Abbot's men of Kintulach ten oxen and five cows Avhich had been wrongously taken from them. By another finding of the arbiters, Fentoune, for having spoken " dispituisly" of the Abbot and his court, was ordained to come to the Abbey on Ladyday, hoodless, hoseless, hatless, shoeless, beltless and knifeless, during the celebration of high mass, with a wax candle of two pounds weight in his hand, and there, in presence of the people, upon his knees, to ask forgiveness from the Abbot and Convent.^ On the 18th of August 1390, a precept was granted at Scone by King Robert the Third, after his coronation, in favour of William, Abbot of Cambuskeuneth, in reference to the lands of Kettleston in the county of Linlithgow.^ As has already been described, the Abbot, in the year 1392, brought down the sentence of excom- munication upon the head of Robert Sinclair, Bishop of Dunkeld, for the removal of certain animals belonging to the Abbot. The feuds between the Bishop of Dunkeld and the Abbot of Cambus- kenneth did not cease with the excommunication of Bishop Robert Sinclair. Robert Cardny, who succeeded him, did much injury to the Abbot by making a very expensive visitation to the churches of Lecropt and Alva, and also by ordering the fruits of these churches, which belonged to the Abbot, to be accounted for to the Bishop, under pain of excommunication. The Abbot appealed to the Pope for redress.^ 1 Infra, p. 259, No. 181. - The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, voL i. p. 2J5. 3 Infra, p. 26, No. 17. 1 • •• Iviii INTRODUCTION. No notice is taken by Abbot Mylne, in his Lives of the Bishops of Dunkeld, of the excommunication of Bishop Sinclair. Both Abbot Mylne and Bishop Keith, in their Catalogue of Bishops, pass him over in their enumeration of the Bishops of Dunkeld. They con- found him with his successor, whose Christian name wa^ also Robert, but whose surname was Cardny, being a son of Cardny of that Ilk. Sinclair was excommunicated in the year 1393, and could not have afterwards continued in office. But Bishop Cardny held the See of Dunkeld till the year 1436. Bishop Keith in his Catalogue of Bishops says,— " Though it might reasonably be expected that Abbot MiU would have given us a right exact series of the Bishops of this See, yet upon perusal we find the case to be very far otherwise, there being no greater con fusion to be met with in any other of the episcopal sees." ^ William of Blackburn died before or in the year 1400, when Patrick was Abbot. XVII. Patrick, Seventeenth Abbot, 1400-1440. Patrick appears to have succeeded in the year 1400. In a judi- cial proceeding about the lands of Dunipace, in the year 1426, it is said that he had possessed them for twenty-six years. In his time an important privilege was granted by the Pope. On 15th May 1401, Abbot Patrick received a notarial instrument in the chapter- house of Cambuskenneth in reference to the supply of divine service I Catalogue, edition of 1824, p. 73.

In the year 1406, Pope Benedict the Thirteenth, in the twelfth year of his Pontificate, granted a bull conferring on Patrick and his successors as Abbots the right freely to use the mitre, seal-ring, and other pontifical insignia, and also to pro- nounce the solemn benediction after morning and evening mass in the churches of the Abbey and of the priories subject to them, and in parochial and other churches though not fully subject to them when no bishop or legate of the Apostolic See was present.^ In the year 1412, Abbot Patrick entered into an indenture with John Scougall, relative to a tenement in the burgh of Stirling, in the Hill Wynd, leading to the bridge of the Forth.' At the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, 12th February 1413-14, Abbot Patrick granted a discharge to the Abbot of Cupar for £10 Scots for the yearly pension of the Church of Glenisla.* He was a witness to an instrument expede in a general council held at Perth, on 17th March 1415, containing a copy of the renuncia- tion by King Edward the Third of the Crown of Scotland, dated 1st March 1327. An arrangement was made, in the chapter-house of Dunferm- line, on 23d May 1422, between Abbot Patrick of Cambuskenneth and William Abbot of Dunfermline, respecting the arrears of four 1 Infra, p. 32, No. 21. 2 Jnfroy p. 62, No. 32. 3 Infra, p. 298, No. 210. * Infra, p. 141, No. 107.

In that mission the com- missioners were successful, the treaty having been concluded at York on the 10th of September 1423. An impression of the seal of this Abbot is preserved in the Public Record Office, London, from which an engraving has been made for this work. It represents the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus sitting within a Gothic niche, and beneath which is the figure of a monk in an attitude of prayer. Abbot Patrick died before the year 1440, when David was Abbot. XVIII. David White, Eighteenth Abbot, 1440-1445. David was Abbot in the year 1440, when, under the designation of Abbot of Cambuskenneth, he appeared at Linlithgow as procurator of John of Annand, canon of the Abbey, on the 22d of August that » Infra, p. 134, No. 103.

Ixi year, and obtained possession for the Abbey of a tenement in the burgh. ^ This Abbot was one of the Auditors of the Exchequer Accounts of King James the Second at Stirling, on 16th June 1441.^ Abbot David and his Convent entered into an agreement, on 1st April 1443, with Clement of Farnile of Gogar, burgess of Edinburgh, with consent of Sir John Forester, Lord of Corstorphine, knight, whereby Clement granted to the Abbot and Convent authority, at their own expense, to break, build and again raise the stone gable be- tween their forehouse and dementis forehouse at the west corner thereof, — the Abbot making to Clement on his side a chimney of stone.^ This Abbot appears to have held office only for a few years. In a notarial instrument expede by his successor, also named David, dated 5th January 1445-6, Abbot David White, of good memory, is mentioned as the constructor of one of the many gardens which sur- rounded the Abbey of Cambuskenneth.* XIX. David (Celle), Nineteenth Abbot, 1445-1463. This Abbot appears to have succeeded the former of the same Christian name in the year 1445. On the 1 7th June of that year, either this Abbot or his immediate predecessor obtained possession of a certain land in the burgh of Edinburgh, at the back part of the house belonging to the Abbot of Cambuskenneth.*^ 3 Infra, p. 126, No. 95. » Infra, p. 272, No. 187. 2 Accounts of the Great Chamberlain, vol. iii. p. 400. ^ Infra, p. 307, No. 214. 5 Infra, \^. 129, No. 97. if 1*1 !4 •I J 4 W Izu INTRODUCTION. Another instrument in which this Abbot David is mentioned is of some interest. It bears that, with consent of the Convent, he gave for the repair and maintenance of the private altars of their Abbey ehurch the small annualrents of their lands of the town of Stirhng, which were to be annexed, united, and proportionaUy divided among them as follows : to the altar of St. Andrew the Apostle an annual- rent from the lands of Sehakelok of 68. 8d. ; to that of St. John the Evangelist and St. John the Baptist, an annualrent of 4s. from the land of Robert Bonar ; an annualrent of Is. 8d. from the land of John Darach of the Cross, and another of Is. from the land of John Tuch ; to that of St. Laurence the Martyr an annualrent of 3s. from Croft- magra, and two others of 6s. 8d. ; and to the altars of St. Nicholas, St. Ninian, St. Catherine and All Saints the annualrents specified. This instrument was made in the chapter-house of the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, on Epiphany Eve. (5th January) 1445 ; and it is subscribed by the Abbot, the Prior and the Convent, in all nineteen persons.^ David Abbot of Cambuskenneth appeared in the barony Court of Harbertshire, held at Dunipace on the 28th of May 1462, and suc- cessfuUy maintained his right to four oxgates of land in the town of Dunipace, which were claimed by John Keir.^ Abbot David held office for many years. He died before the year 1465, when John was Abbot. /n/m, p. 307, No. 214. « Infra, p. 121, No. 91. THE ABBOTS. Ixiii XX. John, Twentieth Abbot, 1463-1473. John Abbot of Cambuskenneth was witness to an instrument regarding the teinds of Petlour, dated 18th July 1465.^ This Abbot was a member of the Parliament of King James the Third, held at Edinburgh on 12th October 1467.^ He was also a member of the Parliament held at Stirling on 12th January 1467. The same Abbot was present as a member of the Parliament which was opened at Edinburgh, 20th November 1469. An Act of this Parliament, which had a reference to the Abbey of Cambusken- neth and other monasteries, may here be noticed. The Pope had granted a perpetual privilege and indult to the Bishops of St. Andrews to confirm such as should be chosen by convents to be abbots or priors within the diocese of St. Andrews. It was therefore statute by tliis Parliament that the said indult and privilege should be observed by the King, his successors and lieges, in time to come, and that none of his subjects, of whatsoever condition, should in any way \dolate it, nor procure any vacant abbacies or priories within the diocese of St. Andrews in time coming, without the confirmation of the Bishop of St. Andrews for the time, under the pain of perpetual banishment and proscription, and under the highest penalty of treason. It was also ordained that the abbacies and priories within the diocese of St. Andrews, of which many, including the Abbey of Cam- buskenneth, are mentioned, should have this Act and Statute of ^ Chartulary of the Abbey of Arbroath, 2 ^h^ ^g^s of the Parliaments of Scotland, vol ii. p. 145. voL il p. 87. li m t' 1 ■' - It:'! ! • i'a' f i bfiv INTRODUCTION. Parliament with the said indult My inserted under the King's Great Seal, if required, in perpetual memoiy of the said Act of Parhament, for the conservation of the common good of the realm, and that the Kin- and his successors, with the Three Estates of the realm, should defend the said privilege and indult, and execute the penalty of proscription and treason upon its violators in the most ngorous manner.' . u ,. Abbot John also sat as a member of the Parliament held at Edinburgh 6th May 1471." No other notice has been found of this Abbot, who ceased to hold office before the year 1473, when Henry was Abbot. XXI. Henry Arnot, Twenty-first Abbot, 1473-1504. Henry Arnot was Abbot in the year 1473, when, under the de- signation of Abbot of Cambuskenneth, he, with other men of influence aTd position, was sent on an embassy from the Court of Scotland to the Court of England. In that capacity he obtained a safe-conduct from King Edward the Fourth. The Abbot of Cambuskenneth was a member of the Parliament held at Edinburgh, in 1475, in the reign of King James the Third, which, on 1st December, passed sentence of forfeiture of life and possessions upon John Earl of Ross and Lord of the Isles, for his treasonable communing with hU sovereign Lord's enemies of Eng- 1 The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, vol. ii. p. 98. « Ibid. voL il p. 98. land, and with the traitor Sir James Douglas, some time Earl of Douglas, and other acts of treason.^ Abbot Henry obtained possession of tenements in Stirling on behalf of the Abbey by a peculiar legal process. On 20th June 1481, the procurator for the Abbot and Convent compeared before the Provost, bailies and Council of Stirling, and made process in their four chief Courts successively, respecting a tenement in St Mary's Vennel, Stirling, some time belonging to John Wilson, on account of failure for several years to pay an annuakent of five shillings to the Abbot. The procurator went to the tenement, and found nothing that could be distrained for the said annualrent, except the earth and stones ; on this being represented to the Provost, bailies and Council, they adjudged possession of the tenement to the Abbot and Convent.^ The same Abbot was a member of the Parliaments which were held at Edinburgh 18th March 1481, 2d December 1482, 1st March 1482-3.' He was also a member of the Parliament which met at Edin- burgh 27th June 1483. This Parliament was famous for the process of forfeiture for treason which had been raised against Alexander Duke of Albany, the King's brother, who seems to have aspired to the Crown, and who had intrigued with Edward the Fourth, King of England, against his brother, the King of Scotland. The process, 1 The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, 3 The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, vol ii. pp. 108, 109. voL ii. pp. 136, 142-145. 2 Infra, p. 303, No. 212. •■fs ■} : i « . i* if!

The same Abbot was a member of the ParUament which assembled at Edinburgh 16th February 1483-4; a ParUament chiefly remarkable for the forfeiture of William Lord Crichtoun, John of Liddale. eldest son of Sir James of Liddale, late of Halkers- toun, knight, David Purves, and others, as being art and part m the treason committed by Alexander, formerly Duke of Albany, the King's brother, against the King and his realm.'

In witness of all and sundry the premisses the King's Great Seal, and the seals of the venerable and reverend fathers in Christ, bishops, abbots, priors, together with the seals of earls, lords, barons, free-holders, and commissioners of burghs, were hung and appended thereto.^ Henry Abbot of Cambuskenneth was the first-named witness in a bond of manrent by William of Stirling of the Keir to Thomas Lord Erskine, dated 2 2d August 1487.^ During the time of this Abbot, Margaret of Denmark, Queen of James the Third, in February 1486-7, and that monarch himself, in 1488, were interred at the high altar in the Abbey of Cam- buskenneth ; and the funeral solemnities were no doubt performed by Abbot Henry. As a tribute to the memory of these illustrious ancestors, a monument with an appropriate inscription was erected by her Majesty Queen Victoria, in 1865, as is afterwards more fully described. Henry, Abbot of Cambuskenneth, was a member of the first Parliament of King James the Fourth, which was held at Edin- burgh, 6th October 1488. This Parliament applied themselves to ^ The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, « Inventory at Glenalmond College of the vol. ii. p. 179.

The whole blame, as might have been expected from such partial judges, whose object was to secure their own safety, was thrown upon the late King and his wicked counsellors. After full exammation, the Three Estates were unanimously of opinion that the slaughter committed in the field of Stirling, where the King's father was slam, together with divers of his barons and lieges, was wholly to be attri- buted to the offences and coloured deceit practised by him and his perverse counsellors divers times before the said field. The acquittal of Kinc^ James the Fourth and his advisers wa.s explicit, declaring that o^r sovereign lord, that now is, and the true lords and barons that were with him in the same field, were innocent, quit and free of the said slaughter.^ , In this Parliament also, in regard to the proclamation made at Scone it was statute and ordained that aU alienations of lands, heri- tages, 'long-tacks, feu-farms, offices, tailzies, bleneh-farms, and creations of^new dignities, granted to any persons of whatever estate, degree or condition, since the 2d day of February tot bj^ast, by the late King his Majesty's father, which might be prejudicial to the King and the Crown, were annulled, because such alienations, gifts and privi- leges were granted since the said time, for the assistance of the per- verse council that were contrary to the common good of the realm, and cause of the slaughter of the said sovereign Lord. This Parlia- ment being adjourned to the Uth of January, the Abbot of Cambus- 1 The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, vol. ii. p. 210. kenneth was appointed to act in the meantime as one of a committee of Parliament.^ The Abbot of Cambuskenneth was a member of the Parliament which was held on 14th January 1488, and was chosen one of the Lords of Causes." It is worthy of notice that by this Parliament the See of Glasgow was erected into an Archbishopric. The Abbot of Cambuskenneth was also a member of the Parlia- ments held at Edinburgh, 3d Febniary 1489-90 ; 28th April 1491 ; 6th February 1491-2 ; and he was one of the persons to whom the whole power of Parliament was committed by the Lord Commis- sioners of the last-mentioned Parliament, on 20th February.^ In a Parliament held at Edinburgh on 23d June 1496, King James the Fourth confirmed to Henry the Abbot and the Convent of Cambuskenneth the grant which he had formerly made of the Church of Kippen for Divine services for ever to be performed for the souls of the King's father and mother, James the Third and Margaret his spouse, whose ashes rested in the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, as appears from the charter referred to in this instrument. A notarial instrument on this confirmation was made in the Parliament House at Edinburgh.

The volume extended to 77 pages quarto. Another edition was printed, by subscription, in the year 1831. XCVl INTRODUCTION. Abbot Mylne is said to have been succeeded in his office by George Lockhart. The only authority for this statement is the MS. at the end of Macfarlane's Transcript of the Register of Cambuskenneth. But Lockhart died before Mylne, and the mistake appears to have arisen from misreading a statement in Knox's History, under the dates of 1530-1534, where it is said that among the auditors of the sermon of Friar William Arth, in the parish church of St. Andrews, which, from its alleged heretical character, had created much excitement, were " Maister George Lockhart, the Abbot of Cambuskenneth," and others. Lockhart and the Abbot of Cambuskenneth are here two distinct persons. Lockhart was for some time Provost of the Col- legiate Church of Crichton, in Midlothian, and afterwards Rector of the University of St. Andrews, from 1521-1525. He was sub- sequently Dean of Glasgow, where he died, on 22d June 1547.— (Registrum Episcopatus Glasguensis, Obituary, vol. ii. p. 614.) Subjoined are facsimiles of two signatures of Abbot Mylne,— the originals of which were adhibited by him as an auditor of the accounts of the Lord Treasurer in the year 1531-32. TEE ABBOTS: JOHN ERSKINE. xcvu XXVL John Erskine, afterwards Lord Erskine and Earl of Mar, the Twenty-sixth Abbot, c. 1550. This Abbot was the third-bom son of John, fourth Lord Erskine, and his wife, Lady Margaret Campbell, eldest daughter of Archibald second Earl of Argyll. John Erskine is said to have been Commen- dator of Cambuskenneth, and also of the Abbey of Dryburgh and of the Priory of Inchmahome at the same time. There is evidence that he held the two last offices, and it is probable that he also held the first, although there is no contemporary evidence of the fact. If he did, it could have been only for a short time, as he succeeded to the title of Lord Erskine on the death of his father, in the year 1552. His two elder brothers, Robert and Thomas, who were succes- sively Masters of Erskine, both died without lawful issue. The former was killed at the battle of Pinkie, on the 10th of September 1547, and the latter died in the year 1551. Robert Master of Erskine, the eldest brother, had a natural son, David, who was appointed Commendator of Dryburgh, and Thomas Master of Erskine, the second brother, had also a natural son, Adam, who be- came Commendator of Cambuskenneth, as will be afterwards shown. On the succession of John Lord Erskine to the title and estates of Erskine, it is presumed that he ceased to be Commendator of Cambuskenneth. XCVlll INTRODUCTION. XXVII. David Pantar, Twenty-seventh Abbot, 1552-1558. This Abbot, who was eminent both as a statesman and as a scholar, was son of David Pantar, the elder brother of Patrick Pantar, who has been noticed as Abbot of Cambuskenneth, and Margaret Crich- toun, his wife formerly Countess of Rothes. David Pantar's first preferment in the Church was to the vicarage of Carstairs, in the diocese of Glasgow. This appears from a letter which he wrote in Latin to Gavin Dunbar, Archbishop of Glasgow, and Lord Chancellor of Scotland, of which the following is a translation : — David Pantar to Ga vin. Archbishop of Glasgow, Chancellor of Scotland. If you are not aware, most excellent Prelate, or if you have not yet distinctly understood, by what right the vicarage of Carstairs is due to me, you may very easily ascertain it from the Apostolic letter, which I (herewith) send to your Rever- ence, whereby it clearly appears that the Supreme Pontiff duly appomted me to that sacred office two years ago, on the resignation of Alexander Paniter, the then in- cumbent. When, therefore, you shall have been convinced of this, I beseech you, most reverend Prelate, by your dignity, which is the pillar of justice, by blood rela- tionship, which should be a common pledge of good-will between us ; in fine, by that unbroken good faith and friendship which you have ever found in me, that you will yield to equity. For, in the judgment of all men, you have always been distinguished by a remarkable zeal for what is just and goo^-L^ TEE ABBOTS : ADAM ERSKINE. cv XXVIII. Adam Erskine, Twenty- eighth Abbot ok COMMENDATOR, 1562-1608. John Lord Erskine obtained from Mary of Lorraine, Queen Dowager, Regent of Scotland, a gift of the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, with power to appoint to it an Abbot or Commendator. To give effect to what her mother had thus done. Queen Mary made a grant to him of the Abbey, dated a 0th June 1562. By the same grant she appointed, in his name, and at his desire, his nephew, Adam Erskine, Chancellor of Glasgow, to the ofiice of Abbot or Commen- dator of the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, with the same right as if the appointment had been made by the court of Rome. This grant, from the light which it throws on the transference of the Abbey to the Erskine family, is here given entire : — " Marie, be the grace of God Quene of Scottis, to all and sindrie the fewaris, tennentis, occupiaris and inhabitantis of the abbacy vnderwrittin, landis, mylnis and fischeingis pertening thairto, and all vtheris oure liegis and subdittis quhome it efferis quhais knawlege thir oure lettres salcum, greting : fforsamekle as we, being rememberit that vmquhile oure derrest moder, and Regent of oure realme, having respect and regard to the gude, trew and thankfull seruice done to ws and oure said vmquhile derrest moder be oure traist cousing, Johnne Lord Erskin, gaif and disponit to him, and in his favouris, the Abbacy of Cambuskynneth,.with the haill landis, fruitis and proffittis pertening thairto, and he to nominat and put sic qualifyt persone as he plesit to be Abbot or Conunendatar to the samin, and directit oure supplicatouris to the Courte of Rome for obtening of prouisioun thairupoun as vse wes than : And now we being of will and mynd to performe the foirsaid gift and dispositioun maid be oure said vmquhile derrest moder, as said is : Thairfore, and for the gude, trew and thankfull seruice done and to be done to ws I W CVl INTRODUCTION. be oure said traist cousing, haue gevin, grantit and disponit, and be thir oure lettres gevis, grantis and disponis to the said Johnne Lord Erskin, the said haill Abbacy of Cambuskynneth, with the landis, mylnis, fischeingis, kirkis, teyndis, fruitis and proffittis pertening thairto, and, in his name and desyre, hes nominatit, providit and promovit, like as bethetennour of tliir oure present lettres nominatis, providis and promovis Maister Adame Erskin, Chancellare of Glasgw, In Abbot or Commendatar of the said Abbay, during all the dayis of his lyftyme, and will and grantis that this present nominatioun, promotioun and dispositioun is and salbe as vailzeable, and of als grat force, strenth and effect, to the said Maister Adame during his liftyme, as and he wer providit be provisioun hade thairto in the Courte of Rome thairupoun, with power to him, his chalmerianis, factouris and semandis, to intromet with the said Abbacy landis, mylnis, fischeingis, kirkis, mailes, firmes, fruitis, proffittis and dewiteis pertening thairto, and to dispone thairupoun, siclike and als frelie as onye abbot or commendatar dois and vsis within oure realme during the space foirsaid, butt onye reuocatioun, impediment, obstacle, or agane calling quhatsumeuir, quharefore we charge straitlie and com- mandis zow, all and sindrie, the saidis fewaris, tennentis, occupiaris and inhabi- tant's of the Abbacy foirsaidis landis, mylnis and fischeingis pertening thairto, and all vtheris oure liegis and subdittis foirsaidis, that ze, and ilkane of zow, reddilie answer, intend, obey and mak payment to the said Maister Adame, his chalmer- ianis, factouris and semandis in his name, present and to cum, off all and sindrie toailes, femies, dewittis, teyndis, fruitis and proffittis pertening to the said Abbacy, and to nane vtheris during his liftyme, vnder all hieast, pane, charge and offence, that ze, and ilkane of zou, may commit and inrin aganis oure Maiestie in that behalf.

The seal contains a design of two compartments : The upper one is a Gothic niche, with a half leno-tli figure of the Virgin and infant Saviour. The lower compartment contains a group of six monks kneeling in prayer. The legend is, "Sigill' conventvs see Marie de Kambvskinel." An engrav- ing of the seal is here given. At the time of his appointment, Adam Erskine was a young man. Till he was of age, or able to manage the business of Commendator himself, he had a substitute in the management of the affairs of the Abbey in Andrew Hagy, a confidential secretary or ser- vant of Lord Erskine, who acted as Iconimus and procurator of the Abbey. In the record of the seisin given to John Lord Erskine of a tenement of land and garden in the "bak raw" of Stirling, upon 26th January 1561, he is named " Dominus Andreas Heygy, Iconimus de Cambuskynneth."^ The office of Iconimus having terminated, a discharge was granted by Adam, Commendator of Cambuskenneth, with consent of the Convent, in favour of his well-beloved servitor, Andrew Hagy, dated 1 Records of the Town of Stirling, vol 1560 to 1564, in Town-Clerk's Office.

It narrates that, by demission and provision of the late Queen Dowager Maiy, the Regent, Hagy was appointed to the office of " Yconimus " and procurator of the Abbey, during the time that it was vacant and unprovided to Adam as Commendator, and that he had intromitted mth aU fruits, profits and emoluments of the Abbey, and thereupon had made sufficient reckoning of his intromis- sions t^ Adam as Commendator and his auditors, from whom he had power to that effect, showing clearly how they had been expended for the benefit of the Commendator and his Abbey.

On that date, as Commendator and parson of the parish of Campsy. he granted a discharge to WiUiam Living- ston of KUsyth, for two hundred merks Scots, in payment of the teinds of Kilsyth for the year 1563.' After the Reformation the monks of Cambuskenneth continued to receive payments of grain from the Abbey lands.

Part of this building still remains, and a description of it will afterwards be given. Adam Erskine was sometimes employed in public affairs. An official letter from him to the Laird of Dun, younger, requesting him to urge his father, John Erskine, Superintendent of Angus and Mearns, to be present on the 15th of June 1579, at the Castle of Stirling, at the trial of the cause of the Earl of Atholl before the whole Council, is here given as a specimen of a missive letter in the sixteenth century : — Treist Freind, — Eftir maist hairtlie commendatioune : ye sail wit that the Kingis Grace hes directed this missiue to the Laird your fathair to be heir vpone tjie fiftene day of this instant, and that for tryell of my Lord of Athollis pursseuing, and to that effect the King hes ordanit his haill coinsall to be heir present at the said day : Thairffoir ze sail do at ze can at your fatheris hand, to forder him heir with dili- genss, for my Ladie Athoill, togidder with sindrie of my Loird of Athoilis freindis, is to be heir at the said day.

John Knox had a great respect for the Superintendent, whom he describes as a person marvellously illuminated with religion ; and with whom he had re- mained a month at Dun daily exercising in doctrine.^ In the year 1582, Adam, Commendator of Cambuskenneth, took part with his chief, John Earl of Mar, in the Raid of Ruthven. But, on the 29th November, in the following year, he and three of his domestic servants obtained a remission of that crime.^ Adam Erskine was involved in pecuniary difficulties, and, at the instance of his creditors, was denounced "rebel" and put « to the horn." By this proceeding his property was escheated to the Crown, and a gift of his escheated goods, dated 13th September 1593, was made by King James the Sixth to John Earl of Mar.^ On the 15th of November 1602, the Magistrates of Stirlmg ordained the Masters of the Hospital to borrow two hundred merks until Whitsunday next, that therewith the Abbot of Cambuskenneth might be satisfied of the arrears of maiUs claimed by him from the town, and for a perpetual right thereof to the poor of the Hospital in time coming, conform to the decreet-arbitral pronounced betwixt the .

CXI Abbot and the Town Chamberlain.^ The claim here referred to on the part of the Abbot was probably in virtue of the grants made by King David the First, and subsequent sovereigns, to the Abbey, from the town of Stirling, and which had been paid for many years, as appears from the Chamberlain Rolls. ^ Two years later, on 1st June 1604, the Magistrates of Stirling directed that the ford at the back of the Abbey, and beside the Blackwilly, be red and cleaned of the stones therein, which stopped the passage of the same.^ Having embraced the Reformed faith, Adam Erskine married Margaret Drummond, who was living as his wife in the year 1601.* He died in or shortly before the year 1608, having held office for more than forty years, during which he granted many charters and leases of lands belonging to the Abbey. Among the last of these was a lease granted in the year 1605 to Robert Nairne, Advocate, of the teinds of Torbrex.® To the close of his life Erskine suffered from pecuniary embarrass- ments. Shortly before his death he was declared rebel, and put to the King's horn ; and after that event attempts were made by various parties to obtain the gift of the escheat of his goods.

On the 31st of May 1608, the Honourable Alexander Erskine, third son of John Earl of Mar, Lord Treasurer, was appointed by the King Commendator of the Abbey of Cambuskenneth.^ In an ecclesiastical sense this appointment was a mere formality, for all duties attached to the office had been previously abolished by law. The grant was only intended to secure the temporalities which remained connected with the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, and the title to them did not long continue to rest on it. John Earl of Mar obtained from King James the Sixth a grant of the Abbeys of Cam- buskenneth and Dryburgh, and of the Priory of Inchmahome, all which were erected into the temporal lordship of Cardross. Under this grant the Earl had the power of assigning the subjects included in it, and he bestowed on his fourth son, the Honourable Alexander Erskine, the lands of Cambuskenneth, by a charter, dated 23d August 1617, which is afterwards quoted in the account of the lord- ship of Cardross. Although appointed to a nominally ecclesiastical office, Alexander Erskine was by profession a soldier ; and rose to the rank of a colonel in the army. His death was caused by an accident, through which many others were killed at the same time. When stationed with ^ Reg. Mag. Sig., Lib. x\v. No. 195. CXIV INTRODUCTION. the army of the Covenanters in the Castle of Dunglas, in East Lothian, he and Thomas, second Earl of Haddington, who was married to his youngest sister, Lady Catherine Erskine, and many others, knights, barons and gentlemen, were killed by an explosion of gunpowder on the afternoon of the 30th of August 1640. This expbsion, according to tradition, was caused by an English page of the Earl of Haddington, who, having been taunted by the Scottish soldiers with the cowardice shown by his countrymen at the battle of Newburn, in revenge thrust a red-hot iron into the powder magazine, himself sharing the fate of his mockers. °0n the 1st of September, Colonel Alexander Erskine and the Earl of Haddington, with his two brothers, Robert and Mr. Patrick Hamilton, were buried at Tyningham.' Colonel Erskine died without issue, and was succeeded by his next brother, the Honourable Sir Charles Erskine of Cambuskenneth and Alva, knight. Sir Charles died at Edinburgh on 8th July 1663, and was succeeded in Cambuskenneth by his eldest son, Thomas Erskine. Thomas died, without issue, before the 3d of April 1672, on which date his next surviving brother. Sir Charles Erskine of Alva, knight-baronet, was served heir to him in the lands of Cam- buskenneth, in the counties of Clackmannan, Fife, and Perth.* The instrument of sasine in favour of Sir Charles, a^ heir to his brother 1 Records of the parish of Tyningham, in •which the event is described as "that un- happie and lamentable exigence of the blowing up of the house of Dunglaas by powder."

The gift of a convicted thief to Sir John Erskine of Alva is a curious illustration of the state of the criminal law in his time. A brass collar was, some years ago, dragged up by a fishing-net from the river Forth, opposite to Chamberlain's lands in the parish of Logic, of which Sir John Erskine was the superior ; and on this collar is the following inscription : — " Alex' Steuart, found guilty of death for theft, at Perth, the 5th of December 1701, and gifted by the Justiciars as a perpetual servent to S'' John Areskin of Alva."*^ The following account is given of the criminal Alexander Steuart, and other three criminals who were condemned at the same time : "At Perth, the 5th day of December 1701, the Commissioners of Justiciary of the south district, for securing the peace in the High- lands, considering that Donald Robertson, Alexander Stewart, John Robertson and Donald Macdonald, prisoners within the Tolbooth, and indicted and tried at this Court, and by virtue of the inquest returned guilty of death, and the Commissioners have changed their punish- * Original Sasine amongst Muniments of 2 Original engraved Brass Collar in the Cowan's Hospital in Stirling.

The con- tract of sale entered into between them is dated 29th of August 1709.^ 1 Original Statistical Account of the Parish of Alloa, vol. viii. pp. 599, 600. 2 About twenty years previous to this pur- chase, the Magistrates of Stirling, as Masters of the Nether Hospital, purchased, in the year 1681, from Sir John Stirling of Keir, his lands of Southfield, which lie contiguous to the town of Stirling on the south-west side. The price was fourteen thousand merks, " and two hundred merks were to be given to the Lady in lieu of her gown, being ordinary in such bargains." No trace of the " lady's gown " appears in the sale of the lands of Cambus- kenneth. — [Muniments of the Town of Stir- Ung.] TEE ABBOTS : ALEXANDER ERSKINE. cxvu After this sale a claim to the lands of Cambuskenneth was made on the part of William Erskine at Otterston, in the county of Fife. He appears to have been the only surviving son of the Honourable John Erskine, who was the fifth son of John Earl of Mar, Lord Treasurer, and of Margaret IngHs, heiress of Otterston. On 2 2d of June 1711, William Erskine expede a special service as heir of his uncle, Colonel Alexander Erskine of Cambuskenneth ; and he was infefted in the lands of Cambuskenneth on the 14th of the following month.^ As William Erskine was a degree further removed from Colonel Alexander Erskine of Cambuskenneth than the Erskines of Alva, who made up a feudal title as heir to the Colonel in the lands of Cam- buskenneth, no attention appears to have been paid to his claim. The disposition of the lands of Cambuskenneth obtained by the Masters of Cowan's Hospital, was granted by Sir John Erskine of Alva, and others, and is dated 23d and 26th December 1709. In this deed the lands conveyed to them are described as compre- hending the lands and teinds, parsonage and vicarage,' of the barony of Cambuskenneth underwritten, vizt., the manor-place, tower and habitation of Cambuskenneth, with the yard, orchyard, dovecot, houses, biggings and pertinents, aikers and tower, and lands commonly called the Hood of Cambuskenneth, the Waird Damside, and lands of Craigie, and dovecoat, with the miln, miln lands, mul- * Original Retour and Sasine amongst the Muniments of Cowan's Hospital ; also Kecord of Retours, printed in 1863, p. 9.

The Masters of Cowan's Hospital have since continued to be the owners of the barony of Cambuskenneth. The alterations which were made by them on the Tower of the Abbey for its preservation will be afterwards noticed. 1 Original Di8i)Osition among papers be- longing to Cowan's Hospital, Stirling. In a recent question as to the salmon-fishings in the Forth, it is explained that the lands contained in that disposition are situated on the left bank of the Forth, and extend from a considerable distance, at least a mile above the shore or harbour of Stirling, as far down as the Ruddery Pow, about a mile below the shore of Stirling. The farm of Hood begins within the upper march mentioned at the l)oint marked " Ferry," on the map referred to, and runs down near to the Ruddery Pow along the river side all the way. ERECTION OF LORDSHIP OF CARDROSS. CXIX THE ABBEY OF CAMBUSKENNETH AS PART OF THE LORDSHIP OF CARDROSS. The lordship and barony of Cardross was erected by King James the Sixth in favour of John, second Earl of Mar of the house of Erskine, by a charter dated 27th March 1604. It included, as fuUy described in the charter, all the lands, baronies, castles, towers, patronages, manor-places, mills, multures, salmon and other fishings, woods, parks, meadows, forests, teinds, teind-sheaves, annualrents, etc., which formerly belonged to the Priory of Inchmahome, and the Abbeys of Dryburgh and Cambuskenneth, with their right of patronage of the parish kirks, both parsonage and vicarage, of the said monasteries.^ This grant was made to enable that Earl the better to provide for his younger sons by his second Countess, Lady Mary Stewart, a cousin of the King, of whom his Majesty took great care.^ There is a tradition amongst her descendants that Lady Mary was in the practice of mak- ing grievous complaints to King James the Sixth as to the state of dependence in which her second son, Harry Erskine, would be placed, as compared with his two elder brothers, one of whom, by the first marriage of his father, would succeed as Earl of Mar, and the other, the eldest son of Lady Mary, was Earl of Buchan through the heiress of that earldom ; and that the King assured her that he would pro- * Recited in Act of Parliament.

Cardross is situated in the parish of Port ^ Crawford's Offices of State, p. 404. Menteith and county of Perth. It is now the ( cxx INTRODUCTION. vide for her second son, Harry Erskine ; and his grant of the lordship of Cardross, it is said, was in fulfilment of that promise.^ In reference to the marriage of John Earl of Mar and the Lady- Mary Stewart, their descendant, David Earl of Buchan, has recorded a tradition, that, according to the superstitious customs of the times, the Earl of Mar had listened to the nonsense of an Italian conjuror, who showed him a limning of a lady which, he said. Mar's future sweetheart and wife resembled, and Mar imagined that he recognised the same features in the daughter of the Duke of Lennox. He heard that she was destined by the King for another husband, and wrote a plaintive letter to James, saying that his health had even begun to suffer from the fear of disappointment. The King visited Mar and assured him, " Ye shauna dee, Jock, for ony lass in a' the land ;" and forthwith arranged the marriage. An Act of Parliament was passed on 9th July 1606, for the erec- tion of the Abbeys of Cambuskenneth and Dryburgh, and the Priory of Inchmahome, into a temporal lordship, to be called the Lord- ship OF Cardross, in favour of John Earl of Mar. The Act narrates that this was done in consideration of the good, true and thankful services done by John Earl of Mar and his predecessors in their great care, vigilance, and faithfulness in all things that tended to the ad- vancement of his Majesty's honourable aflfairs, whereof the Earl and his * The Editor was informed by the late Mr. Thomas Erskine of Linlathen that the tra- dition had been handed down in his family, which was descended from the marriage of John Earl of Mar and Lady Mary Stewart ERECTION OF LORDSHIP OF CARDROSS.

This Act refers to " The samjm monastereis and superstitiounis thereof being now abolishit, and the kirk landis of the samin now annexit to his Hienes Crowne." The Act also narrates that the said monasteries have been in all time heretofore commonly disponed by his Majesty's predecessors, " to sum that wer cum of the House of Erskeyne." The Act also ratifies the charter dated 27th March 1604, while it dissolves from the Act of Annexation of all kirk lands within the realm to the Crown, the lands, baronies, castles, etc., of the Priory of Inchmahome, and the Abbacies of Dryburgh and Cambuskenneth, and of new grants to John Earl of Mar, and his "airis maiU and assignayis heretablie," the lands, baronies, etc., therein specified, which before belonged to the said religious houses. The Act erects the whole into the Lordship and Barony of Card- ross, ordaining the manor-place of Cardross to be the principal messuage thereof. The lands, baronies, etc., which before belonged to the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, included, as stated in this Act, the place and mansion J h ii .i Il i. CXXll INTRODUCTION. of Cambuskenneth, with houses, biggings, orchards, dovecots and crofts, the town lands, acres, and Huid^ of Cambuskenneth, with the ward, etc. The other lands, fishings, patronages, etc., granted, are specified in the Act of Parliament, and have been akeady men- tioned among the lands belonging to the Abbey. The Act also " gives to the said noble Lord, his airis and succes- souris that salhappin to be provydit be him to the said lordschip and baronie of Cairdrois, the honour, estait, dignitie and prehemi- nence of ane frie Lord of ParUament. to be calHt Lord of Cardrois in all tyme cumming.'"* The Act states that the parish churches connected with the Abbey of Cambuskenneth and the other two Abbeys were for the most part destitute of preaching and comfort of the Word of God, in default of sufficient pastors and ministers for many years. The King commends to the Earl of Mar to provide the churches with learned ministers for instruction of the people 4n the true faith. The Act contains a reservation in favour of Adam, Commendator of Cambuskenneth, of the rents, etc., of the lands granted, during his lifetime, as freely as he enjoyed the same before the date of the Act. Following upon this Act, a charter by King James the Sixth was granted in favour of the Earl of Mar, dated 10th June 1610, granting the whole lands, etc., to be called the Lordship and Barony op Cardross, constituting him and his heirs-male, assignees 1 This is misprinted " hinde " in the Act of « The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, Parliament (vol. iv. p. 345, coL 17). voL iv. p. 343. jdwvna hmficitohccimh wlor&r ^hair^: the camejuhpe Ql Ic this mwlra/vbem-a/rhmofTillfhmrwu vmira^ la/rac 'y(?wrc ami mavfkr anisfr'-T!'>\ hi. iirxv li.m^r thr rr:..ly-ina.lc iii;itiTi;ils of thr nl.l ||uu>c Ml' (•Mnilm>k.'iiiH-ili.

EOYAL AND EMINENT PERSONS BURIED AT CAMBUSKENNETH. In the Bull of Clement the Third, dated at the Vatican on the 13th May 1195, and addressed to Nicholas, Abbot of the Church of St. Mary of Stirling, there was granted, among other privileges, the ricrht of free burial in Cambuskenneth to such as, from feelings of devotion, should desire to be there interred. Tlie successive abbots and monks of the Abbey, as well as many persons connected with the district around it, no doubt found their last resting-place within its precincts from a very early period, although there is now no trace of a cemetery connected with the Abbey. Walter Earl of Menteith selected Cambuskenneth as his burial place ; and on 6th April 1496, at StirHng, King James the Fourth confirmed, by a charter to the Abbey, a grant of the church of Kippen, made to it by the deceased Walter Earl of Menteith, and Alexander, his eldest son, and Matilda, his spouse, for their selected burial places in the Abbey. It is somewhat remarkable that the Earl of Menteith should have chosen Cambuskenneth for this purpose. His ancestors had founded, in the beautiful lake of Menteith, the Priory of Inchmahome, close to their mansion of Talla, situated on another island in the same lake, and Walter Stewart, Earl of Menteith, and his spouse, the Countess of Menteith, were interred at the high altar of the Priory of Menteith, among the ruins of which there is still preserved a recum- EMINENT PERSONS BURIED AT CAMBUSKENNETH. CXXIX bent monument on which is carved the shield of Earl Walter bearincr the well-known bend-cheque of the Stewarts of Menteith. The sequestered and sheltered Priory of Inchmahome with which they were so intimately connected, seems a more natural place of sepulture for his descendants than the distant Abbey of Cambuskenneth. It has been surmised that the Earls of Menteith, previous to the time of Earl Walter of the house of Stewart, had their burial-place in the church of Kippen, which is situated within the earldom ; and Earl Walter may have selected Cambuskenneth in its stead, as more suitable to the dignity of his family. In the year 1521, the Bishop of Dunblane, by a commission from the Prior of St. Andrews, Vicar-General during the vacancy of the See, dedicated with due solemnities the Abbey Church of Cambus- kenneth and the two cemeteries thereof, at the east and west end, with the chapter-house and enclosure. John Lord Erskine and other persons of distinction were present and concurred in the dedication.^ No trace of the two cemeteries then consecrated has been visible for many years. The most distinguished persons who were interred at Cambusken- neth were King James the Third and his spouse. Queen Margaret. The cu-cumstances connected with their death and burial at Cam- buskenneth have recently been investigated with much care and accuracy.^ Queen Margaret died at Stirling, and was buried in the » Infra, p. 122, No. 92. 2 Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, vol vl Part i. pp. 14-33. lu t:'p ll cxxx IXTUODUCTION.

As the Kiug fled from the field of Sauchieburn, his horse taking fright at the noise caused l)y a pitcher dropped from the hand of a terrified woman who was taking water from a well, he was thrown violently on the ground/ and was so much injured by the fall and oppressed by the weight of his armour that he fainted. The miller and his wife rushed out of the mill, which was close by, carried him into their house and covered him with a cloth to conceal him from his enemies, who were in hot pursuit. When the unfortunate King recovered his senses he called for a priest to hear his confession. To his rustic hosts, who inquired his name, he replied, " I was your King this morning." Alarmed at the announcement, the poor woman ran out calling loudly for assistance to the King. Some of the rebels who happened to pass at the moment heard her cries, Jind, according to tradition, one of them, a follower of Lord Gray, a priest by pro- fession, exclaimed, " I am a priest. Where is the King ?" He was led into the room where the King lay hid, and kneeling down beside him asked if he thought he might recover by the help of surgery. " 1 believe that I might," answered James ; *' but let me have a priest to hear my confession and to bring me the eucharist." The traitor, it is said, heard his confession, and then basely stabbed him to the heart. I James rotle ou this occasion a swift grey charger, which had been presented to him by Lord Limlsay of the Byres. EMINENT PERSONS BURIED AT CAMBUSKENNETH.

These duties, as appears from the payments made to the chaphiins for their services, continued to be performed from the year 1488 to the year 1560, when, on the estabUshment of the Reformed faith, all such ceremonies were strictly forbidden. Kino- James the Fourth, as he advanced in years, lamented the ftite of his father, and smitten, it is said, with remorse for the part which he had been led to take against him, was in the habit of wear- ing an iron girdle around his body by way of penance. He also ordered masses to be performed for his flither. In a charter granted by King James the Fourth, on 6th April 1496, in favour of the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, the King thus refers to the final resting-place of his parents : — Wc therefore, in honour of Almighty God and of the most (rlorious Virgin Mary his mother, and for the welfare of the souls of our deceased most noble father and mother, James the Third and Margaret, his spouse, of happy memory, whom God assoilzie ! whose bodies rest in our said Monastery, and for prayers to be offered up for them, and for us and our successors, for ever, approve, ratify, and confirm the gift conferred on the Abbey .^ From a feeling of reverence for the memory of his parents. King James the Fourth, long after the battle of Sauchieburn, intended that his own mortal remains should rest in the Abbey of Cambus- kenneth, and between the years 1501 and 1511 employed workers 1 Infra, p. 168, No. 129. EMINENT PERSONS BURIED AT CAMBUSKENNETH. cxxxm in stone and marble, painters and artists, to construct a lair or place of burial in the Abbey ; and various payments to them appear in the accounts of the Treasurer.^ The intentions of King James the Fourth were frustrated by the fate of war. After his death, at Flodden, in September 1513, his body was taken to London ; where his brother-in-law, King Henry the Eighth, wished to pay royal honours to his remains by their inter- ment in St. Pauls Cathedral. But as King James died while under excommunication by the Pope, this honour was denied him, and he was interred in the Abbey of Shene, or Richmond. According to tradition. King James the Third and his Queen were buried at the high altar of the Abbey of Cambuskenneth. This spot was long believed to be indicated by a large thorn-tree, which has been specially mentioned by a traveller in Scotland as marking the royal graves. It was blown down by a gale of wind, after which a branch grew up close to the site of the original thorn. This thorn served to guide the excavators who, on the 2d May 1864, began the exploration of the foundation of the Abbey. The results, so far as relates to the discovery of the royal graves, are thus recorded by Colonel Sir James E. Alexander : — " Between the high altar and the thorn-tree a slab of coarse blue marble, or mountain limestone, lay under the soil ; it was in a slanting position, as if dis- turbed formerly ; one corner of it was broken ofi", and it was also cracked across. What remained of the slab measured about five feet » Treasurer's Accounts, 1501-1511, M.S., H.M. General Eegister House, Edinburgh. CXXXIV INTRODUCTION. square and seven inches thick. It had a hewn margin, and was hewn as a panel across its rough face. This was the usual royal tablet stone seen at Dunfermline, Dunblane, etc' On close inspection bat- holes were seen with lead in them ; these had held the monumental brass of which two portions were found, the one with the figure of a flower on it, the other marked with cross lines ; the larger portion, with the inscription, had been torn off and removed. "It was resolved to look for a vault under the slab. It was accordingly raised, and on digging down a few feet a large oak coffin was found, the feet touching the enclosure of the high altar, the head to the w^est. Inside the coffin was a skeleton, doubtless that of King James the Third. On being exposed to the air most of the bones crumbled to dust ; some remained, fragments of the skull and of the lower jaw, two molar teeth, thigh-bones, etc. Moist clay surrounded the coffin, and this doubtless was the cause of its being preserved so long. The pieces of the coffin which remained showed the grain of the ^vood, oak, which probably was obtained from the neif^hbourinn- Torwood. On the left of the male bones were those of a female, and also those of a child. The three bodies had been disturbed before, perhaps for the purpose of plundering them of such ornaments as had been deposited with them. A small coffin orna- ment of metal was found, in shape like a flower. The bones were carefuUv laid aside for re-interment." 1 Lately, at the Abbey Craig, the mountain the freestone with which the old churches limestone has been found.

The monument having been completed, the remains of King James and his Queen Avere carefully deposited in a sarcophagus, and the mason work of the tomb finished on Saturday the 23d of September I860. It is of fine freestone, four and a half feet in height, eight feet in length, four and a half feet in breadth at the base, and three feet at the top. On the south side is the following inscription : IX THIS PLACE, NEAR TO THE HIGH ALTAR OF THE ABBEY OF CAMBUSKEXNETH, WERE DEPOSITED THE REMAINS OF JAMES THE THIRD, KINO OF SCOTS, WHO DIED ON THE llTH OF JUNE 1488, AND OF HIS QUEEX, THE PRINCESS MARGARET OF DENMARK.

On the west end are the Royal Arms of Scotland impaled with those of Denmark, surmounted by a croAvn, and surrounded by a wreath of thistles. On the top there is carved an antique cross. A drawing of the monument is here given. ^ Although King James the Fourth's intention of being buried in the Abbey was frustrated as already explained, it is probable that the costly sepulture prepared for him was used for his second and posthumous son, Alexander Duke of Ross. This son, who was born on the 30th of April 1514, some months after his fathers death at Flodden, died suddenly at Stirling Castle on the 18th of December 1515, and, according to a MS. copied at the end of the Transcript of the Register of Cambuskenneth by Macfarlane, was buried in the Abbey Church. In that MS. he is called " Alexander Duke of Rothesay" (a mistake for Ross), " brother to James the Fifth, a child beautiful to admiration, and delightful, died at Stirling, and was buried in the Abbey Church of Cambuskenneth, 1515." It has been supposed that Prince James, the eldest son of King James the Fourth, who was born at Holyrood-house on 21st February 1506-7, and who died at Stirling on 27th Febmary 1507-8, was also » In the Proceedings of the Society of Anti- Queen Victoria ; but by a mistake the an- quaries of Scotland, vol. vi.

There is no record that such was the fact, but it is probable that the remains of the infant prince were laid beside those of his grandfather and grandmother in the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, and in the lair which his father was then preparin for himself. In the same MS. it is said that " George, second Earle of Huntley, died at Stirling the 9th of June anno 1581 [? 1501], and was buried at Cambuskenneth." This agrees with the statement of the historian of the family, that the Earl died at Stirling on 8th June 1501, and was buried at Cambuskenneth. His connexion with the royal family by his marriage with the Princess AnnabeUa, daughter of King James the First, would account for his being interred in the royal tomb. The Earl at the time of his death held the office of Lord High Chancellor of Scotland. A tradition, recorded by Sir James Alexander, states that Perkin Warbeck, the pretended Duke of York, who, in 1496, by command of King James the Fourth, married Lady Catherine Gordon, eldest daughter of the Earl of Huntly just mentioned, was buried at Cam- buskenneth. Sir James adds, that Warbeck after his departure was not murdered by steel or poison at Pontefract Castle, but made his escape from it, and wandered to the Hebrides, where he was entertained by Macdonald, Lord of the Isles. From thence he was transferred to Stirling Castle, where he died after a residence of eighteen years. But for these statements he gives no authority.

The noble house of Erskine, who were early benefactors to Cambuskenneth, had their burying-place in the Abbey at one time, as appeai-s from the will and testament of John Earl of ]\Iar, Lord Erskine, Regent of Scotland, in which he commends his soul to the mercy of God, assured of his redemption and salvation through Jesus Christ, and his body to be buried at the pleasure of God as becomes a Christian, in the kirk of Alloa, where he ordained an honourable sepulture to be made, "and the relicts of my foirbears that are in the Abbay of Caml^uskynnyth to be transportit thair."^ The west end of the site of the nave of the Abbey of Cambus- kenneth has long been used as a graveyard l)y the inhabitants in the village of Cambuskenneth and the neighbourhood. The entry to it is by the arch of the original west door of the Abbey, part of which is still entire. An engraving of the arch forms part of the title-page of the present volume. With the exception of this arch, and the gi'aceful tower, no part of the buildings of Cambuskenneth remains standing. That these were extensive, has been ascertained from careful excavations executed a few years ago by Mr. IMackison, then Superintendent of AVorks at Stirling, by whom a plan of the foundations was made, of which a copy is here given. In the course of his researches many carved 1 Old copy of Will and Testament in the Mar Charter- chest at Alloa. The will was dated at Stirling, 9th August 15G8.
