A plan of 1545 for the fortification of Kelso Abbey
It has long been known from surviving correspondence that the Italian gunfounder Archangelo Arcano prepared two drawings illustrating proposals for the fortification of Kelso Abbey, following its capture by the English army under the leadership of the earl of Hertford in 1545. It had been assumed those drawings had been lost. However, one of them has now been identified and is here published, together with a brief discussion of what it can tell u…
Scottish Medieval Parish Churches: The Evidence from the Dioceses of Dunblane and Dunkeld
The great majority of Scottish parish churches owe their present appearance to reconstructions carried out from the later eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. It was the view of the authors of this paper, however, that in many cases those reconstructions had been relatively superficial, and that medieval work might have survived under what could, in some cases, be little more than a modern veneer. To test this view, a survey was carried out of all…
Shop signs in some small towns in northern Portugal
THIS paper describes the frequency of languages other than Portuguese in shop signs located in six towns, all in northwestern Portugal and close to the border with Spain, each ranging in size from a year-round population of 600 to one of 4,400. One of the towns, Fermentelos, lies slightly southeast of Aveiro. The other five – Afife, Arcos de Valdevez, Caminha, Ponte da Barca, and Vila Praia de Ancora – are north of Porto. The most frequently occu…

Reliving Bygone Glories: The Revival of Earlier Architectural Forms in Scottish Late Medieval Church Architecture
For more than a century it has been seen as a possibility that the masons who built Scotland's late medieval churches, and the patrons who commissioned them, drew some of their inspiration from buildings of the 12th and 13th centuries. In this paper an attempt is made to consider if this was indeed the case, to identify what those borrowings may have been, and to distinguish them from ideas that were being drawn from continental Europe in those s…

Robert Reid and the Early Involvement of the State in the Care of Scottish Ecclesiastical Buildings and Sites
As a result of the Act of Annexation of 1587, and the removal of bishops from the Scottish church in 1689, the Crown in Scotland incidentally acquired ownership of a large number of monastic and cathedral churches. By the late eighteenth century, as interest in medieval architecture grew, occasional grants were made towards their maintenance; but between 1827 and 1839, when a Scottish Office of Works was established under the architect Robert Rei…
Dendrochronology, Documents and the Timber Trade: New Evidence for the Building History of Stirling Castle, Scotland
DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL analysis of structural timbers from Stirling Castle has produced exact felling dates for building phases within the Castle complex. This analysis has also provided evidence for the source of the timbers, demonstrating that throughout the 16th century much of the timber was imported from the region of eastern Denmark/southern Sweden. This paper presents a brief building history of the Castle, followed by the dendrochronological…
Excavations at Pluscarden Priory, Moray
This report, prefaced by a brief history of Pluscarden Priory, and by a description of the church, describes excavations on the western side of the Priory. Features investigated include the western end of the nave, a series of burials, a stone-lined pit containing a rich organic deposit, and walls associated with the medieval monastic complex. The excavation was arranged and funded by Historic Scotland

Kebister, Shetland: An armorial stone, and an archdeacon’s teind barn
At Kebister, Shetland, a settlement site spanning from the Neolithic to the 19th century was surveyed and excavated between 1985 and 1987, in advance of oil-related developments. Among the surface mounds visible before excavation, the only clearly delineated feature was a large rectangular structure which proved to be of post-medieval date. In 1986, an elaborately carved armorial stone was discovered, lying face down immediately outside the sole …
The Blackadder Aisle at Glasgow Cathedral: A reconsideration of the architectural evidence for its date
It is argued from analysis of the mouldings and other features that the Blackadder Aisle was built in two stages, separated by at least two centuries. The shell of the lower storey may be the work of the same mason who built the choir in the mid 13th century, while Archbishop Blackadder (1483-1508) merely covered the incomplete shell with its vault, albeit sympathetically blended in

St. Mary at Wiveton in Norfolk, and a Group of Churches Attributed to its Mason
A number of ecclesiastical buildings in Norfolk and northern Suffolk show a common repertoire of distinctively elaborated mouldings, which in several cases involves such precise repetition of formations that the same templates must have been used repeatedly. On the evidence of the mouldings, and of other detailed similarities between the buildings, it is argued that they may all be seen as the work of the same designing mason, and the documentati…
