On 28th February, 1539, Thomas Forret, the Vicar of Dollar, John Keillor and John Beveridge, two black-friars, Duncan Simpson a priest, and a gentleman named Robert Forrester, were all burned together on the Castle Hill on a charge of heresy.

The persecution of Protestants in Scotland, at least if measured in martyrdoms, peaked in 1539, shortly after Cardinal David Beaton, a zealous opponent of reform, was appointed primate of the country, although from the info I have picked up one John Lauder, would have been the man condemning these men, he was Scotland’s Public Accuser of Heretics at the times. Heretics being anyone who didn’t follow the Catholic faith.

Of the five “heresiarchs” executed in Edinburgh, none had quite so fascinating a tale as Thomas Forret, an Augustinian monk turned Vicar whose passion for Scripture and preaching, coupled with frank observation of the institutional Church’s doctrinal and practical failings, earned him a place at the stake at the crest of the Royal Mile, just east of Edinburgh Castle.

Forret had been warned by the high heid yins about his behaviour on the pulpit a few times, one occasion said his sermons might lead to “make the people thinke” but, a very smart man, he rebuked the accusations of going against the lords work by quoting scriptures and his quick wit. At the time in Scotland the sermons were traditionally performed by “Black Friars” and “Grey Friars” That’s Dominican and Franciscan Monks to you and I!

It would all come undone in 1539 when Forret attended the wedding of the Priest of Tullibody, which attendance, no less than the marriage itself, flouted the Church’s stance position on clerical celibacy. Forret had added insult to injury by eating meat at his fellow curate’s wedding celebration, despite the fact that it was Lent.

So grievous were Forret’s collective crimes that, at his trial, he was condemned to death “without anie place for recantatioun.”

Subsequently brought to the place of his execution, a certain Friar Hardbuckell encouraged him to save his soul by confessing his faith in God. “I beleeve in God,” Forret replied. Hardbuckell then encouraged him to confess his faith in the Virgin Mary by adding the words “and in our Ladie.” Forret answered, “I beleeve as our Ladie beleeveth,” thereby maintaining to the end the perfect and full sufficiency of Christ’s saving work for sinners.

Forret’s wit and knowledge of Scripture stayed with him to his very last breath. Having been preceded to the gallows by one of his fellow martyrs, Forret called the same a “wily fellow” who wished to arrive at the feast awaiting them in heaven before the others in order to secure a good seat. As the noose was placed around his neck, he began to recite Psalm 51 in Latin: Misere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love.” Thus he continued “till they pulled the stoole frome under his feete, and so wirried [hanged], and after burnt him.”

On 18th October, 1963, BBC news reported that a Scottish Earl, Lord Home, had won what it described as 'one of the most bitterly fought leadership contests to become Britain’s Prime Minister'.

There were two immediate challenges for the new PM: he had to convince his disgruntled leadership rivals to fall in line and join the Cabinet to create a functioning government – the other minor inconvenience was that Lord Home needed a Commons constituency and fast. Three weeks later, the former 14th Earl of Home was now Sir Alec Douglas-Home, MP for Kinross and West Perthshire.

The change of leadership was as a result of the resignation of Harold Macmillan. GOV.UK rather poetically explains the reason for Macmillan's sudden departure as ‘due to a prostate condition that was exacerbated by the Profumo Affair’.

The BBC reported;

"…Mr Macmillan's choice of a peer to succeed him as Prime Minister - the first to hold the office since 1895 - is highly controversial, and has been greeted with bewilderment by the supporters of Rab Butler, who was widely believed to have been the Prime Minister's favoured candidate…The press and the opposition have also attacked Lord Home's aristocratic background and perceived lack of a public profile…"

The fracas surrounding the leadership transition, a result of the vague process loosely described in the Conservative Party as ‘informally emerging’, led to party reforms; In 1965, Edward Heath would be the first Tory leader to be elected by ballot.

The Douglas-Home administration lasted just under one year. Labour under Harold Wilson won the 1964 election with a precarious majority of four, but would consolidate its position in 1966.

Sir Alec served as Foreign Secretary during Edward Heath’s single term in government (1970-74). He subsequently went back to the House of Lords by virtue of a Life Peerage, as Lord Home of the Hirsel, where he served until his death in 1995.

Europe’s Last Private Army - the Atholl Highlanders

The Atholl Highlanders are a Scottish ceremonial infantry regiment. They are the only remaining private army in Europe, and act as the personal bodyguard to the Duke of Atholl, chieftain of the Clan Murray, a family that has thrived in Perthshire for some 750 years. Although it has no official military role, this hand-picked body of local men are armed with Lee–Metford rifles, and the regiment includes a pipe band. Joining the Highlanders is by invitation-only from the Duke, who specially selects men with ties to the estate or the local area. The regiment is not part of the British Army but under the command of the Duke of Atholl, and based at Blair Castle, Blair Atholl.

The regiment was raised in Perthshire by John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl as the 77th Regiment of Foot (or Atholl Highlanders, or Murray's Highlanders) in December 1777, for service during the American Revolution. The regiment was formed as a relief for other regiments serving in North America, and spent most of its existence in Ireland. The terms upon which the regiment was raised stated that the men were to be employed for either three years or the duration of the war in America. In 1781, the original three-year term ended, and the men expected the regiment to be disbanded. However, the regiment was transported to England and marched to Portsmouth to be embarked for service in India. Upon learning of this, the men mutinied, and the embarkation orders were countermanded. The regiment was marched to Berwick, where it disbanded in 1783.

More than 50 years later, in 1839, George Murray, 6th Duke of Atholl, as Lord Glenlyon, formed the regiment as a bodyguard which he took to the Eglinton Tournament at Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire. Three years later, in 1842, the regiment escorted Queen Victoria during her tour of Perthshire and, in 1844, when the Queen stayed as a guest of the Duke at Blair Castle, the regiment mounted the guard for the entire duration of her stay. In recognition of the service that the regiment provided during her two visits, the Queen announced that she would present the Atholl Highlanders with colours, thus giving the regiment official status, in perpetuity. The regiment's first stand of colours was presented by Lady Glenlyon in 1845. It received new colours in 1979 from Mrs David Butter, the wife of the Lord Lieutenant of Perth and Kinross. A third stand of colours was presented in 2006 by the Duchess of Atholl.

Under John Stewart-Murray, 7th Duke, the regiment regularly provided guards for royal visitors to Blair Castle (which was a convenient stopping point on the journey to Balmoral). The regiment also attended the Braemar Gathering, while an annual Atholl gathering was held in the first week in September in which the regiment paraded, then participated in various trials of strength and stamina. Following the First World War, parades of the regiment became fewer, although it did provide guards when the Crown Prince of Japan and King Faisal of Iraq visited Blair Castle in 1921 and 1933 respectively.

After many years of inactivity the regiment remained in abeyance until in 1966, when it was reformed by Iain Murray, 10th Duke of Atholl. The 10th Duke made the decision to revive the regiment’s annual parade. To this effect eight local men mostly estate employees and all with previous military service training were invited to join, seven accepted. They paraded on 8 April 1966 at Blair Castle for the first time in 33 years. They marched past the Duke led by two Atholl Highlander pipers. In 1973 the regiment returned to the Braemar Gathering and took part in a march past in front of the Queen and other members of the royal family. The Atholl Gathering was re-introduced at Target Park in June 1984.

It was feared that the regiment would be disbanded following the 10th Duke's death in 1996, until his successor, John Murray, 11th Duke of Atholl, wrote to the estate trustees insisting that he would continue his traditional role. The 11th Duke, although resident in South Africa, visited Blair Atholl almost every year to inspect the regiment's annual parade until his death. The 12th Duke continues this tradition.

The Atholl Highlanders continue with the current Bruce Murray, 12th Duke of Atholl, as their Colonel in Chief.

[ottomanladies]

Another interesting ask. I have read on Lord kinkross"s book that, Padishash"s didnt share his dinner table with anyone except 10 persons. Who they are actually? I read somewhere that Safiye couldnt sit and eat with Murad in spite of being haseki, just because she is not married to him[source is probably "Safiyes Household"] Can you write about this? One more thing am I asking you too much? Am I bothering you? Please take my apology if so!I cant resist me from asking someone too wise on Ottomans

I must be honest with you: I've never read Kinross' books because I didn't read many good things about him.

That said.

It is true that the sultan would not dine with his concubines unless there was a particular degree of affection etc. Dining with his consorts wasn't, in any case, a habit.

The same information [the wedding between Selim II and Nurbanu Sultan] is given by Giovanni Correr in 1578 and Giacomo Soranzo in 1584. They also add that for this reason, Nur Banu could sit and eat in the presence of the sultan, while Safiye could not. — M. Pedani, Safiye's household and Venetian Diplomacy

I cannot read the whole reports because I haven't been to my university since February 2020 so I'm not sure I should comment on them but what strikes me is that they're reports from Murad III's reign. So, who is the sultan in question? Is it Murad III or Selim II? If it's the former well... of course Nurbanu can sit and eat in the sultan's presence, she's his mother and she's the only person in the empire that can do that. If it's the latter the wedded/not wedded reasoning makes sense, I guess.

As I said, I cannot say much more because I don't have the whole reports.

It is worth noting, though, that a century later it was still unusual for a sultan to dine with his consorts. Giacomo Querini, Venetian ambassador at the court of Mehmed IV, says in his 1676 report:

The King loves [Emetullah Râbia Gülnuş] and keeps her in the highest regard, practising with her what the other emperors were not used to do, that is to eat with wife and children...

In 1676 (but of course this happened before because 1676 is just the year the report was read in Venice), Emetullah Râbia Gülnuş's children were still quite young so I guess that's what surprised the ambassador.

As for the people the sultan would actually dine with: they were men, of course, and his favourites. I can think of Murad IV and Evliya Çelebi, for example. Selim II had a favourite with which would sit at his table "two or three days in a row": he was Yasef Nasi, a Portuguese Jewish man who settled in Istanbul and caught Selim's eye.

Yeah, again, I must be honest with you: it is very hard to keep up with your questions. Some require research in several books (because I cannot remember everything) and therefore can't be answered in 10 minutes.

On 28th  February, 1538, Thomas Forret, Vicar of Dollar and several others were hanged and burnt at the stake on Castle Hill Edinburgh for heresy.

Dates and spellings differ on versions of this story
