It t s hoped that this small booklet w111 be the f1rst of a few issues covering the pe r t od from 1803 onwards 1803 because that is the earliest year of a newspaper held 1n the Dundee Local H1story Library It w1ll be a m1~cellany of events and the people involved in them 1n all walks of life as far as was reported 1n the Dundee Perth amp Cupar Advert1ser

By report1ng some of the events of nett cne tepo r t enc e we hope to e~tab11sh this exciting era of revolut10n and change in our readers ~inds

as a background aga1nst which the events are repcr t ec WIj hope 1t g1ves an t nst qht into the l t ve s of the tnb aot t e nt s of the Tay Valley and sur round tnqs and v t th luck helps members in t ne t r search for ancestors and relations The language used then has also been re te tncd rea tn t scent 1n places of that used 1n Jane Austen1s romance~ of the period

There are a few notes ~cattered throughout gtv1ng some details of the persooa11t1es where these are known They are not and are not intended to be comprehensive but merely to st1mulate readers interest Full details of the personal1t1es can usually be found In books 1n the Central L1brary such as Dundee Celebrities

The dates in the deta1ls of Sequestrat10ns have been carefully copied becaUse some people may w1sh to follow up the details 1n Register House 1n Edinburgh Details of sales of land also could be followed up 10 Register House by consulting the Reg1ster of Sasine

Unfortunately not all the newspapers from 1803 have survived I had hoped to extract details of the Battle of Trafalgar the casualty l1sts and Nelsons funeral but I am sorry to say that one of the gaps ts in 1605 and covers the relevant period

It t s hoped that this small booklet w111 be the f1rst of a few issues covering the pe r t od from 1803 onwards 1803 because that is the earliest year of a newspaper held 1n the Dundee Local H1story Library It w1ll be a m1~cellany of events and the people involved in them 1n all walks of life as far as was reported 1n the Dundee Perth amp Cupar Advert1ser

By report1ng some of the events of nett cne tepo r t enc e we hope to e~tab11sh this exciting era of revolut10n and change in our readers ~inds

as a background aga1nst which the events are repcr t ec WIj hope 1t g1ves an t nst qht into the l t ve s of the tnb aot t e nt s of the Tay Valley and sur round tnqs and v t th luck helps members in t ne t r search for ancestors and relations The language used then has also been re te tncd rea tn t scent 1n places of that used 1n Jane Austen1s romance~ of the period

There are a few notes ~cattered throughout gtv1ng some details of the persooa11t1es where these are known They are not and are not intended to be comprehensive but merely to st1mulate readers interest Full details of the personal1t1es can usually be found In books 1n the Central L1brary such as Dundee Celebrities

The dates in the deta1ls of Sequestrat10ns have been carefully copied becaUse some people may w1sh to follow up the details 1n Register House 1n Edinburgh Details of sales of land also could be followed up 10 Register House by consulting the Reg1ster of Sasine

Unfortunately not all the newspapers from 1803 have survived I had hoped to extract details of the Battle of Trafalgar the casualty l1sts and Nelsons funeral but I am sorry to say that one of the gaps ts in 1605 and covers the relevant period

It t s hoped that this small booklet w111 be the f1rst of a few issues covering the pe r t od from 1803 onwards 1803 because that is the earliest year of a newspaper held 1n the Dundee Local H1story Library It w1ll be a m1~cellany of events and the people involved in them 1n all walks of life as far as was reported 1n the Dundee Perth amp Cupar Advert1ser

By report1ng some of the events of nett cne tepo r t enc e we hope to e~tab11sh this exciting era of revolut10n and change in our readers ~inds

as a background aga1nst which the events are repcr t ec WIj hope 1t g1ves an t nst qht into the l t ve s of the tnb aot t e nt s of the Tay Valley and sur round tnqs and v t th luck helps members in t ne t r search for ancestors and relations The language used then has also been re te tncd rea tn t scent 1n places of that used 1n Jane Austen1s romance~ of the period

There are a few notes ~cattered throughout gtv1ng some details of the persooa11t1es where these are known They are not and are not intended to be comprehensive but merely to st1mulate readers interest Full details of the personal1t1es can usually be found In books 1n the Central L1brary such as Dundee Celebrities

Unfortunately not all the newspapers from 1803 have survived I had hoped to extract details of the Battle of Trafalgar the casualty l1sts and Nelsons funeral but I am sorry to say that one of the gaps ts in 1605 and covers the relevant period

Relations between the QUBen and the Town were not e l e eys cordial however In 1~65 the Provost J ames Hil11 bu r-ton supported the r-ebe111011 of the Ea rl of Moray For this Mary dep r t ved h1m of the office of Provost The rebellion petered out however and Hel tbu r-ton was soon back 111 favour

D~sp1te th1s Mary gave two great gifts to the Town In 1564 she granted the grounds previously occupIed by the Grey Er t er-s to the Town for use as a bury1ng ground Th1s was done because the b u r t el placethen being used was in the centre of the town end was over-crowded and a danger to health The new ground - now known as the gtJowff - was then at the edge of the Town Then in 1567 she granted all the property that had belonged to the monastIc orders 1n Dundee to the Town The money drawn from these lands WilS to p r-o v t d e for the mt n t s te r s of Gods word e no for bo s p t t e t s to be kept for poor maimed and miserable persons and orphans From that time the money has been used for the paymef1t of the m~n~stersl stipends and for the poor For both these gifts the citizens of Dundee have cause to be grateful to ary

It t s hoped that this small booklet w111 be the f1rst of a few issues covering the pe r t od from 1803 onwards 1803 because that is the earliest year of a newspaper held 1n the Dundee Local H1story Library It w1ll be a m1~cellany of events and the people involved in them 1n all walks of life as far as was reported 1n the Dundee Perth amp Cupar Advert1ser

By report1ng some of the events of nett cne tepo r t enc e we hope to e~tab11sh this exciting era of revolut10n and change in our readers ~inds

as a background aga1nst which the events are repcr t ec WIj hope 1t g1ves an t nst qht into the l t ve s of the tnb aot t e nt s of the Tay Valley and sur round tnqs and v t th luck helps members in t ne t r search for ancestors and relations The language used then has also been re te tncd rea tn t scent 1n places of that used 1n Jane Austen1s romance~ of the period

There are a few notes ~cattered throughout gtv1ng some details of the persooa11t1es where these are known They are not and are not intended to be comprehensive but merely to st1mulate readers interest Full details of the personal1t1es can usually be found In books 1n the Central L1brary such as Dundee Celebrities

The dates in the deta1ls of Sequestrat10ns have been carefully copied becaUse some people may w1sh to follow up the details 1n Register House 1n Edinburgh Details of sales of land also could be followed up 10 Register House by consulting the Reg1ster of Sasine

Unfortunately not all the newspapers from 1803 have survived I had hoped to extract details of the Battle of Trafalgar the casualty l1sts and Nelsons funeral but I am sorry to say that one of the gaps ts in 1605 and covers the relevant period

Relations between the QUBen and the Town were not e l e eys cordial however In 1~65 the Provost J ames Hil11 bu r-ton supported the r-ebe111011 of the Ea rl of Moray For this Mary dep r t ved h1m of the office of Provost The rebellion petered out however and Hel tbu r-ton was soon back 111 favour

D~sp1te th1s Mary gave two great gifts to the Town In 1564 she granted the grounds previously occupIed by the Grey Er t er-s to the Town for use as a bury1ng ground Th1s was done because the b u r t el placethen being used was in the centre of the town end was over-crowded and a danger to health The new ground - now known as the gtJowff - was then at the edge of the Town Then in 1567 she granted all the property that had belonged to the monastIc orders 1n Dundee to the Town The money drawn from these lands WilS to p r-o v t d e for the mt n t s te r s of Gods word e no for bo s p t t e t s to be kept for poor maimed and miserable persons and orphans From that time the money has been used for the paymef1t of the m~n~stersl stipends and for the poor For both these gifts the citizens of Dundee have cause to be grateful to ary

Dundee has a l weys been one of the most 1mporttlnt towns In Scotland This was c er-tetnl y recognised by probably the most famous of Scottish monarchs - Maf) ceeen of Scat-so She made frequent visits to Dundee the first being only 6 month e f t er- her e r r l ve l 111 Sco t l enc in 1561 It t s c l ee r from the Town Treasurers eccounts that she was lavishly er-ter-te tned

Relations between the QUBen and the Town were not e l e eys cordial however In 1~65 the Provost J ames Hil11 bu r-ton supported the r-ebe111011 of the Ea rl of Moray For this Mary dep r t ved h1m of the office of Provost The rebellion petered out however and Hel tbu r-ton was soon back 111 favour

D~sp1te th1s Mary gave two great gifts to the Town In 1564 she granted the grounds previously occupIed by the Grey Er t er-s to the Town for use as a bury1ng ground Th1s was done because the b u r t el placethen being used was in the centre of the town end was over-crowded and a danger to health The new ground - now known as the gtJowff - was then at the edge of the Town Then in 1567 she granted all the property that had belonged to the monastIc orders 1n Dundee to the Town The money drawn from these lands WilS to p r-o v t d e for the mt n t s te r s of Gods word e no for bo s p t t e t s to be kept for poor maimed and miserable persons and orphans From that time the money has been used for the paymef1t of the m~n~stersl stipends and for the poor For both these gifts the citizens of Dundee have cause to be grateful to ary

OlJEEN NARY _ IJlJII)EE

Dundee has a l weys been one of the most 1mporttlnt towns In Scotland This was c er-tetnl y recognised by probably the most famous of Scottish monarchs - Maf) ceeen of Scat-so She made frequent visits to Dundee the first being only 6 month e f t er- her e r r l ve l 111 Sco t l enc in 1561 It t s c l ee r from the Town Treasurers eccounts that she was lavishly er-ter-te tned

Relations between the QUBen and the Town were not e l e eys cordial however In 1~65 the Provost J ames Hil11 bu r-ton supported the r-ebe111011 of the Ea rl of Moray For this Mary dep r t ved h1m of the office of Provost The rebellion petered out however and Hel tbu r-ton was soon back 111 favour

D~sp1te th1s Mary gave two great gifts to the Town In 1564 she granted the grounds previously occupIed by the Grey Er t er-s to the Town for use as a bury1ng ground Th1s was done because the b u r t el placethen being used was in the centre of the town end was over-crowded and a danger to health The new ground - now known as the gtJowff - was then at the edge of the Town Then in 1567 she granted all the property that had belonged to the monastIc orders 1n Dundee to the Town The money drawn from these lands WilS to p r-o v t d e for the mt n t s te r s of Gods word e no for bo s p t t e t s to be kept for poor maimed and miserable persons and orphans From that time the money has been used for the paymef1t of the m~n~stersl stipends and for the poor For both these gifts the citizens of Dundee have cause to be grateful to ary

Relations between the QUBen and the Town were not e l e eys cordial however In 1~65 the Provost J ames Hil11 bu r-ton supported the r-ebe111011 of the Ea rl of Moray For this Mary dep r t ved h1m of the office of Provost The rebellion petered out however and Hel tbu r-ton was soon back 111 favour

D~sp1te th1s Mary gave two great gifts to the Town In 1564 she granted the grounds previously occupIed by the Grey Er t er-s to the Town for use as a bury1ng ground Th1s was done because the b u r t el placethen being used was in the centre of the town end was over-crowded and a danger to health The new ground - now known as the gtJowff - was then at the edge of the Town Then in 1567 she granted all the property that had belonged to the monastIc orders 1n Dundee to the Town The money drawn from these lands WilS to p r-o v t d e for the mt n t s te r s of Gods word e no for bo s p t t e t s to be kept for poor maimed and miserable persons and orphans From that time the money has been used for the paymef1t of the m~n~stersl stipends and for the poor For both these gifts the citizens of Dundee have cause to be grateful to ary

Relations between the QUBen and the Town were not e l e eys cordial however In 1~65 the Provost J ames Hil11 bu r-ton supported the r-ebe111011 of the Ea rl of Moray For this Mary dep r t ved h1m of the office of Provost The rebellion petered out however and Hel tbu r-ton was soon back 111 favour

D~sp1te th1s Mary gave two great gifts to the Town In 1564 she granted the grounds previously occupIed by the Grey Er t er-s to the Town for use as a bury1ng ground Th1s was done because the b u r t el placethen being used was in the centre of the town end was over-crowded and a danger to health The new ground - now known as the gtJowff - was then at the edge of the Town Then in 1567 she granted all the property that had belonged to the monastIc orders 1n Dundee to the Town The money drawn from these lands WilS to p r-o v t d e for the mt n t s te r s of Gods word e no for bo s p t t e t s to be kept for poor maimed and miserable persons and orphans From that time the money has been used for the paymef1t of the m~n~stersl stipends and for the poor For both these gifts the citizens of Dundee have cause to be grateful to ary

Relations between the QUBen and the Town were not e l e eys cordial however In 1~65 the Provost J ames Hil11 bu r-ton supported the r-ebe111011 of the Ea rl of Moray For this Mary dep r t ved h1m of the office of Provost The rebellion petered out however and Hel tbu r-ton was soon back 111 favour

D~sp1te th1s Mary gave two great gifts to the Town In 1564 she granted the grounds previously occupIed by the Grey Er t er-s to the Town for use as a bury1ng ground Th1s was done because the b u r t el placethen being used was in the centre of the town end was over-crowded and a danger to health The new ground - now known as the gtJowff - was then at the edge of the Town Then in 1567 she granted all the property that had belonged to the monastIc orders 1n Dundee to the Town The money drawn from these lands WilS to p r-o v t d e for the mt n t s te r s of Gods word e no for bo s p t t e t s to be kept for poor maimed and miserable persons and orphans From that time the money has been used for the paymef1t of the m~n~stersl stipends and for the poor For both these gifts the citizens of Dundee have cause to be grateful to ary

OlJEEN NARY _ IJlJII)EE

Dundee has a l weys been one of the most 1mporttlnt towns In Scotland This was c er-tetnl y recognised by probably the most famous of Scottish monarchs - Maf) ceeen of Scat-so She made frequent visits to Dundee the first being only 6 month e f t er- her e r r l ve l 111 Sco t l enc in 1561 It t s c l ee r from the Town Treasurers eccounts that she was lavishly er-ter-te tned

Relations between the QUBen and the Town were not e l e eys cordial however In 1~65 the Provost J ames Hil11 bu r-ton supported the r-ebe111011 of the Ea rl of Moray For this Mary dep r t ved h1m of the office of Provost The rebellion petered out however and Hel tbu r-ton was soon back 111 favour

D~sp1te th1s Mary gave two great gifts to the Town In 1564 she granted the grounds previously occupIed by the Grey Er t er-s to the Town for use as a bury1ng ground Th1s was done because the b u r t el placethen being used was in the centre of the town end was over-crowded and a danger to health The new ground - now known as the gtJowff - was then at the edge of the Town Then in 1567 she granted all the property that had belonged to the monastIc orders 1n Dundee to the Town The money drawn from these lands WilS to p r-o v t d e for the mt n t s te r s of Gods word e no for bo s p t t e t s to be kept for poor maimed and miserable persons and orphans From that time the money has been used for the paymef1t of the m~n~stersl stipends and for the poor For both these gifts the citizens of Dundee have cause to be grateful to ary
