Scottish History Society books online

16/11/2016

5 Comments

 
We've written before about the National Library of Scotland's (NLS) massive ongoing digitisation project - the NLS plans to digitise literally millions of items from their collection, and make them available online for free. Well as part of that project, earlier this week they launched their digital versions of the publications of the Scottish History Society. This is great news, unless, like me, you have most of these in the original print form, in which case your book collection has just gone down in value!

The Scottish History Society (SHS) was founded in 1886 with the aim of publishing original sources of Scottish history. It forms part of a rich tradition of publishing clubs in Scotland (and we will be writing about some of the others in another post in the near future), and has become one of the longest-running and most successful of them. Over the last 130 years, the SHS has published over 170 books, covering a very wide range of historical topics. The NLS has now put the complete run on its website. We've added a list of all of the titles available from the SHS below, but we thought we'd highlight some of our favourites.

Arthur Mitchell's monumental work "Contribution to the bibliography of Scottish topography" is a superb reference work. It was published in two volumes: the first is arranged geographically (by county, then by parish), while the second is arranged by subject area. The books list many thousands of articles, books, pamphlets and chapters, and is indispensable for local historians, and extremely useful for family historians as well. Our copy was so heavily used I had to send it to my bookbinder for repairs!

There are two particularly useful titles for those interested in Jacobite history: List of persons concerned in the rebellion, published in 1890, and Prisoners of the '45, published in three volumes in 1928-1929, edited by Sir Bruce Gordon Seton and Jean Gordon Arnot. While certainly not comprehensive, and in many ways superseded by more recent research, they are both very useful starting points.

An intriguing, explicitly genealogical title, albeit one that is not always entirely reliable, is Genealogical collections concerning families in Scotland, made by Walter Macfarlane, 1750-1751. Families covered by this volume include Balfour, Bethune, Munro, Moncrief, Morton of Cambo, Kinnaird of that Ilk and Inchture, Mackenzie, Grant, Maclean, Mackintosh, Leslie, Bisset, Fraser of Lovat, Oliphant, Maule, Lawmond [Lamond], Carnegy, Martine, Schevez, Forbes, Strang, Knox, Spang, Douglas, Robertson of Strowan, Fraser of Dores, Fullarton, Urquhart, Gordon, Rose of Kilravock, Stirling and Kinninmond of that Ilk. As ever with printed genealogies, any information should be treated with a great deal of caution.

As graduates of the University of St Andrews, we are both interested in the history of Scotland's oldest university, and of the town. There are no fewer than three relevant titles in this collection: Rentale Sancti Andree, being the chamberlain and granitar accounts of the archbishopric in the time of Cardinal Betoun, 1538-1546, Early records of the University of St. Andrews The graduation roll, 1413 to 1579, and the matriculation roll, 1473 to 1579, and â€‹Acta Facultatis Artium Universitatis Sanctiandree, 1413-1588. The first of these is a very useful source for 16th century Fife, while the latter two are among the earliest surviving education records in Scotland.

Another source for sixteenth-century Fife is the Sheriff Court Book of Fife, 1515-1522. This excellent volume includes a full index of people and places. It's worth noting that much of Kinross was at this time under the jurisdiction of the Sheriff of Fife.

There are a number of other early books of court records from around Scotland:
  • Court book of the Barony of Urie in Kincardineshire, 1604-1747
  • Records of the Proceedings of the Justiciary Court Edinburgh, 1661-1678
  • Records of the Baron court of Stitchill 1655-1807
  • Minutes of the justices of the peace for Lanarkshire, 1707-1723
  • Court book of the Barony of Carnwath, 1523-1542
  • Court book of the Burgh of Kirkintilloch 1658-1694
  • Court books of Orkney and Shetland 1614-1615
These are interesting not just for their geographical range, but also for the different types of court they cover. Each volume includes a detailed index, which is obviously very useful.

There are transcriptions and extracts from early church records in Scotland:
  • Records of the Presbyteries of Inverness and Dingwall, 1643-1688
  • Rentale Dunkeldense, Being accounts of the bishopric, A.D. 1505-1517, with Mylin's 'Lives of the Bishops', A.D. 1483-1517
  • Stirling Presbytery records 1581-1587
  • Perth Kirk Session books, 1577-1590
  • Register of the minister, elders and deacons of the Christian congregation of St. Andrews comprising the proceedings of the Kirk Session and of the Court of the Superintendent of Fife Fothrik and Strathearn, 1559-1600
  • Minutes of the Synod of Argyll, 1639-1651 (1652-1661)
Another group of early church records concern Scotland's relations with the Catholic Church and the Vatican. These include some of the earliest surviving references to one of my own families (Carstairs of Fife):
  • Calendar of Scottish supplications to Rome, 1428-1432
  • Calendar of Papal letters to Scotland of Clement VII of Avignon, 1378-1394
  • Calendar of Papal letters to Scotland of Benedict XIII of Avignon, 1394-1419
  • Calendar of Scottish supplications to Rome, 1418-1422 (and 1423-1438)
There are a number of volumes relating to estates, including estate surveys:
  • Survey of Lochtayside, 1769 Made by John Farquharson and John McArthur
  • John Home's survey of Assynt
  • Argyll Estate instructions: Mull, Morvern, Tiree 1771-1805
Several other collections of local records are worth mentioning:
  • Ayr Burgh accounts, 1534-1624
  • Early records of the Burgh of Aberdeen 1317, 1398-1407
  • Aberdeen Guild Court records 1437-1468
  • Selections from the records of the regality of Melrose, 1605-1661 (1662-1676, 1547-1706)
  • Records of the Earldom of Orkney, 1299-1614
Scotland has a long tradition of links to Poland, stretching back hundreds of years. As well as trade, many thousands of Scots settled, particularly in northern Poland. In more recent times, tens of thousands of Poles have moved to Scotland (and indeed I myself lived in southern Poland for a while in the early 1990s). In that context, Papers relating to the Scots in Poland 1576-1793 is a very useful starting point. Research in this area continues to the present day by among others Dr David Worthington of the University of the Highlands and Islands.

The final volume I want to mention is an unusual one. Alexander Webster was a Church of Scotland, born in Edinburgh, although his father was a Covenanting minister from Fife. In 1742, he proposed a pensions scheme for widows of Church of Scotland ministers which, with some adaptations, was eventually adopted, and was one of the pioneering works in actuarial studies. His work drew the attention of the government, which in 1755 commissioned him to produce data for the first population census of Scotland. Unlike later censuses, Webster's work did not include names, but was just a count of the population in each parish. It includes the number of Catholics, the number of Protestants, and the number of "fighting men" in each parish. Webster's work is reproduced, together with population counts for subsequent censuses, in Scottish population statistics. Although not very useful for genealogists, it does provide the earliest population count for most of the parishes in Scotland, and is therefore very useful for historical demographers.

It's a very uncommon surname in Scotland. There were a few Hogshead couples in Edinburgh/Leith in the late 17th/early 18th century, probably a single family:
Richard Hogshead/Agnes Smyth
James Hogshead/Helen Arnot
James Hogshead/Margaret Fairbairn
James Hogshead/Margaret Galloway

There are also two isolated Hogshead births in Ayrshire in 1755 and 1770.

There may be others - I haven't looked for spelling variants - could it perhaps be a variant of Hog(s)he(a)rd?

I too am from the same family, on my mother's side, but rendered as Hogsett. We are descended from the John Hogshead who immigrated to America in 1758. I am pretty sure that it's an irregularity in Scotland, based on my research. The oldest record I can find is a James Hogshead in 1640, married to a Helen Arnot. They lived in Orkney, which is in northern Scotland. Historically, this region has been influenced heavily by Scandinavian culture, specifically Norwegians, as it was under Norwegian rule from 875-1468. It is my personal belief that this surname is not Scottish at all, due to the rarity of it in the mainland, but Norwegian in origin, later anglicized as "Hogshead", "Hogsheard", "Hogshed", and "Hogsett". The most plausible origin I can find is Old Norse "heggsetr", from "heggr" (bird cherry) and "setr" (settlement). The name still exists in modern Norway as "Høgset". I hope I helped, and if I'm wrong at all, let me know.

My maternal family line name is Hogsed (variously spelled Hogshead, Hogsette, Hoxit over the generations, and sometimes changing from one census to the next). I've traced my family back to Orkney as well, as far back as Richard Hogshead born around 1620. Hogshead/Hogsed/Hoxit/Hogsette is a derivative of the Norwegian name Høgset, from Old Norse Heggsetr, a compound of heggr ‘bird cherry (tree)’ + setr ‘farmstead’, ‘dwelling’.
