Now looking through Selkirk Presbytery records (freely available online at ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk). And marvelling at one 1715 spelling of Buccleuch. So much more interesting! #Scots #ScotsLeid #Palaeography #ScottishHistory #ScottishBorders #ChurchCourts #18thCentury #EighteenthCentury #Scotland #History #Handwriting #PlaceNames #DukeOfBuccleuch #Buccleuch

Continuing my browse through Cupar Presbytery records, trying to distract myself from the quite horrific crime recorded in 1745. Pleased to be finding Jacobite references in 1716. Reports of local Fife Jacobites. As well as women scandalously dancing late at night with the "highland men" / "Rebels". #Jacobites #Scotland #Fife #ScottishHistory #History #18thCentury #EighteenthCentury #ChurchOfScotland #ChurchCourts #Crime
