Interesting (I hope) for fellow fans of James Stewart of Goodtrees (1635-1713): many of #PrivyCouncil's endmost C18th meetings were held in his lodgings rather than Holyroodhouse. Imo, this speaks to the increasing volume of govt business dumped @ Lord Advocate's door after 1692.

Have said it before, but work I've being doing today has reminded me: the blasphemy trial of Thomas Aikenhead (1696-7) was one of the weirdest Scottish criminal trials in the whole of the early modern period. Bizarre and unprecedented from start to finish.

Scottish 5 Shillings coin of Queen Anne. Dated 1705 and minted in Edinburgh, it’s one of the last Scottish coins ever struck. The final Scottish coins would be issued in 1706. From the Hunter Collection @hunterian #Numismatics #ScottishHistory #Royal #Stuarts #History #Museums

Sort of have a love-hate thing for these volumes now… but I definitely love them more when I get to work them in person!

Thanks to all the speakers for the papers @ScotCouncil workshop.
The roundtable discussion was thoroughly enjoyable, thanks for putting up with my military history interjections. This is such an important project which is always fascinating to hear about!

Lots of decreets of deprivation of parish ministers by the @ScotCouncil in autumn 1689. Was something going on?
