David Calderwood
David Calderwood (157529 October 1650) was a Scottish minister of religion and historian. Calderwood was banished for his nonconformity. He found a home in the Low Countries, where he wrote his great work, the ''Altare Damascenum'' which was an attack on Anglican episcopacy. He was present at the Glasgow Assembly in 1638, and saw episcopacy and the high church liturgy swept away from the Church of Scotland. He died at Jedburgh, a fugitive from his parish of Pencaitland; and buried in the churchyard of Crailing, where the first years of his ministry were spent. Royal conflict David Calderwood was born at Dalkeith, Midlothian, and educated at the college of Edinburgh. In 1604 he was ordained minister of Crailing in Roxburghshire. It was the time when King James was attempting to introduce prelacy into the Church of Scotland, and Calderwood was one of the sturdiest opponents of the royal scheme. In 1608, when James Law, bishop of Orkney, came to Jedburgh, ordered a presbytery ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Melgund Castle
Melgund Castle, lying around due east of Aberlemno in Angus, Scotland, is a 16th-century L-plan castle which has been partially restored as a private residence. It was designated as a scheduled monument in 1971. History The land was initially held by the Cramonds, but by 1525 it was in the hands of Patrick Annand, whose daughter Janet passed it onto her husband, James Bethune, son of John Bethune, 6th of Balfour, and elder brother of Cardinal David Bethune. James had no children with Janet and, when he died in 1542, the estate was sold to David, who made it one of the many homes for his mistress Marion Ogilvy and their growing family. He started improving the castle and in 1543, he bought timber for the building works from William Mayne, a merchant in St Andrews, and had it shipped to Arbroath. After his assassination in 1546, Melgund passed to his eldest son, David Bethune, who may have made further improvements. It was much later passed on by marriage to the Earls of Min ...

Marion Ogilvy
Marion Ogilvy (c. 1495–1575) was the mistress of Cardinal David Beaton, an advisor of James V of Scotland. Early life Marion Ogilvy was the younger daughter of Sir James Ogilvy of Lintrathen. Sir James, a diplomat, was created Lord Ogilvy of Airlie by James IV of Scotland in 1491. Her mother was Janet Lyle (d. 1525), Airlie's 4th wife, and possibly a daughter of Robert, 2nd Lord Lyle, of Renfrewshire, another of the King's diplomats. As a child she lived at Airlie Castle and her family's lodging in Arbroath. She had an older sister, Janet Ogilvy, and a much older half-brother, John Ogilvy, who became the 2nd Lord Ogilvy. Her father had made only partial provision for her before his death, a marriage contract by which the heir of Gordon of Midmar Castle, Midmar would marry her elder sister Janet or, on her death, Marion. Janet appears to have died young but the contract was not implemented. In 1525 Marion as yet unmarried, served as executrix of her mother's estate. Life with D ...
