| [Glamis continued] | [continued from page 1] Glaumas, Glaumes (1363); Glamuyss, Glaumys, Glaumyss (1373). - See Glamis; its history & Antiquities by Andrew Jervise, Cor. Mem. S.A. Scot. [Corresponding Member of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland] Since the latter date, Glammis, Glammiss & Glamis seem to have been arbitrary with all writers either of its ecclesiastical history or in any account to be got of the civil & territorial condition of the locality in which it is situated. The principal Proprietor in the parish, The Right Hon. [Honourable] The Earl of Strathmore, whose residence, Glamis Castle, is situated about the centre of the parish, taking these conflicting modes of spelling into his consideration a few years ago, decreed that henceforth "Glamis" would be the spelling adopted & preferred in all territorial documents pertaining to his extensive possessions in the district as well as those applying to Glamis Castle. To carry this into public practice he at the same time used his influence with other local authorities for the same object. So that at this time "Glamis" is the mode adopted by all while all other forms are considered as obsolete. |
