MARKET CROSS OF EDINBURGH (Transferred 1756) |
|
|
007 |
The cross, moreover, was the chief scene of all the public rejoicings, was honoured with the principal pageants at the entries of sovereigns, and formed the groundwork of a platform, where the magistrates used to drink the King's health on his birthday. Distinguished in all these ways, the centre of business the place where merchants most did congregate it was altogether one of the most interesting objects in Edinburgh. Unfortunately in 1756, when the Royal Exchange was finished,the magistrates conceiving that it could no longer be necessary as a rallying point or rendezvous for commercial people, and thinking moreover, that it encumbered the street caused it to be demolished leaving only a radiated pavement to mark the space of ground which it had occupied. |

It is composed of several stones 20 feet high and 18 inches in diameter, and ornamented with thistles, the ancient badge of Scotland. |

Newton Church (ruins of) Site of Grave Yard About 7/8 mile [seven eighths of a mile] N. [north] of the town of Dalkeith
" The tower of the ancient church of Newton which was situated quite at the extremity of the parish is still entire and has been preserved to form a feature in the landscape as seen from the grounds in Dalkeith park. The church-yard around it, where parties have long since ceased to bury has been badly desecrated by the encroachments of the husbandman and many of the monuments removed to make way for the plough. It is hoped that to preserve what yet remains of the olden time,it may still be surrounded by a fence."

A large modern built edifice which evinces good taste and judgement in its style of architecture and interior arrangements. it is surrounded by about 30 or 40 acres of ornamental ground with a large and finely wooded demesne. it was visited in 1822 by King George 4th, and within the hall a brass plate in the form of a shoe marks the spot on which his Majesty set foot; in the library which is valuable and extensive are several Manuscripts (formerly belonging to the Abbey) of great antiquity written in folio upon Vellum and adorned with pictures emblematic of the subjects of which they treat. The present building is erected upon the spot which was formerly occupied by a Monastery founded and endowed by King David 1st in 1140 any remains of which are entirely concealed by the present building. north west of the Abbey in a small wood is the family burial vault and to which there is said to be a subterranean |

passage from the Abbey on the front of the vault is a stone tablet on which the following is written "Jane, Marchioness of Lothian built this aisle in the Year of our Lord 1705".
"Newbattle Abbey, the seat of the Marquiss of Lothian is a large modern building and the plan of it especially within discovers the taste and judgement
of the architect. In the library there are several Manuscripts in folio written upon Vellum in the Saxon character and every page of them is adorned with pictures emblematic of the respective subjects of which they treat. And in all of them the figures are coloured and gilded with so much delicacy and richness, as to afford a very interesting specimen of the labour and elegance with which they have been executed. These manuscripts had in former times belonged to the Abbey, the monks of which were of the Cistertian Order. It was founded and endowed by David I. A wall surrounded it which is almost entire and retains the name of the Monklands Wall. The modern house is raised upon the spot which was formerly occupied by the Monastery, and stands surrounded by a level lawn con tainting about 30 acres of grounds." Sinclairs Stat. Acct. vol 10 page 216.
David I actuated by similar motives also founded, on the Esk in 1140 a monastery at Newbottle for Cistertian monks, who were brought from Melrose. The place derived its name from the Saxon botle villa domiciiinem. And it was probably called Newbotle by some Saxon settler here in Contradistinction to Eld-botle in East Lothian." Chalmers Caledonia vol II fo.766. |
