Plate from the published Cartulary of Cambuskenneth Abbey, a facsimile of the original sixteenth century royal arms of Scotland. Click the image for a link to further information.
One of the highlights of our 2010-11 session was a talk by Professor Richard Oram (Stirling University) about Cambuskenneth Abbey and its lands.
The Abbey was an important local institution from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries - and some of its lands were later taken over by that most crucial of Stirling insitutions, Cowane's Hospital.
The new volume of the Forth Naturalist and Historian (volume 35) has a paper by Prof. Oram, analysing the abbey's land-holdings and other lands, the first modern and detailed study.
The volume also, as previously noted, has a paper on King's Park Football Club, an excellent discussion of the early post-cards of Drymen (by John Mitchell) and a short paper on the early records of the port of Alloa.
Copies of FNH are available via the Smith Museum. Get further information about current and past issues of the journal at http://www.fnh.natsci.stir.ac.uk/journal/index.php
