PREFACE.
The situation of Newbattle Is of that kind wliich the Cistercians most of all affected. The South Esk, escaped from the green hUls of Temple and the woody ravines of Dalhousie, widens its valley a httle to give room for a long range of fair level ' haughs.' At the very head of tliese meadows, and close to the brook, the Abbey stands. Behind, to thi! north, are the remains of the ancient monkish village, onee occupied hy the hinds and shepherds of tlie convent, but separated from the Abbey gardens by a massive stonc wall, ascribed to the time and the personal care of Wilham the Lion,' which still forms the boundary of the park on that side. Across the Uttle river the bank rlses abruptly, broken into fantastlc ravlnes, closely Avooded, which only upon examinatlon are discovered to be the reniains of the ancient coal-worklngs uf the monks, of a pcriod when the operatlon was more a sort of quarrylng than hke modern coal-mlning. The Abbey was not placed to command a prospect. The rlver banks have probably always been covered with a growth of native oak. What was the clothing of the level lawn of old we can only conjecture. As it Is,

situated at the bottom of its narrow valley, close by the brook, hidd ;d among beeches and venerable sycamores, it gives an idea of religious seclusion, such as Saint Bernard sought at Citeaux.'
The Abbey was founded in the year 1140, according to the chronicle-%" or in 1141, as is affirmed in a charter in the foUowing collection,^ 1) the crreat founder of Scotch churches, King David I., for monks of tl^c Cistercian order, brought, it is said, from Mebose.
The first abbot -was Ealph,* apparently the leader of the colony fron^. Mehose. Father Hay, not speaking loosely, after his usual manner, biit evidently fo\mding on some monastic authority which has not becn prf- served to us, narrates the numerous privileges and gifts ^vhich this abbo. obtained for lus convent, and his consecration of a cemetery within tbc precinct of the monastery.* ' The Abbot,* he says, 'was a person of n, beautiful presence. He was continually .occupied in divine meditatiori, for, from his youth he had loved his Creator with all his hcart. It is saio that once, while ho was engaged in prayer in his cell, the devil appeared to him, blacker than pitch.' Abbot Ralph assisted at the settlcment of : controversy concerning the Crag of Trevcrlen, between thc Abbots ul" Holyrood and Kelso, some time before the year 1150.^ In the la-'. vear of the pontificate of Innocent II., he obtained a bull confirming to Neubotle the general Cistercian privilcge of immunity of lands in tlior own occupation from tithes, and ratifying the grants already inade to

the new abbey, especially those of King David aiid his son, Earl Hcnrv.' Of his death we have no record.
AxFRED,* whose name, usiially written Alured, is frequently corrupled into Amfridus, was the second abbot. From the authority used by Father Hay, we learn that he brought into the abbey many rehcs of Saints, which he inclosed in a silver chest. • He adorned the chapter-house with handsome seats, and also erected proper stalls with convenient desks or menohrjies of wood in the cloisters on the side where the 'coUation' or reading of the lives of Saints was held, for the use of tlie brethren during thc reading of collation before coraphne at the washing of feet at Maunday.^ Charters of Richard, Bishop of St Andrews, are witnessed by Geoffry, Abbot of Dun- fermhn ; John, Abbot of Holyroofl ; Eoger. Abbot of Driburg ; with Amfred, Abbot of !N^eubotle, in full synod, in the church of St Cutlibert at Edinburgh.^ This abbot assisted at the synod of the dergy of the diocese in 1173,^ and died on the Idthof the kalends of September 1179.*^

of the year 1180, Hugli, Abbot of Neubotle, was one of AVilliam's court at Haddington, wlien the King ' made peace' between tlie monks of Melrose and the De Morevils, the lords of Lauderdale, concerning their rights in the forest between Gala and Leader." About the year 1190 he was delegated by the Pope, along with John, Bishop of Dunkeld, and Symon, Archdeacon of Glasgow, to decide a controversy that had arisen between the Abbey of Kelso and the Rector of Liliscleue; and, in the year 1193, he acted in the same capacity, along witb the Bishop of Dunkeld, and the Abbot of HohTood, in a dispute bctween the canons of Jedburgh and Adam Fitzgilbert, concerning tlie chapel of Hotun.^ Tlie delegates disposed of both questions in decrees which, for their brevity, are worthy of imitation.^ Abbot Hugh was present at a great asscmbly of the clergy at wliich King '^''illiam assisted in person, when the church of Hassenden was bestowed on Melrose by tbe King and JoceUn Bishop of Glasgow, between whom it liad been in controversy.* In 1195 he negotiated, on behalf of his convent, a convention with Walter, Prior of St Andrews, regarding the tithes of the I^Teubotle lands in the parish of Haddington.' After he had governed the house for twenty-two years, he resigned the office in 1201;'' setting an example which was followed by many of his successors.
Aj>am, master of the lay brethren, Avas next made abbot. He witnessed a cbarter of Seyer de Quinci, Earl of "Wynton, to the monks of Dun- fenulin, of the land of Dunikeir." Adam retired from his dignity in 1213.*

resigned liis abbacy, and retired to his old cloister on the 8th of the kalena,^ of June 121-i.'
EicHARD, the cellarer, siicceeded to Alan, and, like him, retired from the abbacy on the 6th of the kalends of Angust 121G.-
Ad.ui de Harcarres, the cellarer, was placed in the Abbofs chair on the 13th of the kalends of September 1216. He was one of the Cistercian abbots who went to Tor^; to have thc national interdict removed, in 1218. In the following j'''-^, on the 8th of the ides of August, he was elected to the greater tibbacy of Mehros, and died in 1245.^
RicHAnD, the master of the lay brethren, was elected Abbot of Neubotle in 1219, and died on thc nones of April 1220.*
Another Eichakd, who had been prior of the convent, was elected Abbot in his room. He was abbot when the young king, AJexander II., was received in the abbey on the 19th of May 1223,^ His seal, among the Meh-ose charters, is a sraaU oval, having his own figure, with a crozier in his ieft hand, and for legend — sif/illvm abbatis de nevbotle. It is now per- haps impossible to fix which of the three abbots bearing the name of Richard was the party to the very curious compact with the Malhcvbes, lords of Morham, concerning the water-courses for tkeir respectiA^e mills of Morham and Bereford.*
The last Eichard was succeeded by Constantine, in whose time, apparently, was the dedication of the Church pcrformed by Andrew de Moravia, Bishop of Moray, on the 3d of the ides of March 1233." This abbot, hke so many of his predecessors, retired frora the dutios of Iiis ofHce in 1236.*

xviii THE PREFACE.
The next abbot was Roger, previously the cellarer of the Abbey of Mebose. It is noted that, in the incumbency of tliis abbot, Robert de Keldelach, Abbot of DunfermUn, and Chancellor of Scotland, being obliged to rehnquish his office and abbacy for his share in the Duvward plot, retired as a monk into the Abbey of Neubotle in 1252, and there continued tiU 1269, when he was chosen Abbot of Mchros, and ruled that great monastery till his death, wldch took place in 1273, ' non sine magna sanctitatis opinionc.' Abbot Roger of Neubotle as&isted at the conference between Henry III. of England and the young king Alexander III. of Scotland, at Roxburgh, on the 20th September 1255. He attended a chapter of his order held in England, and, on his return towards Scotland. died at the monastery of Vaudey in 1256.'
Welliam, the prior, was chosen abbot in his stead. He became bound to pay a half mark yearly to the nuns of North Berwick, as the rent of the land in Leith and Greenside, the okl gift of the lords of Restabic to the nunnery, now transferred to the convent of Ncubotle.^ He, with consent of his chapter, granted to Adam Hunter the hereditary ofRce of * sergeantcy ' in all oauses touching life and hmb throughout the abbey land of Craufurd.^ WilUam resigned the abbacy in 1259.''
Adam, ceUarer of Mekose, succeeded, being inducted, and perhaps con- secrated, abbot of N^cubotle, on St Yincenfs day, 1 259. He was unani- mously elected to be abbot of his old convent of Melrose, and instaUed there on the day of St Peter ad vincula (August 1), 1261.*
His successor at Iffeubotle was Guido, previously the porter of the abbey, who held the abbacy from 1261 tiU 1269, when he resigned his office.*

Patkick is said to liave been tlie next Abbot, and to have lield the office tiU 1272.'
Waltee is said to have succeeded ; but if this is correct, he must have been Abbot for a very short time.^
"Waldeve, a monk and cellarer of Melros, became Abbot in 1273, or sooner, of whora we only find it recorded in the chronicle of Mchos, that ' Dan Waldeve, of pious memory and holy conversation, Abbot of x^eubotle, going the way of all flesh, with blessed end departed to the Lord, leavino- his house in fuU peace and excellent condition, both in its spiritual and its temporal affau-s, in the third year of his government, on the 3d day of February 1275; whose body was interred with due reverence, as became one hokling the office of Father Abbot, on the eve of Agatha Virgin and Martyr ' — that is, on the day following his death.

Gervase was Abbot of ^ffeubotle in 1312. On the utas of St Lawrence, in
that year, ' Brother Gervase, called Abbot of Neubotle,' with the consent of
his convent and of William, Abbot of Mekos, settled for ever on the infirmary
of the Abbey (Infirmitorium monachormu) an annual rcnt of three marks,
payable by William Byseth out of the lands of Merton, to be expended for
the uses of the sick and the recreation of the feeble.'^ He assisted
at the parliament at Cambuskenneth in 1314, in which all who had tUed
in war against Bruce, and those who, being ahve, had not come to his faith
aud peace, were disinherited and declared enemies of the king and realm.
He was also present in the parliament at Ajt in 1315, where the succes-
sion to the crown was settled on Edward Bruce, and, faUing him, on
Marjory; and was present at a great meeting of churehmen, held at his
own abbey, where the terms of the cxchange of the churches of Ilfenthorn
and Cranston were settled, between the Bishop and WHHam of Alyncrom,
Abbot of Kelso, on the 2d and I9th days of March 1316.' On the 16th
of July 1316, by the mediation of the diocesan, Abbot Gervase settled an
old dispute between his convent and the canons of Holyi-ood, taking the
church and church-land of Bathcat, and the tithes of the land and salt-works
of Prestoi), in Heu of the 65 marks 20 pence of rent due by the canons

as tenants of the Abbey salt-works in tbe carse of Kalentir, Thia exchange gave rise, four years later, to an aiTang*-.uent of the small tithes of Preston with the perj^etual Vicar of Tranent, also concluded by Gervase.^ He con- tinued in the ofRce till 1323, in -which year he witnessed a charter of Sir Simon Locard of Lee granted to William de Lyndesay, a great chmch beneficiary and lord of great temporal possessions.^
WiLLiAM was abbot in the year 1328. On Wednesday after the feast of St Denis and his companions (October 9) 1328, he received a charter of warranty from David de Lyndesay, Lord of Craufurd, the hercditary triend of his house.^ In the following year WiUiam de Malville, Lord of Malville, ratified in his favour a charter of his grandsire Gregory de Malville, A. 1264, granting to the monks of J^eubotle frec passage through his landa of Eetrevin -with their cattle and carriages travelling betwceii the monastery and their Clydesdale lands, with right to unyoke their cattle and pasture them on his lands where needful, saving corn and meadow, The 'reddendo' for this hccnce was a new waggon loaded with timber yearly, namely, such a waggon as the monks built for their own use in Clydesdale.'' On the 30th May 1335, he and the Prior of Holyrood were at York, and had letters of safc conduct on their return to Scotland; and two days

He was to have from the Abbot, by thc hands
of the cellarer, ten shillings yearly ; and was to have no claim against the monks or their meu inhabiting the grange and towii of Prcston, and tbe terrltory of the grange. The monks were to enjoy all the other tithes whether they cul- tivated the said grange witli their own hands or let it to others, namely, the tithe of wool, lambs, cows, calves, colts, pigs, geese, hens, and of all other goods, movcable and immove- able, and all other tithes, real and mixed.

later, both had letters of protection from Edward III. for their convents.' WilHam was stiH Abbot of Neubotle on the Sunday next before tlie feast of the nativity of the blessed Virgin, in the year 1344.^
lu the year 1345, Pope Clement VI. issued a commission for ascertaining and vindicating the privileges of the Cluniac monks, intrusted, in Scotland, to the abbots for the time, of Dunfermlin, Cupar, and Neubotle. TJnder that commission there 'were various proceedings had by the Chiniac house of Paisley, which bring us acquainted with the names of three, apparently, succcssive abbots of Neubotle.
On the 27th iSTovember 1351, Andkew, Abbot of Neubotle, was acting as Papal Judex and conservator under that commission.* On the 14th September (the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross) of that year, Abbot Andrew granted in feu ferm to Simon de Dayntre the tenement in Leith, held of the nuns of North Berwick.*
WiLLLAJvi was Abbot of Keubotle, and acting in the same capacity in the affairs of Paisley on 30th May 1362.'*
HuGH, Abbot of Neubotle, was discharging the same duties on the 20th day of August 1367.* His seal — a sraall oval, giving only a crozier under a niche — is affixed, among those of the other peers and prelates, to the par- liamentary recognition of the right of John Earl of Carric to succeed to his father's crown, a. 1371. Hugh, Abbot of N^ewbotle, appends his seal to a charter of Thomas de Tripnay, granting to Alan de Lauedre the lands of le Plate, Westhall, and ]!^orthraw, in the baroiiy of Eathow, A. 1379:' and to a charter of ' Thomas Trypnay dominus de la Scotyston,' granted to Alexander de Ramyssay of Dalwolsy, making him baiUie of all his lands within the kingdom of Scotland, dated March 31,

The few who remained in the abbey having scarce sufBcient food, vrere compelled, by great distress, to sell twenty-nine excellent chalices,* nine crosses of exqui- site workmanship, and other sacred ornaments, with their sUver household plate. At that time, the greater parfc of the abbey tower was ruined by the falhng of the cross.^ Then, too, tlie ancient disciphne of the order, through the injury of wars and the decay of rents, began to decline, and an entrance was afforded for women at the side of the choir and the high altar.^ But a few years before, I find, from the book of receipts and expenses, the annual income of the monastery could maintain eighty monlcs and seventy lay bretliren, with the corresponding estabhslmient.''*

JoHN was the name of the Abbot of Xeubotle on lOth December 1540.' Jaimes Hasmall was abbot on 13th March 1542. He was one of the royal commlssioners to parliament in 1544 ; witnessed the destructlon of his monastcry by the troops of the Earl of Hertford;* and was still abbot and attending his duty in parliament on April 12, 1554,*
The next abbot was Mark: Ker, the second son of Sir Andrew Ker of Oesford. The date of his election is nofc accurately ascertained. On the 22d of May 1555, bcing indicted in the High Court of Justiciary for hurt- ing and wounding several of the French troops then serving in Scotland, in some affiray which had taken place at Jfenbotle in April preceding, Master Mark Ker appeared in person, ' and desired to be repledged as he that was ane kirkman, to his Juge ordinare.' Then ensued a curious dispute betwcen the ofRcials of Glasgow and St Andrews, each elaiming jurisdiction in the case. The right of Glasgow secms to have rested only on Ker holding benefices in that diocese. Tbe accused plainly preferred the Archbishop of St Andrews for his judge; perha])s expccting that Hamil- tou would look more leniently upon ]iis violonce committed against French troops than the zealous Eeaton. Mr James Balfoure, afterwards well known as Sir James Balfoure, then officlal of the archdeaconry of Lothian, claimed the accused ro hls court, ' be resoun he hes producit ane testimonial of his order of crownebennet berand that he was scolarc in the dyocy of Sanctandrois, and als allegit that he was born within the said dyocy in the castell of Edinburgh, and maid residence continwallie within the samin dyocy, viz., within the place and toun of Neubotil or Edinburgh; and als that the allegit cryme he wes to be accusit of wes coramittit within the said dyocy of Sanctandrois.'

' Mark Kar ' is found among the lords and barons who subscribed the •' coritract to defend the hberty of the evangell of Christ ' at Edinburgh on the 27th day of April 1560. He is styled 'Commendator of Ifeubotle' in the roll of the members of the parhament on Ist August 1560, who ratified and approved the Confession of Faith.^ In 1563, he was one of the Lords for administering the Act of ObUvion.' He was named second in the commission appointed by parHa- ment in 1567 to consider what points 'should appci-tain to the jurisdictlon, privilege, and authority of the kirk.' In 1571 he was chosen to be of the king's priry council; in 1574 appointed by the Estates one of a commis- sion for ' putting in form the ecclesiastical policy and order of the govern- Ing of the kirk as they shall find most agreeable to the truth of God's word, and most convenient for the estate and people of this realm.' In 1578 he was one of the commissloners named to report upon the 'buik of the pohcie of the ku"k;' in 1581, one of those for ordering stipends for the reforraed clergy; for reducing hospltals, maisondieus, and ahnshouses to the order of their first foundation, according to the mind and intentlon of their godlie foundators.''

A few have been derived from other sources, and, in particular, several of much interest are printed from the collections of W. E. Aytoun, Esq. Where one of these extant charters was found to have been entered in the Register, it has been printed in its place in the body of the work, but adopting in all cases the precise readings of the original charter. The char- ters in the course of the work so printed from originals are each distin- guished with an asterisk, on the margin, and are also noted in the prefixed Tahula. It wiU be found that, though the registered copy generally gives the operative words with great correctness, several omissions in it, especially of the names of witnesses, are supphed by printing from the charters them- selves; and inaccuracies of spelhng are corrected.^

third of rcligious benefices to the maintcaancp oi the reformed clergy and the general purposes of the state, serve in some degree to show the posses- sions and rents of the house at the period of the Reformation, and for a considerable time afterwards. They hayo an additional interest, in showing the number of tenants, and the mode of occupation of some, at least, of the Abbey estates.
Though Neubotle was not one of the most richly endowed monasteries of Scotland, the Abbey possessed gi-eat estates in six counties, Edinburgh, Haddiugton, Linlithgow, Lanark, Peebles, and Stirling. To trace these pos- sessions from the original grants, or to continue their liistory fromthe Abbey to the modern holders, however interesting, is beyond the scope of a preface. Scarcely a charter of this volume but gives us early infor- U)ation, often the earhest, of the district to which it refers; scarcely one wliich docs not suggest matters very interesting to the local. antiquary, affording hght, or requiring illustration. But sucli pleasant occupation must be left to the topograplier of the district, who caji, by the help of these documents, follow an ancient boundary through the changes of some centurles, discover the strcngth of the old Korman baron, or his chapel of forgotten reverence, among com fields and mountain pastures, and trace the settlement and civihzation of his country by marks that cannot deceive, though they uave been overlooked.
A. few circumstances connected with these records of a more genera! in- terest are all that can be here adverted to.
The monks of l^eubotle wcre probably the first workers of ooal in ScotJand. Their own house is only divided by its little atream from a bank where coal was found so near the surfacc, and on such a dechvity, as to be easily wrought without mining or expensive operations for carrying off the water. Of the period when that bank of coal was worked and exhausted we find no record. But the charters of another property of the monastery seem to throw light upon this point. The first charter of the lands of Prestongrange to

the Abbey is by Eobert de Quinci, before the year 1189.' He grants the grange of Preston, of the territory of Tranent, by these boundaries : •' As the burn of Whytrig falls into the sea, on the east, to the marches of the Abbot of Dunfermhng's lands of Inveresch and Ponttekyn (^Pinkie), namely, as the rivulet runs from Fauside to the sea, and as I, in presence of good men, perambulated the march between my own mains and Mcduflat, and cast ditches for a memorial.' Along with valuable rights of pasture on the common of Tranent, and six acres of meadow in his meadow of Tranent, he granted to them twenty loads of peats from his own peatar}', and fewei for the grange where the other men of the ' town ' take their fewel. It seems clear that the fewel here meant is the peat and wood, or ' brush,' at that time used for all purposes of fire, and especially used to a oreat extent for the operation of salt-making in the immediate neighbour- hood of the lands bestowed on the Abbey of ITeubotle. About ten years later, Seyer de Quinci, Earl of Winchester, the son of Robert, confirmed the grant of his father, without alteration; and the chartulary scribe notes that hc gave four charters all in similar terms, differing only in their seals.* But in a very short time afterwards, Earl Seyer granted to the monks, in increase of his father's gift, the half nearest their ovm tilled land, of the marsh which stretches to the bum of Whytrig on the east, and also the coal work and quarry (carhonarium et qvarrarinm) between tlie said burn of Whytrig and the bounds of the lands of Pontekyn and lavereseh, and in the ebb and flow of the sea; so that none of the Earrs men have any common right within the bounds of the grange of Preston, nor in the pasture, nor in the coal work, nor iu the quany.^ Tbe boundaries towards the east and west seem to be the same with those by which the lands of the monks

were of old perambulated by Eobert de Quinci ; and the grant of coal not earlier reserved or mentioned, leads to the conclusion that it had not been previously worked, or at least to such an extent as rendered the privilege nnportant enougli to form the subject of a grant by charter. The working at first must have been confined to the coal which showed itseU' on the surface or the sea-cHfi'; but as the nearest supply was exhausted, the seam was followed wherever the level allowed. It was through this same field that, in later times, the monks of Neubotle carried galleries and conduits for the discharge of the water, not only of theu' own mines, but of that which impeded the worklng of their neighbours, the mouks of Dunferm- hne, in their coal field of Inveresch and Pinkie. '
Against a grant of Phihp de Evermel, the Lord of Lynton and Romanno, the chartulary scribe has noted — mirabilis concessio. It gave the monks a right of pasture in Eomanoch for one thousand sheep and sixty cattle, and aU their stud of mares.^ But that grant was but a small part of the sheep- bearing possessions of Neubotle. The monks had, by the munificence of King Malcohn, a great territory in Clydesdale, the modern name of which, Monldand, preserves the memory of its ancient possessors. The original charter of those lands was still preserveii in the_..early part of last centur}'; and as it furnishes several witnesses omitted in the chartulary, and gives the names of places in a different shape^ it has been considered jjroper to insert it, though it is evidently damagcd in correctness and authority by passing through so many transcripts. It is here printed from a copy in the haiid of General Hutton, bearing to be ' transcribed from a copy by Mr DUlon,' who had taken it from 'A copy in the possession of Mr Ray, Writer, Edinburgh,' which was marked — " The Principal Charter sealed under the Great Seal for the time, in the hands of John Hamilton of Airdrie,"^

THE PREFACE. xxxvii
From the Lindesays, also, the Abbey received extensive grants in the high range of Cra-vvfurd at an early period; and all these the monks turned to good account. "We have seen that they carried on mining for lead, and they did so also, probably, for the small amount of the precious metals which that district has always been known to contain, and which might be worth the winning, when labour and subsistence were equally cheap. But the monks cultivated their Lanarkshire territories to better purpose than mining, as it was then practised. They kept the greater part in their oMvn occupation. They had granges at each of their ' towns ' — each grange the centre of a oon- siderable agricultural estabhshment. It was of importance to preserve an open communication with those distant possessions, and the Register is full of transactions for that object, with the intermediate proprietors, whose grounds must be passed through. The grant of Alexander II., of Ucence to pass with cattle tlu-ough any intervening ground, and to spend the iiight in the common pasture, saving corn and meadow,' was only a specifica- tion of an ancient common law right in Scotland. But the monks, being on good terms with theu- neighbours, accepted the right sometimes as a grace. Thus the knights of St John gave free passage through their bounds of Torphecliin ; the De Boscos lords of Ogilface, through their land of Ogilface; the Le Chens tlirough Strabrock; the Stewarts through the barony of Bathcat ; the lords of Dalmahoy through their territory. The family of Melville gave a very early hcence of the same kind to the monks, ' flfoing and returning between Keubotle and the Abbey lands in Clydesdale, of passLng through their lands of Tletrevyn, by the road they had used in times past, with their cattle and oarriages ; and also of unyokiug their beasts from their waggons, and pasturing in the pasturage of that land as often as they required, avoiding corn and meadow, and of passing the night there, once in going and once in returning.' For tliis the monks were to pay yearly a new waggon, such as they manufactured for their own use in

Clydesdale — it is plain the monk's waggon was a model — laden with timber or building material of any kind.'
The western possessions of I^eubotle are not much adapted for agricul- ture, even with the improved management and probable improvement of chmate of niodern times. But it was well suited for rearing stock, and especially for wool-growing ; and we have some curious evidence that the Abbey of i^eubotle took a lead in producing the finest quahty of wool grown in Scotland. A ledger has been preserved, by a fortunate accident, showing the transactions of Andrew Hahburton, a merchant at Middle- burgh, and conservator of the Scotch privileges in the Low countries, at the end of the fifteenth centru-y. His chief deahngs were with his countrymen; and while he received lasts of salmon from the Bishop of Aberdeen, and a few other commodities from other correspondents, the staple of his exports from Scotland were wool and hides. Ainong many points of great interest, this merchanfs book brings us acquainted with the quality and price of those articles as early as 1490 ; and at that time the wool of our Abbey not only ranked highest in price, but seenis to have givcn a name for the highest quality of Scotch wool.^
The gift of the valley of the Lethan to the Abbey is very interesting. Alexander 11. had married his second wife, Mary de Couci, on the 15th May 1239. His first marriage was childless. The hopes of the nation were fixed on the birth of an heir to the throne, The king had chosen the castle of Eoxburgh as his residence for the time — a proof of the peace and confidence of that reign — and the queen was there preparing for her confine- ment. Many gifts conferred by Alexander II., and stiU more, his frequent residences at the Abbey, show his favour for l!feubotIe. It was an occasion

to give iise to strong and solemn feolings of religion. On the last day of August 1241, the young Queen, looking to her time of peril, and impressed with the frail tenure of life, bequeathed her body to be buried in the chiurch of Neubotle ; and in anticipation of the customary oblation, the King granted to God and the church of St Mary of T^Teubotle, and the monks there serving God, in free, pure, and perpetual alms, the vale of Lethan, from the head of the burn of Letlian, with all the streams that flow into it; and that specially for providing for the monks a ' pittance ' twice in the year, namely, on St Bartholomew's day, the birth-day of the king, and another on the feast of the nativity of the Virgin, a high solemnity in her Cistevcian church.* Four days afterwards, on the 4th of September, the vows of the sovereigns, and the ardent wishes of a whole people, were crowned by the birth of a prince destined to continue the good rule and good fortune of his fatiier.
And now for the completion of the vow. We know httle of the history of Mary de Couci after the death of Alexander. Her second husband was John de Brienne (called also Jean d'Acre), son of the emperor of the shadowy empire of tbo East ; but her subsequent hfe and tho period of her death are alike unknown. It is stated, however, that she, with her brother, Enguerran de Couci,* visited Scotland in 1272, to place tbeir young nephew, the heir of Guines, at the court of his cousin, the king of Scots. It may bc that the queen-dowager ncver returned from Scotland. That seems mcre

probable than that, having died in France, her body should have been brought hither after death. That she was ultimately entombed at Neubotle cannot be doubted. The same authority, already quoted from the poor notes of Father Hay, asserts almost as an eye-witness^ — ' In the midst of the church was seen the tomb of the queen of Idng Alexander, of marble, supported on six Hons of marble. A hiiman figure was placed rechning on the tomb, surrounded with an iron grating.' '
Another lady of more slender fame, but also connected with the royalty of Scotland, found her last resting-place at Neubotle. The story is told in the Scala chronicle, but the kiiight of Heton's French is hard reading, and the passage was long ago done into EngUsh by John Leland. ' In the yere 1360, one Catarine Mortimer, a damoiscl of London, was so belovid of Davy Bruise, king of Scottes, by acquaintaunce that he had in tyme of imprisone- inent with her, that he could not forbere her corapanie. Whereat the lordes of Scotland were angry, and causid one Eichard de Hulle, a varlette of Scotland, to go to hur, as for businesse from Bruise, and he stikkid her, and killid her, lyding from Mehrose to Soltre; whereupon Bruise toke great dolor, and caused her to be buried honoui-ably at Neubotle.' -
One or two charters connected with persons of historical importance may be briefly noticed. It is knowii that St Bride was the patron saint of the hcroic family of Douglas, whose help they invoked in sudden perO, by whose name they vowed, on whose festi\al they dated their acts of munifi- cence or charity, before whose altars they chose their graves. On St Bride's day, or the Ist of February, in the end of the year 1329, at the park of Douglas, the ' good Sir James of Douglas,' being then about to depart lor the Holy Land with the heart of his royal master, bestowed on tlie monastery of iNTeubotle his half of thc land of Kilmad, the other half of

More than haJf a century later, when the old Grahams had left Dalkeitli, and been succeeded by another race still more powerful and no less fricndly neighbom-s to Xeubotle, Sir James Douglas of Dalkeith made a will on the 30th September 1390, ia which, commending his soul to God and the Blessed Virgin and All Saints, he ordered his body to be buried in the monastery of St Mary of Neubotle, beside his late ' companion,'* Agnes of Dunbar, his first wife. At the same timc, he bequeathed to the Abbey a ' nowche,' or jewel, of St John, worth forty marks, or its value, and in ii-rldi- tion, £23 : 6 : 8, for the building of the church and wages of the masons employed upon it. For the service of the monks' refectory he gave twelve silver dishes, weighing eightecn pounds, sLx shillings sterHng, enjoining his heirs to see that they should not be abstracted from the use of the refec- tory or sold. He left £10 to the monks to pray for his soul, and £26 : 13 : 4 for an offering, and lights and other necessaries for his funeral^
Of existing families the largest benefactors of Neubotle were the Linde- says, already settled at Crauftird, from which they afterwards took their title. As if in recompense for that old munificence, tho Abbey records now furnisii the best proofs of their ancient pedigree, Generation after generation of these old lords of Craufurd granted and re-granted to their favourite monastery, parts of the lands which they held from Swan the son of Thor.

district. Their boundaries give naines not again heard for centuries. They bestowed freely the lands, ■nith all feudal privileges ; only, the first granters reserved the game — salvis bestiis et avibus — reservatis feris et avibus; and the King, in confirming their grant, rcserved his royalty of mines — salva nobis minera si que in dicta terra inveniri poterit — till at length Gerard de Lindesay, confinning the grant of his grandfather, ' in testimony of the peculiar favour he bore the hoase of Isreubotle,' yielded, over and above, the much- valued rights of the forest — sine aliquo retinemenio ferarum et avium; and the King, at his intercession, granted those lands in free forest, with all the forest privileges.'
One of the documents hcre registered gives a perfect form of the mode of ' extending,' that is, vakiing, land in the reign of Alexander 11. Tlie Kinpr issues his precept to Jolm de Vaux, sherifi' of Edinburgh, and Gilbert Fraser, sherifi" of Traquair, to Ileris, lois forestar, and Penycook, another oflHcer, that they go in person to the ground, and there, by the oath of good and faithfid men of the country, make be extended the pasture of Lethan- hop with its pertinents ; and that extent made, that they inform the King, bv letters under their seals, of the said extent and the ycarly vabje of the said pasture."
The extent then made, when contrasted with the desolation caused by the ceaseless wars of later times, might naturally be called valor tempore pacis, until it passed even into legal style. Our chartidary scribe, whose notes are somctimes quaint and often instructive, has noted one or two cuses that bring out the deterioration emphatically. He notices a property of the Abbey in Berwick which used to yield 46s. 8d., ' but now destroyed and ruined to the foundutiou, aud, in a manner, of no vahie.' His next chartcr is a grant upon the !N^es of Berwick, ' beside the great houses of Melros.' ' This,' says he, ' in time of peace (tempore pacis'), was for the proper bcnefit

(m proprios 7mis) of thc monks, and it yieldecl a liundred shillings yearly ; but now there is not one stone standing uj)on another.' '
The charters in the Appendix for the most part have reference to the pos- sessions of Neubotle, or throw light on the granters or others commemorated in our register. It may be allovrcd to dircct atteniion to one small series of these. "\Yilliam the Lion grants to AilLf, the king'3 baker, all the land which Ecginald, the gate-ward of the castle of Edinburgh, held of the king, in Inverleith, to be held by the service of his own body in his office of baker. Nicholas, the son of Ailif, succceded to his father in liis office, and also in the lands held by him in Liverleith, which he aJso heid by the service of his office, per servitium sui corporis, and with the privilege of grinding his corn at the king's mill without multure. In the reign of AJexander II., Nicholas resigned these lauds of the hereditarv' bakcrs, in favour of the family of St Clair of RosUn, and they appear in the later titles of that noble house by the name of ' the Baxter-lands of Inverleith/ a name which may be still known to some who do not dream that it is derived from their most ancient tenm-e.
Of the architecture of the Monastery of 2^eubotle, literallv nothing more is known from records or chronicles than the meagre and half authentic particulars collected by Father Hay. We have proof enough, indeed. of tiio extent of the Abbey buildings. To accommodate eighty monks and seventy conversi, with thclr retainers, — ^to entertain, as the Abbey often did, tlie Bishop, and the whole synod of his diocese, — to receive the Sovereign and his court — for there is scarcely a king from its saintly founder downwards Avho was not frequently received at Neuhotle^ — ^must have required a large and spacious edifice. It happens that in contemporary wrlters the Abbey buildings are scarcely over mcntioned but to record their destruction.

They were burnt by Ricbard in 1385. They were burnt again by the Earl of Hertford in 1544. 'Upon the 15 day of May the horsmen raid to Newbottlll and brynt it ; and owersaw Dalkeith, be the raoyane of George Dowglas ; and brynt many uther tounes thairabout. Na skaith was done to any kirkis exceptand thai distroyit the abbay of Newbottill. And the same nycht thai returnit to Leith.' '
The burning of such a pile of masonry was perhaps but a partlal dcstruc- tion. Certain it is, that in a few years after theEnglishLieutenanfsrough handUng, the Abbey buildings were sufficiently restored to be thought a con- venient place for the reception of a great assembly, since the Queen dowager, in person, held there a convention of tiie Lords of her party, preparatory to declaring war with England, in 1557. The subsequent disappearance of the ancient Abbey buildings cannot be accounted for in the common way, hv alleging the violence of the reforraing mobs. The Abbot of Neubotle entered so heartily into the lleformation, that his dweUing must probably have been respected by the most zealous iconoclasts ; and as it seems to have been a dweUing for his descendants continuously, we must rather seek the cause in their preference of modern comforts to thc picturesque archi- tecture and the historical and pious associations of the old Abbcy.
The present house is, to outward appearance, of the style of the middle of last century, with an addition made quite recently ; and iiowever much we may wonder that the minister of the parish, hving in the village, should make no aUusion to anything more ancient in its striicture, we cannot be surprised at the author of ' Caledonia' foUowing him in stating that 'the buildings of the Abbey have been long obliterated by the erection on their site of the modern mansion of the Marquis of Lothian that is caUed E^ew- bactle Abbey.'" It requires a close inspoction to correct this mistake. The present house occupies, indeed, a poi 'on of the area of the ancient monas-

In the interior the whole ground floor is exceedingly interesting. Broken by modern passages, and modem windows and chimneys, intersected by the whole region of kitchcn and cellar, there is yet to be traced from side to side of the housc, a series of vaulting, perhaps a sort of crypt used to raiso the building beyond the danger of the overflowing ri^ er. Several portions of the vaulting are very perfect, and by the Hberty of supposing a thin partition removed which only partially conceais some of the pillars, the view of a part of it on the south side of the house, next the river, is obtained, which is given in the frontispiece.

It oan scarcely be affirmed that the part of the ancient work remaining formea any portion of the Abbey Church. The church, with its cemotery, has been effectually obUterated ; and it is beneath the flower-plots or the smooth turf of the modern garden, tiuit Queen Mary de Couci rests, and Sir Alexander de E,amsay,^ and Sir James of Douglas, and many another lady and lord of Lothian.
Sincc the preceding sheets were sent to press, Dr Bandinell, with great courtes)', has procured in Oxfbrd the work of Manrique, of which there is no copy in thc Bodleian Hbrary, and has enabled me to ascertain that Father Hay must have derived his meagre notes of the convent history from another source. The only passage in Manrique's Annales Cisterdenses in which Neubotle is mentioned, is under the year 1140:* 'De Neubothle ahas de Neubothel (nam Obaclnam transeo quia recentiorem) hber taxarum niemiuit et domum ait in regno Scotiae sitam, Santandreana} diocesis, centum non amphus florenoriun taxa prefixa.

Unfortunately, Manrique did not live to continue his annaLs so low down, and tlie later history of Xeubotle, which he might perhaps have drawn from better sources than Boece and Leslie, is not touched by him.
At the lower end of the lawn which now stretches to the eastward of JSTewbattle Abbey, and of which a large part may have been once fillcd with the buildings of the monastery, tlje river is spanned by a fine old bridge of one circular arch with plain square ribs, much weather-worn.
