Tain
Through the Centuries
Tour Easter Ross. The
Royal Burgh of Tain, in Easter Ross, has a long and varied history,
reaching back to the sanctuary associated with St Duthac and
its early trading privileges traditionally bestowed by Malcolm
Canmore. A collegiate church was established there by James
III, with the sanction of the Pope, and it was a place of yearly
pilgrimage by James IV. The burgh's royal connections were sustained
through charters bestowed by James VI and Charles II. The history
of Tain is fully and vividly communicated through this reprinted
edition, originally commissioned for the 900th anniversary celebrations
in June 1966. The book brings together research from national
and local records resulting in a fresh examination of Tain's
claim to antiquity. The development of the town, including its
clan and political rivalries, changes in church and state, and
social and economical conditions form the background of this
unique story, in which well known figures such as Montrose,
Charles James Fox and Andrew Carnegie rub shoulders with a host
of local personalities. Tain Through the Centuries examines
in detail local matters like the positions of the four girth
or sanctuary crosses and the route of the burgh marches yet
strives to set these issues against a wider sphere of national
events, aiming to illustrate Scotland's history through its
impact on a small rural community remote from the centre of
affairs. Tain Through the Centuries is a fascinating portrait
of a fiercely proud area, an essential read for those interested
in the development of the royal and ancient burghs of Scotland
and in the history of the Highlands. R.W. and Jean Munro have
a strong combined knowledge of Tain, drawing from published
and unpublished sources and supplementing this with a special
study of the burgh and national records.
