The Scottish Regalia and Dunnottar Castle

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  08 January 2012

Extract

In February 1921 I read a paper to the Society of Antiquaries of London on a document dated 24th May 1652 which I showed to be the original draft of the terms of surrender of Dunnottar Castle by Sir George Ogilvie of Barras to the Parliamentary forces. That document had its chief importance in the reference which it contained to the so-called ‘Honours’ or Regalia of Scotland, which had been removed from the castle before the surrender. I had the honour of presenting that document to the nation, to be exhibited permanently in the Crown room at Edinburgh Castle, where it now is.
