Crossraguel Abbey, Maybole , Scotland. Where the last Benedict Monk to lived in Scotland, Part:1
The Abbey of Saint Mary of Crossraguel is a ruin of a former abbey near the town of Maybole, South Ayrshire, Scotland
The origin of the abbey's name refers to the ancient Cross of Riaghail (Latin form St Regulus) that stood on the spot.
Crossraguel was a Cluniac abbey and the monks - members of a branch of the Benedictines - were known as the Black monks after the colour of their clothes.
Founded in 1244 by Donnchadh, Earl of Carrick, following an earlier donation of 1225, to the monks of Paisley Abbey for that purpose. They reputedly built nothing more than a small chapel.
History:
Crossraguel Abbey was founded in 1244 by Duncan, 1st Earl of Carrick. The earl sought assistance from the abbot and monks of Paisley Abbey and provided them with land and funds. However, the Paisley superiors built only a small chapel for Crossraguel and kept the remainder for themselves. Upset at this, the earl took the case to law, seeking assistance from the Bishop of Glasgow, who ruled on the earl's behalf. He required not only that Paisley build the monastery at Crossraguel, but also that some of the monks from Paisley should be transferred there. These monks were given the authority to choose their own abbot. The abbot of Paisley, it was decreed, was not to interfere with Crossraguel's affairs, though he was allowed a yearly visit. All of Paisley's possessions in Carrick were to be handed over to Crossraguel, a ruling which the abbot of Paisley appealed to the pope in 1265, but to no avail.
Crossraguel was sacked in 1307 by the army of Edward I. It was rebuilt on a larger scale and remained a monastery until 1560, when the Reformation ended monastic institutions in Scotland. However, the few remaining monks were allowed to live out their time there until the last monk died in 1601. Some of the stone has been removed for local construction, but the Abbey ruins remain some of the most complete of any medieval religious house to survive in Scotland. Like Paisley Abbey, Crossraguel was of the Order of Cluny whose mission was to encourage pilgrimage. It is no accident then that Crossraguel is half-way between Paisley and Whithorn on the Ayrshire pilgrims' trail to the shrine of St Ninian in The Machars of Galloway. The site is looked after by Historic Scotland as a scheduled monument and is open to the public with an entrance charge.
The Kennedy family, Earls of Cassilis famously obtained the lands of Crossraguel Abbey through the torturing by Gilbert Kennedy, 4th Earl of Cassilis of Allan Stewart, the commendator at his castle of Dunure.
in Autumn, 1506, Montjoie (Gilbert Chauveau), French King of Arms, visited Crossraguel probably as part of his diplomatic missions regarding Scottish military support for King Hans (John) of Denmark. Montjoie had already spent time at the Court of King Henry VII of England before moving to Scotland and from there, visited Denmark. The record of him visiting Crossraguel is found in the Treasurer's Accounts of James IV, King of Scots - ‘Item, to Johne Beg, messingeir, to pas to Corsragwell and other places with writingis to warne of Montjoyis cummyng.
Crossraguel Abbey is one of the finest and most compleate medieval monasteries in Scotland. Closely link to Robert the Bruce, it survived the War of Independence of the 1300s (Wars of Independence is between Scotland and England before become United Kingdom in 1707) and prospered in the centuries that followed, Much of the present fabric was bulit in the 1400s, including the finely decorated chapter house and sacristy.

Hi everyone thank you very much for reading here is the history of the Crossraguel Abbey..

Old Photographs Of Maybole South Ayrshire Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Maybole, Scottish Gaelic: Am Magh Baoghail, a town in South Ayrshire. This Scottish town is situated 9 miles south of Ayr and 50 miles South West of Glasgow by the Glasgow and South Western Railway. Maybole is an ancient place, having received a charter from Donnchadh, Earl of Carrick in 1193. In 1516 it was made a burgh of regality, but for generations it remained under the subjection of the Kennedys, afterwards Earls of Cassillis and, later, Marquesses of Ailsa, the most powerful family in Ayrshire. The current Marquess of Ailsa lived at Cassillis House, just outside Maybole. The ancestral seat of the Marquesses of Ailsa is Culzean Castle. In the nineteenth century, Maybole became a centre of boots and shoe manufacturing. Maybole railway station was opened on 24 May 1860, originally as part of the Maybole and Girvan Railway, worked and later owned by the Glasgow and South Western Railway. The station replaced the original Maybole station, which was the original terminus of the Ayr and Maybole Junction Railway. Maybole is a short distance from the birthplace of Robert Burns, the Scots national poet. Burns' mother was a Maybole resident, Agnes Brown

Maybole is a burgh of barony and police burgh of South Ayrshire, Scotland. Pop. 4,760. It is situated 9 miles south of Ayr and 50 miles southwest of Glasgow by the Glasgow and South Western Railway. Maybole has Middle Ages roots, receiving a charter from Donnchadh, Earl of Carrick in 1193. In 1516 it was made a burgh of regality, although for generations it remained under the suzerainty of the Kennedys, afterwards Earls of Cassillis and (later) Marquesses of Ailsa, the most powerful family in Ayrshire. The current Marquess of Ailsa lives at Cassillis House, just outside Maybole. In the late seventeenth century, a census recorded Maybole was home to 28 lords and landowners with estates in Carrick and beyond.
In former times, Maybole was the capital of the district of Carrick, and for long its characteristic feature was the family mansions of the barons of Carrick. Maybole Castle, a former seat of the Earls of Cassillis, dates to 1560 and still remains, although aspects of the castle are viewed as of concern. The public buildings include the town-hall, the Ashgrove and the Lumsden fresh-air fortnightly homes, and the Maybole combination poorhouse. Maybole is a short distance from the birthplace of Robbie Burns, the Scots national poet. Burns mother was a Maybole resident, Agnes Brown.
In the nineteenth century, Maybole became a centre of boots and shoe manufacturing. Margaret McMurray (??-1760), one of the last native speakers of a Lowland dialect of Scottish Gaelic is recorded to have lived at Cultezron (not to be confused with nearby Culzean), a farm on the outskirts of Maybole.
Maybole has a number of landmarks, reflecting its role as a settlement on the southwest Scottish coastline, 43 miles south of the commercial and shipbuilding concentrations on the River Clyde and Glasgow, and 92 miles north of Carlisle, the most north-westerly English city.
The ancestral seat of the Marquesses of Ailsa is Culzean Castle, now run by The National Trust for Scotland and located four miles west from Maybole. This dates from 1777; it stands on a basaltic cliff, beneath which are the Coves of Culzean, once the retreat of outlaws and a resort of the fairies. A primary rail service is at Maybole railway station. Set up in 1860. Two miles to the south-west are the ruins of Crossraguel (from Crois Riaghail meaning 'Cross of St Regulus' ) Abbey, founded about 1240. In the early 20th century, Maybole added a Baptist church. This was admitted to the Baptist Union in 1901 and appointed its first full minister in 1919, a year after the Great War finished.
Kirkoswald, where Robert Burns spent his seventeenth year, learning land-surveying, lies a little farther west. In the parish churchyard lie the real people who inspired two of Burn's fictitious characters Douglas Graham (Tam o' Shanter) and John Davidson (Souter Johnnie). Farther south are the ruins of Turnberry Castle, where Robert the Bruce is said to have been born. A few miles to the north of Culzean are the ruins of Dunure Castle, an ancient stronghold of the Kennedys.

Covenanters' Memorial near Maybole, S. Ayrshire, Scotland
Here is a video clip which records a troubled era in Scotland's past, when there was a strong movement to reject the Monarch as head of the Presbyterian church aggravated by the fact that the Monarch , King James VII (Scotland) II (England), was an avowed Catholic. This conflict resulted in various battles, conflicts, persecutions and killings.
Dispute was resolved by the 1690 Revolution Settlement and cemented by the Articles of Union between England and Scotland in 1707.

CULZEAN CASTLE IN MAYBOLE SCOTLAND, PART:2????พาเที่ยวปราสาท คูเชล สวยๆ
????????♀️Hi everyone WELCOME thank you very much for watching and commenting really appreciated your time I hope everybody is fine here is more information and also the link below too if you have time, thanks again stay blessed????????
Culzean Castle was constructed as an L-plan castle by order of the 10th Earl of Cassilis. He instructed the architect Robert Adam to rebuild a previous, but more basic, structure into a fine country house to be the seat of his earldom. The castle was built in stages between 1777 and 1792. It incorporates a large drum tower with a circular saloon inside (which overlooks the sea), a grand oval staircase and a suite of well-appointed apartments.
In 1945, the Kennedy family gave the castle and its grounds to the National Trust for Scotland (thus avoiding inheritance tax). In doing so, they stipulated that the apartment at the top of the castle be given to General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower in recognition of his role as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during the Second World War. The General first visited Culzean Castle in 1946 and stayed there four times, including once while President of the United States.
The Ayrshire (Earl of Carrick's Own) Yeomanry, a British Yeomanry cavalry regiment, was formed by The Earl of Cassillis at Culzean Castle in about 1794. On 24 June 1961, the regiment returned to the castle to be presented with its first guidon by General Sir Horatius Murray, KBE, CB, DSO.
The castle re-opened in April 2011 after a refurbishment funded by a gift in the will of American millionaire William Lindsay to the National Trust for Scotland. Lindsay, who had never visited Scotland, requested that a significant portion of his $4 million go towards Culzean.Lindsay was reportedly interested in Eisenhower's holidays at the castle.

Phantom Monks of Blanchland | Northumbrian Folklore
Welcome to my channel. Here you'll find folklore from across the British Isles. This Halloween a friend and I headed to the village of Blanchland on the Durham/Northumberland border and walked around the grounds of the old Abbey at night. The story surrounding the phantom monks is that they were murdered by Scottish Border Reivers, and have been restless ever since.

Maybole Railway Station on the Ayr to Stranraer Line
Maybole was opened in 1860 to replace the original station nearby. It was part of the Glasgow and South Western Railway.
The station originally had two platforms with a two-storey main offices on the down platform, and a large single-storey building with glazed awning on the up. Following the line's singling in 1973 the northbound platform was removed and the building demolished. The down platform and main building remain with a substantial pedestrian overbridge.

Battle of Flodden MotorBike Adventures Of Britain
Battle of Flodden
9th September 1513
King Henry VIII of England acceded to the throne in 1509 and from the outset was keen to secure England’s position on the Continental stage. To this end, he joined an alliance with Spain and Pope Julius II against France in 1511. King James IV of Scotland was married to Henry’s sister but also had an alliance with France. When Henry invaded France in 1513 the French King Louis XII called upon James for assistance. James was persuaded to invade England and so divert troops away from the war on the continent.
Assisted with French arms, ammunition and some troops, James crossed into England in August with an army of up to 60,000 men. His intentions were to draw English forces north and so deplete the troops available for war in France. To this end he confined his activities to capturing the border castles of Etal and Ford, using the latter as his base, and sending raiding parties into the countryside.
But Henry had anticipated an invasion from Scotland and had assembled his forces for the continental campaign mainly from the counties of southern England, leaving Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey in command in the north.
In response to the Scottish invasion, the Earl of Surrey mustered troops from across the northern and Midland counties. By early September there was an army of some 26,000 assembled at Alnwick. James's army had now shrunk, by desertion and through troops being detached for garrison duty, to 35-40,000. Surrey now issued a challenge to James, which was eventually accepted, with a battle to take place on the 9th September at the latest.
James moved his army to the steep hill of Flodden Edge. When Surrey arrived on 7th September and saw the tactical advantage the Scots had taken he requested James to take a more level ground where each had the same chance. Unsurprisingly James declined to move stating that he would ‘take and keep his ground at his own pleasure’.
In response, on 8th September Surrey marched his army in a wide sweep to the north-east, several miles east of the Scottish position and on the opposite side of the river Till. Now he could advance against the Scots from the north, avoiding the entrenched Scottish artillery which was facing south against the expected direction of English attack, and also stopping the Scottish army retreating across the border without engaging.
James saw this manoeuvre from his vantage point on Flodden Edge but it was not until the morning of the 9th that he realised Surrey's intent. He then ordering his army to turn about and march a mile to the north from Flodden Edge to Branxton Hill, which formed the northern edge of this area of high ground. As the English, somewhat delayed by the crossing of the Pattins Burn, drew up to the south of Branxton village on a slight rise below Branxton Hill the Scots were already in battle formation and ready to attack.
Despite initial Scottish success, the battle of Flodden was to prove a devastating defeat for the Scots. Casualties were very heavy and amongst the 10,000 killed were nine earls, thirteen barons, five heirs to titles, three bishops, two abbots and even the King himself.
