Earl of Menteith
The Mormaer or Earl of Menteith was originally the ruler of the province of Menteith in the Middle Ages. The first mormaer is usually regarded as Gille Críst, simply because he is the earliest on record. The title was held in a continuous line from Gille Crist until Muireadhach IV (aka Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany), although the male line was broken on two occasions. A truncated version of the earldom was given two years later to Malise Graham, 1st Earl of Menteith, in compensation for loss of the Earldom of Strathearn, which was a likely result of the execution of the Duke of Albany.

John Graham (British Army officer, born 1923)
Major General John David Carew Graham, CB, CBE, CStJ (18 January 1923 - 14 December 2012) was a British Army officer who was instrumental in the installation of Qaboos bin Said as Sultan of Oman.
Early career
Educated at Cheltenham College 1936–1940, he first served with the Isle of Wight Home Guard, before enlisting into the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in August 1941. In 1942, he was commissioned into the 2nd Battalion of that regiment, serving with them in North West Europe, where he received a mention in despatches. Following the war, he served in Palestine with the 1st Battalion.
In late 1948 he was sent to London to learn Czech prior to working in the British Embassy in Prague 1949-1950. There he clandestinely assessed the Czech Armed Forces activities, including the building of airfields, barracks and the adaptation of the Czech-gauge railway lines to take Russian rolling stock, all at a time of great tension, when a Soviet attack on war-exhausted western Europe was thought by many to be inevitable and imminent.

Menteith
Coordinates: 56°10′30″N 4°03′25″W / 56.175°N 4.057°W / 56.175; -4.057
Menteith or Monteith (Scottish Gaelic: Tèadhaich), a district of south Perthshire, Scotland, roughly comprises the territory between the Teith and the Forth. The region is named for the river Teith, but the exact sense is unclear, early forms including Meneted, Maneteth and Meneteth. The area between Callander and Dunblane was historically known as the Vale of Menteith.
In medieval Scotland, Menteith formed an earldom, ruled by the Earls of Menteith. Gilchrist is the first known earl. The lands and the earldom passed to Walter Comyn (d. 1258) in right of his wife Isabella, and then through Isabella's sister Mary to Stewarts, and finally to the Grahams, becoming extinct in 1694.
The Lake of Menteith, situated 24 miles south of Loch Venachar, measures 14 miles long by 1 mile broad, and contains three islands. On Inchmahome (Innis MoCholmaig, island of St Colmaig) stand the ruins of Inchmahome Priory, an Augustinian priory founded in 1238 by Walter Comyn, and built in the Early English style, with an ornate western doorway. Mary, Queen of Scots, when a child of four, lived on the island for a few weeks before her departure to Dumbarton Castle, and on to France in 1548. On Inch Talla stands the ruined tower of the earls of Menteith, dating from 1428.

Inchmahome and The Lake of Menteith
The ruins of Inchmahome Priory grace the largest of three islands in the Lake of Menteith. The priory was established around 1238 by a small community of Augustinian canons. Their founder and patron was Walter Comyn, Earl of Menteith, whose residence stood on the adjacent island of Inch Talla. The secluded location offered the brethren isolation from the secular world, and tranquillity in which to carry out the worship of God. The island sanctuary functioned for over 300 years, offering solace not only to the canons but also royal visitors. King Robert Bruce visited three times, and Mary Queen of Scots once, in 1547, when she was five. In 1560, the Reformation effectively brought monastic life at Inchmahome to an end. There are also some interesting old trees on the island. Finally a lo...

Inchmahome Priory - Lake of Menteith - Scotland 2016
Inchmahome Priory is situated on Inchmahome ("Inch" meaning an island), the largest of three islands in the centre of Lake of Menteith, close to Aberfoyle. The name "Inchmahome" comes from the Gaelic Innis MoCholmaig, meaning Island of St Colmaig.The priory was founded in 1238 by the Earl of Menteith, Walter Comyn, for a small community of the Augustinian order (the Black Canons). The Comyn family were one of the most powerful in Scotland at the time, and had an imposing country house on Inch Talla, one of the other islands on the Lake of Menteith. There is some evidence that there was a church on the island before the priory was established. The priory has a long history of receiving many notable guests.

Doune Castle (HD quality)
The village of Doune lies 8 miles NW of Stirling, Scotland. Doune (Gaelic: An Dùn, 'the fort') is in the district of Stirling, on the River Teith, although geographically, it is within Perthshire. Doune Castle may look strangely familiar, even to those who have never visited before. It depends on your taste in films: Doune Castle is a place of pilgrimage for Monty Python fans from all over the world who come to see the place where they filmed parts of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". It also has other, more traditional, claims to fame. Doune Castle was built at the end of the 1300s for Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. The exact date of construction is not known and it is believed that the end result is not exactly what was originally planned. But the combination of buildings tha...

Malise Graham, a junior grandson of Sir Patrick the
Graham of Dundaff, ancestor of the ducal house of Montrose,
married Euphemia Stewart, Countess Palatine of Strathearn, of
which dignity James I deprived them, but created Malise Earl of
Menteith in 1427. William, 7th Earl and Lord Justice General,
established his right as Earl Palatine of Strathearn in 1630 ; but this
aroused such envy that his confirmation was recalled, and the arms
of Strathearn were ordered to be " dashed out of his windows." He
was created Earl of Airth in 1633. His son. Lord Kilpont, was
murdered under dramatic circumstances by Stewart of Ardvoirlich,
as recorded in Scott's Legend of Montrose. William Graham, Lord
Kilpont's son, succeeded his grandfather as Earl of Airth and
Menteith, but little was left of the estates. Since his death in 1694,
the Earldoms of Airth and Menteith and Strathearn have been
dormant. There are many cadets of the Grahams of Menteith, of
whom the most celebrated are the Grahams of Gartmore and Ardoch,
descending from the fifth son of the 1st Earl, and of which house the
Scottish patriot, R. B. Cunningham-Graham of Ardoch, M.P., was
lately the representative.

Inchmahome Priory is situated on Inchmahome ("Inch" meaning an island), the largest of three islands in the centre of Lake of Menteith, close to Aberfoyle. The name "Inchmahome" comes from the Gaelic Innis MoCholmaig, meaning Island of St Colmaig.The priory was founded in 1238 by the Earl of Menteith, Walter Comyn, for a small community of the Augustinian order (the Black Canons). The Comyn family were one of the most powerful in Scotland at the time, and had an imposing country house on Inch Talla, one of the other islands on the Lake of Menteith. There is some evidence that there was a church on the island before the priory was established.
The priory has a long history of receiving many notable guests. King Robert the Bruce visited three times: in 1306, 1308 and 1310. His visits were likely politically motivated, as the first prior had sworn allegiance to Edward I, the English king. In 1358 the future King Robert II also stayed at the priory. In 1547 the priory served as a refuge for Queen Mary, aged four, hidden here for a few weeks following the disastrous defeat of the Scots army at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh during the Rough Wooing.
The decline of the monastic orders in the 16th century was hastened by the fact that the heads of abbeys and priories became appointees of the local landowner, who often did not share the religious goals of the monks or ordained priests. In 1547, the office passed to John, Lord Erskine, who later became head of Cambuskenneth and Dryburgh abbeys. The Scottish Reformation meant that there were no new priests being ordained, and religious land and buildings gradually passed into secular hands, leading to the priory's inevitable decline. In 1606 the land and property passed to the Erskine family, and later to the Marquess of Montrose; the 6th Duke of Montrose passed it into the care of the State in 1926.
The author, socialist and nationalist politician Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham and his wife Gabriela Cunninghame Graham are buried in the ruined chancel of the priory, where there is also a stone commemorating his nephew, and heir, Admiral A.E.M.B. Cunninghame Graham.
Although most of the buildings are now ruins, much of the original 13th-century structure remains, and it is now in the care of Historic Scotland, who maintain and preserve it as an important historic site. The priory can be visited by boat, operated by Historic Scotland from the nearby pier at Port of Menteith, from March to September.

The village of Doune lies 8 miles NW of Stirling, Scotland.
Doune (Gaelic: An Dùn, 'the fort') is in the district of Stirling, on the River Teith, although geographically, it is within Perthshire.
Doune Castle may look strangely familiar, even to those who have never visited before. It depends on your taste in films: Doune Castle is a place of pilgrimage for Monty Python fans from all over the world who come to see the place where they filmed parts of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
It also has other, more traditional, claims to fame. Doune Castle was built at the end of the 1300s for Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. The exact date of construction is not known and it is believed that the end result is not exactly what was originally planned. But the combination of buildings that emerged met all the military and domestic requirements of a royal castle.
Robert Stewart was also Earl of Menteith and Fife through marriage to Margaret, Countess of Menteith. As the third son of King Robert II and younger brother of Robert III, he became effective ruler of Scotland from 1388 until his death in 1420.
In 1420 governorship of the kingdom passed to Murdoch, Robert Stewart's son. However, his was to be a short reign. In 1424, James I returned from captivity in England and took power. Doune Castle then became a royal retreat and hunting lodge and was used by successive monarchs for more than a century.
In 1570, ownership passed to Sir James Stewart, the first Lord Doune. Later, the title Earl of Moray came to the occupants of the castle through marriage. Doune Castle has belonged to the Earls of Moray ever since.
The castle deteriorated through the 18th century, and by 1800 it was a roofless ruin. It remained so until the 1880s, when George Stuart, 14th Earl of Moray, began repair works. The timber roofs were replaced, and the interiors, including the panelling in the Lord's Hall, were installed. Further repairs were made in 1970. In 1984, the 20th Earl of Moray placed the castle in the care of the nation. It is now looked after by Historic Scotland who continue with restoration work.

Clan Graham of Menteith from the book The Scottish Tartans by W. & A. K. JOHNSTON LTD.
Malise Graham, a junior grandson of Sir Patrick the
Graham of Dundaff, ancestor of the ducal house of Montrose,
married Euphemia Stewart, Countess Palatine of Strathearn, of
which dignity James I deprived them, but created Malise Earl of
Menteith in 1427. William, 7th Earl and Lord Justice General,
established his right as Earl Palatine of Strathearn in 1630 ; but this
aroused such envy that his confirmation was recalled, and the arms
of Strathearn were ordered to be " dashed out of his windows." He
was created Earl of Airth in 1633. His son. Lord Kilpont, was
murdered under dramatic circumstances by Stewart of Ardvoirlich,
as recorded in Scott's Legend of Montrose. William Graham, Lord
Kilpont's son, succeeded his grandfather as Earl of Airth and
Menteith, but little was left of the estates. Since his death in 1694,
the Earldoms of Airth and Menteith and Strathearn have been
dormant. There are many cadets of the Grahams of Menteith, of
whom the most celebrated are the Grahams of Gartmore and Ardoch,
descending from the fifth son of the 1st Earl, and of which house the
Scottish patriot, R. B. Cunningham-Graham of Ardoch, M.P., was
lately the representative.

It's FRIDAY IN THE GRAVEYARD. I love a graveyard, don't you?
In this episode, Mindie Burgoyne talks about the ancient graves on the grounds of Inchmahome Priory, located on an Island (named Inchmahome) in the Lake of Menteith in Sterlinghshire, Scotland, UK.
The abbey ruins on Inchmahome are the remains of a 12th-century monastery once visited by the child Mary Queen of Scotts, Robert the Bruce and many other dignitaries. Mindie points out the 13th century effigies of Sir Walter Bailloch, the Earl of Menteith and his wife, Countess Mary as well as several knights of the same time period.
Mindie Burgoyne also takes you through the "Nun's Walk" lined by 700-year-old Spanish Chestnuts sitting on a carpet of bluebells. This is the setting for the grave of the "Bad Nun" who was caught in the act of fornication and allegedly executed and buried standing up.... thus forming the only "hill" or rise on the small island.
Inchmahome and its Priory are featured on "The Monk's Trail" tour of Scotland led by Mindie Burgoyne through Thin Places Tours. For more information on Mindie's Thin Places Tours, visit http://thinplacestour.com

The Lake of Menteith is in the Stirling area. It's on the Heart 200 road route. It's also famous as the only lake in Scotland. It has been claimed because the Earl of Menteith betrayed William Wallace. Another theory is that it was a mistake make on a map. Inchmahome Priory is also on an island in the lake. I am planning a return visit, in order to go to the Priory.

The ruins of Inchmahome Priory grace the largest of three islands in the Lake of Menteith. The priory was established around 1238 by a small community of Augustinian canons. Their founder and patron was Walter Comyn, Earl of Menteith, whose residence stood on the adjacent island of Inch Talla. The secluded location offered the brethren isolation from the secular world, and tranquillity in which to carry out the worship of God.
The island sanctuary functioned for over 300 years, offering solace not only to the canons but also royal visitors. King Robert Bruce visited three times, and Mary Queen of Scots once, in 1547, when she was five. In 1560, the Reformation effectively brought monastic life at Inchmahome to an end.
There are also some interesting old trees on the island.
Finally a look at Port of Menteith church with the swallows gathering before migrating.

After William Wallace lost the Battle of Falkirk and before Robert the Bruce had himself crowned at Scone there's a nine year gap. So what happened between Braveheart and The Outlaw King?
Scottish history tour guide Bruce Fummey takes you to the site of The Battle of Roslin, one of the most notable battles of the Scottish Wars of Independence that you never hear about... and neither William Wallace, nor Robert the Bruce were there.
Now you may have heard of the cave of William Wallacee at this site. Don't worry I didn't forget that. I just don't think he was at the Battle of Roslin, but John Comyn was

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As a Scottish history tour guide people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation of your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

The village of Doune lies 8 miles NW of Stirling, Scotland.
Doune (Gaelic: An Dùn, 'the fort') is in the district of Stirling, on the River Teith, although geographically, it is within Perthshire.
Doune Castle may look strangely familiar, even to those who have never visited before. It depends on your taste in films: Doune Castle is a place of pilgrimage for Monty Python fans from all over the world who come to see the place where they filmed parts of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
It also has other, more traditional, claims to fame. Doune Castle was built at the end of the 1300s for Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. The exact date of construction is not known and it is believed that the end result is not exactly what was originally planned. But the combination of buildings that emerged met all the military and domestic requirements of a royal castle.
Robert Stewart was also Earl of Menteith and Fife through marriage to Margaret, Countess of Menteith. As the third son of King Robert II and younger brother of Robert III, he became effective ruler of Scotland from 1388 until his death in 1420.
In 1420 governorship of the kingdom passed to Murdoch, Robert Stewart's son. However, his was to be a short reign. In 1424, James I returned from captivity in England and took power. Doune Castle then became a royal retreat and hunting lodge and was used by successive monarchs for more than a century.
In 1570, ownership passed to Sir James Stewart, the first Lord Doune. Later, the title Earl of Moray came to the occupants of the castle through marriage. Doune Castle has belonged to the Earls of Moray ever since.
The castle deteriorated through the 18th century, and by 1800 it was a roofless ruin. It remained so until the 1880s, when George Stuart, 14th Earl of Moray, began repair works. The timber roofs were replaced, and the interiors, including the panelling in the Lord's Hall, were installed. Further repairs were made in 1970. In 1984, the 20th Earl of Moray placed the castle in the care of the nation. It is now looked after by Historic Scotland who continue with restoration work.

Earl of Menteith
The Mormaer or Earl of Menteith was originally the ruler of the province of Menteith in the Middle Ages. The first mormaer is usually regarded as Gille Críst, simply because he is the earliest on record. The title was held in a continuous line from Gille Crist until Muireadhach IV (aka Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany), although the male line was broken on two occasions. A truncated version of the earldom was given two years later to Malise Graham, 1st Earl of Menteith, in compensation for loss of the Earldom of Strathearn, which was a likely result of the execution of the Duke of Albany.
