Bowoke or Bowy, John. (Bullock)

Grandson (one ref calls him son, with a sister Chritiana) of Thomas
Bowoke, he inherits after 1501 from William Bullok, was in possessions by 1505,
but not entered as heir of g/f Thomas until 1523. He is entered as a Burgess in
1517, paying his dues with ‘nine score sacks of all kind of stanes for the
common wall of the town’, presumably for the Flodden Wall. The 1507/8
Guildry tariff shows this as worth 6/8d or 13/4d, depending upon his status as
1st or 2nd son.
Cameron, Thomas (jun).

Thomas was notary Public and Clerk of Glasgow diocese by apostilic
and royal authority in 1505, servitor to Lord Sinclair (master of the King’s
artillery) in 1511, when he gets £4/6/8 from the treasury for transporting guns
from the Castle to Newhaven and back, by 1513 is ‘in’ the Powder Mill, is paid
40s for two pairs of wheels for ‘close carts’ in 1515 and by 1518 is on £20 p.a.
as ‘Keeper of the King’s Artillery’.
Dee, John.
Younger son & heir of burgess Sir Robert Dee (d. by 1501), ‘Tavernor’
John dies by 1518 and is succeeded in Cowgate lands by daughters Janet &

Katherine in 1526, whose procurators are Alexanders Dee, senior and junior.
Alex sen. was John’s brother, also a younger son of Robert’s, whilst the other
Alex was John’s son, who inherited his burgess place in 1518.
Dickson, George.
George was brother of M. Thomas Dikson, below, appears as a witness
in 1496 and married Elizabeth Strathauchin (by 1508), doubtless kin of the
family of notaries and lenders extant at the time. George makes numerous
appearances as Baillie c. 1508 on, held other burghal lands and had royal
custom for his exclusive drapery. Treasury accounts show him being paid c.
£40 for 14 ½ ells of Tanne velvet supplied to Ales Hume, sister of Lard of
Fastcastle in 1511, whilst the next year he is paid the enormous sum of £111 for
18 ½ ells of Crammesy velvet for a gown for the Queen and £4 17s 9d for 2 ½
ells and ½ a ¼ [ell] of English Scarlet to cover the Princis cradle. He died c.
1521 and was succeeded by son James in 1524, who in turn is succeeded by
his younger brother Thomas in 1527. George’s daughters Elizabeth and Jonet
receive their parts (as co-heirs of their late brother James) of another
tenement in 1534. (Thomas inherits other Edinburgh lands too) Elizabeth was
the eldest daughter, married firstly John Napier, from whom she inherited
other lands after his death by 1528, and secondly (by 1529) burgess
Alexander Preston or Bartoun. Younger sister Jonet married burgess George
Cant. Barton and Cant both have Fife lands of possible marital origin.
Dickson, Master Thomas.

Thomas was at St Andrews from 1488-1493 and as well as being
prebendary of Terray, which he recieves gratis from the King in 1511-12
(together with the kirklands, house and glebe, in free barony), he is also
described as Chaplain in 1491 and 1496, witnessing Creichton and Cant
sasines (including Strabrok lands – see below), minister of Trinitarian House of
Houstone and Provincial of the Order 1502, Provost of Guthrie 1506-12, Dean
of Restalrig 1510-13, Canon of Aberdeen 1511, Rector of Bute and has
benefice of Leswaid in 1512.
He receives many payments from the treasury in 1511-13 for such
diverse duties as – 40s for saying 60 masses in Dunfermline, 17s 6d to ‘by fische
and uthir stuff to have up to the Kingis great schip in Quenis ferry’, £5 for five
trigentalis said in St Andrews, £5 6s 8d for drawing up the charter involving
himself and John Dishington of Ardross’s dealings over the lands of
Tulliquandlane, which he held in wadset and fell to his two Dikson sisters,
Janet and Elizabeth, 20 years later. He also receives £3 in part payment for
‘lining the Kingis gret parchment porteus’, £4 10s for ‘laying down to priests in
Linlithgow’, 14s to do errand for the King and appears as co-payee with
Archibald Earl of Angus, Robert Graham of Fintry, Henry Lovell of Ballumbie
and William Carmichael. As well as his Cowgate lands he held property in
Leith and knew how to work wadsets. He is believed to have been killed at
Flodden in 1513 and is definitely described as deceased in 1521.
Dickson, sir John,

John Dykson was at St Andrews from 1510-12, was appointed rector of
Pentland parish church in 1521, by John Hepburn, prior of St Andrews, at the
presentation of Sir William Sinclair of Roslin, became Provost of Roslin by 1524,

Chaplain of Altar of St Katrine in St Giles c. 1530 and was possibly

minister/exhorter at Peebles 1560-67.
Dingwall, sir John. See separate biography below.
Hamilton, Sir Patrick of Kincavill (near Linlithgow).

Grandson of James III, brother of the Earl of Arran and cousin of Sir
James Hamilton of Finnart. Treasury accounts show him ‘schuting at the schort
buttis and syne at the long buttis’ with the King, whilst in 1506, 34s is paid to
John Hertseid, pailyoun man ‘to fetch pailyouns agane the fechting of the
lord Hammylton and the Franch Knight, and for six carriage hors with thaim’.
[Sir Pat won a jousting match against public challenger Sir John Coupance
under the walls of the Castle on 26/11/1506, the King signalling Hamilton’s win
by throwing his hat over the castle walls]. Patrick receives 16 ells ‘dames’ at
24s, presumably for clothing for the event.
He bought Cowgate lands 1512 from Thomas Williamson, nephew and
heir of Sir John Lamb. Entered to the Guild on the 4th Octeber 1515, he
becomes Provost of Edinburgh three weeks later.
He was slain in a skirmish called ‘cleanse the Causeway’ in the High St
of Edinburgh in 1520, when he is succeeded by son & heir James. Another
son, also Patrick, rose to fame on the scaffold at St Andrews in 1528, when he
was tried for heresy by Beaton and others, then burnt at the stake as the first
and most famous reformation martyr.
Ker, Master Matthew.

He graduated from Paris University in 1498, was vicar of Peterculter
1503, attended St Andrews from 1506-08, was Dean of Christianity and
Commissary south of the Forth 1505 x 1511, Provost of Kirk of Field 1511-16,
Commissary of Lothian 1516. Held other lands in Edinburgh, other than
provost’s land. From his association with other members of the family, he is
believed to be descended from the Kers of Yare (Yair); he was dead by 1520,
and seemingly succeeded at St Mary’s by prebendary Sir Alexander Couper,
another Paris graduate (law, 1500) and founding member of the College of
Justice in 1532, alongside sir John Dingwall. Master Richard Bothwell is the next
Provost, from 1525.
Raperlaw.
The family first appear as Edinburgh merchants in 1438, when David R
and others from Edinburgh and Aberdeen are petitioning Henry VI for
restitution for ‘Goods of their own and their maistres & friends, lately taken in
two Flemish and Sprucian vessels on the high seas, during the truce’. The King
gives them safe conduct back to Scotland to gather evidence for their case,
since their ‘Markes, letters and paupires were embesaillez at the capture’.
William was possibly born around this time, but no more is known of him at
present, other than his land-holdings.
Strathauchin.
A noted family of burgesses, notaries and financiers in Edinburgh at the
time, generally taken today as ‘Strachan’. Elizabeth married George Dykson,
above, Henry and his successor John (son of another John) hold wadsets over

Raperlaw and Inchecok lands, whilst Vincent Strathauchin’s protocol books

have mostly survived, providing many references for this work.
Dingwall, sir John.
John is believed to be the younger son (or possibly grand-son) of

the William Dingwall of Kildun who was slaughtered along with seven-score
other Dingwalls on the slopes of Ben Wyvis in 1452 by Munro of Foulis and
others. In 1464, Thomas Dingwall, junior of Kildun, is mentioned alongside his
brother John, and in 1466 Thomas junior is mentioned as heir to Thomas
Dingwall, subdean of Ross (and treasurer of Caithness 1448-1454), who died
by 1477 and was likely brother to the murdered William. [A previous William de
Dingwall was subdean of Ross 1371 and Dean from 1372-89]
A John Digwell or Digwaill matriculated in 1471 and graduated as

Magister from St Andrews in 1474, which could fit with his being conceived
before 1452, but conflicts with his common appellation ‘sir’. [Thomas is
succeeded at Kildun by his son William after 1507]. Sir John certainly comes by
the Privy Seal ‘Gift of wards of all lands and annual rentis with mylnez &
fishings’, previously of the late William Dingwall of Kildun, in 1527. This could
refer to the William above, or to his grand-son William, who was also
slaughtered by sixteen folk prior to 1531-2 and succeeded by another
Thomas. If this Kildun laird, who does not appear with this designation until
1537, was a minor at the time of his father’s death c. 1527, this would account
for the ward duties/rental returns being assigned to an adult member of the
family.
In 1510, John is variously described as Notary Public and Master of the

Hospital of St Mary in Tevidale, and on the 1st of January 1511-12, he is
granted a Precept of Legitimation under the Privy Seal for his five bastards --
Henry, James, Katrine, Isobel and Jonet. In 1520, he reserves the life-rent of
one of his Cowgate properties to himself and a certain Agnes Johneston.
By 1516, he is Archdean of Caithness, before becoming Succentor of

Moray by 1523, a position he is thought to have exchanged with Dunbar for
the Chancellorship of Aberdeen, which post he held from 1525 until his death
in 1532/3. He also held the post of Provost of Trinity College Church in
Edinburgh from 1525 until his death.
During this time, he also appears as :- Dominus (sir), 1511, Rector of Olrik
in Caithness at 10 merks and of Kilteyrn in Ross at 20 merks in 1512, Rector of
Strabrok in St Andrews Diocese, (c. 1524), Vicar of Wemyss (1531), Protonotary
Apostilic (frequently) and one of the founding Senators of the College of
Justice (1532), in whose records some Latin verses by Buchanan exist about
Dingwall:-
Nomine Joannes Diguallis origine flamen

Flamine natus erat, quem tegit iste lapis;
E patrio censu nec nummo ditior uno;
Scriptura primas accumulavit opes.

Sedulus hinc petri coluit mensorius urbam,

Hinc tumor, hinc Gloria luxus, opes;
Et velut hinc etiam traxisset stemmata gentis
Ornatur titulis porma? superba novis.
As well as his extensive benefices, holdings in the Cowgate and the

wards/rents of Kildun, John also had a pretentious mansion, dubbed ‘Dingwall
Castle’, thought to lie close to or within the site of the old GPO building. [See
Gordon’s drawing of Trinity College Church and castle ruins in his map]. He
also managed to add the tack of Wester Lumphoy in Balerno (1524), the
‘principal messuagium, mansion, pomarium et hortum de Wester Strabrok’
(1524), assisted the annexation of the church of Dunottar to Trinity College
(1525-6), claimed £10 p.a. out of the burgh of Edinburgh (1526), was granted
wards and rents of Gairloch (1528), lands of Blaire in Fife (1529) and a parcel
of rentals in 1531.
Treasury accounts also how him handling large sums of public money
due to various contractors; in 1512, Dingwall and William Monypenny pay
£104 3s 6d to James Makesone for mariners’ wages for the month of June,
then John pays another £78 3d for May’s wages (unentered before – one
wonders why), £91 15s 6d to Johne Murray in Diep for mariners to bring a large
consignment of timber from France, £40 (with Lord Sinklere) to two Falconers
for their expenses going to Orkney & Shetland to obtain hawks, 20 French
Crowns to the treasury ‘for the burse’, pays shipbuilding accounts and
receives ‘six score uncis silver put in wed’ (pledge) to him. At 13/4 per ounce,
this is another £80, although the sum of all the contributed silver in this
transaction is out by £8 2s 6d in c. £114. One wonders what became of the
balance. In 1513 he receives 44s 4d for ‘mending the Kingis granellis’ –
meaning unknown at present.
He also appears as an auditor of the Treasury Accounts in 1516, 1524,

1527 and 1529-30, amongst other worthies such as Gavin Dunbar, James
Kincragy, William Scot of Balweary, James (chancellor), Dean of Glasgow,
Alex, and Abbot of Cambuskenneth etc. A modern accountant might shed
some light on their accuracy! Given his propensity for spending others’ money
(see below), it is quite possible that there may be some discrepancies, other
than the one quoted above.
Whilst this extensive collection of benefices, rents, fees, wards, lands,

mistresses and natural offspring typifies the causes of the reformation, it is
Dingwall’s later philandering that so incensed John Knox in his ‘History of the
Reformation’, which portion is quoted in full below:-
“…..But here follows the most merry of all. Sandie Furrour, who had been imprisoned
seven years in the Tower of London, [found] Sir John Dingwall, according to the charitie of
churchmen, [had] entertained his wife and wasted the poor man’s substance. For which
cause, upon his returning, he spake more liberally of priests than they could bear, and so was
declared to be accused of heresy, and called to his answer to St Andrews. He leapt up merrily
upon the scaffold and, casting a gawmond, said,
‘Where are the rest of the players?’

Master Andrew Oliphant, offended therewith, said,
‘It shall be no play to you, Sir, before that ye depart’, and so he began to read his
accusation, the first article whereof was – “That he despised the Mass”.

His [Furrour’s] answer was,

‘I hear more Masses in eight days than three Bishops there sitting says in a year.’
Accused secondly – “Of contempt of the sacraments”, he said,
‘The priests were the most common contemners of sacraments and especially of
matrimony’, ….and that he witnessed by any of the priests there present, and named the
men’s wives with whom they had meddled, and especially Sir John Dingwall, who had seven
years together abused his own wife and consumed his substance; and said,
‘Because I complained of such injuries, I am here summoned, and accused, as one
who is worthy to be burnt. For God’s sake, will ye take wives of your own, that I and others,
whose wives ye have abused, may be revenged upon you.’
Then Bishop Gavin Dunbar, named “Old Bishop of Aberdeen”, thinking to justify himself
before the people, said,
‘Carl, thou shalt not know my wife.’
The said Alexander answered,
‘My Lord, ye are too old; but, with the grace of God, I shall drink with your daughter or I
depart.’
And thereat was smiling of the best, and loud laughter of some; for the bishop had a daughter
married with Andrew Balfour in that same town. Then the bishops bade --
‘Away with the carl.’
But he answered,
‘Nay; I will not depart this hour; for I have more to speak against the vices of priests
than I can express this whole day.’
And so, after divers purposes, they commanded him to burn his Bill. And he demanding the
cause, they said,
‘Because ye have spoken these articles whereof ye are accused.’
His answer was,
‘The muckle Devil bear them away that first and last said them.’
And so he took the Bill and, chewing it, he after spat it in Mr Andrew Oliphant’s face, saying,
‘Now burn it or drown it, whether ye will; ye hear no more of me. But I must have
somewhat of every one of you to begin my pack again, which a priest and my wife, a priest’s
whore, has spent.’
And so every prelate and rich priest, glad to be quit of his evil, gave him somewhat;
and so departed he, for he knew nothing of religion.”
[This incident probably occurred after 1528, as in Knox it appears just

after he quotes John Lindsay’s famous ‘Reek of Master Patrick Hamilton’
speech to Bishop James Beaton (see Hamilton of Kincavill tenement, below),
and definitely before 1532/3, when Gavin Dunbar and John Dingwall are
both dead.
It is not yet known why or when Sandy Furrour was incarcerated in the
Tower, but from the vehemence of his outbursts on the scaffold, one might
imply that his injuries were recently discovered, putting his imprisonment at c.
1520-4. It is also possible, however, that his imprisonment coincided with
Dingwall’s siring of five natural children before 1511, and that he harboured a
grudge against the adulterer for the next twenty years.
An Alexander Furrour appears in the Exchequer Rolls in 1503 in a batch

of thirty persons, receiving 4 Merks each, and some 18 further repicients
sharing £62, alongside familiar Cowgate/High St names such as Henry Alan
(See Bish Dunkeld), William Fery, James Lamb, John Knox, and Perthshire
names such as Charles Maxton, James Reidheugh, Murray(s) and John
Strogeith . He appears again in 1507, when he receives £10 from the royal
purse, possibly shared with another.

Considering the rarity of the surname Furrour/Ferrier in the first place, and both
royally-connected Alexanders, they are believed to be one and the same.
No more is kent of him, at present, but it is unlikely that a Scots ‘nobody’
would have survived seven years in the Tower. If they are the same, and the
John Digwell who graduated in 1474 is identical with Sir John Dingwall, then
both would have been of a decent age for their time in 1528-32. Furrour c.
50, Dingwall c. 80 years of age.
Andrew Oliphant was probably from the Kellie in Fife branch of the
Oliphants (or their Linlithgow cadet branch), as all other recorded
contemporary Andrew Os were known to be either dead by 1528/9 or
married with kids. He graduated from St Andrews University in 1527, appears
as a notary public in Linlithgow in 1534, was sent to assist Gavin Dunbar,
Bishop of Glasgow (and nephew of Bishop Dunbar, above), in the trial of
Russell and Kennedy 1539, Dean of Kinghorn from 1539-44, Dean of
Linlithgow 1544/5, vicar of Invertig 1545, Dean of Fife (St Andrews and Crail)
1549, notary public & vicar pensioner of Abernethy 1549, confidential agent
of Cardinal Beaton at Rome, then notary Public at Rome, in service of
Archbishop Hamilton, 1553-4, and chaplain to Archbishop of St Andrews in
1560, when he is taken prisoner by the congregation. He appears in
Edinburgh protocols in 1554 and 1563, handling large sums of money, such as
‘fifty double ducats’.
Gavin Dunbar (sen) was from the senior Dunbar branch, a son of Sir
Alexander of Westfield in Moray. Graduating ‘master’ from St Andrews in
1475, he was Dean of Moray before 1487, Clerk of Register 1501, Archdeacon
principal of St Andrews with a mansion in Edinburgh 1504-5, and Bishop of
Aberdeen from 1518 until his death in 1532.
His nephew Gavin, a yr. son of Sir John Dunbar of Mochrum, was also
St Andrews educated, then tutor to James V in 1517, Dean of Moray 1518,
Prior of Whithorn, Bishop of Glasgow 1524, Lord chancellor 1528-43, Abbot of
Inchaffray 1538, died 1547, after involvement with more heretical trials.
Furrour mentions ‘three bishops there sitting’; Dunbar is named, the

presence of the incumbent bishop of St Andrews, James Beaton -- uncle of
Cardinal David -- can be sensibly implied, the third bishop unknown.]

Appendix 1.7 : Architectural Fragments
A number of architectural fragments were noted within the surviving building

fabric of the Cowgate Fire Site. These have been located on the ground
plan below with a brief list and description. The worked stones show a
continuum and reuse of previous structures within the fabric of more recent
structures. It is possible to recognise a range of periods, from the roll
mouldings of the 16th and 17th century to the distinctive droving tool marks of
the 18th and 19th centuries. This is useful in providing terminus ante quems to
certain elevations (like the southeast of Hasties Close) which appear much
older than they actually are. This is not withstanding both the fact that most
walls within the site are built on the lines of earlier boundaries and the
incorporation (as with much of Building 13 – south elevations) of earlier fabric.
