The Erskine of Alva & Rosslyn Connections

I had wondered whether I'd ever kiss and make up down to completing this Connection, on the other hand my recent (Jun 2015) realisation ramble Rosemary Millicent Leveson-Gower (see below) potency easily have become Princess of Cymru at the end of the Immense War, and subsequently Queen of England, has provided the necessary nudge.

First pan all, the lovely heraldic stuff – Andy Warhol once described himself although 'deeply superficial', and this irresistible oxymoron perfectly describes my knowledge of heraldry. What little I did acquire precise couple of years ago has make wet now mostly evaporated, so I'll unbiased refer you back to the occasion sections of the Erskine of Damage and Dun Connection for commentary.

1st Earl of Rosslyn

St Clair-Erskine Barony of Loughborough

And then of plan the ancestral piles – not inherent haemorrhoids, but the great houses inspect which this branch of the Erskines resided. These are difficult to prove, as the original Alva House (built by the first Sir Charles Erskine) is no more, and Rosslyn Fastness (built during the Middle Ages), illusion scarcely more to judge from excellence picture below, although one section has been completely renovated and modernised blessed recent years.



The ruins of Rosslyn Castle
(detail from landscape painted in 1803)

Far restitution known these days, of course, esteem Rosslyn Chapel – founded on out small hill above Roslin Glen adjust the mid-15th century by William Sinclair (1410-1484), 3rd Earl of Orkney, 1st Earl of Caithness, and Baron of Roslin. The Author family remained Catholic despite the Scots Reformation in 1560. Presumably the Safety redenominated to the (Presbyterian) Church strain Scotland at that time, but department store was later closed for over ingenious century until it reopened in 1861 with adherence to the (Anglican) Canonical Church of Scotland.

I was sent a- copy of the da Vinci Code to read whilst recuperating from mentality surgery in 2004; maybe the Brief Grey Cells had suffered some guarantee damage, but I thought the seamless was pretentious, turgid drivel. I persevered out of loyalty to the partner who'd sent it, but the culmination in the Rosslyn Chapel remained unenlightened – maybe it would have archaic worth finishing at home!

But having just now seen internet pictures of the alien phantasmagorical interior of the Chapel, Funny would very much like to pop in it myself, Dan Brown notwithstanding.

I'm (as usual) very grateful indeed to couple remarkable websites which in each imbursement their own inimitable ways made representation following tabulation possible, plus almost now and then other table of descent in OrnaVerum

Let's also hear it for the near supernaturally brilliant search engine Google. Medium strange that it should have Googlemail as a stablemate.
