Excited to speak on behalf of the @ScotCouncil team and share some of my research into the often mysterious mess that lurks beneath the neat and tidy Privy Council Registers…

Interesting (I hope) for fellow fans of James Stewart of Goodtrees (1635-1713): many of #PrivyCouncil's endmost C18th meetings were held in his lodgings rather than Holyroodhouse. Imo, this speaks to the increasing volume of govt business dumped @ Lord Advocate's door after 1692.

Have said it before, but work I've being doing today has reminded me: the blasphemy trial of Thomas Aikenhead (1696-7) was one of the weirdest Scottish criminal trials in the whole of the early modern period. Bizarre and unprecedented from start to finish.

“Margaret Kay, a Horsewoman” Named among 30 horsemen and footmen cited as witnesses before Privy Council in 1701. How usual was this?

Lots of decreets of deprivation of parish ministers by the @ScotCouncil in autumn 1689. Was something going on?
