Links[edit]

I have added a link to Fa'side on the Nigel Tranter page, but have not removed the request notice as I feel more links would be advantageous. Gwinva 21:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

HELP ! I've taken a few images for Fa'side, and I have uploaded one onto Wikipedia, but I don't know how to put it on the page, despite having read the relevant pages more than once :-( Renata (talk) 11:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That should do it. Any more problems feel free to give me a shout. Regards, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 12:22, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Jonathan, I added another photo :-)) Renata (talk) 14:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yay, you got the hang of it now! Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 16:07, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Origins?[edit]

"the monks of Newbattle Abbey granted land to the De Quincy family to build the castle" - Other way around, surely? Can anyone provide a citation? The only charters I have to hand are in the localantiquarians journal and suggest the de Quincys were lords of Tranent before Newbattle was established. 86.161.234.150 (talk) 15:15, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Found this: 'It was either this Robert, or a scion of the same family of the same name, who, coming to Scotland, received from King Malcolm IV. the grant of the Manor of Travernent or Tranent, in Haddingtonshire. This seems to have reverted to the King, in 1154, by the death of Thor, the son of Swan. The first mention of Robert de Quency occurs in a charter of Robert Avenel of Eskdale, in which the said de Quency is quoted as a witness to a previous grant made in the reign of King Malcolm. It does not appear how de Quency obtained the lands of Fawside, which, in the times of David I., were held by Edmund of Fawside, who was a witness in a grant of that King.'here http://www.electricscotland.com/history/articles/dequency.htm., with more info further on showing De Q was 'of Fawside' when giving Newbattle Prestongrange in 1189. I'm not going to change the content until someone confirms that the source is 'acceptable' to WikiP. 86.161.234.150 (talk) 15:52, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is fine, please feel free to add it, as long as its properly cited. Regards, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 14:05, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
