1305 William Wallace executed by King Edward I of England (Duncan and Malcolm’s descendant). The first to be hanged, drawn and quartered, in London. Born 1272. Or Smithfield. The head was placed on London Bridge and limbs exposed at Newcastle, Berwick, Perth, and Aberdeen. Edward King of England had placed a great sum on capturing Wallace, who was betrayed by Sir John Honteith, an apostate Scottish nobleman. Wallace was tried at Westminster Hall, London. Like Jesus’ crown of thorns, Wallace was crowned with a mocking garland, and charged with treason. Wallace answered ‘Ae couldn’t be a traitor to Ed Ward, fa Ae nev’r wae his subject.’ Tytler’s Britannica 38. Just made Wallace a martyr to Scotland’s independence for another 4 centuries.

1487 Mary of Cleves died (1426–1487) married Charles, Duke of Orleans; became parents of Louis XII, King of France.

1581 RUTHVEN, WILLIAM, fourth Lord Ruthven and first Earl of Gowrie (1541?–1584), Provost and Lieutenant of Perth, Lord High Treasurer, creating him by patent, 23 Aug. 1581, Earl of Gowrie and Lord Ruthven and Dirleton.

1582 Raid of Ruthven. Earl of Gowrie invited the King James 6th to his castle at Ruthven, under pretext of hunting; he was joined by the Earl of [TG32-166, Tales of a Grandfather] Mar, Lord Lindsay, the Tutor of Glamis, and other noblemen, friendly to the Regent Morton, and who were attached to Queen Elizabeth’s (English) faction. Blocked from leaving, James 6th burst into tears. “Let him weep on,” said the Tutor of Glamis, fiercely; “better that bairns (children) weep, than bearded men.” In the dispute between James Stewart (Stuart), earl of Arran, and the Duke of Lennox, in regard to their right to bear the crown at the opening of parliament as next of kin to the crown, Gowrie sided with Arran, and subsequently he signed a band with other protestant nobles against Lennox; they were led to take action mainly by information conveyed to them by Bowes, the English ambassador, that Lennox had determined to seize them, and charge them with meditated treason against the king (Bowes, Correspondence, Surtees Soc. p. 170). Thereupon Gowrie and other conspirators immediately devised the plot now known as the ‘Raid of Ruthven,’ by which the king on 23 Aug. 1582 was induced or compelled to leave the town of Perth, and go to Gowrie’s seat at Ruthven, where he was practically placed under the custody of the conspirators.

Arran and his brother, Colonel Stewart, on learning that the king was at Ruthven, determined to effect a rescue, but Colonel Stewart, with a strong body of horse, was defeated by Mar; and Arran, who had galloped by a nearer way to Ruthven, was promptly seized and placed under a guard. It was only the interposition of Gowrie that saved him from being slain by the conspirators (Melville, Memoirs, p. 281), but it was finally agreed that he should be placed under the charge of Gowrie in Stirling.

1588 sometime in August. Remnants of the Spanish Armada are circumnavigating the British Isles including Scotland. The West Highland terrrier breed is said to have been bred from dogs that came ashore with the wreck of Spanish Armada ships on the coast of West Scotland. The “Westies” were part of the ship’s complement having the task of keeping down the rat population.

Several Armada ships sank around the Orkney Islands, off the north east coast of Scotland.  Several Spanish seamen survived the wrecks to settle on the Islands where their descendants are to this day known as the ‘Dons’.  Also surviving the wrecks were chickens, the forbears of an island breed still known as ‘Armada chickens’. Another animal tradition is that the tail-less Manx cats came from a wrecked Spanish Armada ship said to have foundered on Spanish Rock off the coast of the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea; the cats swimming ashore and becoming an established breed on the island. The cats had originally come on board the ship in the Far East. The execution of Mary Queen of Scots in 1587 was the final incentive for the attempted invasion by the Spanish Armada of the Protestant England and Scotland.

1775 Manhattan Island. New York City, North American Station. ‘British troops withdrew from Manhattan, going aboard the 64-gun man-of-war Asa. At 11 o’clock on the night of August 23, Continental Army Artillery captain John Lamb gave orders for his company, supported by Alexander Hamilton’s [clan Hamilton] volunteers and a light infantry unit, to seize two dozen cannons from the battery at the island’s southern tip. The Asia’s captain, having been warned by Loyalists that the Patriots would raid the fort that night, posted a patrol barge with redcoats just offshore. Shortly after midnight, the British spotted Hamilton, his friend Hercules Mulligan, and about 100 comrades tugging on ropes they had attached to the heavy guns. The redcoats opened a brisk musket fire from the barge. Hamilton and the militiamen returned fire, killing a redcoat. At this, the Asia hoisted sail and began working in close to shore, firing a 32-gun broadside of solid shot. One cannonball pierced the roof of Fraunces Tavern at Broad and Pearl Streets. Later Mulligan would recall: “I was engaged in hauling off one of the cannons, when Mister Hamilton came up and gave me his musket to hold and he took hold of the rope. . . . Hamilton [got] away with the cannon. I left [Hamilton]’s musket in the Battery and retreated. As [Hamilton] was returning, I met him and [Hamilton] asked for his piece. I told [Hamilton] where I had left it and [Hamilton] went for it, notwithstanding the firing continued, with as much concern as if the [Asia] had not been there.”

1866 THE MAGGIE HAMMOND. 76 US 435, 19 L. Ed. 772 9 Wall. 435– Supreme Court, 1869. Pig-iron, amounting in the whole to three hundred tons, consigned to the libellants, were, by their agents, resident in England, shipped August 23rd, 1866, on board the Maggie Hammond, then lying at Ardrossan, Scotland, and bound on a voyage from that port to the port of Montreal, Canada. Natually the Case was filed in Baltimore.

The traditional shape of the molds used for pig iron ingots was a branching structure formed in sand, with many individual ingots at right angles to a central channel or runner. Such a configuration is similar in appearance to a litter of piglets being suckled by a sow. When the metal had cooled and hardened, the smaller ingots (the pigs) were simply broken from the much thinner runner (the sow), hence the name pig iron. As pig iron is intended for remelting,
