February 19 1495 Sometime in February. In 1495, William Elphinstone, the Bishop of Aberdeen, petitioned Pope Alexander VI on behalf of King James IV to create the university to cure the ignorance he had witnessed within his parish and in the north generally. A papal bull in February 1494 founded the university; a Royal charter later in 1494 year recognized Aberdeen’s status as equal to that of Scotland’s two existing universities at Glasgow and Saint Andrews. George Keith, 5^th Earl Marischal (c. 1553-1623), was educated at King’s College, Aberdeen, where he became a proficient classical scholar, afterwards studying divinity under Theodore Beza at Geneva. The 5^th Earl built the tower house still extant on his ancestral lands at Keith Marischal.

1590 Robert Bruce, Minister at Edinburgh. King James [6^{th of Scotland]} himself and James’ court had such high thoughts of Mr. Bruce, that when he [James 6^th] went to bring home his queen anno 1590, at his [James 6^th]   departure, he [James 6^th] expressly desired Mr. Bruce to acquaint himself with the affairs of the country and the proceedings of the council, professing that he [James 6^th] reposed more in him than the rest of his [Bruce’s] brethren, or even all his [James 6^th]   nobles; and indeed in this his [James 6^th] hopes were not disappointed, for the country was more quiet during his [James 6^th] absence than either before or afterward: In gratitude for which Mr. Bruce received a congratulatory letter dated February 19^th , 1590, wherein the king [James 6^th] acknowledgeth, “He [James 6^th]   would be obligated to him [Bruce] all his [James 6^th] life for the pains he [Bruce] had taken in his [James 6^th] absence to keep his [James 6^th]   subjects in good order.” Yea, it is well known that the king [James 6^th]   had that esteem for Mr. Bruce, that, upon a certain time before many witnesses, he [James 6^th]   gave him [Bruce] this testimony, 1596 That he [James 6^th]   judged him [Bruce] worthy of the half of his [James 6^th]   kingdom; but he [James 6^th]   proved in this, as in others of his [James 6^th] fair promises, no slave to his word, for not many year’s after he [James 6^th] obliged this good man, for his [Bruce] faithfulness, to depart and leave the kingdom. [Bruce believed James’ description of the Gowrie conspiracy [1600]to be false, i.e. the King was a ‘li-ar, li-ar, pants on fi-ar.’] Biographia Scoticana: OR, A

The oldest known lunar calendar was found in Scotland; it dates back thousands of years. The site “also aligns on the south east horizon and a prominent topographic point associated with sunrise on the midwinter solstice. In doing so the monument anticipates problems associated with simple lunar calendars by providing an annual astronomic correction in order to maintain the link between the passage of time indicated by the Moon, the asynchronous solar year, and the associated seasons.”
