1497 – James IV’s commissioner, the Spaniard Pedro de Ayala, from the noble family of the Counts of Fuensalida in Toledo, concluded a lengthy truce with England. Before Pedro de Ayala arrived in Scotland, James IV had received several brief Spanish embassies. In 1489, Don Martin de Torre got a formal reception at Linlithgow Palace, including a play performed by Patrick Johnson’s fellows. Martin’s servants presented a sword and a dagger to James and he gave them gloves containing gold coins. Martin then departed to England with the Scottish Snawdoun Herald. Martin came to Scotland with a colleague Garcia de Herrara in September 1495. Unfortunately, their confidential instructions concerning Ferdinand and Isabella’s lukewarm position on a Spanish marriage for James IV arrived first, and James read them. Despite this poor start, they stayed through the winter, and attended Perkin Warbeck’s wedding to Lady Catherine Gordon. The Spanish ambassadors obtained a Latin copy of a love letter believed to be Perkin Warbeck’s proposal to Lady Catherine Gordon.

James IV of Scotland counted Pedro de Ayala as a friend. James sent Don Martin and Garcia back to Spain with two Scottish ambassadors, two fine hackney horses, five large swift dogs for hunting wild boar, and a goshawk said to be able to catch cranes and buzzards.

1762 Nathan Smith born. Died January 26, 1829. Physician, graduate of Harvard’s medical school, founded the Dartmouth Medical School, and co-founded the University of Vermont College of Medicine, the medical school at Bowdoin College, and the Yale School of Medicine. In 1803 Smith went to the University of Edinburgh where he attended medical classes for a year. As the only member of the Dartmouth Medical School faculty, Smith taught anatomy, chemistry, surgery, and clinical medicine. Smith emphasized experience rather than theory. Meaning, Smith did not bleed and purge (vomit) his patients. Smith favored the body’s own healing powers and attended to the patient’s comfort. Using these principles, Smith treated on the child Joseph Smith Junior, (clans Huntley, Hamilton, Mackenzie, Mack , Inverness) the future Prophet of the Saints, saving Joseph’s leg from amputation. A typhus epidemic in Sharon Windsor Vermont brought Dr. Smith over, while he was on his way to New Haven to start a new medical school. The opening was delayed until 1810. At Yale Dr. Nathan Smith was the first professor of physic, surgery and obstetrics.

1884 Glasgow town hall. Reform act of 1884. We wish that the franchise should pass but that before you make new voters you should determine the constitution in which they are to vote”.

2010 Scotland Mission: Everything is all Scottish at this reunion. HOLLADAY — It is one of the largest and one of the longest-running Mormon missionary reunions.

The all-Scotland reunion has been an annual event for 45 years and regularly draws 700 to 800 people, including bagpipe players and drummers:

Scottish pride. The prophet Joseph Smith’s mother, Lucy Mack Smith, was Scottish, said former mission President Thomas C. Fredrick (April 2010), “so half of the blood of the people who restored the church is Scottish.”

A favorite story is about the opening of the Scottish Mission in 1962. The first mission president, Bernard P. Brockbank, and 16 young men opened the mission, and the Scottish media referred to them as the “Mormon invasion” and the mission president as “General Brockbank.” Elder Brockbank’s response: “It was a million dollars worth of free publicity.” Within a couple of years, Scottish membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints grew from 600 to 6,000.

Jim Pingree, who served in Scotland from 1962 to 1964, had been the reunion leader for almost all of the 45 years.

Culture and tradition. All sang “The Song of the Clyde,” a tribute to the River Clyde in Scotland.

Several speakers talked about a prominent Mormon family of Scottish heritage — the “McKigh” family. I could not place the McKighs.

Finally, I had heard enough clues. It was the McKay family —as in late church President David O. McKay.
