1560 is a crucial date in the development of Scottish education,
for it was in this year that the First Book of Discipline set out
its ambitious project of providing a school in every notable town.
This book, the result of exhaustive archival research and extensive
use of the Registers of Deeds (which offer evidence of
schoolmasters so described, as witnesses to legal documents),
provides an indepth and wide-ranging analysis of education during
the period, considered in its full religious, social and cultural
setting. The curriculum receives particular attention, with its
emphasis on music drawn out. The volume also presents a list of all
identified Scottish schools and schoolmasters from the Protestant
Reformation down to 1633. The late Dr John Durkan (1914-2006),
historian and schoolmaster and a co-founder of the Innes Review,
left a published legacy of hundreds of articles on Scottish
intellectual and religious life in the Middle Ages and Renaissance
and helped change the face of Scottish historiography. He was
latterly a Senior Honorary Research Fellow of his alma mater,
Glasgow University.
