KIRKPATRICK OF CLOSEBURN

By the end of thr 800's Vikings from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark had began to settle in Scotland. They settled mostly in coastal regions arriving by sea. Eventually more and more arrived, creating over crowding, at this time they began expanding inland. Although best known for fighting they were also very good farmers and were no doubt attracted by the fertile land of the south west . They landed on the shores of the Solway firth, later moving inland towards Closeburn. The barony of Closeburn is in Nithsdale, which overlooks the only road north making it a very strategic place. The norsemen were becoming a very powerfull threat ,so much so that the king of Scotland moved his court from Dumbarton on the west coast to Scone in central Scotland ,to avoid their constant raids. Therefore it was nessesary to install trusted powerfull men in key positions to defend the country from the invaders. The reason they came here wasn't primarily for plunder, there was no land left in the Fjords to farm so they sent explorers to seek new lands. Before this time the tribe of Scots "the ALSANI " had been settled in that area from the 300's AD. They had come here from Dalriada in northern Ireland. Fierce warlike people, they had arrived while the Romans were here and settled in the south west on the Scottish side of Hadrians wall. Several other tribes also lived there, the larger the tribe the more resourses needed. This began competition for resourses and from this evolved powerfull chiefs or, Warlords. These warlords later would become the barons of the medieval period One such warlord was IVON, of KIRKPATRICK (ancestor of the Kirkpatrick's of south west Scotland). The lands of Closeburn were entrusted to him to defend .The church ,or temple lands of Coseburn was owned by the crown. King William the lion gave it to his daughter as a dowry, IVON's son (of the same name) ran the place .On the death of the kings daughter in 12 32 AD IVON ( junior) was" confirmed "in feudal ownership ,perhaps as an incentive ,to keep him loyal. Although he'd been long established there unofficially, It now was officially Kirkpatrick land. The Closeburn Kirkpatrick's lived and thrived there for about 700 years after this untill 1778 .They have a very colourfull history ,and proved to be very succesfull.They rose to greater power after the Scottish wars of Independence, from that point on they were always in favour with the Scottish kings, becoming more and more powerfull by aquiring new lands by Royal charter, or more commonly by marriages to other great families. Inter- marriage between the swelling "cadet " branches of the family ,ie ; younger sons of the chiefs ,who were given their own lands , greatly strengthened their position. They mostly filled high positions in Scottish affairs. They were made sheriff's of Dumfrieshire, and were always represented in the Royal house, right up untill the 1950's, when Major General Charles Kirkpatrick was aide de camp to king George V. The Kirpatricks were staunch supporters of the Stuart kings, however by the 1600's there were a lot of people re-aligning their political and religeous loyalties. The reason for this was because the Stuart's were catholic. Catholics were supporters of the Roman church ( governed from Rome by the pope) The Vatican was very powerfull more so than any king in Europe. They preached that god ruled, then the pope then finally the king's.They also were supporters of the "divine right of kings to absolute rule over their subjects. This, while suiting the purposes of the royals meant normal folk got a raw deal. Many powerfull men petitioned the king to break away from Rome unhappy at the power the vatican held over their sovereignty in Scotland. The king would have none of it. Home rule became an issue.By now the reformation was well under way. Protesters to the papal authority ( Protestants ) had already deposed one king. The crown swayed from catholic to Protestant, civil unrest was rife, barbarities committed on both sides. At this time the present king James VII began to consolidate his supporters by giving them Baronacies ,huge estates with hereditary titles, meaning security for chosen families for life .James Kirkpatrick became first Baronet of Closeburn in 16 85.Within 3 years ,1688, king james ,Who had returned to catholicism, was deposed , (his supporters were known as Jacobites ) William of Orange was crowned instead, this led to rebellion once again.

During times of rebellion it was common for chiefs of powerfull families to oppose it while sending a son to support it , or vice versa.This way no matter who won their lands would be safe by either denouncing the son or giving the land to him, sort of hedging your bets. This was happening as far back as the wars of Independence,when one branch of the family joined Wallace and Bruce ,while another joined the English. The culmination of this rebellion was the battle of Killiekrankie in 1689 ,a Jacobite victory. Although victorious ,the rebellion failed through lack of support and jacobite hopes were dashed. Meanwhile in Closeburn the chief stayed out of the rebellion, sending some sons instead, this was a time to survive. The first Baronet married 3 times and had several children, there seems to have been a rift in the family, them splitting up and going their own ways.No-one is sure why, all that is certain is 3 sons of this Baronet landed on the Giants causeway in c/oAntrim northern Ire land in anopen boat in 1690, where they settled and begat the Irish connection of Kirkpatrick's. In 1690 the jacobite struggle was still going on in Ireland , ending in the battle of the Boyne 1690. Perhaps these sons had been sent out in the rebellion by their father while he kept favour afterwards being forced to fly to Ireland. If so they landed secretly on the coast whether as rebels or refugees it's unsure. Why not at a port? Avoiding detection ??.the ports were blockaded by the government navy. The closeburn family home burned down in 1748 ,destroying most ( but not all) of the family portraits and documents. Finally the estate was sold in 1778 for £500,000, a collosal sum in those days. The Kirkpatrick's have since scattered to the furthest parts of the globe. So here ends the story of the Kirkpatrick's of closeburn.Below are some images of the ruins of the new Closeburn mansion (built 1685, burned down 1748).
