	Barclay
		BARCLAY, ROBERT, of Urie, the Apologist for the Quakers, was born December 23, 1648, at Gordonstown, shire of Moray, or, according to one authority, at Edinburgh, but this is incorrect.
		Barclay’s name as the apostle of the Quakers was now extensively known, and accompanied by the celebrated William Penn and George Fox he travelled into England, Holland, and Germany, disseminating the principles of the Society of Friends, and was everywhere received with great respect.
		From this gentleman are descended the Barclays of Bury Hill in Surrey.

		The claims of the Barons of Allardice to the earldom of Airth, as heirs of the Grahams, Earls of Menteith, Strathearn and Airth, are well known to all students of the British peerage.
		The Allardice claims were further complicated by various claims of junior branches of the Graham family to these earldoms, as alleged heirs male of the Grahams of Menteith.
		Sir Robert, nephew and eventual heir of David II of Scotland, contracted (prior to the time he became heir, and at a time when he had little hopes of inheriting the crown) a liaison, without benefit of marriage, with Elizabeth Mure.

	Kilwhang or Stanehive - it’s a grand place
		In 1795 when Robert Barclay bought the land that lay between them, the Cowie had been bridged, but to the south, coaches had to ford the Carron and it was quite a hazard, especially in winter.
		Barclay drew up plans for a new town, designed on a grid system, with wide streets, a market square and a bridge to the south.
		A plaque has been erected on the house where Robert Thomson was born and in June the market square in front, is filled with vehicles, when the annual vintage rally is held in his honour.

		She jokes Captain Barclay had it easy, as he completed the task on peaceful Newmarket Heath, unlike the modern-day contenders who will be up and down the busy and noisy London Marathon route 38 times.
		She hopes to run one mile at the end of the hour and one mile at the start of the next hour, which she believes could give her a maximum stint of one hour 25 minutes of sleep before having to wake up to complete the next mile.
		Yet Captain Barclay was not simply competing against the ticking clock and the formidable distance of 1000 miles.

	Ian Mitchell Book Review - The Celebrated Captain Barclay - Scottish Sporting Hero
		Captain Robert Barclay Allardice was the laird of Ury near Stonehaven.
		But Barclay spent his money as fast as he made it and at one point was contemplating selling his estate, only he was so inefficient at estate management that he could not find the title deeds.
		He was a typical rumbustious gentleman of the period who drank, swore, got into fights, was suspected of cheating at some of his sporting events and narrowly escaped prosecution for a death at one of the fights he organised.

		Even 200 years ago one of the features of the sport sciences was the way their practitioners crossed the accepted social lines and did things in sport that elsewhere in society people were not ready for.
		In 1801, when Robert Barclay-Allardice sought the best scientific brains in the country, he was looking, at least on the surface, for a man who would help him win: nothing more nor less.

		Barclay was also forced to carry pistols with him to ward off the rascals who were trying to nobble him.
