	Traquair House Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		In 1695, Traquair house as you see it today was completed with the addition of the two side wings, the courtyard and the railing at the front, and the terraces at the rear.
		The 4th Earl of Traquair was imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle in the early 1700s as a Jacobite sympathiser and the family were involved in the cause during the 1715 uprising.
		Traquair is a house that, despite a very long and eventful history, can lay claim to no ghosts: so a spooky cellar has been established to compensate.

	Traquair, Ramsay
		Traquair, Ramsay, architect and educator (b at Edinburgh, Scot 29 Mar 1874; d at Guysborough, NS 26 Aug 1952).

	Ramsay Traquair: the Architectural Heritage of Quebec
		Ramsay Traquair was prolific in lecturing from 1925 to 1947, as well as publishing and recording the old architecture of Quebec.
		Since Ramsay Traquair contributed a significant body of knowledge on the historic aspects of architecture in French Canada, it was quite fitting that upon his retirement he was presented an early 18th century French Canadian cupboard.
		Traquair also provided a list of the silversmiths in Quebec from 1656-1850, with several extending past that date as recently as 1939, and illustrated markings found on silver arranged alphabetically (icon-silversmith-region-date-item).

	The Stewarts of Traquair
		The house of Traquair consists of a tower of remote antiquity, to which considerable additions were made in the reign of Charles I. by the powerful Earl who held the office of High Treasurer of Scotland under that monarch.
		Traquair was one of the principal objects of popular indignation, and one of the first to suffer from its outburst.
		The meeting, however, was short and stormy, and as Traquair, with all his dexterity and eloquence, was unable to control their proceedings, he prorogued the Parliament in order that he might receive fresh instructions from the King, and did not again appear in person at their meetings.

	About the Sonnets from the Portuguese manuscript - Phoebe Anna Traquair - National Library of Scotland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)

		By late 1897 Traquair would be a member of a collective of women binders who met regularly in the Dean Studio in Edinburgh’s west end and were to exhibit in Edinburgh and London.

	Ramsay Traquair: the Architectural Heritage of Quebec
		Hence Traquair's home environment must have been nearly ideal in terms of stimulation for a future architect because his father was not only an MD, but he was a zoologist, a paleontologist and a curator of the National Museum of Edinburgh.
		When Traquair and Nobbs became architects at that time, everyone worked in architects' offices, doing apprenticeships, and because of the expansion of science and knowledge in general, they thought it necessary to be complimented by university education.
		Traquair described in his article "Cottages of Old Quebec" the evolution of the Quebec-style cottage: first it was influenced by France, then by Great Britain, and finally it evolved for the local climate.

	Phoebe Anna Traquair - National Library of Scotland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Traquair exhibited her crafts internationally from 1893 and painted the interiors of no fewer than four Edinburgh buildings between 1885 and 1901, including the chapels of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children (1885-1886 and 1896-1898) and the Song School of St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral (1888-1892).
		Traquair’s reading of poetry and related work in manuscript illumination was initially inspired by her close friendship with John Miller Gray (1850-94), first curator of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.
		From 1890 Traquair leased dedicated studio space in the Dean Studio, a disused church (a gap site since the 1950s) next to Drumsheugh Swimming Baths in Lynedoch Place, where her major manuscripts, including ‘Sonnets from the Portuguese’ and ‘The House of Life’, were illuminated.

		Traquair agreed to illustrate the canticle Benedicte Omina Opera.
		Traquair's treatment was considered modern as she peopled the walls with contemporary figures walking alongside great men from the past, with altar boys and clerics and with birds and beasts, whilst behind and between these earthly figures move allegorical and angelic beings surrounded by symbols which enrich the meaning of the verses.
		In 1873 she and Traquair were married and when, the next year, he was appointed Keeper of Natural History at the Museum of Science and Art (now the Royal Museum in Chambers St) Edinburgh, they moved to that city.

		Traquair has taken an complex and emotive subject by the scruff of the neck and shaken it free of historical dogma.
		Traquair is to be applauded for removing many of the myths about the Anglo-Scottish wars, and his work appears well documented, I would have to give this book a low score because it was the worst text I have ever read.
		Traquair also has a fine grasp of politics, the motives of all the key figures, and an understanding of the strategies that worked and the ones that failed.

	Legacy of Traquair
		Traquair received his secondary education at the Edinburgh Academy, then spent a year at Edinburgh University, and a year at the University of Bonn, followed by an apprenticeship as an architect in the office of Stewart Henbest Capper.
		Traquair was a scholarly person with great strength of character and at times a slight sententiousness of manner; he was a clear and good lecturer who enjoyed his loquacity.
		The orientation of the School during the tenure of Traquair - like that of his two predecessors - was governed by a pragmatic philosophy of architectural education which was concerned with traditional values and sound building practices in the manner that the three teachers (Nobbs, Traquair and Turner) were taught in Great Britain.
