Excerpt from Aberdeen Awa: Sketches of Its Men, Manners, and Customs as Delineated in Brown's Book-Stall, 1892-4 Thus there it lingered longest, suffered less severely than elsewhere in Scotland, and more readily revived. There in 1688 the Revolution settlement was not cordially welcomed, owing to the strong Royalist and Episcopalian element being in the ascendant. There in 1715 the Earl of Mar raised the banner of revolt against the Hanoverian dynasty, proclaiming the Chevalier at the Market Cross, while James holding his mock regal court at Fetteresso was there presented by the City Magistrates (of his own making) by the University Professors, and Episcopalian clergy with a foolish address. There in 1745, although the cannie citizens when they saw which was likely to be the winning side gave an effusive welcome to the butcher Duke Of Cumberland, yet only some months previous the fickle mob smashed the windows of those who would not accept Prince Charlie as their darling. Not for nearly a generation after the Revolution were the parishes supplied with Presbyterian clergymen, and considering that some of them had to be inducted by an armed force it is not much to be wondered at although the district became known as the dead sea of Moderatism, and that the 'deil's books' as playing cards were in Aberdeen shire not held in that holy horror as they were in more puritanic districts.
