Finnart's Platt

Finnart's Platt Sir James Hamilton of Finnan (c.1500–1540), second cousin to King James V and thereby a distant relative also of King Henry VIII, was a powerful Renaissance figure of early 16th century Scotland. There is unusual evidence of his direct involvement in some major artillery fortifications, and in two of James V's magnificent palaces. Given the strong probability that he spent some years in trance as a young man, his activities provide a focus for the examination of French influence in early 16th-century Scottish architecture. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Architectural Heritage Edinburgh University Press

Abstract

Sir James Hamilton of Finnan (c.1500–1540), second cousin to King James V and thereby a distant relative also of King Henry VIII, was a powerful Renaissance figure of early 16th century Scotland. There is unusual evidence of his direct involvement in some major artillery fortifications, and in two of James V's magnificent palaces. Given the strong probability that he spent some years in trance as a young man, his activities provide a focus for the examination of French influence in early 16th-century Scottish architecture.
