The Church of the Friars Preachers of St Laurence, Stirling , commonly called Blackfriars , was a mendicant friary of the Dominican Order founded in the 13th century at Stirling , Scotland . The Chronica Extracta and John Spottiswoode alleged that the Stirling Dominican house was founded by King Alexander II of Scotland d. 1249 . Spottiswoode was particularly specific, giving a foundation date of 1233. These dates are possible, but unconfirmed by contemporary evidence. The Stirling Dominican friary lasted over three centuries. Robert Lindsay of Pitscottie claimed that it was destroyed by Protestant s in June 1559, a claim partially confirmed in a document of 12 September 1559, which speaks of the ejection of the prior and the destruction of the house earlier in the year. The possessions of the friary went into the hands of Alexander Erskine of Cangnoir, though on 15 April 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots , granted the revenues of all religious houses in the burgh of Stirling to the burgh authorities. Erskine however appears to have retained possession of this friary s revenues, while it is clear that the burgh of Stirling did not gain possession until 1652.

coord 54.867 4.442 display title region GB scale 50000 The Church of the Friars Preachers of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Wigtown , commonly called Blackfriars , was a mendicant friary of the Dominican Order founded in the 13th century at Wigtown , Galloway , Scotland . The Chronica Extracta said that it was founded by Dervorguilla of Galloway , who died in 1290. Perhaps because of the remoteness of Wigtown, the history of the house is extremely badly documented and obscure. It appears on 7 March 1297, in receipt of money from the fermes of burghs. One of its priors, Ninian Shanks, appears on record on 10 May 1490. The prior along with four friars grant a charter on 21 December 1560, the year of the Scottish Reformation . It was presumably disbanded in the following decade, its revenues probably being granted to the burgh , as was the case with other friaries of the time.
