Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mvnimenta Fratrvm Predicatorvm De Are: Charters of the Friars Preachers of Ayr It is much to be regretted that so little is recorded relating to the history of the Order of Preaching Friars in Scotland. The original documents cannot be recovered, and without them we have little except tradition to inform us. According to the received account, the Preaching Friars were brought into Scotland during the reign of Alexander II. The continuator of Fordun, and the author of a chronicle printed in the Extracta e Variis Cronicis Scocie, give the year 1230 as the exact date of their first appearance. It is said that Clement, afterwards Bishop of Dunblane, received the habit at the hands of S.Dominic himself, and was the first of the Order in this country. He is probably the same individual who is mentioned in the Acts of the General Council held at London in 1230. He was elected and consecrated Bishop of Dunblane in 1233, and died in 1256. Spotiswood, on the other hand, says the Order was introduced into this country by William Malvoisin, Bishop of S. Andrews.
