Gullane or Golyn gave the name to the parish of Dirleton long ago, and in the centre of the old churchyard may still be seen, ivy-grown and neglected, the ruins of the Parish Church, in its day one of the most interesting in Scot- land. By Act of Parliament, 23rd Oct. 1612, Viscount Fenton, Lord Dirleton, with consent of the Presbytery and " parochiners," was authorised to demolish and cast down the kirk of Gullane, and transport all the material of said kirk to Dirleton, which was "ane flourishing towne" and more convenient for the parochiners, whereas Gullane Kirk was at the "outsyde of the haill parochin," and both kirk and manse were " continewallie overblawn with sea sand." In 1633 the manse also was placed at Dirleton. The old Gullane manse or vicarage is still visible in its original form. The kirk at Gullane was dedicated to St Andrew as far back as the ninth century.] JAMES CAESAR, born Tinwald, Dum- 1901 friesshire, 16th May 1871, son of John C. and Elizabeth Crockett ; educated at Tinwald School, Dumfries Academy, Edinburgh and Glasgow Univs. ; M.A. (1893) ; licen. by Presb. of Dumfries 1st May 1895 ; assistant at Dunnottar and Inveresk ; app. to Gullane Chapel 1st Nov. 1898; ord. 11th April 1901; ind. as first min. 12th Jan. 1904.

He was educated at St Andrews, afterwards going to Paris, where he distinguished himself highly, ultimately becoming Professor of Oriental languages. He returned to Scotland, and in 1548 had license to go to France with James Stewart, Commendator of St Andrews (afterwards Earl of Moray). In 1552 the Commendator granted him a pension of £50 a year from the rents of the Kirk of Leuchars (Beg. Sec. Sig., xxxii., 34). He was Prebendary of Pitcoks (Stenton) in the College Kirk of Dunbar in 1566, but had probably held that appointment for some time before. Having joined the Protestant party he became the first min. of this parish about 1562. With Thomas Hepburn, DavidLind- say, and John Craig he was appointed to supply the unplanted kirks of the Merse, and his name was mentioned for the super- intendency of Jedburgh, 29th Dec. 1562. The chaplaincy of the Trinity Aisle was granted to him, 29th Sept. 1563. He died in 1568.
