Synopsis
Excerpt from Tourist's Guide to Glasgow
Jocelyn, who seems to have been a man of eu lightened views, and interested himself to obtain from King William the Lion a charter erecting the town into an ecclesiastical burgh, and conferring on it the right of holding an eight days' fair every year in the month of July. This fair is still kept up; not, indeed, with any regard for the interests of trade, but as a great holiday. In 1272, Robert Wishart was consecrated Bishop. He gallantly supported Robert Bruce in the great struggle for the independence of Scotland, was thrown into prison by order of Edward I. And did not obtain his release' until after the Battle of Bannock burn. During his captivity he entirely lost his eyesight.
