Orphan date May 2008 A Stickit minister is a term of obloquy in Scotland , for a candidate for holy orders who has failed to pass the necessary examination, or to give satisfaction before whom he preached the probationary sermon . The Scottish Gaelic equivalent is ministear maide . There are two possible origins, firstly, as the Scottish Gaelic version maide implies, that the minister is wooden and stick like, or alternatively that it refers to hesitancy, or sticking . stickit is the Scots language Lowland Scots for stuck . John Jamieson quotes an example Puir lad The first time he tried to preach, he stickit his sermon , and further glosses A speech is stickit when the speaker hesitates and is unable to proceed . The term is still in minor use, but is becoming extinct. The stickit minister was a staple of Scottish literature during the 18th and 19th centuries, the most notable example being S. R. Crockett s short story, The Stickit Minister , published in 1893. A common theme of this work is the humanity of Christianity. The stories reveal both good and bad examples of ministers and their behaviour and deal with the role of faith in confronting hypocrisy, in others and oneself. The life of a minister is described in a considerate manner. The term is not related to the Religion of the Yellow Stick .

Unreferenced date December 2009 History of Scotland The historiography of Scotland refers to the sources and critical methods used by scholars to come to an understanding of the history of Scotland . Scottish historiography begins with Chronicle s of the Picts and Gaels Scots , many of them written by monks in Latin . The first to adopt a critical approach to organising this material was also a monk, Andrew of Wyntoun in the 14th century. His clerical connections gave him access to sources in monastery monasteries across Scotland, England and beyond, and his educated background perhaps fuelled his critical spirit. Nevertheless, he wrote his chronicle in a poetic format and at the behest of patrons. He begins his tale with the creation of angels. Nevertheless, his later volumes closer to his own time are still a prime source for modern historians. The critical spirit was taken forward by the Paris based philosopher and historian John Mair , who weeded out many of the fabulous aspects of the story. Following him, the first Principal of Aberdeen University , Hector Boece further developed the evidence based and critical approach. Bishop John Lesley , not only a scholar but, as a minister government minister of the Great Officer of State Scottish Crown , with unrivaled access to source materials, laid the foundations for modern historiography. The disputes of the Scottish Reformation Reformation sharpened critical approaches on all sides, while the humanistic concern for ancient sources saw particular attention being devoted to the collection, conservation and organisation of historical evidence.
