William Schaw
William Schaw (c. 1550–1602) was Master of Works to James VI of Scotland for building castles and palaces, and is claimed to have been an important figure in the development of Freemasonry in Scotland.
==Biography==
William Schaw was the second son of John Schaw of Broich, and grandson of Sir James Schaw of Sauchie. Broich is now called Arngomery, a place at Kippen in Stirlingshire. The Schaw family had links to the Royal Court, principally through being keepers of the King's wine cellar. The Broich family was involved in a scandal in 1560, when John Schaw was accused of murdering the servant of another laird. William's father was denounced as a rebel and his property forfeited when he and his family failed to appear at court, but the family were soon re-instated. At this time William may have been a page at the court of Mary of Guise, as a page of that name received an outfit of black mourning cloth when Mary of Guise died. William the page would have been in Edinburgh Castle with the Regent's court during the siege of Leith, while the Master of Work, William MacDowall, was strengthening the castle's defences.〔Stevenson, David, ''The Origins of Freemasonry: Scotland's century'' 1590 – 1710, Cambridge University Press, 1988, p. 27: ''Register of the Privy Seal of Scotland'', 1556–67, vol. i, HMSO (1957) no. 810, 811: ''Accounts of the Lord High Treasurer of Scotland'', vol.11, HMSO (1916), 23〕
William first appears on his own account in the records in 1580 when he was listed by an English informant at the royal court as the "clock-keeper" amongst followers of the King's favourite Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox.〔John Strype, ''Annals of the Reformation,'' (1824), Vol. II part II, 325〕 He signed the negative confession whereby courtiers pledged allegiance to the Reformation. On 11 April 1581, he was given a valuable gift of rights over the lands in Kippen belonging to the Grahams of Fintry.〔''Register of the Privy Council of Scotland'', vol. 8, HMSO, (1982), 35, no. 210, non-entry of Irnecumrie, composition £60.〕 In May 1583, William Schaw was in Paris at the death of the exiled Esmé Stewart and it was said that he took Esmé's heart back to Scotland.〔''Calendar of State Papers Foreign, Elizabeth'': January–June 1583 and addenda, vol. 17 (1913), no. 362, 9 June 1583〕
