| Abstract: | After the Union of the Crowns, in 1603, when James VI of Scotland also became James I of England, the royal court was removed to Westminster. Many Canongate people considered this to be a loss of status. Indeed, the residents petitioned the Privy Council in 1629 over their perceived poverty after the Crown's departure. The Privy Council was regularly meeting in the capital, however, and although crown and immediate court had largely departed, Canongate was, in reality by no means an abandoned town. This chapter considers James VI and the royal visit to Holyrood Palace in 1617, Charles I's coronation, his visit to the Canongate, Civil War and the Commonwealth, life in 17th-century Canongate and concludes with the great reconstruction of Holyrood, 1671-8. | ||||
