| Summary | "Kirkcaldy of Grange" by Louis A. Barbé is a historical biography written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life of Sir William Kirkcaldy of Grange, a notable Scottish figure, exploring his contributions during a significant period in Scotland's tumultuous political and religious history. It examines Kirkcaldy's complex character and actions as he navigated his roles within conflicting political factions in Scotland. The opening of the biography introduces the historical context of the Kirkcaldy family, detailing their ancestral estate and their significance in Scottish history. It highlights Sir James Kirkcaldy's rise to prominence in the court of King James V, outlining his political engagements and challenges, particularly concerning his conflicts with Cardinal Beaton. The text also foreshadows the central figure, William Kirkcaldy—Sir James's son—speculating on his future endeavors and influence in the political struggle following his father’s legacy, specifically the violent and pivotal event of Cardinal Beaton’s assassination.
