Killearn (Scottish Gaelic: Cill Earnain, meaning "Church of Ernan") is a small village of approximately 1700 people in the Stirling council area of Scotland. The village name stems from the Gaelic Cill Earnain, meaning Ernan's Church;^[1] the Ernan in question presumably being one of the canonised individuals of that name who were both relatives and followers of St Columba. (Churches elsewhere in Scotland and Ireland are also dedicated to St Ernan, including St Ernan's Kirk, Aridhglas, Isle of Mull).^[2]

The village is located approximately 15 miles (24.1 km) north of Glasgow, 7 miles (11.3 km) east of Loch Lomond, and lies on the northwest flank of the Campsie Fells; most predominatly under the shadow of the volcanic plug of Dumgoyne. The Glengoyne whisky distillery, the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, the West Highland Way long-distance walking route and the Endrick Water (river) are situated close to the village.

The residential special school of Ballikinrain is also located in Killearn Parish, and caters for boys with special needs from throughout Scotland.

The Church of Scotland congregation at Killearn Kirk falls under the Presbytery of Stirling, within the Synod of Forth. Within the Roman Catholic Church, Killearn falls under the Parish of Saint Anthony within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Andrews and Edinburgh; although the Catholic community in Killearn is served by St. Anthony's Church in the neighbouring town of Balfron.

George Buchanan[link]

Killearn was the birthplace of the historian and humanist scholar George Buchanan, (February 1506 – 28 September 1582). Buchanan belonged to the Monarchomach movement, which advocated of a form of popular sovereignty. Born at The Moss, Killearn, a monument, (Obelisk), at the centre of the village is dedicated to Buchanan.

Early life[link]

Harris was born in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, England, the daughter of Enid Maude Frances (née Campion) and Stafford Berkley Harris.^[2] Her grandmother was Romanian.^[3] Her father was in the Royal Air Force and as a result, Harris' family lived in India during her childhood.^[3] She attended convent schools, and later studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art from 1951 to 1952.^{[citation needed]}

Career[link]

Rosemary Harris, in July 1962, whilst appearing at Chichester Festival Theatre during its opening season

Early in her acting career, she gained experience in English repertory theatre (in 1948, she acted in Kiss and Tell at Eastbourne with Tilsa Page and John Clark) before training at RADA.^{[citation needed]} She first appeared in New York in 1951 in Moss Hart's Climate of Eden, and then returned to England for her West End debut in The Seven Year Itch which ran for a year at the Aldwich. She then entered a classical acting period in productions with the Bristol Old Vic and then the Old Vic.^{[citation needed]}

Her first film followed, Beau Brummel with Stewart Granger and Elizabeth Taylor, and then a touring season with The Old Vic brought her back to Broadway in Tyrone Guthrie's production of Troilus and Cressida. She met Ellis Rabb who had plans to start his own producing company on Broadway. By 1959, the Association of Producing Artist (APA) was established, and she and Rabb were married in December of that year.^{[citation needed]}

In 1962, she returned to England and Chichester Festival Theatre during its opening season when the director was Laurence Olivier; she appeared as Elena in Olivier's celebrated 1962-63 Chichester production of Uncle Vanya.^[4] In 1964, she was Ophelia to Peter O'Toole's Hamlet in the inaugural production of the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain.^{[citation needed]}

Returning to New York, she worked further with the APA, and then was cast as Eleanor of Aquitaine in The Lion in Winter, a performance that garnered her a Tony Award in 1966. Rabb directed her one last time as Natasha in War and Peace in 1967, the same year they agreed to divorce.^{[citation needed]} A little while later, Harris married the American writer John Ehle. They settled in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where their daughter, Jennifer, was born in 1969. Jennifer Ehle followed in her mother's footsteps by becoming a noted film, television and Broadway actress. Ehle and Harris played the young and elderly incarnations, respectively, of the same character in István Szabó's movie Sunshine, about a Hungarian-Jewish family as well as playing the young and old Calypso in the adaptation of The Camomile Lawn by Mary Wesley. She appeared in the rotating cast of the Off-Broadway staged reading of Wit & Wisdom.^[5] In 2007, she received the North Carolina Award for fine arts. Her husband, John Ehle, won the same award in 1972 for literature.^[6]

In 2002, she appeared as Aunt May Parker in the first movie adaptation of Spider-Man, reprising the role in the sequels Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007).
