'''James III''' (10 Julie 1451/Mey 1452 – 11 Juin 1488) wis [[Keeng o Scots]] frae 1460 tae 1488. James wis an unpopular an ineffective [[monarch]] awin tae an unwillinness tae admeenister juistice fairly, a policy o pursuin alliance wi the [[Kinrick o Ingland]], an a disastrous relationship wi nearly aw his extendit faimily. Houiver, it wis throu his mairiage tae [[Margaret o Denmark, Queen o Scotland|Margaret o Denmark]] that the [[Orkney]] an [[Shetland]] islands becam Scots.

His reputation as the first [[Renaissance]] monarch in Scotland haes whiles been exaggerated, based on attacks on him in later chronicles for bein mair interested in sic unmanly pursuits as [[muisic]] nor huntin, ridin an leadin his [[monarchy|kinrick]] intae [[war]]. In fact, the airteestic legacy o his ring is slicht, especially whan compared tae that o his successors, [[James IV o Scotland|James IV]] an [[James V o Scotland|James V]]. Sic evidence as thare is consists o portrait cunyies produced in his ring that display the king in three-quarter profile weirin an imperial croun, the [[Trinity Altarpiece]] bi [[Hugo van der Goes]], that wis probably nae commissioned bi the king, an an unuisual hexagonal chaipel at [[Lestalrig]] near [[Edinburgh]], aiblins inspired bi the [[Kirk o the Haly Sepulchre]] in [[Jerusalem]].
