She Married Scotland’s Most Violent Man: Sarah Trevelyan
     
    Sarah Trevelyan, a psychiatrist, came from a powerful and influential British family. Her father even held an important and influential political appointment. Yet she had an odd choice for a husband; in 1980 she married Jimmy Boyle, a notorious Scottish gangster, who was serving a life sentence for murder.
    Boyle was notorious as the “most violent man in Scotland” and one of the most violent inmates in Her Majesty’s prison system at the time of the marriage. Boyle was so violent that he had once been held in solitary confinement for six years.
    Their marriage was a simple ceremony, yet it attracted the attention of the world’s press. Reporters from different countries attended the ceremony held in a village registrars’ office in Stirlingshire, Scotland.
    At the time of the marriage, Boyle was an acclaimed author because of his autobiography, A Sense of Freedom . He was also a renowned sculptor for work he did in the “special unit” at Barlinnie Prison near Glasgow.
     

Daughter of the Censor Marries a Gangster
    Sarah Trevelyan was a minor celebrity in Britain because she was the daughter of John Trevelyan, who had served as secretary of the British Board of Film Censors in the 1960s. The Board of Film Censors approved what movies could be released in the United Kingdom, and it had a profound effect on Hollywood.
    The so-called Hollywood production code of the 1930s was written to please the Board. American movie studios deliberately censored Hollywood productions so they could be released in the United Kingdom and the British Empire. John Trevelyan’s liberal approach to censorship eased production standards for sex and violence and ended the code. Movie director Roy Ward Baker called John Trevelyan “a sinister, mean hypocrite” because the censor allowed almost unlimited amounts of sex and violence in art films but censored commercial movies, such as the James Bond films.
    In contrast, Jimmy Boyle grew up in poverty in a tough Glasgow neighborhood called Gorbals and became involved in the city’s gangs as a young man. He was accused of three different murderers but was only arrested and convicted for one—that of a mob boss named William “Babs” Rooney. Boyle was given a life sentence and imprisoned in Barlinnie.
     

A Reformed Man
    Unlike most women that marry celebrity killers behind bars, Sarah Trevelyan actually saw her man walk free and lived a normal family life with him. Boyle was reportedly reformed in the Barlinnie Prison’s “special unit” through art.
    Whether art really reformed Boyle or not is a matter of debate. By 1999 he was reportedly receiving £10,000 ($15,674) apiece for his sculptures. Boyle might have simply found a more profitable line of work that didn’t involve the risk of jail time or getting shot by rival gangsters.
    Boyle was very successful in his new occupation; some of his works were displayed at Europe’s top art shows. One of his works,
