    Extractions: General Cinema Industry Inventors ... Societies Scotland's History (by Bill Jardine) The UK was formed in 1707 by the union of the Scots and English parliaments, but the Scots and English crowns were united a hundred years earlier when James VI of Scotland packed his bags and went to London to take the English crown as well. Exporting the king was seen as a good move by the Scots, who called James VI 'the wisest fool in Christendom'. James VI was the king who had the Bible translated into English. His performance as monarch of the UK can be measured by the fact that each year on November 5, the population pays homage to Guy Fawkes, who tried to blow him up. Both countries have prospered under the union, which gave many Scots the opportunity to travel the world, usually as soldiers, to kill people they'd never heard of in places they really had no wish to visit. However, this made a change, since the only people they'd fought in the past were the English. Great Britain came into being in 1801 when the Irish were invited to join. The offer was one they could not refuse at the time, but a century or so later half of them decided enough was enough and left. No-one seems to know why it's called 'Great'; maybe it's because the addition of the Irish made it bigger and Great Britain sounds better than Bigger Britain. Scotland is actually the oldest kingdom in Britain, dating back to Kenneth Mac Alpin, who stopped the resident Picts and Scots from beating the living daylights out of each other long enough to get himself crowned king. It is also the only part of the United Kingdom to have always successfully resisted invasion.

    Extractions: Ruin of Tullich Kirk Click below for equivalent information on Royal Deeside site Ballater is a relatively modern town. It did not exist before 1790 and much of its growth took place in the middle years of the 19th Century. This is why two features of Ballater stand out - the array of fine Victorian stone-built houses and cottages and the fine straight roads that make up the village centre. Despite its brevity, there is much of interest in the history of Ballater. On this and the accompanying pages some items from that history will be related. Ballater web site

    Extractions: Hotel standing on site where rebellion of 1715 started Click below for equivalent information on Royal Deeside site Much of the history of Braemar cannot be separated from that of Upper Deeside but it is an ancient village which has seen many turbulent times. Situated in the heart of the mountains, near the conflux of the rivers Clunie and Dee, it also lies on several mountain passes that converge there. Today, the same factors that made Braemar strategically important make it an important tourist village. The robust Braemar Castle now makes a fine visit. The bridge across the Clunie offers a fine view of the wters below. Games oringinated for recruiting soldiers have now become the world-famous Braemar Gathering and Highland Games. A brief description of the history of Braemar is given below. More details can be found on the official Braemar web-site. See the green box on the left. Braemar website The first clearly recorded stronghold in the Braemar area was the Castle of Ceann-drochaide - the bridgehead, the ruins of which stand next to the Clunie by the Car Park. The modern spelling is Kindrochit but even the briefest exploration of the site suggests the meaning of the name, standing, as it does above the steep banks of the Clunie adjacent to the modern bridge.

Anyone interested in Scotland, it's history and walking with love this book. It covers a lot of territory and includes the pilgrims, the Roman Legions, the Jacobites, tinkers, drovers and today's hill walkers. The chapter on Women Walking is fascinating and I am delighted to include it on the Web site.(June, 2001). The walking tales of war, scientific exploration and commerce outlined have involved men. That women were capable of pedestrian achievements is shown by the fictional account given in Scott_s Heart of Midlothian , of Jeanie Deans_ barefoot walk from Edinburgh to London in the early eighteenth century seeking a pardon for her sister. There are many examples from real life to show that Jeanie_s feat on foot was not beyond her sisters then and later.

At his howff (or haunt) his favourite seat still survives, and some of his poetry may still be seen inscribed by Robert Burns with a diamond on his bedroom windows. The Globe Inn is an important historic pub, steeped in the history of Robert Burns and Dumfries.

    Extractions: © VisitScotland/SCOTTISH VIEWPOINT The Scottish Crown has a rich and complex history. From a number of local rulers governing separate territories and peoples, a single king emerged by the beginning of the twelfth century to govern most of what is today's Scotland. The thirteenth century was a time of instability for the Scottish Crown in the face of internal fighting and the Wars of Independence with England. A sense of nationhood and a stable monarchical succession really developed from the fourteenth century onwards, culminating in the Stewart dynasty. In 1603 a member of this dynasty, King James VI, succeeded to the English Crown. The Union of the Crowns was followed by the Union of the Parliaments in 1707. Although a new Scottish Parliament now determines much of Scotland's legislation, the two Crowns remain united under a single Sovereign, the present Queen. Silver penny of David I

79. An Early History
    Cheesemaking in scotland An Early history.  
    http://www.ebs.hw.ac.uk/SDA/cheese1.html
    
    Extractions: ALTHOUGH Scotland has a pre-history of farming that extends back to around 4000 BC, it is unlikely that the skills of making cheese existed to any extent during that period. Certainly, the first settlers appear to have come from Central Europe, up through what is today Yorkshire and along the east coast of Scotland to the fertile areas in the Moray firth. Further settlers used the western seaways to settle in Argyllshire and the Outer Isles, moving on to northern Scotland, Orkney and Shetland. They brought with them wheat and barley, bred cattle, sheep and goats, and had the ability to clear large tracts of woodland to establish grassland areas and for cereal growing. Nevertheless, the many hill forts and broch towers that remain today show that the communities were far from settled and reflect the uncertainty of the times in which they lived. In effect Scotland was very much on the periphery of things - geographically and culturally. Cheesemaking as we know it in Scotland today is basically a European development of skills acquired from the 'Fertile Crescent', the area of land between the Euphrates and Tigris in Iraq.
