http://www.scottishbaptist.org.uk/main/about/history.html

Extractions: a bout us l ocation ... uestbook Page Last Modified: 01 April 2004 22:01:57 It is mainly through the personality, loyalty and devotion to God of a host of individual men and women that Baptist witness has grown and developed over nearly four centuries. Here is the story of some of these people.... Among Oliver Cromwell's troops arriving in Scotland in the mid 17th century, were many Baptist soldiers who used their influence to establish small churches in Leith, Perth, Cupar, Ayr and Aberdeen. When the army withdrew, these churches disappeared, and for the next 100 years Baptist life in Scotland ceased to exist. In 1750, Sir William Sinclair, landowner at Keiss in Caithness, having himself been baptised as a believer in England, gathered together a small congregation of tenants and neighbours who embraced believer's baptism, establishing a church which exists to this day. What does the bible say, was the cry of those who struggles to lay the foundation of Baptist belief and practice. The Kingdom of God, they declared, is a spiritual one, and therfore the Church must acknowledge the rule of God and should not be subject to the authority of the State. It must be established on New Testament principles, self-ruling under God's guidance, its practices dictated by close studt of the Scriptures.
The Big Issue In Scotland - History Repeating
history Repeating Back in the 1940 s when the box office returns for Community InternationalCopyright ©20012003 The Big Issue scotland Website Powered by
http://www.bigissuescotland.com/backbeat/348/history_repeating/

Extractions: Back in the 1940's when the box office returns for Universal horror sequels started to slide, the studio decided it would be a wheeze to unite their most successful characters in a new slew of combined sequels. Abominations like Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein were the tragic end result. Unfortunately, just like global conflict, massive economic recession, and the tactical deployment of nuclear weapons the cross-over sequel is another bad idea from the 40s that's threatening to make an unwelcome comeback. The problem with such proposals, aside from the fact that none of them will be troubling the judges come Oscar night, is that the characters being combined appeal to the same demographic. Shoe-horning them into the same movie won't necessarily attract more punters. In fact, wouldn't it be a better idea to make hybrid sequels to utterly dissimilar films? So, just to get the ball rolling, here are a few of my suggestions.
John Knox: The Watchman Of Scotland
An overview of Scottish Presbyterian history, concentrating on Knox's influence.
http://www.reformed.org/webfiles/antithesis/v1n3/ant_v1n3_knox.html

Extractions: Go to Antithesis Root Page Knox finally returned to Scotland only to battle compromise and Queen Mary in an effort to extend Biblical reformation among his people. John Knox returned to Scotland on May 2, 1559, when the political and religious climate was stormy. War clouds were on the brink of bursting. The town of Perth had become Protestant, and this provoked Mary the Queen Regent (Mary of Guise) to take some ill-advised actions. Mary summoned all the Protestant preachers to appear before her in Sterling on May 10, 1559. The Protestant Lords responded to her demand by assembling an unarmed army of nobles and gentry who marched from Perth to Sterling in support of their preachers. The Protestant Lords also sent Erskine of Dun ahead to Sterling to speak with the Queen Regent about the matter and to assure her that they did not intend any evil. The Queen Regent, wanting to accomplish her own end, persuaded Erskine to have the Protestant army remain in Perth while she reconsidered the matter. Erskine sent word back to Perth informing the Lords of the Queen's stated intention. The Protestants were divided as to what to do. Some believed the Queen was lying. Others believed that they could not doubt the Queen's promises or show contempt for the Laird of Dun by not following such instructions. The Lords decided to wait to see what further action the Queen would take.
Scotland, History, 91st Highland Regiment In South Africa
a fee of 1s. a month; and from scotland Lochnell busied himself withthe formation of a regimental band. Thus, nothing very decisive
http://www.argylls.co.uk/91cape.html

Extractions: The 98th Highlanders arrived at Simonstown in September 1795, as part of a force some 4,500 strong under Sir Alured Clarke, an ambitious officer for whom the conquest of the Dutch colony at the Cape was the one great chance of achieving military renown. But the luck was all against him. His Second-in-Command had already forced a landing with the advance guard, and had driven the Dutch off their only tenable defensive position in front of Cape Town. When, after a cautious and leisurely disembarkation lasting no less than ten days, Sir Alured faced the now vastly outnumbered Dutch at Wynberg, they cheated him of his great victory by running away after one ragged volley which cost his army one seaman killed and 17 soldiers wounded, 4 of them from the 98th. He made the best of a bad job with a general order thanking his troops for 'their spirited exertions and cheerful perseverance through every hardship' in terms which Wellington would have thought fulsome after a major victory. So the 98th had, technically, their baptism of fire, and settled down as the permanent garrison, to suffer for seven unhappy years really serious casualties from the insalubrious climate and the insanitary conditions in Cape Castle. They lost 11 dead in the first month; and they seldom had less than 100 sick in hospital.

Extractions: On 5 May 1795 the regiment embarked for South Africa to capture the Cape of Good Hope from the Dutch. At this time 15 of the 33 officers were Campbells and 2 of the others had married Campbells. But the required number of NCOs and rank and file could not be found in Argyllshire, the rest came largely from Glasgow and Edinburgh, Renfrew and Paisley, with a small contingent of Irish.

Extractions: Chains and slavery!" William Wallace Declared Guardian of Scotland (Enlarge) These words of Burns conjure up a vivid picture of the troublous times in which our forefathers lived at the end of the thirteenth century. After the death of Alexander III. The hopes of the people of Scotland rested with the maid of Norway. Her untimely death in 1290 left the country at the mercy of the English King. From that date until the crown was awarded to John Balliol, Edward prosecuted remorselessly his schemes against the independence of Scotland. The Scottish King, as a vassal, paid homage to Edward and, in return, suffered many humiliations at the hands of his overlords. Scottish nobles and gentry - many from our Borderland - were compelled to swear allegiance to the "proud usurper." However, this reign of tyranny and oppression was destined to be overthrown by one of humble birth. From the West of Scotland came William Wallace , inspired with the fervid patriotism to devote his life to winning back the independence of his country.

Extractions: New England, New France and New Spain were already established on this side of the Great Atlantic Roar" when New Scotland was founded by Sir William Alexander , and King James of Scotland in the early 1600s. At that time, New Scotland consisted approximately of the Atlantic Provinces as we know them today, and the Gaspe Peninsula. Sir William Alexander with King James devised a settlement scheme of granting the title "Baronet of Nova Scotia" to any who would purchase large grants of land in New Scotland (Nova Scotia), secure and settle those lands. These Baronets of Nova Scotia received their lands in New Scotland (Nova Scotia) during the ancient ceremony of "Earth and Stone" while standing on a plot of land deemed by imaginative legalese to be part of New Scotland (Nova Scotia). William Alexander, son of Sir William Alexander, brought out settlers to Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, in the late 1620s and established Charles Fort there. When the colony again went back to the French, about three years after their arrival, these Scottish emigrants were required to return to Scotland. See Founding of New Scotland (Nova Scotia) More than a century later, when the French and the English had finished their "tug of war" in claiming Nova Scotia from each other, and the English finally kept it, Scottish emigrants again began to come here. They settled in all parts of Nova Scotia. When the 1871 census was taken, the Scots made up the greater percentage of the population in Colchester, Inverness, Pictou and Victoria Counties. They also settled in large numbers in each of the other counties and became one of the leading groups in developing New Scotland (Nova Scotia).

http://www.dalbeattie.com/moffat/history/

Extractions: Roads and Coaches ... Into the Future Moffat was built at the point where two major routes through Scotland meet. It is not clear what prehistoric settlement may have been there, but certainly the Roman Legions came this way. At a later date, the early mediaeval divisions in the Border between Scotland and England turned the area into a semi-lawless place where even royal authority was flouted. The 'Devil's Beeftub' north of the town is a deep valley where cattle stampeded from England or elsewhere were corralled by the reivers. Tower-houses were built from the late mediaeval period by nobility and churchmen for safety from raids by warring families. The Union of the Crowns in 1601 saw the reiving decline, but it was not until the 1750s that it died out completely. With the land reasonable peaceful, Moffat entered a period of prosperity as a market and droving town for sheep and cattle, as is shown by the magnificent ram on the Colvin monument. However, this in itself caused such difficulties that the roads from Lockerbie north to Elvanfoot were remade many times until (in the days of Telford and McAdam) a good road from Carlisle to Glasgow was made, and a new route from Moffat to Twwedsdale built for Edinburgh traffic.
