41. The Pictish Pages / Prythin Pages persisted throughout my stay, and they revolved around the ancient picts. It is knownthat the picts most likely have lost a lot of their history and mythology http://www.candledark.net/silver/picts.html

The Picts were a fascinating late prehistoric/early Celtic people living in areas of Scotland. They still live there they've simply been assimilated by the Scots (from Ireland) who settled there and brought in their own language and many of their own customs. This is only the preliminary portion of the Pictish Pages here, and is *very* incomplete! Feedback, comments, and corrections are solicited by Jehana Pictish Awareness I first became aware (more than vaguely academically) of the Picts during a summer vacation spent in Scotland during the summer of '95. I stumbled into Pictish carvings in the museum in Edinburgh which triggered something in me. A few days later I picked a train destination at random, and spent an uplifting, amazing time in the town of Arbroath. On the outskirts of that town is a collection of Pictish stones, housed unpretentiously and simply near the church upon whose grounds they'd been obtained. Somehow, I felt that I'd made "connection", with that time period, whatever this means. (I'll base some speculations upon that connection, but I won't ever promote such speculations as definitive proof, I promise. I'm a scientist I know better.) These sensations and connections persisted throughout my stay, and they revolved around the ancient Picts. I've been reading and thinking about them ever since. (As far as I know, I have no Pictish nor Scottish blood myself.)

Chronology of the Development of Boys' Clothing Styles: Ancient Civilizations Figure 1.This recreation of a boy in ancient Greece is from a well researched children's book titled Ancient GreeceCome and Discover my World . The book features the lifestyles and activities of an ancient Greek community. It was published by Two-Cam Publishing Ltd, London, 1998. A wonderful book with delightful photographs and illustrations of boys and girls depicting the wear of the day. Here we see Cleon who is nine years old. He is a citizen of Athens and when he grows up, will have to serve in the army. But for now he goes to school, helps his father and play sports. Here we see him with his tortoise-shell lyre. At school he is taught to recite poetry and play the lyre at the same time. Although the ancient world is not the focus of HBC, some information has been collected on clothing in ancient civilizations. It is only basic information as HBC has not yet been able to devote much attention to this topic. We have found some images of recreations or moderrn drawings. We are very interested un finding actual contemprary images showing boys clothing. Unfortunately such images are relatively rare. Indivividual Ancient Civilizations We have collected some information on the history and clothing technology of several important early civilaztion. The first major civilizations arose along fertile river vallies which supported the first pritive agriculyure. primitiveActual information on boys' clothing is extremely limited, but we will add what ever information becomes available.

Ancient Scotland: Caledonia Figure 1. Early Inhabitants The Picts The one identifiable group which is know is the Picts, a war-like people who were able to resist the Roman invasion. The term Pict is Roman in origin. The Romans called the pre-Celtic people in northern Britain "Pictii", meaning painted people. This appears to have referred the Pict pratice of tatooing their bodies. The Celts referred to them as the Cruithne. The origins of the Picts is a mater of considerable historical debate. Some believe them to be Teutonic. Others believe them to be Gaelic speaking Celts. Some believe that they were a non-Aryan people. Another theory is that they were Celts allied to the Cymry rather than the Gael of southern Britain. Increasingly modern scholars appear to be increasinfly concluding that the Picts were a mixed group consisting primarily of the pre-Celtic people of ancient Britain. Although associated with Scotland, the Picts are believed to have inhabited much of Britain before being pushed north by the Celts The Romans Scotland in antiquity was known by the Romans as Caledoinia. The Romans after subduing most of Britain pushed north. Roman General Gnaeus Julius Agricola invaded Caledonia in the late

kinneil falkirk NS 977 803 HISTORIC SCOTLAND Introduction Kinneil today is a suburb of the town of Bo'ness (Borrowstounness) on the Southern shores of the River Forth, not far from Abercorn , and in modern times has primarily been the location of Kinneil House, one time residence of the philosopher, Dugald Stewart. Today, Kinneil lies in Falkirk District and is thus, strictly speaking, not in modern Lothian, but was once an important place within the kingdom of Gododdin. Click here for a location map provided by StreetMap Placename However, it figures at several significant points in the ancient history of the Lothians, not least as the location of the penultimate Eastern fort of the Antonine Wall in Roman times, which separated the Picts from the Romano-British territories South of the Forth. Indeed, the etymology of the name itself literally means "wall's end", with its modern Scots form deriving from Gàidhlig Ceann-Fháil , which in turn probably derives from a Brythonic form such as Pen-guaul . According to Nennius' History of Britain Severus was the third emperor who passed the sea to Britain, where, to protect the provinces recovered from barbaric incursions, he ordered a wall and a rampart to be made between the Britons, the Scots, and the Picts, extending across the island from sea to sea, in length one hundred and thirty-three miles: and it is called in the British language, Guaul. Moreover, he ordered it to be made between the Britons, and the Picts and Scots; for the Scots from the west, and the Picts from the north, unanimously made war against the Britons; but were at peace among themselves.

The Aberlemno Stone ©1993 Catriona Fraser Limited Edition of 100 "Venit et extremis legio praetenta Britannis, Quae Scotto dat frena truci ferronque notatas Perlegit examines Picto moriente figuras" The above words of the emperor Claudius perhaps give the only physical description of the race of people known as Picts who once raided Roman Britain, defeated the Anglo-Saxon invaders and in one of the great mysteries of the ancient world, disappeared as a separate people by the end of the tenth century. "This legion, which curbs the savage Scot and studies the designs marked with iron on the face of the dying Pict," are the Claudian words which give some insight as to the name given by Rome to the untamed tribes north of Hadrian's Wall. The Romans called this pre-Celtic people Pictii , or "Painted," although Claudius' words are proof that (as claimed by many historians), the ancient Picts actually tattooed their bodies with designs. To the non-Roman Celtic world of Scots and Irish and the many tribes of Belgic England and Wales they were known as "Cruithni" and for many centuries they represented the unbridled fury of a people who refused to be brought under the yoke of Rome or any foreign invader.

THE SWASTICKA: PART ONE This is a precis of information found on the use and meaning of the swasticka in various cultures and ideologies. The Swasticka has been called by many names: Swasticka: Sanscrit "su" meaning "good" and "asti" meaning "to be" Cross Cramponned: English heraldic term relating to angle-irons (crampons) Cross Gammadion: Greek, pertaining to the Greek letter "G" or "Gamma" (it looks like an inverted Roman alphabet "L".) Cross of St. Bridget: Ireland Crux Dissimulata: Latin "Cross Dissimulated," used as a Christian symbol by the early Christians to avoid persecution. (see below) Hakenkreuz: German "hooked cross" Jaina Cross: a swasticka-like symbol of the Jains of India. Pramantha: Brahmin (supposedly as some sort of fire-making tool, though never having seen one used as such I can't figure out how.) In order to discuss this symbol, we must first do a little backtracking, with -some- speculation. It has been postulated that the first method of measuring time was by the moon's phases. These are obvious, easy ways of measuring the year, and we find it, for example, in Woodland AmerIndian culture, along with naming the years by what happened of note that year. The female menstrual cycle seems to follow it, and that would tend to make the moon-calendar (and Goddess concepts) almost universal in hunter-gatherer cultures, and so it is, in the remaining such cultures on our planet.

ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison Issue no 43, April 1999 BOOKS Getting it all wrong about shipwrecks by Martin Dean HISTORIC SHIPWRECKS Valerie Fenwick and Alison Gale ISBN 07524-1416-X hb This visually attractive book is primarily a catalogue providing information about the 47 sites designated under the 1973 Protection of Wrecks Act. Each is briefly described and supported by one or more illustrations, usually too small to be useful. The final chapter, cleverly entitled Stern View , is a critical view of the working of the Act. Unfortunately the book is marred by out-of-date and inaccurate information, and these mistakes severely undermine the authors' opinions. They do make some reasonable points, such as about the deplorable state of certain notice-boards about the wrecks and the need for more information panels. What they fail to acknowledge is the significant progress made over the last decade as a result of pressure from the Joint Nautical Archaeology Policy Committee. These advances now provide a solid foundation for the sound management of Britain's underwater cultural heritage. The authors rightly indicate that a Government department (DCMS) may not be the best organisation to administer the Protection of Wrecks Act. However, it has been known for some time that as soon as the Government's parliamentary timetable will allow, English Heritage will take over responsibility. The book also repeats the common misunderstanding that designation `prohibits or effectively rules out diving' on historic wrecks. In fact, diving is actually encouraged on protected sites through a licensing system, although some important wrecks may not be as accessible as many would like.

At that time, the Saxons greatly increased in Britain, both in strength and numbers. And Octa, after the death of his father Hengist, came from the sinistral part of the island to the kingdom of Kent, and from him have proceeded all the kings of that province, to the present period. The more the Saxons were vanquished, the more they sought for new supplies of Saxons from Germany; so that kings, commanders, and military bands were invited over from almost every province. And this practice they continued till the reign of Ida, who was the son of Eoppa, he, of the Saxon race, was the first king in Bernicia, and in Cair Ebrauc (York). When Gratian Aequantius was consul at Rome, because then the whole world was governed by the Roman consuls, the Saxons were received by Vortigern in the year of our Lord four hundred and forty-seven, and to the year in which we now write, five hundred and forty-seven. And whosoever shall read herein may receive instruction, the Lord Jesus Christ affording assistance, who, co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Ghost, lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen. 51. The death of Palladius being known, the Roman patricians, Theodosius and Valentinian, then reigning, pope Celestine sent Patrick to convert the Scots to the faith of the Holy Trinity; Victor, the angel of God, accompanying, admonishing, and assisting him, and also the bishop Germanus.

Brief History of English Where did English come from? The Germanic language of the Angulseaxans (Anglo-Saxons), who began arriving in the British Isles in the middle of the 5 th century AD, developed independently of the original continental Ealdseaxe (Old Saxons), becoming what is called both Anglo-Saxon and Old English. English developed from there, more or less as follows: Anglo-Saxon/Old English Middle English (Chaucer) Early Modern (Shakespeare) th Modern (Technology) But who were these Saxons?

At this juncture, the Picts and the Scots with united forces made war on the Britons: who, being thus necessarily compelled to meet them in the field, and fearing for the event as judging themselves unequal to the contest, earnestly entreated the holy prelates to assist them; who, hastening to them as they had promised, raised their drooping spirits so much, that it seemed as if a powerful army had been sent to their succour; and Christ, by means of these apostolical leaders, aided them in the warfare.

The McLaughlin Family History Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland 379 A.D. - 1241 A.D. The following excerpts are Chapters 3, 5, and 15 from the book, The Ulster Clans, written by Revs. T. H. Mullin and J. E. Mullin, published in 1966 by North-West Books, Limavady, County Derry, Northern Ireland, and reprinted in 1989. Chapter 3 THREE SONS OF OWEN It has been said that Irish history, as apart from legend and romance, begins with Niall of the Nine Hostages, so called because of the pledges he wrung from nine nations. Niall was a tall, fair-haired blue-eyed hero of Gaelic blood, who became High King of Ireland in A.D. 379. A renowned warrior, much of his life was spent in predatory excursions against neighbouring countries such as England, Wales and France. It is possible that it was on one of these raiding expeditions that Saint Patrick was carried off from Britain to become a slave who herded sheep on Slemish Mountain for his pagan master. Niall died on one of these military forays to France in A.D. 405. He had eight sons, and one of these called Laeghaire succeeded his father as High King. He held this position during Patrick's missionary activity, and tolerated the new faith, although apparently he did not wholeheartedly accept it himself. He died in battle, and by his own orders was buried standing upright with his face towards his hereditary foes. Two other sons of Niall, Eaghan (Owen) and Conall marched northwards, conquered North-West Ulster and founded there a new state with its capital at Aileach, a prehistoric stone-built fortress on a hill near Derry, at the root of the Inishowen peninsula. The territory of Conall, now Donegal. was formerly known as Tir-Conall (the land of Conall). The O'Donnells were descendants of Conall. The territory of Owen was Inishowen (the island of Owen), still known by that name. Owen's clan later expanded into Tyrone (Tir-Owen, the land of Owen).

This page is kindly donated and written by Tommy Manson author of The Fife Post Web Site Read about and perhaps Join Save The Wemyss Ancient Caves Society (SWACS) East Wemyss, Fife, Scotland. Hi Folks, My name is HOG, join me and my friends JIMMY THE MOLE and JONATHAN explore the History and Origins of the Wemyss Caves HISTORY About 6,000 - 7,00 B.C. the sea formed a series of caves in the sandstone cliffs at Wemyss. The name of the Parish of Wemyss comes from the Gaelic "Uiam" meaning a cave, which changed through the Old English form "Weim" to "Weem" and finally to its present "Wemyss". In the ensuing millenia the land rose and between 3,000 and 4,000 B.C. the sea formed another set of caves.It is likely that man has used them from the earliest times as a form of shelter due to their accesibility and proximity to the shore.The symbols give us an idea of how long they have been occupied. The earliest symbols are probably the cup markings in the court Cave, which may date to the Neolithic or Bronze Ages, c3,500 - 1,000 B.C. The meanings of these markings is however relatively unknown. The main section of the markings fall into the Pictish period c400 -900 A.D. These markings are crudely drawn versions of the symbols carved on the stone slabs by the Picts living in the North and East of Scotland in the 7th and 8th centuries. Some of the symbols are representational, such as animals or birds, or diagrammatic representations of everyday objects such as mirrors, combs,swords or cauldrons.
