43. Scotland, Aberdeen And The Northeast Tourist attractions, culture and history of Aberdeen and the Northeast of scotland,has a section on notable Aberdonians. http://www.ifb.net/webit/

Your Guide to Northeast Scotland Member of the Internet Link Exchange The Northeast of Scotland, with the city of Aberdeen at its economic if not geographic centre, has everything for the visitor or tourist - the high Grampian mountains, a coastline that ranges from jagged cliffs to sandy beaches, forested slopes, heather clad moor land, winter skiing and Victorian Royal Deeside. Aberdeen and the Northeast of Scotland play host to a range of International festivals, exhibitions. The surrounding countryside may appear to hark back to former days when the pace of life was very much quieter but the area is in fact home to several national and international corporations and is the centre of North Sea oil exploration and production. Significant population centres in the Northeast of Scotland include Aberdeen, Aboyne, Ballater, Banchory, Banff, Buckie, Elgin, Ellon, Fraserburgh, Huntly, Inverbervie, Inverurie, Keith, Kintore, Macduff, Mintlaw, Montrose, Oldmeldrum, Peterhead, Stonehaven, and Turriff. If you have Scottish ancestors we hope you will enjoy a brief look at the Northeast of Scotland, perhaps you’ll take a look inside the farmhouse kitchen and try some of the traditional Scottish recipes. If you’re looking for your roots then you use our genealogy resources links to help you with your research.

44. Friends Of Scotland - Culture - An Introduction To Scottish Culture Couple this with a culture that at the everyday level espouses the virtues of the roots of the current flowering of creativity and celebration in scotland. http://www.friendsofscotland.gov.uk/culture/scottish.html

12 June 2004 BST An introduction to Scottish culture Creativity and celebration on an international scale. "I am a citizen of the world." David Hume, 1764. Flowering Scotland Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries on Earth, but its greatest minds have always been outward looking. To the deeply inquisitive Scots mind, beauty itself is not the whole truth. The quest to understand the physical world has produced some of the greatest innovators in the fields of science, medicine and engineering. And the quest to understand human nature has produced some of the world's greatest writers and philosophers. A Festival nation The establishment of the Edinburgh International Festival in 1947 was a landmark in the nation's post-war artistic fortunes. Its overwhelming success with the international arts community's focus on Scotland has led, in time, to Edinburgh itself now hosting nine major international festivals a year and being known as the Festival City. And this celebratory spirit of international as well as home-grown excellence is today echoed not only in Scotland's second great city, Glasgow, but far and wide from the Borders to the Highlands and Islands.

12 June 2004 BST July 2002 Say hello to the first virtual newscaster. She's called Ananova. And she's just one of many examples of how the creative industries in Scotland are not just alive and kicking, in several cases they're 'alive' and kick-boxing! From Dundee in the East to Glasgow in the West the ether has been transformed by innovation. Money for new rope Dundee is a city that has the knack of re-inventing itself. Traditionally its fortunes were built on jute, jam and journalism. More recently it has become famous for the vast scale manufacture of ATMs and the publication of kids comics, featuring such irrepressible characters as Dennis The Menace and Desperate Dan. Given such geographical proximity, maybe it's not surprising that there should be a convergence of computer skills and storytelling to create a new digital capital. Dundee today is the world's largest exporter of computer and video games to the USA and has joined the Global Digital Cities Network to develop partnerships with other cities with strong digital media sectors across the world. Games in high places The creative industry community in Dundee can boast some pretty heavy duty chrome name plates.

Non-Graphical version Scotland's National Cultural Strategy SCOTLAND'S CULTURE A diverse but unique tradition Scotland's culture is dynamic and diverse. It has developed and been shaped over many years by the experiences of Scotland's inhabitants and their contacts with others. Culture is notoriously difficult to define. Creating Our Future: Minding Our Past has been guided by a broad definition, in line with that adopted in 1982 by the UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies. 'In its widest sense, culture may now be said to be the whole complex of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features that characterise a society or group. It includes not only the arts and letters, but also modes of life, the fundamental rights of the human beings, value systems, traditions and beliefs.' The creators of Scotland's culture A wide range of people have key roles in presenting and representing culture, including artists, performers, poets, writers, architects, film-makers, sportspeople, broadcasters, journalists, advertisers, commentators, teachers, historians, curators, archivists and librarians. The experience and history of all Scotland's citizens are the key ingredients which make our culture distinctively Scottish. Innovation: creativity in action Scotland's culture is dynamic and its capacity to respond to new influences and to integrate them with existing traditions has been an enduring strength. Many of the most recognisable symbols of Scotland's culture, such as piping and other traditional arts, had their origins in other countries. At the same time, ideas and techniques originating in Scotland continue to have an extraordinary influence throughout the world. The ability to adopt and adapt, allied to a capacity for innovation, mean that Scotland is well placed to respond to the accelerating trend towards globalisation while maintaining a culture which remains modern, distinctive and relevant to the experience of Scots.

53. Celebrating Scotland: A National Cultural Strategy scotland s culture belongs to all the people of scotland. scotland s culture belongs to all of us; let s all work together to shape it and help it thrive. http://www.scotland.gov.uk/nationalculturalstrategy/docs/csnse-00.htm

Celebrating Scotland 'We believe that arts and culture have a central role in shaping a sense of community and civic pride in the new Scotland.' This is a key element of Partnership for Scotland, the statement which forms the basis for the Scottish Executive's programme for the next four years. Introduction From Robert Louis Stevenson to Janice Galloway; Robert Burns to Sorley MacLean; Allan Ramsay to Elizabeth Blackadder; Niel Gow to Aly Bain; Mary Garden to Shirley Manson; Robert Adam to Charles Rennie Macintosh; Bill Douglas to Lynne Ramsay; Scotland's creative figures have profoundly influenced how Scotland and the Scots are perceived. Scotland's culture belongs to all the people of Scotland. It belongs to anybody who creates, designs or performs: Scotland's writers and painters, architects and craftworkers, musicians and composers, actors and dancers and, more recently, film directors and television producers. It also belongs to all of us who enjoy films and plays; who listen or dance to music of any kind; who go to a museum or an art gallery or a library; who visit Scotland's many historic buildings or monuments, or appreciate its architecture. Today's Scotland is a rich mixture of cultures, which vary across its contrasting landscape and according to age and differing backgrounds. As we turn a new page in Scotland's history, the Scottish Executive intends to prepare a national strategy to promote and develop Scotland's culture in the new millennium.

54. St Andrew - Patron Saint Of Scotland About the apostle's career after martyrdom, and how he came to be scotland's patron saint. http://www.scotland-calling.com/culture/st-andrew.htm

St Andrew - patron saint of Scotland Although Andrew and his brother Peter were two of the original apostles, very little is known about Andrew. He was a fisherman from Galilee, who went on to spread the Christian religion in Greece and Asia Minor. He is believed to have been killed by being crucified by the Romans on a diagonal cross in Patras in Southern Greece Some 300 years after his death, the Emperor Constantine was going to move the saints bones, and legend has it that a monk was warned of this in a dream by an angel, who told him to remove the saints bones to the "ends of the Earth" to keep them safe. Scotland was as near to the ends of the ancient Greek world as you could get, and that is how his remains came to be taken to Scotland. The monk brought the holy relics ashore at what is now St Andrews A chapel was built to house them, and by 1160 a cathedral. St Andrews was the religious capital of Scotland, and the goal of many pilgrims The saints remains have now disappeared, probably destroyed during the Scottish Reformation, when the strictures of Calvinism tended to wish to remove traces of Catholic "idolatry". The site of the relics is now marked by a plaque in the ruins of the Cathedral in St Andrews.
