home search help worldguide ... Postcards Scotland History Scotland was first populated by hunter-gatherers who arrived from England, Ireland and Europe around 6000 years ago. They brought the Neolithic Age with them, introducing agriculture, stockbreeding, trade, an organised society and a thriving culture. The remains of elaborate passage tombs, stone monuments and domestic architecture, such as those found on the Orkneys, reveal that this was indeed a vigorous civilisation. Later arrivals included Europe's Beaker people, who introduced bronze and weapons, while the Celts brought iron. The Romans were unable to subdue the region's fierce inhabitants, their failure symbolised by the construction of Hadrian's Wall. Christianity arrived in the guise of St Ninian, who established a religious centre in 397. Later, St Columba founded a centre on Iona in 563, still a place of pilgrimage and retreat today. Around the 7th century, Scotland's population comprised a constantly warring mix of matrilineal Picts and Gaelic-speaking Scots in the north, Norse invaders in the island territories, and Britons and Anglo-Saxons in the Lowlands. By the 9th century, the Scots had gained ascendancy over the Picts, whose only visible legacy today is the scattering of symbol stones found in many parts of eastern Scotland. In the south, Anglo-Norman feudalism was slowly introduced, and by the early 13th century an English commentator, Walter of Coventry, could remark that the Scottish court was 'French in race and manner of life, in speech and in culture'. Despite some bloody reactions, the Lowlanders' tribal-based society melded well with feudalism, creating enormously powerful family-based clans.

2. Hadrians Wall, Extent Of The Roman Empire About scotland history One of the greatest monuments to the power and limitations - of the Roman Empire, Hadrian s Wall ran for http://www.aboutscotland.com/hadrian/

About Scotland History: One of the greatest monuments to the power - and limitations - of the Roman Empire, Hadrian's Wall ran for 73 miles across open country. Why was it built? At the time of Julius Ceasar's first small invasion of the south coast of Britain in 55 BC, the British Isles, like much of mainland Europe was inhabited by many Celtic tribes loosely united by a similar language and culture but nevertheless each distinct. He returned the next year and encountered the 4000 war chariots of the Catevellauni in a land "protected by forests and marshes, and filled with a great number of men and cattle." He defeated the Catevellauni and then withdrew, though not before establishing treaties and alliances. Thus began the Roman occupation of Britain. By the time Hadrian became Emperor in 117 AD the Roman Empire had ceased to expand. Hadrian was concerned to consolidate his boundaries. He visited Britain in 122 AD, and ordered a wall to be built between the Solway Firth in the West and the River Tyne in the east "to separate Romans from Barbarians".

Cindy Vallar Scotland: History and Clans By Cindy Vallar Originally written for GWN - October 1, 2001 Over a decade ago, I started to write a novel set in Scotland, but didn’t know much about the country’s history. Since then, I read many books on various aspects of Scotland with particular emphasis on the events of the Rising of 1745. I’ve also visited Scotland three times, the last in August 2001 to attend the international gathering of Clan Cameron at Achnacarry, the estate of the Cameron chief, Sir Donald Cameron of Lochiel. Space limitations prohibit me from writing a detailed summary on the history, clans, and culture of Scotland. What follows is a general overview with a listing of web sites where you will find more information. If you seek books on this country, check out my research page at My Research Page where I have a bibliography of the books I used in researching The Scottish Thistle (a romantic historical novel published by NovelBooks, Inc . in April 2002). You’ll also find photographs from my trips with brief insights into Scottish history and culture. History The first people to leave clues of their stone-age existence lived in Scotland over 7,000 years ago. Evidence of the Romans can be found along the Antoine Wall. Near the end of the 4th century, four separate groups inhabited Scotland, which was called Alba: Picti, Angles, Britons, and Scots. St. Ninian established the first center of Christianity in 397 and over a century later, St. Columba arrived on Iona. During the 8th century, the Norse invaders came. They settled on the islands of Orkney and Shetland, many of the Western Isles, and the area known today as Caithness and Sutherland. They ceased to be a threat in 1263 when Alexander III defeated the Norse king at the Battle of Largs. After Kenneth Macalpine united the Scots and Picts, the lands of the Forth and Clyde became known as Scotia and he established his capital at Scone.

Perthshire Scotland Towns Perth Scotland Guide Known to the Romans as Bertha from the Celtic ' Aber The ' meaning mouth of the Tay. The city has been a Royal Burgh since the 13thC and was a Royal residence throughout the middle ages. Perth is often refered to as the Ancient Capital of Scotland on this account. Nearby Scone is the ancient coronation site of Scottish monarchs. All kings and queens of Scotland having been crowned there up until the Union into the United Kingdom. Today the site is marked by the early 19thC Palace of Scone. In 1396 the Battle of the Clans took place on the North Inch of Perth. This was a gladiatorial fight to the death to settle a long running feud between the powerful Chattan and Mackay clans. 30 warriors from each formed before Robert III. All Mackays died, except one who swam the Tay, to the loss of 10 Chattans. Legend has it that the Chattans were a man short so a local saddler was paid to take the place. He survived, having joined the winning side! James I was murdered at Blackfriars in 1437. This was his favourite residence. When assassins burst into his bedroom he attempted to escape through a tunnel. Unfortunately he forgot that he had ordered the far end blocked by a grill. This had been fitted to prevent him losing tennis balls down the uncovered exit!

One way ticket to America Dumfriesshire colonist Battle of Ticonderoga War of Independence ... World War II War of Independence A map showing the progress of the American War of Independence, 1777. This printed plan shows the country between New York and Philadelphia during the American War of Independence. The positions of the 'British' and the 'Provincials' forces are marked, as well as the sites of various engagements (indicated by crossed swords). The map was published along with the Gazette of Tuesday, 25 February 1777. Across the top is a handwritten annotation by 'S. M.': 'Here Leslie fell, 1.1 The gentle and the brave And Rush, the generous foe, Wept o'er his grave' William Leslie was a Captain in the 17th Regiment and second son of David, Earl of Leven. He died in action near Long Island. We do not know who might be indicated by the initials S. M., but 'Rush' may refer to Benjamin Rush (1745-1813). He was one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence and served with the 'Continental' (i.e. American) Army under the command of General George Washington in 1777. The plan featured here shows the British pursuit of this army and we can assume that Benjamin Rush would have been involved in at least some of the engagements.

One way ticket to America Dumfriesshire colonist Battle of Ticonderoga War of Independence ... World War II A Journey to Canada via New York A letter describing the long journey from Annan, 1838. This letter was written by William Knox to his uncle Andrew Redford and describes his passage from Liverpool to Canada. It is dated 28 October 1838, and Knox reports that the relatives who had moved to Canada some years earlier have overcome the initial difficulties that beset settlers and that Upper Canada is now quite peaceable and prosperous. He sends news of other emigrants known to Andrew Redford. The letter is full of detail. Knox warns of the dangers of trusting shipping agents, as many a traveller 'has had to stay in Liverpool for weeks after engaging their passage'. Land is expensive: 'we have to pay 4 dollars per acre for the land and 5 years to pay it.' More worrying is the possibility of sickness: 'Walter Watherson whose death I mentioned was over their when he caught the fever working at a Canal he just lived a week after he came to his Brother's House'. If you look at the original document you will see that to save postage or perhaps because he had run out of paper, Knox has turned back to the first page and written across it lengthways. This is called a 'crossed letter' and would have been more difficult for the recipient to read.

UK Phonebook GUIDE BOOKS Pitkin Guides London TRAVEL SERVICES Airport Transfers Car Rental A Brief History of Scotland: Introduction Presented by Peter N. Williams, Ph.D. On Thursday, December 18, 1997, Scottish Secretary Donald Dewar launched one of the most far-reaching changes to the British constitution by presenting a Bill to implement Scotland's first parliament in 300 years. The exuberant Secretary stated that the Bill was a more radical piece of legislation than dreamed of only one year before. The Scottish Parliament is expected to be fully operational by the year 2000, and the Bill itself should receive the Royal Assent during the second half of 1998 in time for elections to be held in the first half of the following year. Sovereignty would continue to rest ultimately with Westminster; the Queen would remain head of state for the whole United Kingdom and the Government in London would remain responsible for key "reserved" matters, including foreign policy, defense and national security. Thus, a powerful body of Scottish representatives would get together in a Parliament of their own for the first time since the Union with England and the abolition of the Scottish Parliament in 1707.

17. Scotland: Notable Dates In History His reign is one of the most important in scotland s history, extendingScottish borders to the River Tees, including all of Northumberland. http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/home/scotland/histdates.html

Notable Dates in Scottish History A note on time and dates in Scotland. Julius Agricola advances across the River Clyde fighting off bands of warring celts. The celtic tribes unite under Calgacus, but he is killed (along with 10000 men) when he meets the Roman army at Ardoch. The Pictish people were first mentioned in Roman literature. The name "Pict" is said to have come either from a latin word meaning "painted ones" or another meaning "fighter". Both of these accurately depicted the Pictish people. Roman literature describes the warring tribe based in Ireland as the "Scots". The Pict, Scot and Saxon tribes attack the Romans in London and plunder their treasures. The Scots leave Ireland and build their kingdom of Dalriada in Argyll on the West coast of Scotland. St. Columba died. Kenneth MacAlpin unites the Scots and Picts as one nation. This was the first step in creating a united Scotland, a process not completed until at least 1034 and perhaps much later. Malcolm II kills Kenneth III and becomes King. Malcolm II gains Lothian after defeating the Saxons at the Battle of Carham. Death of Owen-the-Bald, King of Strathclyde.
