Strathearn Perthshire Scotland History Ancient Times The oldest traces of people in Perthshire are of burial mounds, standing stones and circles from 3000BC. Given the widespread traces of these people the population of Strathearn must have been significant, however little is known about them. For an interesting perspective try Ancient Energy of the Earth in relation to the standing stones and circles of the Crieff area. Around 1000BC the first Celts known as Caledonians arrived. They came into recorded history by making none too friendly contact with the forces of the Roman Empire in 84AD. A great battle took place at Mons Grampius possibly somewhere in Strathearn. The Romans claim to have won this battle but only their version of events remains. Across the southern edge of Strathearn they then built a number of forts (Bertha, Fendoch, Strageath and Ardoch) connected by a line of watchtowers and fortlets. This appears to be the first Roman linear frontier (40 years earlier than Hadrian's Wall). Clearly the Romans considered the Caledonians to the northern side of Strathearn a significant threat. The Romans withdrew after a short time. Hadrian's great stone Wall, 170km+ to the south, was constructed 122-8.

Scottish Deerhound Club Of America -- History Of The Scottish Deerhound No sound conclusion can be reached as to whether the Deerhound was at one time identical with the ancient Irish Wolfdog and, in the course of centuries, bred to a type better suited to hunt deer, or whether, as some writers claim, he is the descendant of the hounds of the picts. http://www.deerhound.org/history.htm

Introduction Breed Standard History of the Breed Choosing A Breeder ... Reading List Resources Deerhound-L Chat List Useful Links Forms Contact Us History of the Scottish Deerhound The origin of the Deerhound breed is of such antiquity and the earliest names bestowed on it so inextricably mixed that no sound conclusion can be arrived at as to whether the Deerhound was at one time identical with the ancient Irish Wolfdog and, in the course of centuries, bred to a type better suited to hunt deer, or whether, as some writers claim, he is the descendant of the hounds of the Picts. Very early descriptive names were used to identify the purpose of the dog rather than to identify species. We find such names as "Irish Wolf Dog," "Scotch Greyhound," "Rough Greyhound," "Highland Deerhound." Dr. Caius, in his book Of Englishe Dogges (1576) speaking of Greyhounds, relates: "Some are of the greater sorte, some of a lesser; some are smoothe skynned and some curled, the bigger therefore are appointed to hunt the bigger beastes, the buck, the hart, the doe." All this is relatively unimportant when we can definitely identify the breed as Deerhounds as early as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. From there on the term Deerhound has been applied to the breed, which of all dogs has been found best suited for the pursuit and killing of the deer.

Who Were the Real Celts? Ancient History Celtic v Rangers - The Traditional View of Celtic History The traditional historical view of the demise of the Celts has the Roman legions blasting their way across Europe, massacring the Celtic tribes as they went and everywhere obliterating the traditional Celtic way of life. Everywhere that is except in plucky Ireland and obdurate Scotland whose populations remained invincible to the last - with eventually the great Hadrian admitting defeat and building a wall beyond which no civilised Roman would dream of venturing. The Roman way of life completely wiped out the Celtic traditions in England, and when indolence and excess finally caused the collapse of Roman Britain, and the legions left, the void was filled by marauding German bands of Angles and Saxons who came across the North Sea and pushed the remnants of Celtic England back into the western hills where they became Welsh and incomprehensible. Meanwhile, an Irish Celtic tribe called the Scotti liked the look of Islay and the green hills of Kintyre and Knapdale, and either thrashed the native Epidii, or more likely ravished their daughters and purloined their land. They formed the ancient Kingdom of Dalraida and eventually, through a series of wars with the remnant Scottish Celts (the Picts and others) united Celtic Scotland and formed Glasgow Celtic football club The Angles and Saxons however had grabbed Ayrshire, the Borders and the Central belt and set up Glasgow Rangers football club. These superficial religious and ethnic differences are swept aside in the modern world, as Scots of every shape, size and orientation come together at frequent intervals to form the Tartan Army which cheerfully wanders the globe to witness the glorious defeats of our national team.

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? Where did they and their language come from, and whom did they find when they arrived in the British Isles? Celts Romans Germans Ancient history ... , click here.] The Venerable Bede, in his Historia Ecclesiastica (written in Latin 735-739 AD) says that there were four peoples (languages) on the island: Picts, Scots, Angles, and Britons. The Scots were Celts who had come from Ireland in the 5 th century; the British were the Celts from Manchester; the Angles, a generic term of the time including Angles, Saxons and Jutes, were the Germanic peoples from the continent; and the Picts. The Celts The Celtic speaking tribes emerged in central Europe around 3000 years ago. They dominated southern Germany and the northern Alps in the 1

Home About Orkney History Tradition ... Awards The Picts The language of the Picts One of the great mysteries surrounding the Picts, and one which has stimulated the most discussion and argument over the centuries, is the language they spoke. According to the few surviving historical references relating to their language, the Picts spoke a language of their own - different to the languages spoken by the other people of Britain. In his A History of the English Church and People , the venerable Bede wrote that at the time (early eighth century AD) there were five languages in Britain - English, British, Scots (Gaelic) and Pictish. But like the good churchman he was, he added "all are united in their study of God's truth by the fifth - Latin - which has become a common medium through the study of the Scriptures." Admonan's Life of Columba seems to back this up as it states that when Columba visited the court of the Pictish high-king Brude on the River Ness he needed a translator. This seems to imply that the Pictish language was different to the Scots/Irish Gaelic spoken by Columba.

Ancient History of the City Although the origin of the "ancient and famous city of Carlisle," is lost in the uncertainties of antiquity, historians are agreed that it was a place of importance in the time of the Romans. Its ancient British name is supposed to have been Llugyda-gwa l, which meant the Army by the Wall ; the Romans called it Luguvallum, and in Bede's life of St. Cuthbert, it is called Luguballa. Whitaker says that Lugu-vall-ium signifies forts on the water . The Roman name Luguvallum was afterwards abbreviated by the Saxons to "Luell," which, added to the Saxon word Caer , (city) became Caer-Luell , whence is derived its present name. Two of the Scottish historians, Fordum and Boethius, inform us that Carlisle, one of the strongest British towns, was burned by the Scots during the absence of the Romans, in the reign of the emperor Nero. "It must have been after this event, and probably in the time of Agricola, that Carlisle was fortified by the Romans, as a strong frontier town, against the invasions of the Picts and Scots." So durable was their structure, that notwithstanding the recorded desolation of this city by the Danes, and the many subsequent repairs of the walls, after its sundry sieges, much Roman masonry remained in different parts of it , till of late years, especially on its eastern side. During the residence of the Romans in Britain, Cumberland was preserved from the hostile assaults of the Picts, but as soon as they relinquished their possessions, and retired, the Britons became a prey to these relentless persecutors, who soon laid desolate the city of Carlisle; and, so complete was the destruction, that there was scarcely left one stone upon another
