21. Banchory Scotland: History & Folklore Banchory in Royal Deeside, Scotland has a long history. Ancient stone circles, crannogs, death of Macbeth, Jacobite uprisings, battles and castles all http://www.royal-deeside.org.uk/Byhistory/

Scolty Hill Click below for equivalent information on Royal Deeside site On this page we intend to provide a brief history of Banchory and the surrounding area. A more general history of Royal Deeside is given on those pages (Click Royal Deeside button above) There is evidence that man has lived around Banchory for ten thousand years. Mesolithic flint tools, standing stones, burial mounds and hut circles remain in surrounding fields. The first recorded evidence of a settlement dates to the 5th century with the arrival of Christianity and the creation of a Celtic learning centre by St Ternan near the present day graveyard. Throughout the medieval period the area saw many struggles between neighbouring warlords and was in the midst of national battles, from Macbeth at Lumphanan to Mary Queen of Scots at Corrichie. The 19th century brought industrialisation, roads and railways. In 1804 the town extended westwards along the new pike road. John Watson, William Ewan and William Shaw were men of vision who created a new town which became a popular residence for wealthy retired professionals who followed in the footsteps of royalty. The arrival of the railway, constructed to take timber from local forests, brought more visitors and residents who could now commute to Aberdeen with ease. Local industries supplied the nation with timber, granite and lavender water. The 1960's saw a slow decline in traditional industry and agriculture, the railway closed and workers preferred to live in the nearby city of Aberdeen. The town's population reached its peak below two thousand residents and then came oil.

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.

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.

This Loch Ness Guide can visit your hotel for an evening lecture or hop on to your http://www.loch-ness.org/sections/lectures/lecturespages/hoponguiding.html

Hop On Guiding Hop On Guiding - Tony is one of Scotland's most highly acclaimed independent tour guides. His knowledge of Scotland's history has developed from practical research for the presentation of historical events within exhibitions and heritage centres he has created. He has not therefore applied for a Scottish Tourist Blue Badge. Tour operators visiting the Highlands can book him to guide their group at Loch Ness. If video facilities are provided on the coach then he will also include his popular LIVE+AV presentation during the trip. Loch Ness Specialist Guiding Tony takes you from the formation of Scotland by a collision between North America and Europe through to the reason why Scotland's hills are bare today. This is a great combination of continental drift, geology, natural history and wildlife. Regarding that monster: Tony conceived and set up the first professional exhibition on the subject of Loch Ness in 1980. He quickly discovered that almost everything he was displaying was incorrect and an on-going period of change and improvement began. That learning curve experienced by Tony is presented during the tour in a hugely amusing manner which takes the audience from the local tradition of a giant fish, through the heady days of the seventies and early eighties when a prehistoric creature was envisaged and into the nineties when real science has taken up the challenge. His conclusions will enthral the tour group which will be left with whichever monster they may desire! Tony can also organise boat trips and exhibition or castle visits at Loch Ness. Groups of fewer than 27 can take advantage of Tony's purpose built tour coach during your driver's rest day. See LOCH NESS TOUR in the top index.

LacrosseScotland Clubs in Scotland Development Coaching ... ..back HISTORY OF LACROSSE The modern Women's game Background - St Trineans school team, Edinburgh HISTORY The game of Lacrosse was born of the North American Indian, christened by the French and adapted and raised by the Canadians. Rooted in Native American religion, lacrosse was often played to resolve conflicts, to heal the sick, develop strong, virile men and to give thanks to the Creator. Contestants played on a field from one to fifteen miles in length and games sometimes lasted for days. The evolution of the Native American game into modern lacrosse began in 1636 when Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit missionary, documented a contest in what is now southeast Ontario, Canada. At that time, 48 Native American tribes throughout southern Canada and the United States played lacrosse. French pioneers began playing the game avidly in the 1800s. Canadian dentist, W. George Beers, standardized the game in 1867 with the adoption of set field dimensions, limits to the number of players per team and other basic rules. The first women's lacrosse game was played in 1890 at St. Leonards School in Scotland. Men and women's lacrosse were played under virtually the same rules, with no protective equipment, until the mid-1930s. At that time, men's lacrosse began evolving dramatically, while women's lacrosse continued to remain true to the game's original rules. Today, men's and women's lacrosse remain two distinct forms of the same game and are played under different rules. Current women's rules limit stick and body contact, and therefore, require little protective equipment.

Scotland Time and Date Scotland History Back to Top The Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC and most of Britain's consequent incorporation into the Roman Empire stimulated development and brought more active contacts with the rest of Europe. As Rome's strength declined, the nation again was exposed to invasionincluding the pivotal incursions of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes in the fifth and sixth centuries ADup to the Norman conquest in 1066. Norman rule effectively ensured Britain's safety from further intrusions; certain institutions, which remain characteristic of Britain, could develop. Among these are a political, administrative, cultural, and economic center in London; a separate but accomplished church; a system of common law; typical and distinguished university education; and representative government. Although often marked by economic and political nationalism, the Commonwealth offers the United Kingdom a voice in matters concerning many developing countries. In addition, the Commonwealth helps preserve many institutions deriving from British experience and models, such as parliamentary democracy, in those countries.

40. Scotland: Notable Dates In History His reign is one of the most important in scotland s history, extending Scottish 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.
