Hotel standing on site where rebellion of 1715 started Click below for equivalent information on Royal Deeside site Much of the history of Braemar cannot be separated from that of Upper Deeside but it is an ancient village which has seen many turbulent times. Situated in the heart of the mountains, near the conflux of the rivers Clunie and Dee, it also lies on several mountain passes that converge there. Today, the same factors that made Braemar strategically important make it an important tourist village. The robust Braemar Castle now makes a fine visit. The bridge across the Clunie offers a fine view of the wters below. Games oringinated for recruiting soldiers have now become the world-famous Braemar Gathering and Highland Games. A brief description of the history of Braemar is given below. More details can be found on the official Braemar web-site. See the green box on the left. Braemar website The first clearly recorded stronghold in the Braemar area was the Castle of Ceann-drochaide - the bridgehead, the ruins of which stand next to the Clunie by the Car Park. The modern spelling is Kindrochit but even the briefest exploration of the site suggests the meaning of the name, standing, as it does above the steep banks of the Clunie adjacent to the modern bridge.

In the 12th and 13th centuries, Lowland Scots adopted the English language and English ways but the Highlands retained their Gaelic language and culture. The years from about 1300 to 1560 were dominated by warfare with England. The 16th Century In the mid-16th century the Reformation reached Scotland and the Roman Catholic form of Christianity was replaced by the more egalitarian Protestant faith. From then onwards religion and politics went hand in hand, with the more extreme Protestants leaning to radical political views, and the less extreme and the Roman Catholics tending to conservatism. Religious persecution became an unsavoury feature of Scottish life. In 1603, Scotland and England were united under one monarch when the Scottish king inherited the English throne from his childless cousin who was Queen of England (Elizabeth I). The king, and the centre of Scottish power, moved to London even though Scotland retained her own Parliament.

a bout us l ocation ... uestbook Page Last Modified: 01 April 2004 22:01:57 about us - history It is mainly through the personality, loyalty and devotion to God of a host of individual men and women that Baptist witness has grown and developed over nearly four centuries. Here is the story of some of these people.... How it all began Among Oliver Cromwell's troops arriving in Scotland in the mid 17th century, were many Baptist soldiers who used their influence to establish small churches in Leith, Perth, Cupar, Ayr and Aberdeen. When the army withdrew, these churches disappeared, and for the next 100 years Baptist life in Scotland ceased to exist. The Preaching Knight In 1750, Sir William Sinclair, landowner at Keiss in Caithness, having himself been baptised as a believer in England, gathered together a small congregation of tenants and neighbours who embraced believer's baptism, establishing a church which exists to this day. Defending the Faith What does the bible say, was the cry of those who struggles to lay the foundation of Baptist belief and practice. The Kingdom of God, they declared, is a spiritual one, and therfore the Church must acknowledge the rule of God and should not be subject to the authority of the State. It must be established on New Testament principles, self-ruling under God's guidance, its practices dictated by close studt of the Scriptures. Two distinct streams of Baptist witness now developed, one concentrating on church government and the other on evangelistic outreach.

SEARCH/LORG You are in Home Gaelic Scotland - History Menu About Gaelic Background History Current Status Language Sound Files Links Trivia Maps - Clàir lùil Register - Dean Clàràdh Sitemap - Clàr a' Làraich HISTORY Gaelic has been spoken in Scotland for over 1500 years having been brought over from Ireland by migrants who settled in Dalriada, an area roughly equivalent to modern-day Argyllshire. From this foothold Gaelic spread throughout most of the mainland and onto the Inner and Outer Hebrides, displacing the Picts and other Celtic tribes who were already in Scotland. Only Caithness, the far south-east of the country and the northern Isles remained outside "Gaelic" Scotland. As a result, Gaelic will have been spoken in most areas of the country at one time or another and it has left an enduring legacy of place names throughout Scotland. During the 9th century AD, the Gaelic leader Kenneth MacAlpin united the Picts and the Gaels and became the first ruler of Alba, an area comprising most of Scotland north of the rivers Forth and Clyde. Alba remains the Gaelic name for Scotland as a whole. Gaelic's zenith was reached between the 12th and 13th centuries but having been replaced as the language of king's court around that time it began a gradual retreat northwards and westwards as the Scots and English language pushed in from the south. This movement was exacerbated by official persecution of the language, commercial disadvantages and later by waves of emigration.

70. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Scotland The history of scotland is dealt with in the present article chiefly in its General, including modern, history BURTON, Hist. of scotland to 1746 http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13613a.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... S > Scotland A B C D ... CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan Scotland its own Church and its own form of legal procedure; and the character of its people remains in many respects quite distinct from that of the English. Formerly the three prevailing nationalities of the country were the Anglo-Saxon in the south, the Celtic in the north and west, and the Scandinavian in the north-east; and these distinctions can still be traced both in the characteristics of the inhabitants and in the proper names of places. The total population, according to the census Of 1911 is 4,759,521, being an increase of 287,418 in the past decade. The increase is almost entirely in the large cities and towns, the rural population of almost every county, except in the mining districts, having sensibly diminished, owing to emigration and other causes, since 1901. The history of Scotland is dealt with in the present article chiefly in its ecclesiastical aspect, and as such it naturally falls into three great divisions: I. The conversion of the country and the prevalence of the Celtic monastic church; II. The gradual introduction and, consolidation of the diocesan system, and the history of Scottish Catholicism down to the religious revolution of the sixteenth century; III. The post-Reformation history of the country, particularly in connection with the persecuted remnant of Catholics, and finally the religious revival of the nineteenth century. Under these three several heads, therefore, the subject will be treated.

Anyone interested in Scotland, it's history and walking with love this book. It covers a lot of territory and includes the pilgrims, the Roman Legions, the Jacobites, tinkers, drovers and today's hill walkers. The chapter on Women Walking is fascinating and I am delighted to include it on the Web site.(June, 2001). Women Walking, Mostly The walking tales of war, scientific exploration and commerce outlined have involved men. That women were capable of pedestrian achievements is shown by the fictional account given in Scott_s Heart of Midlothian , of Jeanie Deans_ barefoot walk from Edinburgh to London in the early eighteenth century seeking a pardon for her sister. There are many examples from real life to show that Jeanie_s feat on foot was not beyond her sisters then and later.

Go to Antithesis Root Page John Knox: The Watchman of Scotland An Overview of Scottish Presbyterian History Part 3 L. Anthony Curto Knox finally returned to Scotland only to battle compromise and Queen Mary in an effort to extend Biblical reformation among his people. Establishing A Protestant Nation John Knox returned to Scotland on May 2, 1559, when the political and religious climate was stormy. War clouds were on the brink of bursting. The town of Perth had become Protestant, and this provoked Mary the Queen Regent (Mary of Guise) to take some ill-advised actions. Mary summoned all the Protestant preachers to appear before her in Sterling on May 10, 1559. The Protestant Lords responded to her demand by assembling an unarmed army of nobles and gentry who marched from Perth to Sterling in support of their preachers. The Protestant Lords also sent Erskine of Dun ahead to Sterling to speak with the Queen Regent about the matter and to assure her that they did not intend any evil. The Queen Regent, wanting to accomplish her own end, persuaded Erskine to have the Protestant army remain in Perth while she reconsidered the matter. Erskine sent word back to Perth informing the Lords of the Queen's stated intention. The Protestants were divided as to what to do. Some believed the Queen was lying. Others believed that they could not doubt the Queen's promises or show contempt for the Laird of Dun by not following such instructions. The Lords decided to wait to see what further action the Queen would take.
