Moffat Town :- A Short History of Moffat Return to :- [ Moffat Homepage Moffat Server Index Description Where We Are ] [History People] Attractions Events Where To Stay ... Amenities of Moffat In Brief... Prehistoric Moffat The Romans Reivers and Armies Roads and Coaches ... Into the Future In Brief... Moffat was built at the point where two major routes through Scotland meet. It is not clear what prehistoric settlement may have been there, but certainly the Roman Legions came this way. At a later date, the early mediaeval divisions in the Border between Scotland and England turned the area into a semi-lawless place where even royal authority was flouted. The 'Devil's Beeftub' north of the town is a deep valley where cattle stampeded from England or elsewhere were corralled by the reivers. Tower-houses were built from the late mediaeval period by nobility and churchmen for safety from raids by warring families. The Union of the Crowns in 1601 saw the reiving decline, but it was not until the 1750s that it died out completely. With the land reasonable peaceful, Moffat entered a period of prosperity as a market and droving town for sheep and cattle, as is shown by the magnificent ram on the Colvin monument. However, this in itself caused such difficulties that the roads from Lockerbie north to Elvanfoot were remade many times until (in the days of Telford and McAdam) a good road from Carlisle to Glasgow was made, and a new route from Moffat to Twwedsdale built for Edinburgh traffic.

89. Culloden House Hotel, Inverness, Scotland, History In a class by itself where Highland hospitality has been elevated to the highest art form, without being. http://www.cullodenhouse.co.uk/home/history.htm

You have reached this page because your browser does not support Javascript. In this section: T HE H ISTORY OF C ULLODEN H OUSE By the end of the 18th century Inverness, the largest town of the Highlands, was acknowledged as its capital with its theatre, Assembly Rooms and polite society. Its winter season dazzled the eyes of the townsfolk - balls, concerts and plays all diverted the local gentry and wealthy merchants who made the town their base for the dark winter months. As the capital of the highlands, Inverness increasingly provided metropolitan sophistication and diversions as the town attracted wealthy families from all over the Highlands to settle. A ring of mansions and fine houses sprang up around the town where a civilized living style could be enjoyed distant from the noise and bustle of the town yet close enough to enjoy its facilities. The finest of the country houses in the neighbourhood of Inverness still survives, Culloden House, an exquisite Georgian mansion set in open parkland. But the existing house, already over 200 years old, is not the first house to stand on this site. Timothy Pont's manuscript and map of the area surrounding Inverness, dating from 1595-1596, show Culloden as a fortified tower house, built in the traditional Scottish style.

91. Battle Of Culloden, Inverness, Scotland, History In a class by itself where Highland hospitality has been elevated to the highest art form, without being. http://www.cullodenhouse.co.uk/home/history_six.htm

You have reached this page because your browser does not support Javascript. In this section: T HE B ATTLE The battle itself was fought on flat marshy moorland, part of the Culloden estate, and less than two miles from the house. Here an army of some 4,500 Jacobites, tired, hungry and ill-equipped met a Government force of 9,000 strong, well fed and rested troops under the command of the Duke of Cumberland, George His younger son. This was the last battle pitched by a foreign force fought on British soil, and was over in less than an hour. Out gunned and out fought by the better trained troops of the Government army, the Jacobites were utterly defeated. They lost some 1,500 men during the battle and in the atrocities that followed which so shamed the Government, that even today, no British Regiment bears Culloden as a battle honour. This compares with 30 dead for Cumberland's army. The site has been restored to something approaching its state on that fateful day, April 16, 1746 and on a still Spring day, it still speaks eloquently but silently of the clansmen who died for the Jacobite cause. The site is now owned in perpetuity for the nation by the National Trust for Scotland. This 180-acre piece of boggy ground has become a place of pilgrimage for the many millions of Scots, both in Scotland as well as those scattered abroad. Culloden House therefore stands out as a symbol, both of Scotland's past, and her present. Its name and situation are redolent of a turbulent and romantic history; its present that of a welcoming Scotland, welcoming to her sons and daughters making the pilgrimage back home, providing the finest of modern accommodation within a superbly historic setting.

The History of Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland The Background: Cruse Bereavement Care developed from the work of Margaret Torrie, who, in 1959, in her hometown of Richmond, Surrey, started a small group in her own home for the support of local widows. In looking for a name for their group, they turned away from the word widow, which comes from the French vide meaning empty. Instead they turned to a story from the Old Testament where, during a time of famine, a widow cared for the prophet Elijah.  The story tells how, although she had little flour and oil, as long as she looked after Elijah, her ”cruse” of oil never ran dry. The group took this story with its message that as long as they looked after each other they would always have resources both for others and for themselves. Over the past 42 years, the organisation has grown from a single support group for widows in Richmond, to a national charity offering support and counselling to anyone, of any age who has been bereaved by the death of someone close to them. In a recent publication, Cruse reports a total of 6,925 enquiries were received in Scotland in the year to 31 August 2000, and of these 2,726 were referred to either a Cruse counsellor or a Cruse group.  In the same period over 600 volunteers gave in excess of 41,000 hours of voluntary service!

Greyfriars in Scotland's history The kirk has a significant place in Scottish history. In 1638 the National Covenant , a document of great importance in the history of Scotland, was presented and signed in front of the pulpit. In 1679, some 1200 Covenanters were imprisoned in Greyfriars Kirkyard pending trial. In the 19th Century the minister Dr. Robert Lee led a movement to reform worship, introducing the first post-Reformation stained glass windows and one of the first organs in a Presbyterian Church in Scotland. Covenanters Prison In the Kirkyard lie the remains of many distinguished Scots. The collection of 17th century monuments is the finest in Scotland and one of the best in Britain. Edinburgh's most famous dog, Greyfriars Bobby , the Skye terrier, is thought to lie about 50 yards from his master, John Gray. The Kirkyard also contains the Covenanters' Prison and the Martyrs' Monument.

ADVERTISING INFORMATION Dunblane History Dunblane is one of the country's smallest cities but has a rich and colourful heritage that far outweighs its size. The story of this charming city is interwoven with that of its magnificent Cathedral Come and discover Dunblane and Sheriffmuir. Dunblane was founded in 602 A.D. by the Celtic missionary St. Blane (from whom the city derives its name). He lived with his followers in beehive shaped stone cells inside the old Dun or hill fort behind the town. St. Blane founded a church here and became one of the most prestigious churchmen of his time, known as 'Blaan the Triamphant'. After St. Blane's death (640 A.D.) Dunblane became a stronghold of the Culdee church who were probably responsible for building the lower four storeys of the cathedral tower. However, it was not until 1240 and the arrival of the 8th bishop, Clement, that building work began on the cathedral as it can be seen today. From then on Dunblane became an important centre of church and state. Although Dunblane is a thriving and prosperous community it actually reached the peak of its prestige and prosperity in 1500 when King James IV, who ruled Scotland from the nearby Royal burgh of Stirling, elected it a city. However, the fortunes of Dunblane took a dramatic turn during the Reformation when local landowners seized back the land their ancestors had gifted centuries before to the church and without funds the cathedral crumbled into ruin. Dunblane's importance dwindled rapidly and it became only a poor weaving village noted for its trafficking in drink and tobacco. However, the skills of the weaver stayed with Dunblane and in King George IV's famous tartan review (1822), the Dunblane Tartan, of 14 different colours, was the most complicated of all recorded District tartans to weave, and remains a tribute to local skill
