		Culloden - The Jacobites ^Votes:0 The Rise & Fall of the Jacobite Rebellion By Mark Monaghan. T he word Jacobite comes from the Jacob's, or James' from the Royal House of Stuart. The followers of the James' (James V through to VII) were therefore known as Jacobites. The situation was like this: England had been ruled by Protestant Queen Elizabeth I, she was succeeded by James I of England (James VI of Scotland) see the union of the crowns . Catholic and Protestant divide not only in England but also in Scotland, Ireland and to a lesser degree France and Germany was the worst it had ever been.

		CULLODEN MOOR AND THE STORY OF THE BATTLE ^Votes:0 CULLODEN MOOR AND STORY OF THE BATTLE. This history of the Battle of Culloden was first published in 1867 by Peter Anderson. It was revised by his son 55 years later. All I have done is to convert it into HTML format, so I cannot take any credit apart from finding the book in a second hand book shop. Apart from correcting a couple of obvious typos, I have deliberately not updated the slightly old fashioned style of writing. Rick Edmondson rick@queenofscots.co.uk ABOVE A painting in the possession of the Edmondson family showing Bonnie Prince Charlie newly landed at Glenfinnan.

		Glasgow's History ^Votes:0 Glasgow's history stretches back almost two thousand years and has been rich and varied. Originally a small salmon-fishing village at a crossing point on the River Clyde, Glasgow has been shaped by Battles, World Wide Trade and Heavy Industry to become a truly International City. Finnieston Crane Founded by a Christian missionary (St Mungo), Glasgow became a major religious centre. Mungo's original church was destroyed by the wars which swept the country in the years after his death. Today's Cathedral dates from the 12th Century and has been added to in the years which followed. Provand's Lordship , the oldest house in Glasgow was built over 500 years ago for the Lord of Provan, an official of the Cathedral. The house still welcomes visitors today to view its proud history.

		Medieval Scotland ^Votes:0 Medieval Scotland Last updated 3 May 2007 This is a collection of articles and resources aimed at anyone interested in Scotland between A.D. 500 and 1603, from about when the King of DÁl Riata moved from Ireland to Argyll to when King James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne. Because medieval Scotland was not isolated from its surroundings in either space or time, there are also some articles concerning related regions and the focus time span is somewhat flexible. Some of the articles discuss not only what was done in Scotland in the Middle Ages but also how modern people might re-create aspects of medieval Scottish culture. While this may be of direct interest mainly to novelists and historical re-creators (such as those involved with battle re-enactment societies, renaissance fa Read More Go to Site

		Scots Independence Tour - Index ^Votes:0 Why Scotland needs Independence Scotland is trapped in a Union with England (the United Kingdom) that has been, and continues to be, detrimental to Scottish ideals, institutions and her economy. Scotland is a rich country, with vast oil, gas, coal, water, timber and human reserves. Yet, no matter how Scotland votes, it is the English majority that decides who rules in Westminster and controls these resources. The last 16 years of Conservative rule have forced unwanted policies on Scotland, and ensured that some 30% of Scots live below the EU poverty line . Meanwhile, Scottish Labour MPs (Members of Parliament) betray Scotland sit on their hands and refuse to recall the Scots Parliament. Only Independence and a proportionally elected sovereign Scottish Parliament can restore the destiny of Read More Go to Site

The ospreys are back to breed and you can see them at quite a few Highland lochs and rivers, but best of all at the RSPB reserve at Loch Garten in Speyside. The big seabird colonies are stacking up on the cliffs and Handa island (short boat trip from Tarbet near Scourie in the north-west) is your best bet.

		Scottish History - The Jacobites ^Votes:0 The Jacobites The Jacobites, and 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' in particular, are often seen in a romantic light. Here I attempt a more objective view. After the death of Charles II (he of the 'Restoration', Nell Gwynne etc.) his brother, James VII of Scotland and II of England managed to make himself so unpopular by his absolutist behaviour and his open support for Roman Catholicism that the English parliament invited James's son-in-law, William of Orange (aka 'King Billy'), to become King of England. Catholicism was the religion of England's traditional enemies, France and Spain, and therefore regarded as unpatriotic in England. England had its own religion which had as its head the English monarch. To subscribe to any other religion was therefore suspect. James VII, as a Roman Catholic, was t Read More Go to Site
