See the morning light,
Hear the puffins calling,
End another night,
Off the Isle of May.

Bright eastern skies,
White cliffs arise,

See the new day break,
Fisherman awake,

Small boats fall and rise,
To the fishers' cries,

See the dories coming,
Pray for herring running,
In the day's bright sun,
See the net-lines run,

See the long lines flowing,
Deep in Forth they're going,

See the net-lines hauled in,
Light loads are trawling,

Run the nets once more,
Off the cold Fife Shore,

Turn again to Fife,
That's the inshore life,

As the day's light fades,
Small money made,

No more herring swim,
Hard times are come,
The bright herring's gone,
Inshore life is done,

Neolithic and Bronze Age Scotland. This is the story of Scotland from the first farmers to the beginning of the Iron Age. It traces the growth and mysterious decline of the society which left its mark on the landscape in the form of stone circles, settlements and ceremonial enclosures. Neolithic and Bronze Age Scotland (Historic Scotland).

Scotland in Ancient Europe. The Neolithic and Early Bronze Age of Scotland in Their European Context. The scope of the volume spans the three crucial millennia, from the beginning of the fourth to the mid second B.C., that saw major impacts on the area we now call Scotland. There was transformation of the landscape through the introduction and development of framing, the creation of many striking monuments and the spread of important ideas and technologies, of which metalworking, particularly in Aberdeenshire, was one of the most significant. The contributions cover major advances in research in the period which demonstrate the interplay of the key factors of climate, culture and resources, where the theme of exchange of information, objects and materials played a vital role. Individual chapters range from chambered tombs to climate change, from dietary choices to faience beads, from timber enclosures to bronze hoards. Together these present a valuable up-to-the-minute overview of Scotland in ancient Europe and a fine tribute to a past master.

Tour Scotland Culloden Battlefield Video

Tour Scotland Culloden Battlefield Video. Culloden Battlefield, near Inverness, Scotland. On the sixteenth of April 1746, this bleak moor saw the end of the Jacobite Rising of 1745 when the army of Prince Charles Edward Stuart was defeated by a government army under the Duke of Cumberland.

Tales of Culloden. Culloden was the last battle on British soil. It marked the end of clan culture and was the harbinger of the Highland Clearances. It ensured the inevitability of the American Revolution and increased the outpouring of Scots across the globe. It is the only battle that British Army regiments are not permitted to include in their battle honours; the only battle that Bonnie Prince Charlie ever lost; and the only battle that the Duke of Cumberland ever won. Culloden is a battlefield, a graveyard and an iconic site that draws people from all parts of the world. And as they come, they bring with them their stories and their father's father's stories. These stories tell of civil war, of love, of the unexpected and even of the supernatural. They are peopled by the second-sighted, by clan chiefs and by others who have kept family secrets for centuries. The battlefield is a poignant location, resonant with past deeds and emotive memories. These Culloden tales are offered as a unique record to the power of the place. Culloden Tales: Stories from Scotland's Most Famous Battlefield.

Culloden. This is the story of ordinary men and women involved in the Rebellion, who were described on the gaol registers and regimental rosters of the time as 'Common Men'. There is little in this book about Bonnie Prince Charlie and other principals of the last Jacobite Rising of 1745. Culloden recalls them by name and action, presenting the battle as it was for them, describing their life as fugitives in the glens or as prisoners in the gaols and hulks, their transportation to the Virginias or their deaths on the gallows at Kennington Common. The book begins in the rain at five o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, 16 April 1746, when the Royal Army marched out of Nairn to fight the clans on Culloden Moor. It is not a partisan book, its feeling is for the 'Common Men' on both sides - John Grant charging with Clan Chatten and seeing the white gaiters of the British infantry suddenly as the east wind lifted the cannon smoke, and Private Andrew Taylor in a red coat waiting for Clan Chatten to reach him, likening them to 'a troop of hungry wolves'. Culloden reminds us, too, that many of the men who harried the glens as ruthlessly as the Nazis in Occupied Europe were in fact Scots themselves. It recalls the fact that many men in Prince Charles' army had been forced to join him. It shows that a British foot-soldier's wish for a sup of brandy on a cold morning before battle is as much a reality as a Prince's pretensions to a throne. The detail for the story told in Culloden has come from regimental Order Books and manuals, from contemporary newspapers and magazines, from the letters and memoirs of soldiers and officers, eye-witness accounts of atrocity and persecution, and the personal stories of the victims themselves. Culloden is the story not of a Prince, but of a people. Culloden.
