SummaryIn the 19th century Scotland was depicted as a land of misty glens, engineering innovation, andinventive genius. But Scotland was also the home of brutal murder, terrifying riots, child cruelty, bankrobbery, and acid attack. Women as well as men were capable of horrendous acts, and crime couldstrike anywhere: at home, on the road, and even at sea. From the Borders to the Northern Isles,crime was never far away. Edinburgh, with its reputation for polite decorum, was also the scene ofpoisoning and savagery; the dark streets of industrial Glasgow and Dundee harbored thieves andmuggers, while the villages of coast and country hid wild men and vicious women. This book exposessome of the crimes, remembered and forgotten, that rocked the Scotland of our ancestors.

Scottish Transport TokensRonnie Breingan

Contributor BioRonnie Breingan is a past President of the Glasgow & West of Scotland Numismatic Society and theAyrshire Coin Club. A retired banker, Ronnie works as a guide at the National Trust for Scotland’sCulzean Castle.

SummaryMost transport tokens in Scotland were introduced in the middle of the 19th century, but until recentyears they did not attract many collectors. The collecting and study of tokens has now very muchbecome a branch of numismatics. The early tokens were usually struck in brass, copper or bronze,but as we moved into the 20th century celluloid ones were introduced. From celluloid, various formsof plastic and fiber have been used as well as various metals, and this has continued right up to thepresent day. Tokens were in fact the tickets of their time. Paper tickets did not come into use untilabout the 1880s and in Glasgow on the tramways from the late 1870s. By selling a number oftokens, transport firms were assured of the custom of these passengers. This also saved theconductor—or guard as he was sometimes called—from handling cash and was thus also a securityprecaution.

Victoria's Scottish LionThe Life of Colin Campbell, Lord ClydeAdrian Greenwood, Philip J. Haythornthwaite

Contributor BioAdrian Greenwood is a dealer in rare books and has written many articles for antique magazines.Philip Haythornthwaite is an internationally renowned military historian with a particular expertise inthe Napoleonic Wars. He is the author of more than 40 books, including British Riflemen, Gallipoli,1915, and Napoleonic Light Cavalry Tactics.

SummaryThe first full-length appraisal of an incredible military career ranging from the War of 1812 to theFirst Opium War in China and well beyond

Military service over an unprecedented 55 years took Field Marshal Colin Campbell from thebattlefields of the Iberian peninsula to the plains of India, via the West Indies, Nova Scotia, China,Java, the Balkans, and Russia. Wounded six times—the first time at 20, the last when 65 yearsold—he always led from the front, ever ready to ride the whirlwind and direct the storm. There wasn’ta great power which he did not stand beside as an ally, or confront as a foe. He was in command atthe most decorated battle in British history, earning 18 Victoria Crosses, and it was he whoreconquered a subcontinent with an army Wellington would have thought sufficient for areconnaissance-in-force. But Campbell’s story is also a very personal one, the struggle of the son ofa Glaswegian cabinetmaker who climbed all the way to the House of Lords.

Poltergeist Over ScotlandGeoff Holder

Contributor BioGeoff Holder is an expert on the darker side of Scottish history. He has written more than 20 bookson the subject, including various volumes in the Paranormal and Haunted series, the Guide toMysterious series and Scottish Bodysnatchers. A long-standing member of institutions such as TheGhost Club, he lecturers and leads guided walks throughout the year.

SummaryIn 1945 the celebrated psi-researcher Harry Price published Poltergeist over England, popularizing theword poltergeist (German for "noisy ghost") and making famous the kind of physical hauntingcharacterised by thrown objects, mysterious noises, and damage by fire or water. Now, for the firsttime, an astonishing array of historical Scottish poltergeist cases are gathered together, from theMiddle Ages to the modern period, unearthing many episodes that have remained neglected forcenturies. Some were no doubt hoaxes, but in others, multiple witnesses testified to disturbingevents enacted over months. Whatever the true cause of the events, the historical evidence fromScotland suggests that poltergeist phenomena is undoubtedly real.

Contributor BioArchibald Richard Burdon Haldane was born in 1900, the nephew of Richard Burdon Haldane, 1stViscount Haldane. Like his father and uncles, he attended the Edinburgh Academy, after which hewent to Balliol College, Oxford to read history. He returned to Scotland to enter his father's legalfirm.

In recognition for his work in this field, he wasawarded the honorary degree of D Litt from the University of Edinburgh. He died in 1982.

SummaryOne of the great classics of Scottish history, The Drove Roads of Scotland interweaves folklore, socialcomment and economic history in a fascinating account of Scotland's droving trade and the routes bywhich cattle and sheep were brought from every corner of the land to markets in central Scotland. Inpastoral Scotland, the breeding and movement of livestock were fundamental to the lives of thepeople. The story of the drove roads takes the reader on an engrossing tour of Scottish history, fromthe lawless cattle driving by reivers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to the legitimatemovement of stock which developed after the Union of the Crowns, by which time the large-scalemovement of stock to established markets had become an important part of Scotland's economy,and a vital aspect of commercial life in the Empire. Haldane's work is one of the great classics ofScottish history.

The Scottish GardenerSuki Urquhart, Ray Cox

Contributor BioSuki Urquhart started gardening in the Far East. In the mid 1970s she moved back to her nativeScotland where she gardened around a sixteenth-century tower house. Since then she has lived andcreated gardens for herself throughout Scotland. She became a fulltime garden designer in the1980s and she has worked as a freelance garden and features writer for numerous magazines andnewspapers since 1996. Ray Cox's family has been involved in horticulture for three generations. Heis a full-time garden and plant photographer whose work has been published in a wide range ofmagazines, newspapers, books, websites, calendars and greetings cards throughout Europe andAmerica.

SummaryGardens have been created to fulfill many functions: some to provide food or medicine, others forpleasure and recreation or simply to reflect the wealth and status of their creators. This lavishlyillustrated book celebrates the extraordinary diversity of Scottish gardens and their creators, whetherthey be herbalists, plant collectors, nurserymen, botanists, artists or amateurs. It also traces thedevelopment of different types of garden—monastic gardens, royal gardens, walled gardens andtown and village gardens—through the ages. By focusing on around sixty Scottish gardens, SukiUrquhart examines the distinctive tradition of Scottish gardening, how it has developed over time,and how it has been shaped by climate, conflicts and changing fashions. Since the emphasis is verymuch on how gardeners stamp their own character on their gardens, it is private rather than publicgardens which are featured here. Information is given on visiting the gardens.

A New Race of MenScotland 1815?1914Michael Fry

Contributor BioMichael Fry is the author of The Dundas Depotism; How the Scots Made America; The Scottish Empire;The Union: England, Scotland and the Treaty of 1707; and Wild Scots: Four Hundred Years of HighlandHistory. He has also written numerous articles on modern Scottish history and several politicalpamphlets and has contributed to most major Scottish and British newspapers. He has been aweekly columnist for the Scotsman, the Herald, and the Sunday Times.

SummaryIn his new book, Michael Fry goes well beyond the conventional analyses of the economy and societyto which previous histories have confined themselves. Here the central thread of the story is notsteady assimilation to the norms of the United Kingdom but the survival of distinct forms ofScottishness that both derived from an independent past and laid the foundations for thereassertion of nationality in the present time. The emphasis is therefore not on those aspects inwhich Scotland became more like the rest of Britain—though these are acknowledged anddescribed—but rather on the ways in which Scotland remained different. Through detailed newresearch, particular attention is paid to the development of politics and government in the Victorianera. Above all, however, Fry points to the condition of Scottish culture, in both its triumphs and itsfailings, as the key to understanding what made the nation falter in some respects yet in otherssurvive and at length prosper once again. Throughout, for this exemplary era of Scottishindividualism, he relies not on theories and statistic...

Contributor BioRichard Oram is a professor of medieval and environmental history at the University of Stirling andthe deputy head of the School of Arts and Humanities. He is the author of many articles and books,including David I, Domination and Lordship, and The Lordship of Galloway.

SummaryOffering a fresh assessment of Alexander II’s contribution to the making of Scotland as a nation,this book explores the king’s successes and failures and lifts the focus from an introspectivenational history to look at the man and his kingdom in wider British and European history. Itexamines his international relationships and offers the first detailed analysis of the efforts to workout a lasting diplomatic solution to Anglo-Scottish conflict over his inherited claims to the northerncounties of England. More than just a political narrative, the book also seeks to illuminate aspects ofthe king’s character and his relationships with those around him, especially his mother, his first wifeJoan Plantagenet, and the great magnates, clerics, and officials who served in his household andadministration. By equal measure state builder and political unifier as well as ruthless opportunistand bloody-handed aggressor, Alexander II has been praised or vilified by past historians but hasrarely been viewed in the round.

Contributor BioRonan O'Donnell has a doctorate from the University of Durham, having gained a BSc in Archaeologyfrom Durham and an MA in English Local History from the University of Leicester. His interests focuson the relationship between global and local process and the implications of changes to systems ofland tenure.

This book begins to fill this gap by utilizing Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to re-assess thefamiliar topics of enclosure and improvement. It reveals the contribution of local 'actors' – includinglandowners, tenants and the landscape itself – to these 'processes'. In so doing it transforms ourunderstanding of the way in which the landscape of Northumberland was created during theeighteenth and nineteenth centuries and carries wider implications for how we might approachenclosure in other parts of the country.

Contributor BioElma McMenemy moved to Aberdeen at the age of eighteen, and has lived in or near it ever since. Aqualified Scottish Blue Badge Guide, she leads tours in and around the city throughout the year. Sheis also a tourism consultant, specializing in marketing and PR.

SummaryAberdeen has been inhabited for 8,000 years, since the first Hunter-Gatherers settled on the banksof the River Dee. 4,000 years later, Bronze Age peoples left their mark on the landscape byconstructing a huge number of recumbent stone circles, once thought to be places of sacrifice.Invaders including Celts, Romans, and Vikings met violent, bloody resistance, and the victoriousRoman army left thousands of Caledonian corpses for the crows following the Battle of MonsGraupius. From the slaughter of Aberdeen Castle’s English garrison (part of a citizens’ uprising insupport of Robert the Bruce) to all-out assaults on the city by Kings, Royalists, and Nazis, no centuryhas left the city unmarked. Plagues, wars, clan feuds, murderers, witches, covenanters, andslavers—all have stained the silver city red with blood!

Fascist ScotlandCaledonia and the Far RightGavin Bowd

Contributor BioGavin Bowd is a lecturer in French at the University of St Andrews. His research covers variousaspects of modern and contemporary France, Romania, and Scotland; Communism andpost-Communism; the remembrance and representation of war; colonial geography; and geopoetics.He is a published translator, journalist, and creative writer.

SummaryA unique insight into an unknown aspect of Scotland's past, this book reveals the fascinating anduncomfortable truths about the country's foray into Fascism during the interwar period. The accountcontends that Fascism found support in Scottish society, having provided its own cohort of idealists,fanatics, and traitors for extreme racist, nationalist, and authoritarian politics. From Dumfries toAlness, one of the main ideologies of the first half of the 20th century found its standard-bearers,but when Fascism crossed the Cheviots, it found itself in a restless part of a multination state, rivenby sectarian hatreds. This little-known part of history is bound to stimulate debate.

The Great Scottish Witch-HuntEurope's Most Obsessive DynastyP. G. Maxwell-Stuart

Contributor BioP. G. Maxwell-Stuart is the author of Satan’s Conspiracy: Magic & Witchcraft in Sixteenth CenturyScotland, Witchcraft: A History, Witch Hunters and Wizards: A History.

SummaryScotland, in common with the rest of Europe, was troubled from time to time by outbreaks ofwitchcraft which the authorities sought to contain and then to suppress, and the outbreak of1658-1662 is generally agreed to represent the high water mark of Scottish persecution. These werepeculiar years for Scotland. For nine years Scotland was effectively an English province with largelyEnglish officials in charge. In 1660 this suddenly changed, so the threat to church and state from aplague of witches was particularly disturbing. The tension between imported official English attitudesto witchcraft and the revived fervor of Calvinist religion combined to produce a peculiar atmospherein which the activities of witches drew hostile attention to an unprecedented degree.

SummaryNow available in paperback, the first book to chronicle the history of the Knights Templar inScotland, from 1127 to the present, with a new theory on Templar participation at the Battle ofBannockburnPlaces and books such as Rosslyn Chapel and The Da Vinci Code have focused attention on Scotland'sKnights Templar. Who they were and what they did has been touched upon, but never properlyexplored. Close advisors to Scotland's early kings, they were major property owners and respectedlandlords in a harsh and unforgiving time. But they were also secretive and arrogant. Did they flee toScotland just prior to their arrest on October 13, 1307? Did they fight with Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn in1314? And how did the Templars continue on after Bannockburn? This book intertwines Templar andScottish history, beginning with an overview of the Templars, and then applying this to Templar life inScotland. It describes the Templar arrests in France and contrasts this with the Templar Inquisition atHolyrood, then following the Templars from Bannockburn to the present.

The transition was a longprocess of social and political change driven by the ambitions of powerful warlords; tribal chiefs andRoman generals, at first, followed by dynamic warrior-kings who campaigned far beyond their ownborders. From Lothian to Orkney and from Fife to the Isle of Skye, fierce battles were won and lost,but, by AD 1000, a dynasty of Gaelic-speaking kings, the Picts, and Scots began to forge a single,unified nation which transcended enmities. With maps to illustrate the history, this chronicle brings tolife the great warrior-kings of early Scotland.

SummaryMillions of Scots have left their homeland during the last 400 years, and until now, they have mostlybeen written about in general terms. Gathering the tales of particular emigrants, drawn from theonce-powerful Clan MacLeod, and discovering what happened to them and their families, this historybreaks new ground. These are stories of, among other things, French aristocrats, Polish resistancefighters, Texan ranchers, New Zealand shepherds, Australian goldminers, Aboriginal and African-American activists, Canadian mounted policemen, and Confederate rebels.

Golf Stole My BrainAnd Other Strange Golfing TalesDale Concannon

Contributor BioDale Concannon is the author of Nick Faldo: The Definitive Biography.

SummaryAccording to the legendary Sam Snead, golf is the most frustrating sport of all. "One day you are upon Cloud Nine and the next day you couldn't scratch a whale's belly," he once famously said. Likemany of us who play the game, he understood that few sports offer more opportunity to makecomplete fools of ourselves than golf. For anyone from the most celebrated professional to thelowliest hacker, it can appear deceptively easy at times, and virtually impossible at others.Highlighting the idiosyncratic nature of the game and the often messianic fervor of those who play it,this collection of unique and often amusing tales will have you shaking your head in disbelief. Fromthe European Ryder Cup star who claimed his rental house was haunted, to the German farmer whofiled a lawsuit against a nearby golf club claiming they had "murdered" 30 of his cows, absolutelynothing is out-of-bounds.

SummaryA celebration of Scotland's rich sporting history, profiling 50 of the nation's all-time greatestsportspeople

Scotland may not have won a World Cup (yet!), but many of the country's sportsmen and women arerevered as global legends. In football, the likes of Denis Law, "Slim" Jim Baxter, and Jimmy "Jinky"Johnstone would not have looked out of place in the canary yellow of Brazil, while managers Sir MattBusby, Bill Shankly, and Jock Stein have become part of football folklore, as has Sir Alex Ferguson inmore recent times. Amazingly, Scots have conquered the world in just about every major sport: JimClark and Sir Jackie Stewart in Formula One; Ken Buchanan and Benny Lynch in the boxing ring;sprinters Allan Wells and Eric Liddell on the Olympic track; and, as befits a nation renowned as "thehome of golf," Sandy Lyle was recognized as the greatest player on the planet upon winning theMasters in 1988. Scottish sport is the richest of tapestries and here the cream of the crop areentertainingly profiled in a revealing collection of pen portraits of stars past and present.

Wooden Fishing Boats of ScotlandJames Pottinger

Contributor BioJames A. Pottinger is a retired marine engineer who has served in the Merchant Navy and in seniormanagement in the North Sea oil industry for Scotland, Norway, and Holland. Brought up in a fishingvillage in Shetland, he has a life-long interest in the fishing industry and many connections with it.He has previously written Fishing Boats of Scotland, Scots of Greenock, Fishing Boats of Scotland: A NewLook, and Clyde Built. He lives in Aberdeen.

SummaryWith the gradual phasing out of wooden fishing boats of Scotland it is timely to record some of thesehandsome vessels. The general opinion is that in the era 1960-80 builders produced some of themost shapely and graceful craft, a testament to the skill of the boat builders and designers. Initiallythe designs were a collaboration of builders and skippers, but later the implementation of statutoryrules demanded a more structured approach by qualified naval architects, which inevitably resulted ina certain degree of standardisation. In contrast to James A. Pottinger’s earlier books, which includedall types of Scottish fishing boats both large and small, this new illustrated volume concentratessolely on the graceful wooden boats, regarded by many to be the best looking boats of all, withsome images of initial keel and backbone construction through to the melancholy sight of beautifulcraft being cut up. In earlier days such boats were scrapped only due to old age, but sadly politicalfactors now often dictate the destruction of classic wooden craft.

A freelance professional broadcast TV filmmaker and author, he has justcompleted a film for the National Railway Museum at York about the Flying Scotsman, which iscurrently being distributed in North America.

SummaryRevealing the esteemed history of the world's most famous locomotive

Few locomotives are as widely known or excite so much interest as the Flying Scotsman. Designed bySir Nigel Gresley in 1923, the locomotive became a flagship for the London and North EasternRailway and represented them at the British Empire Exhibition in 1924 and 1925. Thus began FlyingScotsman's fame, which only continued as the locomotive broke records, becoming the first toexceed 100mph in 1934 and taking the longest journey of any steam locomotive in 1988–89.Passing through such hands as Alan Pegler's and Pete Waterman's after her retirement from BritishRailways, Flying Scotsman is now in public hands for restoration. Here James S. Baldwin uses hisexpert knowledge and unrivaled collection of images to highlight the illustrious career of this world-famous locomotive.

The New Testament in ScotsW. L. Lorimer, Robin Lorimer, Richard Holloway

Contributor BioWilliam Laughton Lorimer (1885–1967) was best known as one of the most learned Greek scholarsof his generation, but he also began studying spoken Scots when he was only nine years old. Duringthe last 20 years of his life, he made a substantial contribution to The Scottish National Dictionary;during the last 10, he also translated the New Testament from Greek into Scots, but had not finallyrevised three-quarters of his voluminous manuscripts when he died. His son Robin Lorimer(1918–1996), a distinguished publisher and scholar in his own right, completed the transcription andthe editing of the work which was published to great acclaim in 1983. Richard Holloway is a formerBishop of Edinburgh who has written for many newspapers in Britain including the Guardian, theSunday Herald, the Times, and the Scotsman. His books include Between the Monster and the Saint:Reflections on the Human Condition, Godless Morality, and Doubts and Loves.

SummaryIn making this Scots translation of the New Testament, the author undertook the project ofrecreating Scots prose, and went to work scrutinizing upwards of 180 translations in more than 20languagesThe Greek scholar William Lorimer spent the last 10 years of his life working on this project, in whicheach Gospel has a different form of Scots to match the different forms of Greek used by the variousapostles and scribes. The vigor and immediacy of the language is always apparent. Transcribed,edited, and published by his son Robin Lorimer, this scholarly and dramatically fresh reading of analready familiar text caused a sensation when it first appeared in 1983. Beyond the poetry of theKing James version, here are the voices of the disciples themselves, speaking, as they undoubtedlydid, in "plain braid Galilee."
