Scotland
History
Scotland was first populated by hunter-gatherers who arrived from England, Ireland and Europe around 6000 years ago. They brought the Neolithic Age with them, introducing agriculture, stockbreeding, trade, an organised society and a thriving culture. The remains of elaborate passage tombs, stone monuments and domestic architecture, such as those found on the Orkneys, reveal that this was indeed a vigorous civilisation. Later arrivals included Europe's Beaker people, who introduced bronze and weapons, while the Celts brought iron. The Romans were unable to subdue the region's fierce inhabitants, their failure symbolised by the construction of Hadrian's Wall. Christianity arrived in the guise of St Ninian, who established a religious centre in 397. Later, St Columba founded a centre on Iona in 563, still a place of pilgrimage and retreat today. Around the 7th century, Scotland's population comprised a constantly warring mix of matrilineal Picts and Gaelic-speaking Scots in the north, Norse invaders in the island territories, and Britons and Anglo-Saxons in the Lowlands. By the 9th century, the Scots had gained ascendancy over the Picts, whose only visible legacy today is the scattering of symbol stones found in many parts of eastern Scotland. In the south, Anglo-Norman feudalism was slowly introduced, and by the early 13th century an English commentator, Walter of Coventry, could remark that the Scottish court was 'French in race and manner of life, in speech and in culture'. Despite some bloody reactions, the Lowlanders' tribal-based society melded well with feudalism, creating enormously powerful family-based clans.

of books about Scotland
History of Scotland; Book reviews:
Mary Queen of Scots, Antonia Fraser
First published in 1969 and in print ever since, this is probably the definitive book on the life of Mary. Impeccable scholarship, (with notes and sources), combined with an easily readable style makes this a really enjoyable book.
The story of her childhood in France, marriage to the French King's son, return to Scotland and imprisonment in England is interwoven with all the nuances of political intrigue and jostling for power that characterised 16th century Europe. Antonia Fraser is sympathetic to Mary as a person, and it is this that brings her story alive.
The hard cover version is slightly bigger and easier to read, though the paper back version is very acceptable. Illustrated. UK Paperback - 720 pages (5 October, 1989) Mandarin.

Click on the image for a larger version
To begin at the beginning... Bank of Scotland was established by an Act of the Parliament of Scotland on 17th July 1695 'for the Carrying on and Managing of a Publick Bank'. It is the only bank ever to be founded by such an Act and the only commercial institution created by the Scots Parliament which is still in existence. It is also unique in being the oldest surviving UK clearing bank founded specifically to make a business of banking.
A French representation of the Procession
to the Scots Parliament The founding Act permitted the Bank's directors to raise a nominal capital of £1,200,000 Scots (£100,000 Sterling). It also granted a monopoly on banking in Scotland for 21 years, and its proprietors (shareholders) were given limited liability. The final clause of the Act (which was only repealed in 1920) provided that 'all Forraigners, who shall join as Partners of this Bank, shall thereby be and become Naturalised Scotsmen, to all Intents and Purposes whatsoever'.

Notes and Coins... Bank of Scotland was the first bank in Europe to successfully issue paper currency, redeemable for cash on demand - an extremely useful service given the unreliability of the Scots coinage of the 1690s. The right to issue banknotes has been maintained to the present day. Following the Act of Union of 1707, the Bank supervised the reminting of the old Scottish coinage into Sterling.

Perthshire Scotland Towns Perth Scotland Guide Known to the Romans as Bertha from the Celtic ' Aber The ' meaning mouth of the Tay. The city has been a Royal Burgh since the 13thC and was a Royal residence throughout the middle ages. Perth is often refered to as the Ancient Capital of Scotland on this account. Nearby Scone is the ancient coronation site of Scottish monarchs. All kings and queens of Scotland having been crowned there up until the Union into the United Kingdom. Today the site is marked by the early 19thC Palace of Scone. In 1396 the Battle of the Clans took place on the North Inch of Perth. This was a gladiatorial fight to the death to settle a long running feud between the powerful Chattan and Mackay clans. 30 warriors from each formed before Robert III. All Mackays died, except one who swam the Tay, to the loss of 10 Chattans. Legend has it that the Chattans were a man short so a local saddler was paid to take the place. He survived, having joined the winning side! James I was murdered at Blackfriars in 1437. This was his favourite residence. When assassins burst into his bedroom he attempted to escape through a tunnel. Unfortunately he forgot that he had ordered the far end blocked by a grill. This had been fitted to prevent him losing tennis balls down the uncovered exit!
