Sketch of the Civil and Traditional History of Caithness, from the Tenth Century
Author: James T. CalderPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Caithness (Scotland)
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This is a history of the most northern county on the mainland of Scotland, originally united with Sutherland, with the Gaelic name of Cattey or Cattadh. Even after 150 years, this remains one of the most sought after and elusive of all histories of this region, for it contains not only historical but also family or genealogical material as well. Among the families discussed are: Kennedy of Stroma, Keith of Ackergill, Gunn, Sinclair, Gordon, Stevenson, MacIver, Mey, Forss, Ratter, and many others. But the essence of this work is a detailed history of the county and events happening in it, beginning with a brief discussion of the original inhabitants, but concentrating primarily upon the period from the Viking or Scandinavian settlements through into the nineteenth century. For those interested in the Scandinavian impact upon Scotland, this history is a must. But there also is extensive material on clan or family battles, memoirs of distinguished individuals in Caithness, religious changes, and the collapse of the Highland world during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

1820: Scottish Rebellion
Author: Gerard CarruthersPublisher: Birlinn Ltd
ISBN: 1788855337
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The 1820 Scottish Rising has been increasingly studied in recent decades. This collection of essays looks especially at local players on the ground across multiple regional centres in the west of Scotland, as well as the wider political circumstances within government and civil society that provide the rising's context. It examines insurrectionist preparation by radicals, the progress of the events of 1820, contemporary accounts and legacy memorialisation of 1820, including newspaper and literary testimony, and the monumental 'afterlife' of the rising. As well as the famous march of radicals led by John Baird and Andrew Hardie, so often seen as the centre of the 1820 'moment', this volume casts light on other, more neglected insurrectionary activity within the rising and a wide set of cultural circumstances that make 1820 more complex than many would like to believe. 1820: Scottish Rebellion demonstrates that the legacy of 1820 may be approached in numerous ways that cross disciplinary boundaries and cause us to question conventional historical interpretations.
The Diary and Letters of Edward Irving
Author: Barbara WaddingtonPublisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1621899632
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 551
Book Description
The nineteenth-century Scottish theologian and church leader Edward Irving has been the subject of a remarkable resurgence of interest among historians and theologians in recent decades. A friend of Thomas Carlyle and a household name in his lifetime, Edward Irving became involved with a group headed by the scion of Drummonds Bank who were convinced there was to be an imminent second coming. Irving became caught up in this idea, and it not only changed his life but resulted in his expulsion from the Scottish Presbysterian Church. His life journey, including his personal loves and losses and early death in 1834, we can trace from his short diary, kept as a young man, and his letters, published here for the first time.
