This book was released on 1999 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the Scottish kingdom's historic links with Ireland, and the beginnings of a Scottish national identity from c. 1290. The close ties between Gaels of Ireland and Scotland are well known, but in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the elite in the core areas of the kingdom of the Scots apparently turned their backs on Gaelic culture. This book takes a new look at the issue, investigating the extent to which Scottish men of letters of the period identified the Scottish kingdom and its inhabitants with Ireland, and exploring the function of the kingdom's Irish identity. DrBroun argues that a perceived historical link with Ireland was a fundamental feature of the kingdom's identity throughout the period, and discusses the beginnings of a Scottish national identity in the 1290s and early 1300s. His evidence is based on a thorough examination of accounts of Scottish origins, the royal genealogy, and regnal lists, which articulated perceptions of the kingdom's identity; included are new editions of the origin-legend material inBook I of Fordun's Chronica Gentis Scottorum; hitherto unknown witnesses of Scottish king-lists; and texts of the royal genealogy. Dr DAUVIT BROUNis lecturer in Scottish history at the University of Glasgow.

Book excerpt: This is the third of a trilogy of Dark Age and early Medieval Scottish history by Dr MacPhee. In it she uncovers the Irish origins of the Scots of Dalriada and describes their eventual union with the other three early kingdoms of fledgling Scotland, that of the Picts, the Britons and the Angles. By the time that the three princes of the royal MacErc dynasty of Scots from Irish Dal Riata had crossed the North Channel to found the new colony of Scottish Dal Riata in 501AD, the latter was beginning to overtake its Irish counterpart in importance, and was soon to become the beautiful independent kingdom of Scottish Dalriada --- an integral part of the widespread province of ancient Argyll. It is from this Dalriadic Irish culture, with its Gaelic Celtic language, that Scotland's identity originally sprang. Great names abound in this enthralling account, among them Dunadd Fort, the sacred isle of Iona, the charismatic Saint Columba, the warlord King Kenneth MacAlpin, Somerled "Hammer of the Norse," Glencoe, Culloden Moor and many others. The story of Dalriada is the very essence of the race and the land of the Scots."

Book excerpt: By 1124 a powerful feudal kingdom, based in Edinburgh and descended from the Kings of Dalriada, had been established. Gaels and Vikings fought for supremacy in the Western Isles and the kingdoms of the Picts and the Britons had disappeared. The lines between the the kingdom of the Scots and the recently established Norman dynasty to the south and the relationship between them had still to be established but the lines of Scotland's future development were now clear. This then was a period of revolution which established a new nation. It is arguably the most important of all in Scottish history. And yet it is one of the least known. It is this period of change that Stephen Driscoll describes with a wealth of new evidence and reconstruction illustration. From the royal palaces and burial sites of the kings of Strathclyde to the great inaugurations of Scone, this is an age of now vanished pageantry and power when the imperial ambitions of the new kings of Scots were shown in the names they chose, when those kings travelled on pilgrimage to Rome, and when names of almost mythological stature - Macbeth, Kenneth MacAlpin, St Margaret—lived and breathed in a new nation of Scots .

Book excerpt: The kingdom of Dal Riata flourished for a few brief centuries but the legacy of that period is profound. According to legend, the Irish king Fergus Mor arrived on the shore of Argyll around AD 500, and founded Dal Riata, the first kingdom of the Scots. New research now challenges this traditional account of Irish colonization of western Scotland. However it arose, this small kingdom held an important place in the artistic, intellectual and political life of north-western Scotland. Artistic achievements, such as the Book of Kells and the magnificent Iona stone crosses, are some of the world's great works of art. The reputation of the early Christian monks, such as Columba and Domnan, spread across Europe as the monastery at Iona became one of the major centers of learning.

This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Scotland be considered an English colony? Is its experience and literature comparable to that of overseas postcolonial countries? Or are such comparisons no more than patriotic victimology to mask Scottish complicity in the British Empire and justify nationalism? These questions have been heatedly debated in recent years, especially in the run-up to the 2014 referendum on independence, and remain topical amid continuing campaigns for more autonomy and calls for a post-Brexit “indyref2.” Gaelic Scotland in the Colonial Imagination offers a general introduction to the emerging field of postcolonial Scottish studies, assessing both its potential and limitations in order to promote further interdisciplinary dialogue. Accessible to readers from various backgrounds, the book combines overviews of theoretical, social, and cultural contexts with detailed case studies of literary and nonliterary texts. The main focus is on internal divisions between the anglophone Lowlands and traditionally Gaelic Highlands, which also play a crucial role in Scottish–English relations. Silke Stroh shows how the image of Scotland’s Gaelic margins changed under the influence of two simultaneous developments: the emergence of the modern nation-state and the rise of overseas colonialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gaelic Kingdom in Scotland: Its Origin and Church; With Sketches of Notable Breadalbane and Glenlyon Saints Our early history has usually been written from the statements of the Old Chroniclers, compared with the scanty notices to be found in the Latin authors. As so written, it is more the conclusions of the historian's own subjectivity, exercised on these ancient docu ments, than results drawn from undoubted facts. The Chroniclers wrote centuries after the circumstances recorded took place, so that really the foundation of the records was unwritten tradition, and therefore to a considerable extent apocryphal. The Romans, again, in writing of the Gaelic kingdom, were dealing with a people amongst whom they never got a footing, and of whom they could only have a very imperfect knowledge. We have, however, a source of informa tion in ﬂoating tradition, which our historians have looked upon with great contempt, but which, notwith standing, has usually a real element of truth in it. Also we have monuments, usages, customs, and names, all of which, when carefully and cautiously questioned.

At the heart of this mystery lies the extraordinary influence of the Picts and their neighbours, the Gaels, who were originally immigrants from Ireland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that while Anglo-Saxon culture has given rise to virtually no myths at all, myth has played a central role in the historical development of Scottish identity. Hugh Trevor-Roper explores three myths across 400 years of Scottish history: the political myth of the "ancient constitution" of Scotland; the literary myth, including Walter Scott as well as Ossian and ancient poetry; and the sartorial myth of tartan and the kilt, invented--ironically, by Englishmen--in quite modern times. Trevor-Roper reveals myth as an often deliberate cultural construction used to enshrine a people's identity. While his treatment of Scottish myth is highly critical, indeed debunking, he shows how the ritualization and domestication of Scotland's myths as local color diverted the Scottish intelligentsia from the path that led German intellectuals to a dangerous myth of racial supremacy. This compelling manuscript was left unpublished on Trevor-Roper's death in 2003 and is now made available for the first time. Written with characteristic elegance, lucidity, and wit, and containing defiant and challenging opinions, it will absorb and provoke Scottish readers while intriguing many others. "I believe that the whole history of Scotland has been coloured by myth; and that myth, in Scotland, is never driven out by reality, or by reason, but lingers on until another myth has been discovered, or elaborated, to replace it."-Hugh Trevor-Roper

This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume sets the scene for the History of Gaelic Scotland series, as well as treating the period of Gaelic's greatest expansion in Scotland. The core political narrative of this volume explains how the kingdom of the Scots was made, a Gaelic-speaking kingdom founded on the base of the earlier Pictish one, and the mechanisms by which Gaelic language and identity was established and asserted in that kingdom. The main chronological focus is on the early middle ages, more specifically from the beginnings of historical evidence concerning Gaelic kingdoms in Argyll in the sixth century through to the first half of the eleventh century. Thematically, it looks at issues of language and identity, similarities and differences with Ireland, mechanisms of political, cultural and linguistic expansion, ecclesiastical institutions, and art and literature. In amongst the various chapters a variety of approaches will be taken, and the chapter divisions reflect these. Several chapters have a political narrative as their backbone, but this is controlled by an awareness of how our sources have been formed and when. Questions of identity are recurrent, as we discuss the idea of the 'Gael', the 'Gaelicisation' of eastern Scotland, and the relationship between 'Gaelic culture' and 'European culture'.
