Book excerpt: East Lothian, a unitary authority area including the old county of Haddingtonshire, is one of Scotland's most historic places - John Knox was born in Haddington in the early years of the sixteenth century; important links were forged with the Low Coutries as a result of trade; and because of its location between Edinburgh and the border with England, the area was razed frequently by English troops. Significant battles were fought within its boundaries, most notably at Dunbar in 1560 and Prestonpans in 1745. It is also a land of huge contrasts, with sandy beaches, majestic sea cliffs, rolling farmland and barren moor, geographical features which have heavily influenced the life and industry of its inhabitants over the centuries.In this beautifully illustrated book, featuring over 100 old photographs, maps and prints, Craig Statham explores an enormous range of lost buildings which have been central to all aspects of the history of the county over a period of thousands of years, but which now no longer exist, lie in ruins or are no longer used for their original function. Grouped by theme, the book includes all types of lost buildings, from castles, mansion houses, streets and even whole villages to hospitals, factories, churches, schools, hotels and even swimming pools.

This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood on the Thistle is an examination of the life and times of a remarkable Scottish family, the Cranstons of Haddington, East Lothian. It focuses on a period from about 1880, when the young, hard-working parents, Alec and Lizzie Cranston, arrived in Haddington, through to 1920, when the family they had produced, torn apart by the effects of the Great War, broke up as its surviving members pursued separate lives around the globe.Out of seven sons who served in the First World War, four died and two more were horrifically wounded; only one, the youngest, returned home physically unscathed. This book explores the effects of this extreme sacrifice on the sons themselves as well as the loved ones they left behind, particularly their mother, Lizzie, who mourned them for the rest of her days.This is the tale of how a once proud and aspirational Scottish family was devastated by war, and how the effects continued to ripple through time and generations. Until, a century later, the threads of this remarkable family finally begin to be drawn together again, in a book that is at once a superb documentary account and a moving tribute to a generation.

Book Synopsis The Craighead Mysteries by : Martin White
Download or read book The Craighead Mysteries written by Martin White and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The map had asked the question, but it could provide no answer. The book is the result of a voyage of discovery to find that answer.One surprise was a story told about millennia rather than centuries, a microcosm of Scotland's history since the last Ice Age. This should probably qualify it as an epic saga although that would be a pretty ambitious billing for a story primarily about life in a tiny corner of the country, dedicated to farming for as long as peasants have trodden over it.What it does do is chart the rise and fall into obscurity of the lost village of Fenton, in East Lothian.
Download or read book Gibbon's Years written by Jock Macdonald and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2023-10-28 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this intriguing book derives from Edward Gibbon's description of the second century AD as the time of the greatest happiness and prosperity in the history of the world. Jock Macdonald puts the eighty years of his lifetime under a lens to consider to what extent Gibbon's description holds good for the Western World in the period since the Second World War. His lens is his own worldview and its focus changes from that of early childhood in wartime India, through adolescence in Scotland and England during the lean years of the 50s, to a successful career in education, followed by a committed involvement in both local and national politics. Interspersed are a series of delightful interludes involving in particular his lifelong passions for classical history and literature, archaeology, and the joys and perils of owning a derelict cottage in Umbria. What makes the book much more than a memoir of a life well lived is the intent behind it. The author is a serious environmentalist who sees lurking behind the good years of the second half of the twentieth century 'intimations of calamity just over the horizon'. Already by the end of the second decade of the twenty-first century, the Climate Crisis is widely seen as a calamity with greater potential for disaster than anything Gibbon could have imagined. Macdonald accepts that as individuals we may be powerless on a global scale, but that we can and must speak out. He does this now through his debut book about a life spent asking questions and helping others.

Book Synopsis Scotland's Populations from the 1850s to Today by : Michael Anderson
Download or read book Scotland's Populations from the 1850s to Today written by Michael Anderson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotland's Populations is a coherent and comprehensive description and analysis of the most recent 170 years of Scottish population history. With its coverage of both national and local themes, set in the context of changes in Scottish economy and society, this study is an essential and definitive source for anyone teaching or writing on modern Scottish history, sociology, or geography. Michael Anderson explores subjects such as population growth and decline, rural settlement and depopulation, and migration and emigration. It sets current and recent population changes in their long-term context, exploring how the legacies of past demographic change have combined with a history of weak industrial investment, employment insecurity, deprivation, and poor living conditions to produce the population profiles and changes of Scotland today. While focussing on Scottish data, Anderson engages in a rigorous treatment of comparisons of Scotland with its neighbours in the British Isles and elsewhere in Europe, which ensures that this is more than a one-country study.
Book Synopsis The Medieval Kirk, Cemetery and Hospice at Kirk Ness, North Berwick by : Thomas Addyman
Download or read book The Medieval Kirk, Cemetery and Hospice at Kirk Ness, North Berwick written by Thomas Addyman and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1999-2006 Addyman Archaeology carried out extensive archaeological excavations on the peninsular site of Kirk Ness, North Berwick, during the building, landscaping and extension of the Scottish Seabird Centre. This book presents the results of these works but its scope is much broader. Against the background of important new discoveries made at the site it brings together and re-examines all the evidence for early North Berwick – archaeological, historical, documentary, pictorial and cartographic – and includes much previously unpublished material. An essential new resource, it opens a fascinating window on the history of the ancient burgh. Kirk Ness is well known as the site of the medieval church of the parish and later royal burgh of North Berwick but it has long been suggested that it was also a centre of early Christian activity. The dedication of the church to St Andrew was speculatively linked to the translation of the Saint's relics to St Andrews in Fife in the 8th century. An early medieval component of the site was indeed confirmed by the excavation, with structural remains, individual finds and an important new series of radiocarbon dates. Occupation of a domestic character may possibly reflect a monastic community associated with an early church. Individual finds included stone tools, lead objects, ceramic material and a faunal assemblage that included bones of butchered seals, fish and seabirds such as the now-extinct Great Auk. The site continued in use as the medieval and early post-medieval parish and burgh church of St Andrew. In this period Kirk Ness and its harbour was an important staging point for pilgrims on route to the shrine of St Andrew in Fife. Domestic occupation discovered in the excavations is likely to be associated with a pilgrims’ hospice, also suggested in historical sources. This publication also provides a new analysis of the church ruin and an account of the major unpublished excavation of the site carried out in 1951-52 by the scholar and antiquary Dr James Richardson, Scotland's first Inspector of Ancient Monuments and resident of North Berwick. The excavations also revealed areas of the cemetery associated with the church, dating to the 12th–17th centuries, where inhumations presented notable contrasts in burial practice. Osteological study shed much light upon the health and demographics of North Berwick’s early population and identified one individual who met with a particularly violent death.
