Download or read book The Placenames of Scotland written by Iain Taylor and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placenames are a constant source of debate. Who was Edwin, whose name is said to live on in that of Scotland's capital city? Are the 'drum' and 'chapel' still to be found in Drumchapel? And which 'king' had a 'seat' in Kingseat in Perthshire? The answers to these and many similar questions are often not what might be expected at first sight and have their origins in many languages – including Gaelic, Pictish, Brythonic, Norse, Anglo-Saxon, Scots and Modern English – that have been spoken in Scotland. This is the essential companion to the fascinating world of Scottish placenames. It features more than 8,000 placenames, from districts, towns and villages to rivers, lochs and mountains, and also includes a comprehensive introduction and maps.

Download or read book Indigenous and Minority Placenames written by Ian D. Clark and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases current research into Indigenous and minority placenames in Australia and internationally. Many of the chapters in this volume originated as papers at a Trends in Toponymy conference hosted by the University of Ballarat in 2007 that featured Australian and international speakers. The chapters in this volume provide insight into the quality of toponymic research that is being undertaken in Australia and in countries such as Canada, Finland, South Africa, New Zealand, and Norway. The research presented here draws on the disciplines of linguistics, geography, history, and anthropology. The book includes meticulous studies of placenames in central NSW and the Upper Hunter region; Gundungurra cave names; western Arnhem Land; Northern Cape York Peninsula and Mount Wheeler in Queensland; saltwater placenames around Mer in the Torres Strait; and the Kaurna in South Australia.

Download or read book Argyll written by Ian Bradley and published by Saint Andrew Press. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argyll is the beautiful, wild and inspirational home of Celtic Christianity. It is the spiritual heartland of Scotland and, some would say, of the whole United Kingdom. Until now, no-one has sought to uncover the reasons why the spiritual landscape of Argyll is so distinctively unique, rich and varied. Why is it characterised by a more gentle, liberal, mystical and liturgical Christian culture than the harsher Calvinist evangelism of the neighbouring Highlands and the Western Isles? Why has it produced such a disproportionately large amount of beautiful devotional material? This joyful book, with a cover image by popular artist JoLoMo, is impressionistic and accessible but always of the highest scholarly standards. It reveals the dominant themes and figures in Argyll’s spiritual landscape. Ian Bradley’s love of Argyll shines through as he takes both a geographical and biographical approach and looks at the interplay of landscape and Christian belief through such figures as Columba, Carswell, sundry Campbells, George Matheson, George MacLeod and others. Drawing on extensive original research and interviews with a wide variety of people, including many Church of Scotland ministers and lay people, this is an enthralling and fascinating read for all who are interested in Scottish history and identity, Celtic Christianity and Scotland’s spiritual heritage.

Book excerpt: This book is the first volume to scrutinise in detail the history of the Highlands and Islands incorporating the most up-to-date research. It examines the evolution of the idea of 'Celtic Scotland', tracing the historiography of the Gaidhealtachd through the Caledonians, the Picts and the first medieval writings in the area. It investigates such areas as Galloway as well as surveying politics, culture and the church in the context of the great medieval lordships such as those of the Isles, Argyll, Moray and Ross and demonstrates how the histories of such provinces were integrated into that of Scotland at large.

Book excerpt: A local historian chronicles the famously remote region of the Scottish Highlands from its early Viking settlers to the present day. Located in the “Rough Bounds” of northern Scotland, the remote region of Knoydart is Britain’s last true wilderness. Deriving its name from Viking settlers, the desolate peninsula was home to warlike inhabitants who became notorious in the 18th century under the ruthless leadership of Coll of Barrisdale. Notorious across Scotland, his protection racket gave the word “blackmail” to the English language. Knoydart was also a fertile recruiting ground for the Jacobites. But in the 18th and 19th centuries the area suffered large scale emigration, partly as a result of the brutal clearances of 1853. A long century of decline followed until, in 1948, it became the scene of the famous land-raid by the “Seven men of Knoydart.” Today, Knoydart continues to be the focus of land settlement and reform controversies. Local historian Denis Rixson places these issues in their larger historical context. It is the story of a community’s ongoing struggle to preserve itself against the harshness of the environment and the cynical exploitation of man.
