Book excerpt: When Crawford and Ramona arrive at the mysterious house called Torran Dubh on a remote island off the rugged west coast of Scotland, they’re captivated by the beauty and mystery of the place. The mansion is available for rent, but the enigmatic caretaker offers them a curious deal: they can stay for free—if the house accepts them. Enthralled, they agree, unaware that Torran Dubh is no ordinary house. It’s a gateway to the past, where time itself bends and reality is far more fluid than it seems. As they settle into the old manor, strange phenomena begin to unravel, guiding them on a journey to uncover Torran Dubh’s hidden secrets and its deep connection to Crawford’s own family. Thirty years ago, Crawford’s father, Malcolm, vanished without a trace, leaving behind a legacy of unanswered questions. Now, Torran Dubh seems to hold the key to his disappearance, along with a far-reaching history of time travel, Norse settlers, and dark forces that still linger in the shadows. Guided by the mystical power of an ancient amulet, Crawford and Ramona embark on a journey through time. As they explore the house and its hidden history, they must navigate the unknown forces at play, discovering long-buried truths that could change their lives forever. As Crawford uncovers his family’s hidden connection to time travel, Ramona grapples with her own questions about the power of the amulet and whether its influence is truly benevolent. With every leap through time, Crawford and Ramona face new mysteries—and growing dangers. What dark forces are lurking in the shadows of history? As they delve deeper into the mysteries of Torran Dubh, they must decide how far they are willing to go to uncover the truth—and what it will cost them in the present.
Book Synopsis The Gunns; History, Myths and Genealogy by : Alastair Gunn
Download or read book The Gunns; History, Myths and Genealogy written by Alastair Gunn and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a radical, academically based text which demolishes the myths currently masquerading as Gunn 'history'. Gunns are best thought of as the original, non-related inhabitants of northern, mainland Scotland. They do not have an Orkney Islands origin. Gunns should not be viewed as a clan as they had no founding ancestor. There was never an historic 'Clan Gunn Chief'. The first Gunn known to history was Coroner Gunn of Caithness who died around 1450. His eldest son started the MacHamish Gunns of Killernan line - many descendants from that line exist all around the world. Major detail on this MacHamish line is included. This book is an important addition to Scottish Highland history.

Download or read book Clan Battles written by Chris Peers and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2023-08-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warfare between the clans of the Highlands in the late Middle Ages determined the course of history in this region of Scotland, and Chris Peers’ gripping account of it – and of the rivalry between the strongest clans – gives the reader a deep insight into this bloody, turbulent phase in the development of the far north of the British Isles. The battles he describes, all of them fought between the 1430s and the 1540s, were flash points in the long struggle for dominance between the leading clans of the region. The battles are reconstructed in vivid detail. The first, Druim n Coub, was fought in 1433 between the Mackays and the Sutherlands. Then came Bloody Bay, a sea fight between rival MacDonald factions, Blar na Parc between the MacDonalds and the Mackenzies, Creag an Airgid between the MacDonalds and the MacIains, Glendale between the MacDonalds and MacLeods, and Torran Dubh between alliances headed by the Mackays and Sutherlands. The final battle, Blar na Leine, fought between the MacDonalds and the Frasers in 1544, marked the end of an era. The subsequent fate of the leading clans, principally the MacDonalds and Mackays, is also covered in a narrative that gives the reader a fascinating new perspective of clan loyalties and conflict which still resonates today. As well as covering the fighting Chris Peers explains the way war in the Highlands was organized by the contending clans during the period – the strategies and tactics, weapons and armor they employed. The result is an absorbing all-round account of the military history of the Highlands before the clans eventually lost their independence.

Book Synopsis The Vikings in Islay by : Alan Macniven
Download or read book The Vikings in Islay written by Alan Macniven and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2015-11-23 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hebridean island of Islay is well-known for its whisky, its wildlife and its association with the MacDonald Lords of the Isles. There would seem to be little reason to dwell on its fate at the hands of marauding Northmen during the Viking Age. Despite a pivotal location on the 'sea road' from Norway to Ireland, there are no convincing records of the Vikings ever having been there. In recent years, historians have been keen to marginalise the island's Viking experience, choosing instead to focus on the enduring stability of native Celtic culture, and tracing the island's modern Gaelic traditions back in an unbroken chain to the dawn of the Christian era. However, the foundations of this presumption are flawed. With no written accounts to go by, the real story of Islay's Viking Age has to be read from another type of source material - the silent witness of the names of local places. The Vikings in Islay presents a systematic review of around 240 of the island's farm and nature names. The conclusions drawn turn traditional assumptions on their head. The romance of Islay's names, it seems, masks a harrowing tale of invasion, apartheid and ethnic cleansing.
Book Synopsis Dance If Ye Can by : Malcolm Archibald
Download or read book Dance If Ye Can written by Malcolm Archibald and published by Next Chapter. This book was released on 2022-02-12 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance If Ye Can is an introduction to the huge variety of battles fought in Scotland, or fought by the Scots in the nearly nine hundred years when they were an independent nation. The first part of the book serves as an introduction to Scottish history, while the second section portrays the Scottish soldier throughout history. Part three gives an alphabetical guide and brief notes of the many hundred battles, skirmishes and sieges that pepper the history of Scotland. Unlike most battle books, Dance If Ye Can does not concentrate solely on the well-known battles. Rather, it gives space to many of the near-forgotten skirmishes and clan battles, as well as the more famous encounters such as Bannockburn and Culloden. The earliest battles concern the Roman invasion of 83 AD, while the last was the German attack on the Royal Navy in the Firth of Forth in 1939. In between are mentions of the wars against the Norse and the English, with various civil wars and disturbances, the Jacobite Risings and the clan wars of the Borders and Highlands. The final section is a timeline of Scottish history that brings the book to the post-devolution period in the twenty-first century.
