They have to be stable whether we are playing on a freezing cold stage in Inverness or in the blistering heat of Saudi Arabia. Wallace Bagpipes have definitely stood up to our demands...And more.” - Willie Armstrong, Red Hot Chilli Pipers & Scottish Power Pipe Band (Former Member) “I currently have a very old set of pipes which are a very good set of drones but the sound I’m getting out of my new Wallace Bagpipes is right up there too which is very impressive for a set of pipes that are less than a year old! Most of the school band are playing Wallace Bagpipes and I’ve been getting great comments from the judges about our drone sound.” - Pipe Major Lee Moore, Preston Lodge High School Pipe Band “I have played and dealt with just about every bagpipe manufacturer out there and I have never come across the professionalism I have experienced with Wallace bagpipes. Onstage and in the studio with Gaelic Storm I need a bagpipe that sounds great, looks great, stays in tune and is reliable. Wallace bagpipes do all of this and more. I recommend them to both my peers and students for a sound investment.” - Peter Purvis, Gaelic Storm, bagpipelesson.com “My Wallace Bagpipes have a staying in tune power that very few other makes have to offer, I knew right then that I had a fantastic set of pipes under my arm!” - Scott Wallace, Field Marshall Montgomery Pipe Band www.wallacebagpipes.com [email protected] 0141 - 954 - 1234 Engraving Designs Nickel Design - Thistle Nickel Design - Shamrock Nickel Design - Wallace Knot Nickel Design - Dot Knot Nickel Design - Lion Rampant Nickel Design - Fire Dept.

    Scottish Heritage USA NEWSLETTER MAY-JUNE 2020 Presumed site of 0ne of William Wallace’s hidden forts (©FLS by Skyscape survey 2020) ISSUE #1-2020 RESEARCHERS FIND WILLIAM WALLACE’S “HOUSE” ilia Wallace, 13th century “freedom fighter” and his 16 fighting men supposedly used this campsite (or fort) named W “Wallace House” to attack the British in small skirmishes. The site is in Dumfries and Galloway council area. Forestry & Land Scotland archaeologist, Matt Ritchie, conducted an aerial survey to give us a glimpse of the site (pictured above). Just think, Wallace and his men occupied this site over 700 years ago! Some think the fort was the staging ground for plans to capture the Scottish castle of Lochmaben in 1297. The castle held a strong defensive position high enough to have a clear view of the lands south of the castle. Historian Michael Brown (University of St. Andrews, Scotland) describes Wallace as a “patriotic hero whose only concern was the liberty and protection of his fellow Scots.” Wallace was fed up with England’s treatment of Scotland and he rallied Scotland’s fiercest patriots (Jacobites) to defeat the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. However, that was the last victory for one of Scotland’s most famous patriots as he was ultimately caught, imprisoned, and executed for his “crimes against England.” Because Wallace’s movements were unknown after Stirling, Ritchie’s team took hundreds of pictures and cobbled them together to form the images into the model above. It would be fantastic if this fort were actually built by Wallace and his men! Wallace’s House on an Ordinance Survey First Edition map of the area, Several figures prominent in the history of Scottish Independence including published circa 1857 William Wallace, Bonnie Prince Charlie and Mary, Queen of Scots.

  • The Mother Tongue J Derrick Mcclure
    The Mother Tongue J Derrick McClure We are grateful to J Derrick McClure for writing this article for inclusion on the Scots Language Centre website. ********** The old Scots tongue, the language that can still be heard in the mouth of many a lad and lass from the Shetland Isles to the Mull of Galloway, has as wonderful a history as any of the languages of the world. To understand the life of any language, we must know two things. We must know the structure of the language itself: its sounds and spelling, its grammar, its words. And we must also know what the language means, and has meant, to the people who speak it. There is no language that has not changed with the passing of the years: the English of Shakespeare is not the English spoken today. A language can change so much that it becomes an entirely different thing: French, Italian, Spanish and several other European tongues were all one and the same language, Latin, many centuries ago. And a language can simply die, leaving no trace: the Indians of America and Canada have now for the most part forgotten their mother tongues and speak only English, and many people fear that if we are not careful our own Gaelic and Scots will go the same way. Gaelic is related to Irish; Scots is related to English. What that means is that there was once a single language - Old Irish for one of the pairs, Old English (sometimes called "Anglo-Saxon") for the other - which divided into two, developing and changing in different ways in the kingdoms of Scotland and Ireland, or Scotland and England.

  • Hogmanay Rituals: Scotland’S New Year’S Eve Celebrations
    Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge Suggested citation: Frew, E. & Mair. J. (2014). Hogmanay Rituals: Scotland’s New Year’s Eve Celebrations. In Frost, W. & Laing, J. (Eds) Rituals and traditional events in the modern world. Routledge Hogmanay Rituals: Scotland’s New Year’s Eve Celebrations Elspeth A. Frew La Trobe University Judith Mair Department of Management Monash University ABSTRACT Hogmanay, which is the name given to New Year’s Eve in Scotland, is a long-standing festival with roots going far back into pagan times. However, such festivals are losing their traditions and are becoming almost generic public celebrations devoid of the original rites and rituals that originally made them unique. Using the framework of Falassi’s (1987) festival rites and rituals, this chapter utilises a duoethnographic approach to examine Hogmanay traditions in contemporary Scotland and the extent to which these have been transferred to another country. The chapter reflects on the traditions which have survived and those that have been consigned to history. Hogmanay and Paganism: Scotland’s New Year’s Eve Celebrations INTRODUCTION New Year’s Eve (or Hogmanay as it is known in Scotland) is celebrated in many countries around the world, and often takes the form of a public celebration with fireworks, music and a carnival atmosphere. However, Hogmanay itself is a long-standing festival in Scotland with roots going far back into pagan times. Some of the rites and rituals associated with Hogmanay are centuries old, and the tradition of celebrating New Year Eve (as Hogmanay) on a grander scale than Christmas has been a part of Scottish life for many hundreds of years.

  • January 2021 Newsletter
    Scottish Heritage USA NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2021 Vikings leading the Hogmanay Torchlight Parade, Edinburgh ISSUE #1-2021 HAPPY NEW YEAR & HAPPY HOGMANAY! H OGMANAY may be Scotland’s New Year celebration, but it lasts three to five days with unusual, weird and wild H traditions. It starts on Christmas with the Edinburgh Torchlight Parade and is all downhill from there! Look to Scotland to find the best, most spectacular fire festivals in the UK. Combine the primitive impulse to light up the long nights (the ancient idea that fire purifies and chases away evil spirits) and the natural Scottish impulse to party to the wee small hours and you end up with some of the most dazzling and daring midwinter celebrations in Europe. At one time, most Scottish towns celebrated the New Year with huge bonfires and torchlight processions. Many have disappeared, but those that are left are real Site where the horde was found humdingers. Here are the five of the best winter fire festivals in Scotland: STONEHAVEN FIRE FESTIVAL: Strong Scots dare-devils parade through the town on New Year's Eve swinging 16-pound balls of fire around themselves and over their heads. Each "swinger" has his or her own secret recipe for creating the fireball and keeping it lit. Thousands come to watch this famous event on the North Sea, south of Aberdeen. It all gets underway before midnight with bands of pipers and wild drumming. Then a lone piper, playing Scotland the Brave, leads the pipers into town. At the stroke of midnight, they raise their flaming balls over their heads and begin to swing and twirl them, showering the street, themselves and usually the 12,000 strong crowd, with sparks.

  • AJ Aitken a History of Scots
    A. J. Aitken A history of Scots (1985)1 Edited by Caroline Macafee Editor’s Introduction In his ‘Sources of the vocabulary of Older Scots’ (1954: n. 7; 2015), AJA had remarked on the distribution of Scandinavian loanwords in Scots, and deduced from this that the language had been influenced by population movements from the North of England. In his ‘History of Scots’ for the introduction to The Concise Scots Dictionary, he follows the historian Geoffrey Barrow (1980) in seeing Scots as descended primarily from the Anglo-Danish of the North of England, with only a marginal role for the Old English introduced earlier into the South-East of Scotland. AJA concludes with some suggestions for further reading: this section has been omitted, as it is now, naturally, out of date. For a much fuller and more detailed history up to 1700, incorporating much of AJA’s own work on the Older Scots period, the reader is referred to Macafee and †Aitken (2002). Two textual anthologies also offer historical treatments of the language: Görlach (2002) and, for Older Scots, Smith (2012). Corbett et al. eds. (2003) gives an accessible overview of the language, and a more detailed linguistic treatment can be found in Jones ed. (1997). How to cite this paper (adapt to the desired style): Aitken, A. J. (1985, 2015) ‘A history of Scots’, in †A. J. Aitken, ed.

  • 3 January 2021 Dear Friends of Elmwood, My Step-Grandmother
    3 January 2021 Dear Friends of Elmwood, My step-grandmother came from the village of Abernethy, near Perth in Scotland. I remember her every New Year’s Day because her birthday fell on that day. From her I learned the bit of ‘folklore’ that says horses, too, add another year to their age on New Year’s Day. Holy Hogmanay, Batman! The Scots are big on belittling things (including themselves – so, that’s to their credit, as they’re quick to point out). After the Reformation, the Scottish Nation belittled Christmas rather harshly. They could be rude about it too; or rather, as they would say, they were ‘plain spoken’ about it, not circling around the point, as the English do, but landing directly upon it with a loud thwack. “Doun wi’ Yule an’ aw thy Papal abominations an’ Pisky ways!” In 1640, the Scottish Parliament proclaimed a new law: “The Kirk within this Kingdom is now purged of all Superstitious Observation of Days, Yule, and all Observation thereof.” Christmas did not regain its standing as a legal public holiday in Scotland until 1958. To this day, Scottish Presbyterianism sports a scowl at festivity, frivolity, and foolishly frolicking fun – if this fun is in any way tied to the Kirk and its Religion. Do the Scots take to Covid Lockdowns with a grim and knowing satisfaction, I wonder? Maybe it’s no accident that the definitive Scrooge was played by a gifted Scottish actor, Alastair Sim. Remember Cratchit petitioning him for a ‘day off’ at Christmas? “‘A poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every twenty-fifth of December!’ said Scrooge, buttoning his great coat to the chin.
