Dunelm, M.A. Sheffield Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Arts University of Glasgow 2012 Dedicated to Dr Howard Thomas Miles (1931-2006) Abstract Battlefield sites are some of the most iconic locations in any nation’s store of heritage attractions and continue to capture the imagination of visitors. They have strong historic, cultural, nationalistic and moral resonances and speak to people on a national as well as a local scale. They have the power to provoke contention but at the same time foster understanding and respect through the consideration of deep moral questions. Battlefields are suffused with powerful stories of courage, sacrifice, betrayal and even cowardice. They have a strong sense of place and can provoke a range of cognitive and emotional reactions.

  • The Day Loch Ness Rocked
    The day Loch Ness Rocked th On the 24 June 2006 Loch Ness took centre stage as Fatboy Slim and a host of other DJ legends rolled into town. This was just one more stop on a lengthy world tour; Brazil, Australia, Japan, Dores. On every level this was a major coup (a report calculated that the region benefited to the tune of £7m) proving again that Scotland can play at the very top with the big boys. They said it couldn't be done, that the roads would crumble, the infrastructure shatter and the sky fall in. Chaos in Inverness with fans stranded and, if they did make it, boiling clouds of midges would eat them alive. But by 2pm the bulk of the 23,400 fans were happily on site, the hardcore claiming a space at the front and the oldies laying down picnic rugs at the back. How fresh, how exciting, when generations of people, from all over the country gather together in peace and harmony to listen to some music which was 'wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats' (Section 1 63, The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act) , that in some other situations would be considered illegal and dangerous. Skye's Mylo proved that the local talent was alive and kicking. The Audiobullys were late, but well worth waiting for. The Scratch Perverts were magnificent. But it really started to kick off when Carl Cox took over the decks. Here was one of the original 'superstar' DJ's demonstrating how, over a decade ago, he became one of the highest paid people in the country to lay a slice of vinyl on a record player.

ABSTRACT Selling Scotland towards an intercultural approach to export marketing involving differentiation on the basis of "Scottishness" THIS dissertation examines opportunities for Scottish exporters to differentiate in target markets overseas on the basis of their Scottishness. Findings include: 1. ultimately, identity is largely conferred by others, rather than being shaped by assertions on one's own behalf; 2. definitional experiences of "Scottishness" may frequently be derived from and mediated by determinants that lie outwith Scotland; 3. constructed identifications of key or core Scottish values, by their syncretism, present impoverished views of Scotland; 4.
