PREFACE. The first edition of the late Mr Mackenzie's "History of the Mathesons" appeared in 1882, and the book has now been long out of print. Mr Mackenzie had a difficult task in writing this work, for though the Clan in the 14th century undoubtedly rivalled in position and power the neighbouring Mackenzies, yet through the action of the Macdonalds in the following century its unity was broken, and it became a " minor clan," with no charters, and with no references thereto in public documents. The individual history of the Northern Clans at best begins with the 15th century, but here Mr Mackenzie had only the clan traditions to avail himself of until the 17th century, when the minor clans all over the North come into the light of history from under the shadow of the larger clans and their chiefs.

In isolation it is difficult to adequately assess the key variables behind why something did not happen, but when compared to a similar violent case, this form of academic exercise can be greatly beneficial. This thesis demonstrates what we can learn from studying ‘negative cases’ - nationalist movements that abstain from political violence - particularly with regards to how the state should respond to minimise the likelihood of violent activity, as well as the interplay of societal factors in the initiation of violent revolt. This is achieved by considering the cases of Wales, England and Scotland, the latter of which recently underwent a referendum on independence from the United Kingdom (accomplished without the use of political violence) and comparing them with the national movement in Ireland, looking at both violent and non-violent manifestations of nationalism in both territories.

  • Rethinking the Traditional Periodisation of the Scots Language Joanna Kopaczyk
    Rethinking the traditional periodisation of the Scots language Joanna Kopaczyk 1 The aims of the paper Drawing timelines and setting boundaries between stages in language history is an arbitrary exercise. As Görlach warns in a footnote to his periodisation of the language of advertising, ‘[a]ll period boundaries in historical disciplines are open to objections’ (2002a: 102, fn.1), of which the author of the present paper is very much aware. Languages change gradually and therefore their historical development is a continuum, rather than a set of chronologically ordered neat and homogenous boxes, divided by clear-cut borders. Such borders create a certain illusion of well-defined stages in language history; therefore, they should be based on firm language-internal and extra-linguistic criteria, allowing the temporal continuum to be ‘chopped up’ in a systematic and justifiable manner into more manageable chunks. Periodisation is useful because it allows observing both focal points on the timeline as well as transitional periods. It also creates a framework of reference for comparative purposes: either in a diachronic perspective within a single language, or in a cross-linguistic perspective, when juxtaposing two or more languages at a given stage in history. In this paper I would like to reconsider the most popular, one may say, traditional periodisation of the Scots language (Aitken 1985: xiii), using extra-linguistic and intra-linguistic criteria. One of the reasons why such an analysis seems worthwhile is that certain labels applied to the stages in the history of Scots, for instance the ‘Middle Scots period’, seem to escape such criteria and create an anachronistic picture of Scots.

Scottish parochial education in the 19th century has its roots in the Reformation. The Scots Confession of 1560 and the First Book of Discipline furnish the doctrine and ground-plan for an educational system which evolved over three centuries. Behind these documents lies the teaching of John Calvin, who inspired Knox to plan for 'the virtuous education and godly upbringing of the youth of this realm,' and to make every citizen in the commonwealth ’a p ro fitab le member w ithin the s-me.’ At the beginning of the 19th century the Church was in control of education by means of i t s p arish schools, or through Assembly end Society schools.

Dr Alexander Macbain's work on Names of Places deals with the Cehic names of pre-Gaehc " " he calls Pictish with Gaehc origin which ; names, ancl with names of Norse origin which have been transmitted through Gaelic. The area from which he took his materials was chiefly Inverness-shire, Sutherland, and Lewis. His views on the language spoken by the Picts are " given in his paper on Ptolemy's Geography of Scotland" (published separately), in his edition of Skene's "Highlanders of Scotland," and in several papers contained in this volume, particu- " larly that on the Place-Names of Inverness- shire." His position is that the Picts spoke that the Celtic Early British or a dialect of it, and language of early Britain was practically homo- geneous from the English Channel to the very North. He agrees with Kuno Meyer in holding " that no Gael ever set his foot on British soil save from a vessel that had put out from Ire- larid."
