PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

The excavation yielded two radiocarbon dates derived from destruction layers, which are discussed along with the results of a limited programme of archaeomagnetic dating at the same location. INTRODUCTION ramparts, it also has an entrance so may not be part of the oblong fort series. In addition, The series of oblong, gateless and often there has been significant debate over vitrified forts are one of the iconic type-sites of contradictory sets of dating evidence from the the Scottish Iron Age.

This article presents development of modern Scottish archaeology, the results and implications of the first new with its origins in the intellectual explosion excavation evidence for over 30 years. of the Scottish enlightenment; indeed, the earliest research (Williams 1777) just predates the founding of the Society of Antiquaries ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND of Scotland in 1781.

  • Man in Moray
    10 0 I w! Fig.2.1 Moray. MANIN MORAY 5,000 years of history Ian Keillar Synopsis The extent of Moray is defined and the physical conditions briefly described. Traces of Mesolithic man have been found in the Culbin, and later Neolithic peoples found Moray an attractive place to settle. As metal working became established, trades routes followed and Moray flourished. As the climate deteriorated, so, apparently, did the political situation and defensive sites became necessary. The Romans came and went and the Picts rose and fell. The Vikings did not linger on these shores and MacBeth never met any witches near Forres. The Kings of Scots divided and ruled until they themselves set a pattern, which still continues, that if you want to get on you must go south to London. In distant Moray, brave men like Montrose and foolish men like Prince Charles Edward, fought for their rightful king. The Stuarts, however, ill rewarded their followers. Road makers and bridge builders half tamed the rivers, and the railways com­ pleted the process. With wars came boom years for the farmers, but even feather beds wear out and Moray is once more in apparent decline. However, all declines are relative and the old adage still has relevance: 'Speak wee] o the Hielans but live in the Laich.' Physical The name Moray is now applied to a local authority administrative District extending from west of Forres and the Findhorn to Cullen and stretching down in an irregular triangle into the highlands of the Cairngorms (Fig.2. l ). In Medieval times, Moray reached as far as Lochalsh on the west coast and there has always been some difficulty in defining the bound­ aries of the province.

The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

  • Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland in August 14-26, 2014: Journal of Lyle Dunbar
    Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland in August 14-26, 2014: Journal of Lyle Dunbar Introduction The Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland from August 14-26, 2014, was organized for Clan Dunbar members with the primary objective to visit sites associated with the Dunbar family history in Scotland. This Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland focused on Dunbar family history at sites in southeast Scotland around Dunbar town and Dunbar Castle, and in the northern highlands and Moray. Lyle Dunbar, a Clan Dunbar member from San Diego, CA, participated in both the 2014 tour, as well as a previous Clan Dunbar 2009 Tour of Scotland, which focused on the Dunbar family history in the southern border regions of Scotland, the northern border regions of England, the Isle of Mann, and the areas in southeast Scotland around the town of Dunbar and Dunbar Castle. The research from the 2009 trip was included in Lyle Dunbar’s book entitled House of Dunbar- The Rise and Fall of a Scottish Noble Family, Part I-The Earls of Dunbar, recently published in May, 2014. Part I documented the early Dunbar family history associated with the Earls of Dunbar from the founding of the earldom in 1072, through the forfeiture of the earldom forced by King James I of Scotland in 1435. Lyle Dunbar is in the process of completing a second installment of the book entitled House of Dunbar- The Rise and Fall of a Scottish Noble Family, Part II- After the Fall, which will document the history of the Dunbar family in Scotland after the fall of the earldom of Dunbar in 1435, through the mid-1700s, when many Scots, including his ancestors, left Scotland for America.

  • A Medieval Logboat from the River Conon | 307
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot 145 (2015), 307–340 A MEDIEVAL LOGBOAT FROM THE RIVER CONON | 307 A medieval logboat from the River Conon: towards an understanding of riverine transport in Highland Scotland Robert J C Mowat*, Trevor Cowie†, Anne Crone‡ and Graeme Cavers‡ ABSTRACT Three timbers held in store at the National Museums of Scotland have been identified as the incomplete remains of a logboat that was found in the River Conon near Dingwall in 1874. Notwithstanding their poor condition, they were felt to justify dating (by both radiocarbon and dendrochronology), laser scanning (to create a ‘virtual’ reconstruction) and re-publication, subsequent to that by Mowat (1996: 22, 24, no 28 and 86, nos A21–22). Radiocarbon dating showed the vessel to be of medieval date, while tree-ring evidence indicated that it was probably fashioned in the late 13th or early 14th centuries from an oak tree of some 300 years growth. This is the first logboat in Scotland to be dated by dendrochronology, and the results significantly extend the coverage of Scottish medieval tree-ring dates north of Inverness. Specific features suggest that the remains may have formed one element within a vessel of paired (or possibly multiple) form, intended for the cross-river transport of heavy loads. These results invite wider consideration of the role of simple or ‘undeveloped’ types of watercraft in riverine transport in Highland Scotland and elsewhere. INTRODUCTION The ‘canoe’ – in modern terminology, a logboat – was donated by Dr William Bruce of Dingwall, Trevor Cowie through Sir Robert Christison, Bart. After On 12 December 1881, the Society of Antiquaries starting his career in general practice in his native of Scotland noted the following donation to Aberdeenshire, Bruce moved to Ross-shire in the collections of what was then the National 1870, where he lived until his death in 1920.

The study aims to show how careful study of local place-names can be a powerful way of illustrating local history. Methodology Collation and tabulation of local place-names; analysis and classification Reference to the local archaeological record Examination of local folklore and history Selection of 6 place-names for in-depth study Interviews with residents: pronunciation, understanding and other information Site visits and project diary Participation in ARCH Route-ways project in Evanton: Map study Interactive quiz and discussion with P7 pupils at Kiltearn Primary School Introduction In discussing the phenomenology of landscape, Christopher Tilley reminds us that a sense of attachment to place is frequently derived from the stability of meanings associated with it (Tilley 1994). Place is both "internal" and "external" to the human subject, a personally embedded centre of meanings and a physical locus for action. The naming and identification of topographical features is crucial for the establishment and maintenance of their identity.

During vitrification, the granular wall rocks partially melt, sinter viscously and densify, reducing inter-particle porosity.
