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.

History 3423F (001) Uw
The University of Western Ontario Department of History 2015-2016 HISTORY 3423F (001) UW NORTH OF THE WALL: SCOTLAND FROM FOUNDATIONS TO 1603. Wednesday, fall term, 9.30 a.m. – 11.30 a.m. Dr B. Murison, Lawson Hall 1220 Room: STVH 1119 Office phone: 661-2111 ext.84985 Email: [email protected] Office hours: to be announced COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES The outcome of the Scottish referendum on independence in 2014 (45% in favour, 55% against) and the recent 2015 election in Britain where the Scottish National Party took 56 0f 59 Scottish seats, sufficiently demonstrate the current strength of Scottish nationalism. The aim of this course is to investigate the creation of a sense of Scottish identity, from its earliest beginnings up to the union of the crowns of Scotland and England in 1603. Within a broad chronological framework, a number of topics will be investigated. For example, to what extent is the Scottish identity rooted in geography or race? What was the rôle of church and crown in bringing disparate peoples together? Is it true to say that “Scotland was born fighting”? Is it helpful to view the kingdom as culturally split between Highlands and Lowlands? How did urban and rural life develop in the mediaeval and early modern periods? Has the mythology attached to well-known figures in Scottish History such as Saint Margaret, William Wallace and Mary, Queen of Scots, facilitated or impeded our understanding of Scottish identity? The class will meet once a week for two hours and class sessions will include both lectures and seminars.

Rethinking Scotland's Neolithic: Combining Circumstance with Context
Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 136 (2006), 7–46 BROPHY: RETHINKING SCOTLAND’S NEOLITHIC | 7 Rethinking Scotland’s Neolithic: combining circumstance with context Kenneth Brophy* ABSTRACT In 1985, a seminal review of Scottish Neolithic studies from an outside perspective written by Ian Kinnes was published in these Proceedings. Kinnes’s paper offered a discussion of the state of knowledge of Scotland’s Neolithic at that time, reviewing 40 years of excavations results. He was also critical of, as he saw it, the parochial and derivative nature of Neolithic studies in Scotland. In this paper, written 20 years after Kinnes’s signiﬁcant contribution, the response to this charge will be discussed. A review of major developments in Neolithic studies since 1985 has also been undertaken, the results of which are included here. The impact of developer-funded archaeology and aerial photography in particular has generated substantial new data not available to Kinnes; these data have been generated within a new theoretical climate in Neolithic studies, and this too will be addressed. Reviews of evidence for settlement and monuments are presented as case studies to exemplify progress made since 1985. There is no reason, other than that of modern external source. Similar criticisms have more political expediency, why the ‘Scottish Neolithic’ recently been made by Barclay (2001a; 2004a; should exist as an entity. This poses the basic 2004b), who contended that only in the 1970s problem: parochial deﬁnition without parochial did prehistorians in Scotland move beyond thought (Kinnes 1985, 16). the pervasive image of Scotland as a largely Just over 20 years ago, Ian Kinnes wrote highland landscape in the Neolithic.

It has been a collaborative venture involving many experts who have generously given freely of their time. I know that Historic Scotland has been delighted to support the Orkney College UHI in organising and co-ordinating the production of this Research Agenda for Scotland’s ﬁrst archaeological World Heritage Site, The Heart of Neolithic Orkney. We very much hope that this Research Agenda will prove a model for Site managers throughout the world, as well as others dealing with the challenges and opportunities of their local archaeological inheritance elsewhere in Scotland.
