  • Scottish Society at the Time of William Wallace

    Scottish Society at the Time of William Wallace

    46 Scottish Society at the time of William Wallace That the Scots were identified as separate people by the late tenth and early eleventh century can be seen from the chronicles of Durham which record their passage and both successful and failed attempts at conquest. I Whether they were independent or vassal kings was not a matter of major significance at the time. Some of them looked to England for support. Malcolm Canmore in 1072 was forced to submit to William the Conqueror at Abernethy. This did not stop him raiding southwards later. His son Edgar said in a charter that he was king "by the grant of my lord, William, king of the English and by paternal inheritance"2 and he bore a sword at William Rufus's coronation. Henry I took to wife a Scottish princess. Later kings of Scotland took English queens. The Scottish kings did homage to the English for English lands such as the earldom of Huntingdon, but then the English kings did homage to the French for some of the lands they held in France.3 More interesting perhaps is the question 'What was Scotland in Wallace's time?' It was an area which lacked the cultural homogeneity of Ireland or Wales. The Islands and the West Coast were part of the Scandinavian kingdom down to 1100, spoke Norse and used Odal law. The kingdom ruled by the descendants of Kenneth MacApline (died c.858) who called themselves kings of the Scots, which had held sway over Gaels and Picts in the west, had by Wallace's time spread to the south and east which was 'English' speaking.

  • Duncan Mcneil's Presentation on the Village of Gargunnock Drawn From

    Duncan Mcneil's Presentation on the Village of Gargunnock Drawn From

    Duncan McNeil’s Presentation on the Village of Gargunnock drawn from the old Statistical Accounts of 1796 & 1841 From the local history collection of John McLaren [email protected] Web Site www.gargunnockvillagehistory.co.uk Duncan McNeil’s Presentation on Gargunnock drawn from the old Statistical Accounts of 1796 & 1841 Mr McNeil’s handwritten presentation, delivered in the church hall in 1947, is held in the Stirling Council Archives at Borrowmeadow Road. It runs to 74 pages and contains an instruction at the end of line 3 on page 49 to go to an additional page 50 on which there are two paragraphs, one on the village and the other on the Rev John Stark with the further instruction to then return to the first page 50. Doing so would have resulted in the additional paragraphs being so obviously out of context that I have instead placed them in locations where they sit more comfortably within the surrounding text. They are printed in red. The photo above is of Duncan McNeil in the early 1950s. Duncan’s father Dugald worked all his life for the Stirlings of Gargunnock and Duncan, in turn, served in the same way. He and his wife lived in Shrub Cottage, Manse Brae but after his retirement moved to Hillview, Main St., Gargunnock. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The matter which has gone to make up this presentation tonight has been taken almost entirely from two old Statistical Accounts of the parish of Gargunnock, which I have been fortunate enough to come across some years ago. These accounts were compiled by the Parish Ministers of that time, one in 1796 almost 152 years ago by the Rev.
