It is generally agreed by those who study Roman there, will be discussed below. There were also, %ULWDLQWKDWWKHÀQDOZLWKGUDZDORIWKHDUP\IURP of course, a series of temporary marching camps the Antonine Wall occurred in the early 160s extending almost to the Moray Firth, but few if ad, although recent research indicates that the DQ\FRLQÀQGVDUHNQRZQZKLFKFRXOGDVVLVWZLWK decision to reoccupy Hadrian’s Wall was reached their dating. during the latter part of the reign of Antoninus There was thus a period of some 45 years Pius (Hodgson 2011).

In the case of the Synton hoard, the sole coin from the reign of Commodus Briglands (Rumbling Bridge), Kinross-shire is otherwise undated, but the very fact that there (1938, 1948–57): 180 silver to ad 186–7 is only one coin of this reign strongly suggests (Robertson 2000: 71, hoard 335). that deposition took place in the very early 180s To this list can now be added the 228 denarii found ad. in 2011 at Synton, Ashkirk, Roxburghshire, Since Rumbling Bridge and Synton are the only closing with a single coin of Commodus for his two Commodan hoards from Scotland which are wife, Crispina.

  • The Place Names of Fife and Kinross
    1 n tllif G i* THE PLACE NAMES OF FIFE AND KINROSS THE PLACE NAMES OF FIFE AND KINROSS BY W. J. N. LIDDALL M.A. EDIN., B.A. LOND. , ADVOCATE EDINBURGH WILLIAM GREEN & SONS 1896 TO M. J. G. MACKAY, M.A., LL.D., Advocate, SHERIFF OF FIFE AND KINROSS, AN ACCOMPLISHED WORKER IN THE FIELD OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH. INTRODUCTION The following work has two objects in view. The first is to enable the general reader to acquire a knowledge of the significance of the names of places around him—names he is daily using. A greater interest is popularly taken in this subject than is apt to be supposed, and excellent proof of this is afforded by the existence of the strange corruptions which place names are wont to assume by reason of the effort on the part of people to give some meaning to words otherwise unintelligible to them. The other object of the book is to place the results of the writer's research at the disposal of students of the same subject, or of those sciences, such as history, to which it may be auxiliary. The indisputable conclusion to which an analysis of Fife—and Kinross for this purpose may be considered a Fife— part of place names conducts is, that the nomen- clature of the county may be described as purely of Goidelic origin, that is to say, as belonging to the Irish branch of the Celtic dialects, and as perfectly free from Brythonic admixture. There are a few names of Teutonic origin, but these are, so to speak, accidental to the topography of Fife.

The tree was around 400 years old and around 30 metres tall. Oak trees of this size are barely known today. Using a range of bronze tools, including axes, the log was hollowed out and turned into a boat. The following sequence of images was commissioned by Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust from artist David Hogg. They illustrate the stages involved in the making of a logboat.

Pox Britannica: Smallpox Inoculation in Britain, 1721-1830 Abstract Inoculation has an important place in the history of medicine: not only was it the first form of preventive medicine but its history spans the so-called eighteenth century 'medical revolution'. A study of the myriad of pamphlets, books and articles on the controversial practice casts new light on these fundamental changes in the medical profession and medical practice. Whereas historians have associated the abandonment of old humoural theories and individualised therapy in favour of standardised techniques with the emergence of new institutions in the second half of the century, inoculation suggests that changes began as early as the 1720s. Though inoculation was initially accompanied by a highly individualised preparation of diet and drugs, more routinised sequences of therapy appeared the 1740s and by the late 1760s all inoculated patients followed exactly the same preparative regimen. This in turn made possible the institutionalised provision of inoculation, first through the system of poor relief, later by dispensaries and charitable societies.
