    13 Courses in 13 days: A golfing experience across the Land of Saltire By Javier Pintos On May 22nd I left Buenos Aires on a trip that in the company we believe is the seed for many more golf trips to “The Home of Golf”. Although we have been in the past to Scotland and we have sold the destination for the past 4 years, this trip was a stronger bet as we were leading a 34 golfers party and we added some more days at three new destinations we had not visited yet (Inverness, Aberdeen and East Lothian) and which we believe deserve to be considered when travelling to The Saltire for a golf trip. Scotland offers not only links golf at the highest level but a lot more for devoted golfers: playing courses were golf oldest Major Championship has been played, visiting places with over 200 years of history with our game and walking along towns that breath golf in every corner. Our first three days were in East Lothian playing Gullane no.1, Muirfield (The Honorable Company of Edimburgh Golfers) and North Berwick using it as a Fam Trip trying to discover every secret of this area in order to be able to tell our customers what to expect when visiting this corner of the country. And we believe it holds one of the biggest advantages: you are so close to Edimburgh that you can go after golf to walk the city, have dinner or just discover Murrayfield, the first Rugby Museum in the world. The golfing tour was about to start, it was an intense journey throught 13 classic venues, playing them, taking pictures, glancing at every detail and breathing golf in every step.

  • May and June 2020 Newsletter
    Scottish Heritage USA NEWSLETTER MAY-JUNE 2020 Presumed site of 0ne of William Wallace’s hidden forts (©FLS by Skyscape survey 2020) ISSUE #1-2020 RESEARCHERS FIND WILLIAM WALLACE’S “HOUSE” ilia Wallace, 13th century “freedom fighter” and his 16 fighting men supposedly used this campsite (or fort) named W “Wallace House” to attack the British in small skirmishes. The site is in Dumfries and Galloway council area. Forestry & Land Scotland archaeologist, Matt Ritchie, conducted an aerial survey to give us a glimpse of the site (pictured above). Just think, Wallace and his men occupied this site over 700 years ago! Some think the fort was the staging ground for plans to capture the Scottish castle of Lochmaben in 1297. The castle held a strong defensive position high enough to have a clear view of the lands south of the castle. Historian Michael Brown (University of St. Andrews, Scotland) describes Wallace as a “patriotic hero whose only concern was the liberty and protection of his fellow Scots.” Wallace was fed up with England’s treatment of Scotland and he rallied Scotland’s fiercest patriots (Jacobites) to defeat the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. However, that was the last victory for one of Scotland’s most famous patriots as he was ultimately caught, imprisoned, and executed for his “crimes against England.” Because Wallace’s movements were unknown after Stirling, Ritchie’s team took hundreds of pictures and cobbled them together to form the images into the model above. It would be fantastic if this fort were actually built by Wallace and his men! Wallace’s House on an Ordinance Survey First Edition map of the area, Several figures prominent in the history of Scottish Independence including published circa 1857 William Wallace, Bonnie Prince Charlie and Mary, Queen of Scots.

  • The Mother Tongue J Derrick Mcclure
    The Mother Tongue J Derrick McClure We are grateful to J Derrick McClure for writing this article for inclusion on the Scots Language Centre website. ********** The old Scots tongue, the language that can still be heard in the mouth of many a lad and lass from the Shetland Isles to the Mull of Galloway, has as wonderful a history as any of the languages of the world. To understand the life of any language, we must know two things. We must know the structure of the language itself: its sounds and spelling, its grammar, its words. And we must also know what the language means, and has meant, to the people who speak it. There is no language that has not changed with the passing of the years: the English of Shakespeare is not the English spoken today. A language can change so much that it becomes an entirely different thing: French, Italian, Spanish and several other European tongues were all one and the same language, Latin, many centuries ago. And a language can simply die, leaving no trace: the Indians of America and Canada have now for the most part forgotten their mother tongues and speak only English, and many people fear that if we are not careful our own Gaelic and Scots will go the same way. Gaelic is related to Irish; Scots is related to English. What that means is that there was once a single language - Old Irish for one of the pairs, Old English (sometimes called "Anglo-Saxon") for the other - which divided into two, developing and changing in different ways in the kingdoms of Scotland and Ireland, or Scotland and England.

  • Hogmanay Rituals: Scotland’S New Year’S Eve Celebrations
    Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge Suggested citation: Frew, E. & Mair. J. (2014). Hogmanay Rituals: Scotland’s New Year’s Eve Celebrations. In Frost, W. & Laing, J. (Eds) Rituals and traditional events in the modern world. Routledge Hogmanay Rituals: Scotland’s New Year’s Eve Celebrations Elspeth A. Frew La Trobe University Judith Mair Department of Management Monash University ABSTRACT Hogmanay, which is the name given to New Year’s Eve in Scotland, is a long-standing festival with roots going far back into pagan times. However, such festivals are losing their traditions and are becoming almost generic public celebrations devoid of the original rites and rituals that originally made them unique. Using the framework of Falassi’s (1987) festival rites and rituals, this chapter utilises a duoethnographic approach to examine Hogmanay traditions in contemporary Scotland and the extent to which these have been transferred to another country. The chapter reflects on the traditions which have survived and those that have been consigned to history. Hogmanay and Paganism: Scotland’s New Year’s Eve Celebrations INTRODUCTION New Year’s Eve (or Hogmanay as it is known in Scotland) is celebrated in many countries around the world, and often takes the form of a public celebration with fireworks, music and a carnival atmosphere. However, Hogmanay itself is a long-standing festival in Scotland with roots going far back into pagan times. Some of the rites and rituals associated with Hogmanay are centuries old, and the tradition of celebrating New Year Eve (as Hogmanay) on a grander scale than Christmas has been a part of Scottish life for many hundreds of years.

  • The Open Is the Oldest of the Four Major Championships in Professional Golf and the Only One Contested Outside the United States
    The Open is the oldest of the four major championships in professional golf and the only one contested outside the United States. Always played on a coastal ‘links’ course, there are now ten courses on the rota, five in Scotland. This unforgettable tour will take you to each of the five Open Venues in Scotland to experience for yourself the challenges faced by the world’s top golfers at the toughest major of them all. Along the way your guide will discuss other places of interest with you, exploring the glorious scenery and history of the surrounding area. There will be plenty of stops for refreshments, and ‘retail therapy – the choice is yours! Located 45 minutes’ East of Edinburgh, Muirfield is home of ‘The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers’, and a ‘men only’ club until March 2017. Having rejected the idea of women members in May 2016 and been briefly removed from the Open rota, the members re-considered their position and agreed to ‘welcome women to their waiting list’. Considered to be the fairest test of all the Open venues, there are fewer quirky bounces and hidden dangers than most links courses contain, though tall heather, blind shots and deep bunkers are still there to ‘punish’ bad shots. The challenge lies in the layout of the course. Most links courses run along the coast and then back again. Muirfield, is arranged as two loops of nine holes, one clockwise, one anticlockwise. This means every hole on the course has a different wind direction from the tee. No more than three consecutive holes follow the same direction at any stage.
