  • Celebrating Scottish Heroes
    Celebrating Scottish Heroes by Clarisse Godard Desmarest The 19th century in Scotland saw the emergence of an architectural trend of building monuments dedicated to the celebration of cultural heroes. In his latest book, Johnny Rodger examines the political significance of the hero building in the relationships between the people, the nation and the state. Reviewed: Johnny Rodger, The Hero Building: An Architecture of Scottish National Identity, Farnham, Ashgate Publishing Limited, 2015. A book on the nineteenth-century Scottish monumental tradition is timely given the current political situation and public debate on the place of Scotland within the UK after Brexit. In the concluding paragraph to his book The Hero Building: An Architecture of Scottish National Identity, Johnny Rodger asks whether lessons may be learnt from the 19th-century monuments built to heroes and whether they would convincingly apply to present-day Scotland. He answers that the range of political and civil discussions proper to a 19th century-context bear little comparison with contemporary events and cannot help anticipate the future. Rodger argues that “the study of this history can, however, help prevent our being confined to our own particular intellectual province of time, and open up a wider panorama of the infinite possibilities in the historical relations between the nation, the state, the land, identity, and literary and material culture” (p. 215). Although this is an architectural history book, the monuments are analysed in relation to issues of national identity, which means that the discussion crosses over into other disciplines including political history. The “hero building”: promoting the Scottish national identity The author sets out to define and study the phenomenon of the “hero building” as an architecture of Scottish national identity.

    Featuring Wallace High School in Stirling, Scotland and Their New Tartan Photo Credit Todd Wallace Taken from Stirling Castle PAGE 2 THE GUARDIAN SPRING 2018 Letter From the President Calling all CWS members to come join the members of the board in Utah for the games in Moab on November 3rd and 4th. A great time and great scenery guaranteed for all who attend. Planning our trip out to the western U.S. is progressing, but not without a few bumps and bruises. Two of the games we had planned to do have moved to new dates. But that still leaves 8 games on our itinerary. Setting up a 9000 mile trip takes a lot of planning as does running an organization like the Clan Wallace Society. Shortly council members will be asked to nominate folks to join the board. We have at least 3 board positions coming open, please step up and let us know your interested in helping run the organization. Todd has done another great job with the Newsletter. If you have an interesting story to share or would like to see an article concerning something you’re passionate about, let Todd know. We also have an excellent Website, with information about upcoming games, and other interesting facts and tidbits. Let our Webmaster know if you have something to share. For those interested, we still have some of the 50th Anniversary Coins available. See the website or your local Convener for more information. See you at the games!! Russ Letter from the Editor I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for all the kind words regarding the Winter issue! When I agreed to taking on the newsletter, I had no idea that I would have this much fun putting it all together.

Memory, the Great War, & the Rise of Scottish Nationalism “Winning Little Bannockburns”: Memory, the Great War, and the Rise of Scottish Nationalism Brooke Krancer On June 20, 1914, at the sexcentenary celebration of the Scottish defeat of the English at the Battle of Bannockburn, for- mer British prime minister Lord Rosebery addressed the youth of Scotland: Do you children feel that you, too, might grow up to be heroes like them; to be ready, if necessary, to die for your country, your freedom, and your King; and if that chance do not come, as I hope it may not, to be heroes, as you may all be in your daily lives, winning little Bannock burns for yourselves over the forces of evil? Try.1 Mere weeks later, Britain was embroiled in the First World War. The sort of rhetoric used by the English Lord Rosebery was ex- ceedingly common during the war, appropriating the memory of Bannockburn and Scotland’s martial history of victory against England in the Wars of Independence to reinforce the idea of a British rather than Scottish identity and encourage Scottish peo- ple to die for a British king and country.2 After the conflict, the Great War itself would be folded into this mythologized memory of Scotland’s history and likewise used for ideological and politi- cal reasons by different groups with varying goals.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Selected Essays on Robert Burns by G. Ross Roy by an authorized administrator of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ENCOUNTERING ROBERT BURNS: AN ORAL HISTORY1 It was through my grandfather, W. Ormiston Roy (1874-1958), a landscape gardener, horticulturalist, and book collector, that I first became acquainted with Robert Burns. In 1932, when I was eight years old, my grandfather asked my parents if they would allow him to take me along with him, just the two of us, to Scotland. They agreed, and this trip started a relationship which lasted until his death in 1958. He had a driver and a car so he didn’t have to drive, which was a pretty good thing because he was one of the more erratic drivers I’ve ever known. But we drove around; we spent about two months, as I remember. I had a birthday on the boat, my eighth birthday. We toured mostly Scotland, but we also went to England. We went around to a number of the places that tourists see, but we also went to places that were more out-of-the-way.
