  • Historical Customs and Dress of Scotland
    Historical Customs and Dress of Scotland Christy Morgan February 2014 Traditional Highland Dress - Male Includes: Kilts (“skirts”) or Trews (trousers) Sporran – pouches worn around the waist to function as pockets Sgian Dubh – short-bladed knife tucked into the kilt hose Ghillies Brogues – tongueless shoes Dress Act of 1746 The Dress Act of 1746 was part of the Act of Proscription which made wearing “the Highland Dress” illegal in Scotland. The intended purpose was to weaken Scottish support for the restoration of the Stuart King James II of England to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland… known as the Jacobite Risings, which occurred between 1689 and 1746. Punishment for Noncompliance – “For the first offence, shall be liable to be imprisoned for 6 months, and on the second offence, to be transported to any of His Majesty's plantations beyond the seas, there to remain for the space of seven years.” (Wikipedia – Dress Act) The law was repealed 36 years later in 1782. By that time, kilts and tartans were no longer ordinary Highland wear. Clan Tartans Evidence in the literature suggests that the concept of a tartan being associated with an particular clan may be a relatively modern invention (after 1745). Some writings suggest that clan identification was achieved solely through decoration of the bonnet with the clan crest, colored ribbons, or other items such as sprigs of heather or feathers. At a meeting of the Celtic Union in Edinburgh in 1948, it was stated by Lord Lyon King of Arms, Sir Francis J. Grant that : “Records establish that tartans had been worn in Scotland as far back as 1440.

  • Rex Pictorum ~ the History of the Kings of the Picts
    Rex Pictorum The History of the Kings of the Picts Compiled from various ancient documents recorded in Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales, principally the 10th Century Pictish Chronicles, Rex Pictorum is an inventory of the kings of Pictland, together with biographical information where available, and general historical notes and appendices on the Pictish people themselves. ***** 1 Foreword. Standing one calm autumn day some years ago on the Moot Hill in Scone, I became aware that the falling leaves from the surrounding Beech trees were landing gently on the very site where the old Kings of Pictland had been crowned. I noticed, from the apparent lack of interest shown, that none of the tourists wandering around the hill were giving much thought to the momentous deeds and events that had taken place there in Scotland’s distant past and I confess that I felt a little sad. There was the odd comment about Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, having been crowned there, but nobody seemed to care about the Picts. Then it came to me that, in fairness to those visitors to Scone that sunny late September day, I shouldn’t be surprised, for how could they be expected to show an interest in a People and a history about which they knew next to nothing? To all intents and purposes the Picts, even by the vast majority of Scots, are considered a forgotten race and a people of the past. Doomed, one might say, to oblivion. I wished that somehow there were something I could do personally to make people more aware of the Picts, to bring them back from the ‘Abyss’, as it were.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS Throughout the 18th century, Irish dance was taught by traveling dance masters. When they met at fairs, they challenged each other to public dancing contest s that only ended when one of them dropped with fatigue. Solo dancers were held in high esteem. Barn doors we re placed on the ground for them to dance upon. Solo dances use fast, intricate footwork, with limited arm movements. Dancers use hard or soft shoes. Hard shoes have tips and heels, enabling the dancer to make pounding rhythms. Soft shoes are like ballet or Scottish Highland slippers. These dances are performed on the balls of the feet, with airy, graceful, light legwork. Group dances were developed to give less gifted pupils the chance to enjoy dancing.

  • Dubliners As Migrant Writing: a Vision of Ireland from Exile
    Department of English James Joyce’s Dubliners as Migrant Writing: A Vision of Ireland from Exile Pamela Söderkvist Masters Thesis Literature Spring, 2013 Supervisor: Irina Goloubeva Rasmussen Abstract This essay focuses on the concepts of relationship to local culture, identity and third space writing found in migrant literature and explores their relevance to James Joyce’s Dubliners in order to support a migrant reading of the collection. James Joyce has already been read as a migrant writer; however, Dubliners has not been considered as being an important contribution to this mode of writing. In this essay, the postcolonial theories of identity, third space writing and relationship to local culture are used in an in-depth reading of seven of the stories in the collection which I argue are written in the migrant mode of writing. With an introduction given on migrant writing and the concepts used, the platform is thus laid out for a thorough reading of the stories. What these stories depict is that of Ireland’s perpetual state of underdevelopment, due to its colonial past under British rule. In reading the stories in theoretical terms of migrant writing, one uncovers the way they construct Ireland as a colonized space, reiterating Joyce’s version of home and its decaying, cultural potential. What one finds is not only the ironic voice of Joyce’s narrative describing the repetitive outplaying of British stereotypes of Irishness but also of a quieter tone tinged with hope and longing for a true, cultural change. This essay shifts the interpretative focus to specific issues that would otherwise not be visible if one were to read it as merely being modernist.

O’Connor confirms that the design was an evolutionary process. “Enhancing the security features of the passport was at the heart of the preliminary design stages. Our early discussions focused on the possibilities and limits of the range of security techniques to be used.
