  • The History and Poetry of the Scottish Borders
    THE HISTORY AND POETRY OF THE SCOTTISH BORDER THEIR MAIN FEATURES AND RELATIONS. By JOHN VEITCH, LLXL PROFESSOR OF LOGIC AND RHETORIC IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW. GLASGOW: JAMES MACLEHOSE, ST. VINCENT STREET, ftiblisber to the ®nibexert$. 1878. All rights reserved. PREFACE. In this volume I do not propose to write a complete history of the Scottish Border, or even to give the series of its picturesque episodes. I have sought mainly to trace the outlines of Border History, to give in the order of develop- ment its salient characteristics, and to show how these, in connection with the scenery of the district, have issued in its rich and stirring ballad and song. Many an evening of poring over old documents this volume has cost me ; and many a day, under lowering as well as sunny skies, have I spent in seeing for myself the scenes of the historical and traditional incidents. There is thus hardly one name of a place in this volume which is not to me a vivid impression. I cannot expect the majority of readers, or even many of them, to share the intensity of feeling which the associa- vi PREFACE. tions connected with those names create in my mind ; but there is, I trust, enough of historical delineation, and enough of the poetry peculiar to the Border Land, to enable the reader to follow, with some interest, its life of the past, and to feel the spirit of its song. — CONTENTS. I. THE BORDER COUNTRY. The Scenery—Ancient Remains—Names of Places and Natural Features- Anglo-Saxon—Scandinavian—Names of Dwelling-places—Names of Streams—Breaks in Banks and Hills—Plains—Hills—Woods—Valleys — Vernacular Words — Proportion of Scandinavian Names — Celtic Names—Gaelic and Cymric— Chiefly Cornish—Cymric Character and Poetry, ......

Devised by Tom Stephenson in the 1930s, it follows the line of the Pennines from the Peak District to the Tyne, along Hadrian’s Wall and then north over the Cheviots to reach the Scottish border at Kirk moorland with only the odd reservoir for entertainment, Yetholm. It was Britain’s first national trail. Most people but even this sort of walking has its own charm. The walk from Edale going north, leaving any wind and rain Pennine Way is also not nearly as bad as it used to be, with behind their backs.

  • Rambles in Northumberland and on the Scottish Border
    RAMBLES IN NORTHUMBERLAND AND ON THE SCOTTISH BORDER WILLIAM ANDREW CHATTO CHAPTER I. Of Foreign travel, its advantages and its disadvantages, much may be said on both sides ; but of Home travel, " of journeying through the land to which a man owes his birth, education, and means of living, " the pleasures and advantages are at once so obvious and direct, that to enter into a long dissertation to prove them, would be like a logical argument to demonstrate that health is a blessing, and a contented mind a possession above all price. To a man who feels them, no argument can make the impression deeper or more vivid ; and to him who does not, no process of reasoning can convey that full and perfect conviction which is the result of feeling. Lord Eldon, in 1771, then John Scott, of University College, Oxford, wrote an Essay, " On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Foreign travel" which was ho- noured with a prize ; and judging from his Loidship's own practice " for he has never been out of Britain " we may conclude that in his mind the disadrantages were preponderant. It is perfectly useless to recommend travellings either at home or abroad, to a person in whom ill-temper and discontent are chronic diseases of the mind. Such unhappy persons ought to keep themselves dose at home since to extend their circuit would be only to increase their liability to anaoyance. At some second rate inn they might not have silver forks ; a lefl-legged fellow of a waiter might be officiously annoying ; fOling a glass of ale unasked, bringing in a wet newspaper, carrying luggage to a wrong room, or daring to suggest places in the neighbourhood worth seeing without his counsel being required, for all which high offences the peevish tourist, professedly a man of liberal sentiments and an abolitionist, would, if he had his own way, send the offender for a month to the tread-mill.

But he who looks among their common rooms for the D‘Arcys, Fieldings, and Hechts will search in vain. Chapter 1 Black Candles. The greatness of Carne School has been ascribed by common consent to Edward VI, whose educational zeal is ascribed by history to the Duke of Somerset. But Carne prefers the respectability of the monarch to the questionable politics of his adviser, drawing strength from the conviction that Great Schools, like Tudor Kings, were ordained in Heaven. And indeed its greatness is little short of miraculous. Founded by obscure monks, endowed by a sickly boy king, and dragged from oblivion by a Victorian bully, Carne had straightened its collar, scrubbed its rustic hands and face and presented itself shining to the courts of the twentieth century.

After nineteen years serving on the FRA Committee, which has involved the production of fifteen FRA Calendars and eighteen issues of the magazine, I have decided with great regret to resign from the FRA Committee following last night's (Thursday 5th October) meeting. I have enjoyed immensely being Editor of the "Fellrunner" and had hoped to continue for a number of years to come but although a large portion of the magazine is composed of material of general interest to the fellrunning community it is, nevertheless, the official information outlet for the FRA and I cannot bring myself any longer to be associated with the policies the FRA now appears to be following with regard to the future of the sport and UK Athletics' role in it.

    Snow & Mountain Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} High Drama The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of American Competition Climbing John Burgman, Kynan Waggoner Summary One afternoon in 1987, two renegade climbers in Berkeley, California, hatched an ambitious plan: under the cover of darkness, they would rappel down from a carefully scouted highway on-ramp, gluing artificial handholds onto the load-bearing concrete pillars underneath. Equipped with ingenuity, strong adhesive, and an urban guerilla attitude, Jim Thornburg and Scott Frye created a serviceable climbing wall. But what they were part of was a greater development: the expansion and reimagining of a sport now slated for a highly anticipated Olympic debut in 2020. Triumph Books High Drama explores rock climbing's transformation from a pursuit of select anti-establishment vagabonds to 9781629377759 a sport embraced by competitors of all ages, social classes, and backgrounds.
