Archaeology and History Project 2021
Archaeology & History Project Introduction: Border castles and tower houses exert quite a powerful hold on the imagination. They are symbols of our turbulent Scottish past when the Borders in particular was akin to a militarised zone pre the Union of the Crowns. The A&H group has chosen 6 examples of fortified buildings ranging from royal Roxburgh castle, which has been almost obliterated to Hermitage, still austere and unforgiving in its appearance to exemplify this. Smailholm tower is, of course, still extant and a brilliant example of a tower house with later strong Walter Scott connections. The contributors were: Liz Johnson, Raymond Johnson, Chris Atkinson, Rosamund Johnson, Margaret Hunter Brian Tait and Kathleen Marshall The Borders castles and tower houses in historical context The facts of Scotland’s geography have dictated the main themes of her history. In particular it is a country divided within itself into Highland and Lowland regions and the fact that it is a small country sharing an island with a much bigger and richer neighbour. The first rulers of most of Scotland were Celtic kings of the house of McAlpin but when Malcolm 111 married the Anglo- Saxon princess Margaret in 1070, Scotland began to conform to mainstream European nation state developments. Unlike in Wales which was conquered and subdued by the Normans, Scotland was never conquered but assimilated Norman development including feudalism under William 1 onwards. The great Border abbeys were all built in the 12th and 13th centuries. The border between Scotland and England was fixed in theory after the battle of Carham in 1092 and existed from then on as it was then to the present time. -

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.
