ELintonWalks_rev0806_v1.qxd 8/8/063:58pmPage1 Routes inandaroundEastLinton In 1764, George Buchan succeeded his maternal uncle,George Hepburn,as laird of Smeaton and took the name Buchan- Hepburn.He was created a baronet in 1815.A lawyer by profession,he became a hands-on farmer and noted agricultural reformer.While the 36-roomed mansion he built no longer exists,the parkland trees are a reminder of the fine designed landscape linked to the house.His grandson,Thomas,the third baronet,completed the excavation of the lake in 1830 and planted a magnificent tree collection in an environment offering shelter and humidity.The lake became popular with curlers,but was last used in 1982. Prestonkirk House dominates the entrance to Stories Park.Built in 1865 as the county’s Combination Poorhouse,it served 15 parishes and housed 88 people.It now serves as housing and for the library and Day Centre.Stories Park takes its name from the Storie family of veterinary surgeons,who lived in The Square and kept racehorses in their ‘park’.Francis Storie (d1875) was East Linton’s chief magistrate 1866-72.The Peerie Well,beside the Tyne,supplied the town with water from 1881.If you follow the Tyne up to the Linn Rocks,you come to the original ‘Lintoun’, where the settlement began 1000 years ago. Traprain Law dominates the view to the south. The most significant prehistoric monument in East Lothian,its secrets are still being unearthed. The ancient standing stone along the walk,one of only six in East Lothian,may mark the grave of a local tribal chief.This route was the main road linking Edinburgh and Berwick in mediaeval times,and James VI of Scotland may have passed along here in March 1603 as he travelled south to become James I of England.A new post road (the former A1) was built in 1751.In 1763,there was i one monthly stagecoach between Edinburgh and London,a journey taking 12-16 days.

    Preston Mill Teacher’S Information

    Preston Mill Teacher’s information Preston Mill is one of the oldest water-driven meal mills in Scotland. There has been a mill on this site for centuries. It was last in operation commercially as late as 1957. A century ago there were many mills operating along the River Tyne, serving the farmlands of East Lothian, but most have disappeared. The Preston Mill site comprises two pan-tiled buildings: the conical-roofed kiln for drying the corn and the mill containing the machinery for grinding the corn. The water system is still in place. A large iron water wheel (believed to have been produced by Alex Mathers & Son in 1910) powers the machinery. There is an exhibition on milling, with archive images and recordings, and some working models, within the outhouses. Phantassie Doocot is a 15-minute walk away along a well-marked track. It contains nesting places once used for 500 birds. The walk connects to a food theme – from mill to arable fields to the doocot. You can also opt to follow a footpath around the field and beside the river, for a longer walk. The school visit offers opportunities for cross-curricular work and engaging with the Curriculum for Excellence: • Guided tour of the mill - see the mill working and have the processes explained • Tours can be adapted to suit the requirements of your class. • Ranger led walks are available and can also be adapted to your needs – popular study areas: minibeasts; trees; plants. Please contact the Ranger Office. • Classes can be split in 2 for a themed visit: one group visits the Mill while the other group has a ranger- led walk to the Doocot; they then swap round.

GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold, PhD. The interpretation of prehistoric iconography is complicated by the tendency to project contemporary male/female gender dichotomies into the past. Pictish monumental stone sculpture in Scotland has been studied over the last 100 years. Traditionally, mirror and comb symbols found on some stones produced in Scotland between AD 400 and AD 900 have been interpreted as being associated exclusively with women and/or the female gender. This thesis re-examines this assumption in light of more recent work to offer a new interpretation of Pictish mirror and comb symbols and to suggest a larger context for their possible meaning.
