Syllabus Daily Life in Medieval and Victorian Scotland CCSA Scotland Summer 2017 - June 23 to July 8, 2017 Syllabus Daily Life in Medieval and Victorian Scotland CCSA Scotland Summer 2017 - June 23 to July 8, 2017 Professor’s Name: Cynthia Williams Resor, Ph.D. Mailing Address: Eastern Kentucky University Combs 215 Richmond, KY 40444 Email: [email protected] E-mail is the preferred type of communication. If you prefer phone, e-mail me and we’ll make a phone appointment. Phone: (859) 622-2165 Message from professor: Welcome to my study abroad course! I’m professor at Eastern Kentucky University and I currently teach social studies education and teacher education courses. My Ph.D. is in medieval history and I’ve taught medieval history at Eastern Kentucky University and University of Kentucky. Before earning my Ph.D., I was a high school social studies teacher. I love history and I love travel so I’m really excited about this course! My particular interest in medieval history is crusades and my dissertation was an examination the motivation of crusaders to take the vow and go to the Holy Land. I focused on the first three crusades and 12th century King Richard I (the Lion-hearted). The King Arthur myths were “created” during this period and are related to crusading. I also love to study the history of everyday people and everyday life. I’ve traveled in Europe several times. My first trip to Europe was through a study abroad course while I was in college and I was hooked. The following summer, I worked in a fish and chips shop in Woolacombe, Devon, England. My latest trips have been leading study abroad courses for CCSA. Wear your walking shoes, bring your camera and adopt “I want to see everything!” attitude and we’ll have a medieval adventure. Catalog Description: Imagine living in medieval and Victorian Scotland! We will compare daily life in pre- industrial medieval Scotland to life in the 19th century industrial era. We will go back in time to visit medieval sites in Edinburgh's "Old Town," such as St Giles Cathedral and Edinburgh Castle, as well as other medieval sites in the Scottish Highlands (more castles!) and evaluate the myths portrayed in modern movies like Brave and Braveheart. Then we will travel to 19th century Glasgow, the center of the Industrial Revolution in Scotland, and see the historical sites where Scottish Victorians lived, worked, and died. We will assess why the Victorians sought to revive the medieval era in literature and architecture. This course can be taken as an upper division OR graduate level history course. 1 Who should take this course: Any undergraduate or graduate student. Pre-requisite courses are NOT required.

  • 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate's Close Proximity to The
    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

  • Vision 2019 Updating You on the Greyfriars Community
    Vision 2019 Updating you on the Greyfriars Community Welcome/Fáilte! It has been two years since the Greyfriars Review was first published. Much has been happening in the Greyfriars community and therefore there is a lot to report! ‘Vision 2019’ aims to give you an update on what we have been doing and to outline future plans. Worship, the arts and community outreach are centered at our three locations – Greyfriars Kirk (GK), the Grassmarket Community Project (GCP) and the Greyfriars Charteris Centre (GCC). They are managed independently, but key members are common to all three organisations so the Greyfriars ethos and ideals are maintained. With enlarged teams, we are taking on more work and responsibilities within the parish and wider community. As with any organisation we are very dependent on our dedicated members, congregation, volunteers and staff to make things happen and are therefore very grateful to them all. We welcome new faces to be part of our community and if you would like to get involved, we will find a place for you.

  • Greyfriars Bobby Differentiated Reading
    Greyfriars Bobby John Gray, known as Jock, lived in Edinburgh around 1850. He was a nightwatchman with the Edinburgh City Police. Jock had a little Skye Terrier to keep him company as he went on his rounds through the streets at night. He called his watchdog Bobby. Jock became ill and died on the 15th February, 1858. He was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh. People living near the Kirkyard saw that Bobby refused to leave his master’s grave. The keeper of Greyfriars tried on many occasions to send Bobby away. In the end, he gave up and, it is said, he made a shelter for Bobby at the side of Jock’s grave. The story of the faithful dog spread throughout Edinburgh. It is reported that every day, people would gather at the Kirkyard waiting for Bobby to leave the grave and go to the same inn that he had gone to with his master, where he was given something to eat. In 1867, a new law was passed that said all dogs should be licensed in the city or they would be destroyed. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh decided to pay for Bobby’s licence and presented him with a collar. The collar can be seen today at the Museum of Edinburgh alongside Bobby’s feeding bowl. The people of Edinburgh took good care of Bobby, but still he remained loyal to his master. For fourteen years, this faithful dog kept watch and guard over his master’s grave until he himself died in 1872. Bobby was buried close to his master in Greyfriars Kirkyard and his headstone reads Greyfriars Bobby - died 14th January 1872 - aged 16 years - Let his loyalty and devotion be a lesson to us all.

At the end of 1982 negotiations were still not concluded between the Council and the contractors McTaggart and Mickel regarding the purchase of the High Green land between Belford Road and the river. No plans could be found regarding the ownership of the path across this land, called locally “The Stinking Brae”. The Council lodged a compulsory purchase order in order to gain ownership. Residents were concerned that this right of way might disappear under the new flats. One year later these problems were resolved but there was a possibility that the development might not happen. A detailed survey of the land was conducted by the developers who were satisfied that the plans could go ahead. The sale of the land was completed. In 1985 the architects T. M. Gray and Associates started work on the design of the flats. The plans would be open for inspection to all residents. Inner Damside. In 1984 Smart’s started work on their plans, originally approved in 1980, to build fifteen flats, twenty-seven maisonettes and sixteen houses in the area that once housed the Legget’s skinnery. The plan stipulated that a public footpath be created along the bank of the river. The developers hoped to have the first 1 residences for sale in the summer of 1985. Burnside’s shop had become vacant following the death of the owner and had not been included in the plans for the rest of the area.
