[email protected] Tour Highlights LANDSCAPE OF SCOTLAND Scotland packs spectacular landscapes, as well as rich history and tradition, into a small country. From the rich countryside and great rivers of the Lowlands to the dramatic glens and mountains of the Highlands, from deep lowering lochs to islands washed by the Gulf Stream, from great cities to abandoned crofts, Scotland is a land of remarkable contrasts at every turn. GARDENS AT THEIR SUMMER BEST July is the perfect month to visit Scottish gardens as they are glorious in their summer best. Scotland, warmed by the Gulf Stream, is home to some of the finest gardens in Britain: Drummond Castle with its Renaissance parterres, Inverewe with its superb plantsmanship, and Broadwoodside, a garden of delight and whimsy. We can expect to see the gardens at their absolute peak! GREAT CASTLES OF SCOTLAND Whether in ruins or pristine condition, castles dating from the medieval period to Victorian times are among Scotland’s glories. Like France, Scotland has a habit of calling a large country house a castle. As a result, there are many castles throughout Scotland, some large (Floors Castle), some small (Eilean Donan Castle), some ancient in parts (Cawdor Castle), and some Royal (Balmoral). OVER THE SEA TO SKYE Skye is an island of mystery and legend known for its rugged landscapes, picturesque fishing villages and medieval castles. The largest island in the Inner Hebrides archipelago, it has a coastline of peninsulas and narrow lochs radiating out from a mountainous centre dominated by the Cuillins, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Scotland. EDINBURGH Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is justly seen as one of the most beautiful and cultured cities in Europe. It has been shaped neither by the heavy industry of Glasgow nor the oil wealth of Aberdeen, but by its long-held position as a centre of business, the arts, learning and entertainment. Detailed itinerary Included meals are shown with the symbols B, L and D. Monday July 2 Arrival If you have booked your air travel through Academy Travel we will organise a transfer from Edinburgh airport to our hotel. Please note that hotel rooms may not be available until early afternoon. In the early evening we gather in the hotel for welcome drinks and dinner. Overnight Edinburgh (D) Tuesday July 3 Edinburgh and the Royal Botanic Garden Today we begin to explore Scotland’s historic capital. Following a talk, we take a guided tour of the Royal Botanic Garden. Relocated in the 1820s at the time of the creation of the city’s New Town, ‘The Botanics’ was originally founded in 1670 as a physic garden. As such, it is, after Oxford, the second oldest botanic garden in Britain. Its Palm House, built in 1858, is the Above: Edinburgh Castle perched on Castle Rock, towering over the city tallest in Britain. The afternoon is free to relax and explore the sites and shops of Edinburgh. In the evening, we gather at a local restaurant for dinner. Overnight Edinburgh (B, D) Below: Scotland’s largest inhabited castle, Floors Castle; and Abbotsford, the ancestral home of novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott Wednesday July 4 Floors Castle and Abbotsford Today we head south into the rich countryside of the Scottish Borders and to the banks of the beautiful River Tweed. First stop is Floors Castle, the largest inhabited ‘castle’ in Scotland and home since the 1720s to the Dukes of Roxburgh. After a tour of the Castle, we walk through the grounds to the large and colourful Victorian walled garden – part potager, part herbaceous borders – beautifully complimented by the new Millennium Garden with its intricate parterre and architectural fruit trees. In the afternoon we travel to Abbotsford, the iconic Scottish Baronial-style house created by Sir Walter Scott in the 1820s. Together with his near contemporary Robert Burns, Scott is the most famous of all Scottish writers, and Abbotsford, still furnished exactly as he left it, is a testament to his creation of our romantic notion of Scottish identity. We take a guided tour of the house, before exploring the formal garden designed by Scott as a series of three interlocking ‘rooms’. Overnight Edinburgh (B) Thursday July 5 Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh This morning we continue our exploration of Edinburgh, beginning with a walking tour of the Royal Mile before arriving at Holyrood Palace, the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland. Rebuilt following the restoration of Charles II in 1660, the Palace incorporates a 16th century tower associated with Mary Queen of Scots. We will discover the fascinating history of the gardens from the 14th century to the present day including the site of the ancient menagerie, the rare Wentworth elm trees, the 17th century sundial and the Jubilee Border. We will also see how the grounds are used today for the Queen’s annual Garden Party. Following refreshments in the café, we will be free to explore the Historic and State Apartments at leisure with an audio tour. The afternoon will be free to further explore the sites of Edinburgh; the Castle and the many museums and galleries for example. Overnight Edinburgh (B) Friday July 6 Broadwoodside and Little Sparta An exciting day of contemporary, and very idiosyncratic, private gardens awaits us. First port of call, an hour east of Edinburgh, is Broadwoodside. This elegant garden has been created, from scratch in 2000, in and around a once derelict 17th century farmhouse by its owners Robert and Anna Dalrymple, who will welcome us. Broadwoodside is an eye-catching, heady mix of classic herbaceous and landscape planting intermixed with the most whimsical of contemporary and classical art. After lunch at a local pub, we drive to the intriguingly named Little Sparta. This Arcadian landscape garden in the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh was created by the artist and poet Ian Hamilton Finlay between 1966 and his death in 2006. Spread throughout the 5-acre garden are over 275 artworks: concrete poetry in sculptural form, polemic, and philosophical aphorisms, together with sculptures and two temples. Overnight Edinburgh (B, L) Saturday July 7 Drummond Castle Today we bid farewell to Edinburgh and head to Drummond Castle, home to one of the finest formal gardens in Europe.

(It takes nothing away from his valour that in the final battle King and self are one.) But in between the first battle and the last Macbeth betrays and destroys King, country, and whatever is good in his own nature.

  • Records of Argyll Part Iv Conclusion
    RECORDS OF ARGYLL PART IV CONCLUSION By Ken McNaughton The historic origins of the Macnachtan Clan lie in Perthshire but between the 13th and 18th centuries the leadership resided in Argyll. The reasons for this discrepancy are not known. It could be that when he gave them the castle at Fraoch Eilean in 1267 [1] King Alexander III needed defensive allies in Argyll and wanted to reward the Macnachtans. Duncan McNaughton [2] suggests the leadership may have been transferred to Argyll to weaken the Clan, since there they may have been under closer royal supervision or dominated by more powerful, loyal clans. The last Macnachtan Chief left the family stronghold at Dunderave between 1710 and 1713 [3] and the Campbells consolidated their hold on Argyll. Because of their wealth and power the Campbells had time to collect stories about their clan and those of their neighbors. Perhaps the best known (and oft quoted) such book is Records of Argyll [4] which was published in 1885. One would hope that this would include some valuable information about our Clan. But keep in mind that the author is a Campbell whose modus operandi was to collect stories and that in 1881 there were twice as many people with the name MacNaughton in Perthshire as there were in Argyll [5]. The first story about the MacNaughtons in the book [6] is called “The MacNaughtons of Dunderave” [7]. While it includes some interesting stories it is not a reliable historical document. The other main entry about the MacNaughtons is contained in an Appendix [8].

" Lovest thou mountains great, Peaks to the clouds that soar, Corrie and fell where eagles dwell, And cataracts dash evermore? Lovest thou green grassy glades.

The Callander Family of Ardkinglas and Craigforth, The Campbell Family of Southall, The Campbell Family of Craignish, 17th – 19th c, The Campbell Family of Barbreck, The Campbell Family of Glendaruel. The Church of Scotland (Synod of Argyll). Administrative history The Campbell family, Dukes of Argyll, played a historically important role in Scottish, British and international affairs from the fourteenth to early twentieth centuries. From the fourteenth century onwards their clan chiefs were closely allied to the Scottish crown and parliament, holding many important official roles and responsibilities which were sustained and expanded after Union. These include Master of the Royal Household in Scotland, Keeper of the Privy Seal, Lord Justice General, Lord Lieutenant of Argyll, Admiral of Western Coasts and Isles, and in the nineteenth century, the Colonial roles of British Governor General in India and Canada. From the early fourteenth century the family seat was Innischonnell on Loch Awe and their principal landholdings lay close by on Lochawside. Around 1400, Sir Colin Campbell moved to Inveraray on Loch Fyne which lay closer to newly acquired lands in Cowal and gave direct access to important coastal travel and trade routes.

  • The 5Th Earl of Argyll and Mary, Queen of Scots
    THE FIFTH EARL OF ARGYLL AND MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS When Mary, Queen of Scots' name is linked to that of a man most people think immediately of high romance and passion, or even murder and rape, with a large dollop of tragedy thrown in. Three husbands had come and gone by the time Mary was twenty-five and during her long dreary single years in an English prison there was still continuous intrigue and speculation about a fourth. But the tragedy and Victorian-style melodrama of her marriages to Francis II, who died as a teenager in 1560, Darnley, who was murdered in 1567, and Bothwell, who fled Scotland in 1568, went mad in a Danish prison and died in 1578, have overshadowed the less-highly charged relationships she had with the Scottish nobles of her court. One of the most important of these was the affectionate friendship with her brother- in-law, the fifth earl of Argyll. Archibald Campbell, the 5th earl was not much older than Mary herself. He was probably born in 1538 so would have been only four years old in the dramatic year of 1542. It witnessed the birth of Mary on 8 December and, within a week, the death of her father, James V [1513-42], which made her ruler of Scotland. A regency was established with Mary as titular queen, but the main struggle for power was between those Scots who favoured the alliance with France and those who wanted friendship with England. The key issue was whether the young Queen would marry a French or an English prince.

  • Watsonia 17 (1989), 463-486
    Watsonia, 17, 463-486 (1989) 463 Plant Records Records for publication must be submitted to the appropriate Vice-county Recorder (see Vice-county Recorders (1988)), and not the Editors. The records must normally be of species, hybrids or subspecies of native or naturalized alien plants belonging to one or more of the following categories: 1st or 2nd v.c. record; 1st post-1930 v.c. record; only extant v.c.locality, or 2nd such locality; a record of an extension of range by more than 100 km. Such records will also be accepted for the major islands in V.cc. 102-104 and 110. Only 1st records can be accepted for Rubus, Hieracium and hybrids. Records for subdivisions of vice-counties will not be treated separately; they must therefore be records for the vice-county as a whole. Records of Taraxacum are now being dealt with separately, by Dr A. J. Richards, and will be published at a later date. Records are arranged in the order given in the List of British vascular plants by J. E. Dandy (1958) and his subsequent revision (Watsonia, 7: 157-178 (1969)). All records are field records unless otherwise stated. With the exception of collectors' initials, herbarium abbreviations are those used in British and Irish herbaria by D. H. Kent & D. E . Alien (1984). Records from the following vice-counties are included in the text below: 2,4-7,11-14,17,25-27,33-35,38- 51,59-62,64,65,67-73,75,77-81,83,88,93,96,98,99, 101, 103, 104, 111, H5, H8, H21, H33, H39.
