Q Listed Building Consent Q Scheduled Monument Consent Q Conservation Areas In Scotland Q Historic Scotland's Archaeology Programme Q Q Roads Archaeology Q World Heritage Sites Q The National Lottery: National Heritage Q - How important are Scottish Building Materials? A - To undertake effective conservation work it is critical that properly trained craftsmen have appropriate traditional building materials at their disposal. Through an integrated approach, Historic Scotland aims to encourage industry, and the education and training providers, to achieve this objective. Historic Scotland has been undertaking research on a range of issues associated with the need to ensure that traditional materials are made available. This research has been carried out against a background of: a decline (or total absence) in the availability of traditional materials such as Scottish slate, stone and lime; a decline in the understanding of the geology of materials used; a lack of availability of craftspeople capable of using traditional materials; a high level of foreign imports; and the adoption of inappropriate modern and synthetic materials.

Rampant Scotland Directory! Archaeology Archaeology in Scotland covers sites which go back to the days before recorded history when the standing stones, stone circles and megalithic burial chambers were being constructed, through the Roman occupation to mediaeval times. There is a separate page for all the Castles of Scotland Archaeology in Scotland This is a review of archaeology in Scotland by the University of Glasgow and contains articles on the significance of Celtic Coinage and excavations and surveys at Strome Castle, Wester Ross and Caulfields Military Way. Council for Scottish Archaeology The Council for Scottish Archaeology is an independent organization which works to improve public awareness of Scotland's rich archaeological heritage and to promote the study, care and appreciation of the historic environment. The site covers education, conservation and fact sheets. Newstead Archeaology Project This project is investigating the region surrounding the Roman Fort of Trimontium near Newstead, on the River Tweed. It produced an outstanding collection of Roman artefacts, from humble wooden tent pegs to highly decorated military parade helmets, all now in the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh. The Scottish section of Roman Military Sites in Britain provides brief details of lots of locations, together with a useful map showing the location of each of them.

46. The Shiant Isles Home Page All about the archaeology, geology, and natural history of the Shiant Isles in North West scotland, in connection with the book 'Sea Room' by Adam Nicolson, the owner of ths Isles. http://www.shiantisles.net/

The Shiants are a small group of islands in the Hebrides, in North West Scotland, four miles or so off the coast of Lewis and 12 from the northern tip of Skye, which lies almost due south of them. They are one of the marvels of the Hebrides and their owner, Adam Nicolson, has recently published a book about them under the title of Sea Room . As he says there, the book is 'an attempt to tell the whole story, as I now understand it, of a tiny place in as many dimensions as possible: geologically, spiritually, botanically, historically, culturally, aesthetically, ornithologically, etymologically, emotionally, politically, socially, archaeologically and personally.' Not everything that has been written or discovered about the islands could be fitted within the covers of the book and so this website works as a kind of annexe, in which anyone who is interested can read further into the background and details of this extraordinary place. Visit professional photographer Charles Tait's website to see more photos of the islands.

Dumfriesshire, Scotland A Partial History of a Scottish Parish The parish of Holywood is located 3 miles north of Dumfries in Dumfriesshire, south-west Scotland. It consists of a small village of some eighty houses, with church, church hall, general shop and primary school, pockets of estates and cottages, and farms covering an area of approximately 9 miles (east-west) by 1-3 miles (north-south). The area has a history of habitation stretching back to Neolithic times, as evidenced by the largest stone circle on the Scottish mainland ('The Twelve Apostles'), and evidence of henges, earthworks, burials and enclosures. Holywood was a well-known religious centre during the Middle Ages owing to its Premonstratensian abbey, of which little trace remains today.

53. The Scottish Parliament Excavation Home page for the archaeological excavation of the new Scottish Parliament Siteat Holyrood, Cannongate, Edinburgh, scotland, by Headland archaeology Ltd and http://www.holyroodarchaeology.org/

Home Background The Main Excavation Queensberry House ... Contact Welcome to the The Holyrood Archaeology Project The project has been set up to investigate the future Scottish Parliament site in Edinburgh. Once part of the medieval burgh of Canongate, this historic site lies at the east end of the Royal Mile, which links Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyrood house, official Scottish residence of the Queen. It is Scottish Office policy to carry out archaeological work before any Government development and, despite the importance of the Scottish Parliament, this site is no exception. The project is managed by Historic Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Office. The project team is a consortium of Edinburgh-based Headland Archaeology Ltd and Perth-based SUAT Ltd. The project began in September 1998 and preliminary investigations confirmed the survival of deep soils of medieval date on part of the site. This project offers an exciting opportunity to study an area that reflects many changes in the fortunes and history of Edinburgh and Scotland. This site has been visited times since 1 January 1999 Click to enlarge

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON Celtic Inscribed Stones Language, Location And Environment Department of History Institute of Archaeology The CISP database is now online Celtic Inscribed Stones Project (CISP) The Project (CISP) is a joint project of the Department of History and the Institute of Archaeology under the direction of Prof. Wendy Davies in collaboration with Prof. James Graham-Campbell. The project was funded by the Humanities Research Board, the Arts and Humanities Research Board and University College London. The project currently has two research fellows : Kris Lockyear and Mark Handley. CISP is undertaking a collaborative, interdisciplinary study of Medieval Celtic inscriptions. One of its main objectives is the compilation of an accessible, comprehensive and authoritative database of all known inscriptions. By bringing this material together in one place and making it readily available our goal is to turn what is a largely untapped resource into usable material. Additionally, field work has been undertaken by Katherine Forsyth (former Research Fellow), Kris Lockyear, Mark Handley, Paul Kershaw (former Research Fellow), James Graham-Campbell and Wendy Davies on the material from Brittany and the Channel Islands which will lead to a published corpus The Material The scope of the project is the Celtic-speaking regions of the early middle ages, (Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, the Isle of Man, and parts of western England, in the period approximately AD 400-1100). Included are all stone monuments inscribed with text, whether in the Celtic vernacular or Latin, in the Roman alphabet or ogham (but excluding runic inscriptions). This material constitutes primary data of unique evidential value to historians, archaeologists, historical geographers, palaeographers, epigraphers, art historians, medieval Latinists and Celtic linguists.

But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
