Abstract:

AbstractExcessive twinning in an extended family of rural Missouri concentrates in the isolated generations of 1874-1930s. Moderate inbreeding, larger sibships to older mothers, and access to local doctors may have combined to enhance this familial twinning. These biosocial factors are similar to an isolated case of excessive twinning in Scotland.

Abstract:

This paper provides an analysis of the New Community Schools (NCS) initiative as developed in Scotland. As our analysis makes clear the evidential base of this development was, at the outset, extremely slender. From that base, however, NCS has migrated to diverse localities within which it has had significant impact while itself being impacted upon by local conditions and contexts. We are particularly interested in the democratic potential of this process of migration: the extent to which, and ways in which, localities can speak back to the centralising sources of power through the mediation o

Abstract:

Anyone who has visited a Scottish Games or Gathering in North America will be struck by the number of Clan societies occupying tents around the Games ground and participating in a “Parade of Tartans”. Yet, a substantial number of these do not represent Highlands or Borders Clans, but are really descendants of Lowland Families. The “Clan” appellation has been applied wrongly to all of Scotland, as though this were the universal or at least the dominant form of social/kinship organization. The cultural appendages of that—kilts, tartans and Gaelic language—are considered uniformly Scottish. In re

Abstract:

Scottish alliterative poetry, which can be regarded as a regional variety and at the same time the final step in the evolution of the alliterative tradition in England and Scotland, was composed in the second half of the 15th century, the period that marked the gradual decline of the tradition. In Scotland the alliterative verse was mainly employed for ironic or satirical purpose. The Buke of Howlat by Richard Holland, the earliest Scottish poem, can provide an example of using alliterative style in allegory and parody. The paper deals with how elements of a foreign language, as well as imitat

Abstract:

Medieval and early modern genealogies are rarely simple records of biological descent, but rather are ideological statements used to establish political and cultural connections, create hierarchy, and order society. Ireland possessed one of the most developed aristocratic genealogical traditions in medieval Europe, which reached its culmination in the middle of the seventeenth century in manuscripts like the Ó Cléirigh Book of Genealogies (Royal Irish Academy MS 23 D 17). To that manuscript a later scribe added a patrilinear genealogy of Felipe/Philip V, first Bourbon king of Spain (1700-24 an

Abstract:

AbstractSt Margaret of Scotland owned a reliquary containing a relic of the True Cross known as crux nigra. Both Turgot, Margaret’s biographer, and Aelred of Rievaulx, who spent some years at the court of Margaret’s son, King David, mention the reliquary without offering sufficient information on its origin. The Black Rood was probably lost or destroyed in the sixteenth century. Some lines written on the margins of a twelfth-century manuscript containing Aelred’s Genealogia regum Anglorum can now shed a new light on this sacred object. The mysterious lines, originally written on the Black Rood

Abstract:

It is quite generally accepted that the missionary monks from the Celtic tradition in Ireland and Scotland played a significant role in the Christianisation of Europe during the Dark Ages.This is a story that should not be forgotten. It is also well known that this was preceded by the thorough evangelisation of Ireland and Scotland (and northeast England) itself by these Celtic monks. What is, however, not getting enough attention is the (much later) outreach to southern Africa coming from those same quarters. In this article an effort is made to give credit to this, and to trace the specific

Abstract:

This dissertation has been submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Glasgow EdD. As someone with a professional background in education, government and parliament, and an academic background in politics and citizenship, I was keen to identify an area of study that might draw upon these areas of interest. The emergence of A Curriculum for Excellence as a major new policy initiative in the mid-2000s appeared to represent an ideal case study scenario for just such a study. I wished to examine the ways in which this policy had been initiated, formulated, developed and imple

Abstract:

Around the world, some 40 million people claim Scottish ancestry. Every year thousands of members of the Scottish diaspora travel to their imagined homeland. They come to Scotland to experience the culture of their ancestors and to walk in the places where their forebears walked. They come to Scotland because, like many diasporic populations around the globe, they imagine that their home is somewhere other than in the place they reside, and they travel in order to connect with their roots. Scotland is, of course, not the only country with a strong tradition of roots tourism. Cultural heritage

Abstract:

Through dynastic accident, England and Scotland were united under King James VI and I in 1603. To smooth the transition, officials attempted to create a single state: Great Britain. Yet the project had a narrow appeal; the majority of the English populace rejected a closer relationship with Scotland. Such a strong reaction against Scotland resulted in a revived sense of Englishness. This essay analyzes English tactics to distance themselves from the Scots through historical treatises. For centuries, the English had created vivid histories to illuminate their ancient past. It is evident from th

Abstract:

This chapter interrogates the methods and motivations of a discipline often dismissed as the driest of dry and antiquarian pursuits: genealogy. It reveals that, far from being intellectually vapid, genealogical scholarship was intimately connected to the development of the Stuart state and the transmission of French textual scholarship to Scotland. It offered a proving ground for the new practices of archival research and could practically demonstrate the value of the new scholarship in a field of study whose application was widely seen to be both immediate and essential in a kin-based society

Abstract:

A passage from Zoë Wicomb’s novel October reveals an affectively complex translocal association that is also a reflection of colonial history. Such affective experiences, crossing place and time, are typical of Wicomb’s writing; in particular, the historical connection between Scotland and South Africa produces moments of recognition and affective dislocation. David’s Story, like several other South African novels of its period, uses genealogy to traverse temporal boundaries. This novel also troubles the issue of representation, using the figure of an amanuensis to question the possibility of

Abstract:

This introduction clarifies the book’s contribution to the study of Scottish Romanticism, Enlightenment and improvement. Improvement, it argues, was sufficiently important as a modality, trope and environmental condition to be viewed plausibly as a defining feature of literary production in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Scotland. The introduction includes a working genealogy of improvement and a survey of the motley field of scholarship on the topic. A section on the national implications of improvement in the Scottish context is next, followed by more detail on the book’s dial

Marjorie’s heritage, however, can be traced directly back to Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland (1274–1329).
