The abbey of Holyrood was founded in the twelfth century. During the late Middle Ages the monastery’s guest house gradually evolved into a royal residence. In the early 1500s King James IV ordered the creation of a new palace next to the original religious buildings. His son, James V (the father of Mary Queen of Scots), continued the building work, creating an impressive Renaissance residence. In May 1544 the English sacked both the palace and abbey. The Earl of Hertford, who commanded the English forces, boasted that he left Holyrood Abbey ‘wholly burnt and desolate’.

Virtual reconstruction of All Hallows Church (Inchinnan), built in 1900 and demolished in 1965 to allow the extension of the airfield at Abbotsinch. Created for the Inchinnan Historical Interest Group. The digital reconstruction is based on historic photographs and floorplans. Some of them can be found on Canmore: https://canmore.org.uk/site/43063/inchinnan-old-parish-church-and-graveyard Most of the stained windows originally from All Hallows are now at Inchinnan Parish Church. These were used on the virtual reconstruction, as well as a number of historical drawings of the missing windows. You can find more information about the stained glass windows at IHIG’s website: https://myinchinnan.org.uk/stained-glass/ This is a second version of this model, which was updated to add new details based on historical documentation, as well as annotations and clearer images of the stained glass windows. Given that these changes were required, the entirety of the 3D model was also reviewed and improved.

The Museum of Abernethy was opened in May 2000 by Magnus Magnusson. The Museum has held the Visit Scotland four stars award since 2001. The building, which stands within the lands of the old Culdees monastery, dates from the eighteenth century. Originally consisting of a byre, stable and cattle rede, it was renovated during the 1990s to house the Museum. In keeping with the aim of preserving the building's heritage, some of the original features, such as the internal stone walls and an area of cobbled floor, have been left visible. Abernethy itself is a historic settlement having been occupied since Pictish times, and the aim of the Museum is to preserve as much as possible of this varied and extensive history.
Abernethy is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, situated 8 mi south-east of Perth. It has one of Scotland's two surviving Irish-style round towers. The round tower is approx. 22 metres high and has an internal diameter of 2.515 metres. The exterior diameter is 4.648 metres near the base, and 4.267 metres at the top. Today there is a Pictish carved stone at the base of the tower, but this is not the stone’s original location. (The stone was dug out of the foundations of a local house. The tower is thought to date from the eleventh century, but may incorporate the foundations of an earlier structure. The round tower is thought to relate to a Culdee monastery. We are not sure at what date the monastery was founded. [Source: https://canmore.org.uk/site/27914/abernethy-round-tower]
St Giles’ was the most important church in the burgh of Edinburgh (although it was not a cathedral until the 1630s). In 1544 St Giles’ was still a Catholic Church. It was lavishly decorated with statues and stained glass, and housed the altars of the local craft guilds. The feast day of St Giles (on 1st September) was marked by a religious procession along the Royal Mile. In 1558 Protestant Reformers disrupted the religious festivities, throwing a statue of St Giles to the ground, and smashing it upon the paving stones. Two years later Scotland officially rejected Catholicism, and St Giles’ became a Protestant place of worship.
The Grassmarket area is first recorded in the fourteenth century, when it was referred to as ‘the street called Newbygging under the castle’. By the 1470s the area was known as ‘Westirmart’, and seems to have been associated with the sale of timber, hats, and shoes. At the far end of the Grassmarket stood the gateway known as the West Port, which was in existence by at least 1509, and formed the western boundary of the burgh.

A Guide to Visiting Wick Heritage Centre and Museum in the North Scottish Highlands
The Wick Heritage Museum can be found in a rather small, nondescript house near the harbour of the far north-Scotland town of Wick. But don't let its size fool you as this museum is housed in a tardis-like building that's way bigger than you might at first imagine. The museum is dedicated to keeping the history of this quiet fishing town alive through a series of exhibitions that take visitors into the past with photos, Caithness glass displays, life-size fishing boats and restored machinery. As you explore the 20+ rooms that head off in all directions you'll discover an array of fascinating objects and lovingly restored artworks as well as several enthusiastic volunteers, all of which add up to making the Wick Heritage Museum a surprisingly good tourist attraction

The most famous Scottish glen is also one of its most dramatic, with forbidding mountains, thundering waterfalls and sparkling lochs. Internationally famous for its amazing landscape, its natural and cultural heritage; the scenery of Glencoe has been fashioned by millions of years of geological and geomorphologic processes is now regarded as some of the finest ‘wild’ landscape in Scotland. The drama is also reflected in Glencoe’s history, both real and imagined – myths, massacre and movies are all now part of the fabric of this magical, mysterious place. Walkers and climbers are drawn from all over the world to tackle its many mountaineering routes, including eight Munros, while animal-lovers come to catch a glimpse of Scottish wildlife including red deer, golden eagles and pine martens.
Barpa nam Feannag, ominously called ‘Cairn of the Hooded Crows’ in English, is both less accessible and less well known than Barpa Langass. Erskine Beveridge described it as ‘a long irregular mound of loose stones, lying approximately east and west’. He noted that this barp was higher and wider at the east end, suggesting that there may have once been a chamber there with a ‘large flat stone at the exterior base’ and a large rectangular opening presenting a sign of a possible entrance passage. He also recorded that the surface of the ground was excessively ‘pitted by many slight hollows’. The regularity, size and shape of these hollows suggests the original Neolithic structure, although he noted that none of the ‘upright boundary slabs’ so characteristic of such cairns remained.
Dun an Sticir is an example of how in mediaeval times the original Iron Age 'brochs', hollow walled windowless fortifications often built on islands and reached by a tricky causeway, were later adapted for more domestic purposes. The building of brochs for defensive purposes seems to date from 500 BC. Over the previous thousand years cooler climactic changes had encouraged layers of peat to gradually move downhill, overgrazing had taken its toll, and land for cultivation had become scarcer, forcing people to migrate to the lower ground. Duns comprised a single outer rounded wall, forming a tall tower often rising to 40 feet, mirrored internally by a second curving wall enclosing an inner chamber. This was a relatively straightforward fortification to build in order to protect your land. Erskine Beveridge also found evidence at Dun an Sticir of a gallery six feet above ground level. Remains of two huts where livestock could have been protected could also be seen. The rectangular stone structure built within the walls using the stone available, with its door and window, dates from the mediaeval period. A second island, Eilean na Mi-Chomhairle (the Island of Bad Council), is linked to Dun an Sticir (the Dun of the Skulker) by a causeway. Both Gaelic names suggest a darker and less peaceful era.
Barpa Langass is the largest and best preserved of the Neolithic chambered burial cairns on North Uist. According to Erskine Beveridge its massive size suggests that it was the burial place of some great chief and was intended as both a tomb and a monument. Its prominent outline and siting, midway up Ben Langass, is remarkable for the labour which must have been involved in carrying and placing so many large stones over a great distance in order to form its pyramid shape. Beveridge found remnants of burnt burials and fragments of Bronze Age urn pottery within the first chamber and he suggested that two further chambers may well lie beyond the entrance to the east. It is now too dangerous to enter because of the collapsed stonework. Pobull Fhinn is the most conspicuous Megalithic stone circle on North Uist and lies on a plateau overlooking the sea an easy walk away from Barpa Langass. It is interesting to speculate on the type of social relationships that might have existed between the two sites. The stones of Pobull Fhinn are shaped in an oval rather than a circle, their east-west axis being slightly longer than that to the north-south. The purposes of such circles are still open to considerable debate - were they placed to plot the celestial movements of the sun, the seasonal cycles or those of the dark, the moon and the stars? What community celebrations or rituals might these huge stones have been hewn and dragged so high up to denote? Certainly they represent considerable effort and confidence on the part of the early Neolithic farming communities who erected them.
Iain Crawford, a passionate archaeologist and ethnographer who was influenced by the writings of Erskine Beveridge, decided to concentrate his searches in the 1960s on sites that might have been continuously inhabited over a very long period and yet remained visible. He wanted to get a clearer picture of daily life and work from the Mesolithic, through to the Bronze and Iron Ages, onwards as close to the present day as possible. The two main sandhills at Udal, North and South, gradually provided him with settlement remains which represent the rarity and importance of this site. The Udal South Mound revealed evidence of two stone built round houses or 'wheelhouses', now extremely vulnerable to the elements. Pottery shards, stone tools and some bronze and metal items, held by Glasgow University, show evidence of habitation from the Late Bronze Age through to the Late Iron Age. The Udal North Mound takes the period of settlement up to Viking and Mediaeval times and the finds include jewellery and a Norse gold coin of Harald Hardrada. There is evidence of continuous settlement through to the 19th century and much more exciting excavation remains to be researched by the Udal project on this site of major historical significance.
Caravat Barp is another example of a ‘Long Cairn’, 165’ overall, with some evidence remaining of a wide ‘horned’ entrance at the East end. Erskine Beveridge noted that it was ‘greatly dilapidated’ at this end, since it had been used as a quarry by local residents for the building of the several shielings and enclosures. Originally this must have been a significant landmark, since the narrower west end in Beveridge’s time stood ‘to a height of 10 feet’.
Unival is a small, roughly-built square passage grave that lies on an elevated plateau on the hill of the same name. As Erskine Beveridge noted, it carries the Gaelic name ‘Leacach an Tigh Chloiche’ or ‘place of slabs of the stone house’. Excavated by Sir Lindsay Scott during the 1930s, it was found to house a small slab-built cist about 2ft high which contained the skeleton of a young woman, together with the rib-bones of a younger person who may have been buried earlier. Ian Armit noted that it appeared that burning charcoal had been tipped onto the skeleton a long time after its burial, suggesting visits to the tomb for ritual purposes other than burial. Amongst the numerous finds of local pottery discovered by Scott, the rarest was an almost complete Grooved Ware bowl and fragments of a beaker. These were common to later Neolithic finds across the mainland, suggesting the tomb continued to be used for burials well into the Bronze Age.
Isleornsay is a village lying off the main Armadale to Sleat road on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It overlooks, but is not upon, the island of Ornsay. The island itself shelters one of the best natural harbours in southern Skye.
Armadale (Scottish Gaelic: Armadal) is a village near the southern end of the Sleat Peninsula, on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, and is a village in the Highland council area of Scotland.
