Historia Szkocji to opowieść o niezłomnych wojownikach, buntach przeciw imperiom i walce o niezależność, która trwa do dziś! W tym odcinku przeniesiemy się na tereny spowite mgłą, gdzie rodziła się tożsamość Szkotów. Przejdziemy przez starożytne czasy Piktów, czasy panowania Rzymian, narodziny Królestwa Alby, epokę wikingów, burzliwe wojny z Anglią, aż po współczesne dążenia do niepodległości. Część I: Kolebka – w krainie mgieł i wojowników Zaczynamy w czasach pierwszych osadników, którzy zamieszkiwali te tereny już tysiące lat temu. Jak wyglądało ich życie w surowym klimacie? • Rzymianie w Szkocji – Gdy potęga Imperium Rzymskiego rozrastała się, napotkała na swojej drodze obrońców z północy Brytanii. Mimo budowy Wału Hadriana i Antonina, Rzymianie nigdy nie podbili całkowicie szkockich ziem. Czym był ten mur i jak wpłynął na rozwój regionu? • Powstanie Królestwa Alby – Jak doszło do utworzenia pierwszego szkockiego państwa? W jaki sposób Kenneth MacAlpin zjednoczył Piktów i Szkotów, tworząc zalążek przyszłej Szkocji? • Era Wikingów – brutalne najazdy Skandynawów, ich osady i wpływ na kulturę oraz politykę regionu. Część II: Unia – krew, pot i miecz Przez wieki Szkoci walczyli o swoją niepodległość, a legendy takich bohaterów jak William Wallace i Robert Bruce do dziś budzą podziw. • Wojna o niepodległość – jak Wallace i Bruce pokonali Anglików? Jakie taktyki stosowali przeciw liczniejszym wojskom króla Edwarda I? • Dynastia Stuartów i Auld Alliance – szkocko-francuski sojusz, który miał powstrzymać Anglię, ale czy rzeczywiście był skuteczny? • Reformacja w Szkocji – dlaczego kraj, który przez wieki był wierny papieżowi, stał się bastionem protestantyzmu? • Unia Koron i Unia 1707 – czy Szkoci dobrowolnie zgodzili się na połączenie z Anglią, czy też zostali do tego zmuszeni? Jakie konsekwencje miał ten akt? Powstania jakobickie i czystki w Highlands Po Unii w 1707 roku nie wszyscy Szkoci pogodzili się z nowym porządkiem. Zwolennicy dynastii Stuartów podjęli próbę odzyskania tronu dla Jakuba II i jego następców. • Pierwsze Powstanie Jakobickie (1715) – dlaczego się nie powiodło? • Drugie Powstanie Jakobickie (1745–1746) – Bonnie Prince Charlie i bitwa pod Culloden – ostateczna klęska, która zmieniła Szkocję na zawsze. • Czystki w Highlands – jak po powstaniach Anglicy brutalnie rozprawili się z góralami, niszcząc ich kulturę i tradycję. Część III: W kilcie ku referendum – nowoczesna Szkocja Szkoci nigdy nie przestali dążyć do niezależności. XX wiek przyniósł zmiany, które odnowiły dyskusję o suwerenności. • Referendum 2014 – dlaczego Szkoci niemal zdecydowali się na odrębne państwo? • Brexit a Szkocja – czy wyjście z UE oznacza nowy impuls dla niepodległości? Część IV: Mitologia, kultura i popkultura Historia Szkocji to nie tylko bitwy i polityka, ale również bogata tradycja folklorystyczna i kulturalna. • Selkie, Kelpie i Potwór z Loch Ness – czy legendy mają ziarnko prawdy? • Kultura klanowa – czym były klany? • Braveheart – fakty i mity – co w filmie było prawdą, a co hollywoodzką fikcją?

In 1688 the Stuart King James II was ousted from the throne by his daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange, in what is called the Glorious Revolution. This momentous change would set in motion decades of unrest across the British Isles, as the supporters of James Stuart; his son the ‘Old Pretender' James, and his flamboyant grandson, ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie', both exiled in France and Italy, sought to restore them to the throne of Britain. In Scotland especially, the hereditary home of the Stuarts, rebellion was constantly brewing amongst the Scottish clans, where demands by the English king for them to bend the knee would result in the bloody massacre of Glencoe…finally, with time passing and the momentum of the Stuart cause fading, the Young Pretender; Bonnie Prince Charlie, took up his family's struggle and sailed to Scotland to reclaim his father's crown….the storm clouds of revolt were brewing. What would be Scotland's fate, and indeed that of Britain?

To mark the 900th anniversary of the Royal Burgh of Stirling, Forth Valley Food and Drink has launched a series of four captivating short documentaries that delve into the lesser-known stories of Stirling's rich food and drink heritage. Rosalind wanted to learn more about this series so spoke to Lesley Wilkinson who researched and commissioned the films and Murray Cook, Stirling Council's archaeologist to learn more. Lesley talks about why the films came about and some of the amazing finds they made in the process of researching the films including about a world-record breaking grape vine. Stirling Castle and Bannockburn House feature in the series as do fascinating stories about how Bonnie Prince Charlie was treated for an injury there using a posset. Funded by Scotland Food and Drink's Regional Food Fund, the films uncover a range of unexpected tales including how the first dram was drunk there by James IV in 1494 and how the first firework was also set off there. Murray also shares stories of beer witches and those being accused of witchcraft and the sad fate they met. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Let me take you on a tour down one of the most famous streets in Edinburgh, the Royal Mile, popping into all the Places that tourists tend not to go, the alleyways or Closes as we call them in Scotland. It gives a fascinating insight into medieval Edinburgh with murder, ghosts, crime and disease emanating from every crevice of the ancient stone walls that remain today. I'll touch upon the reason for Old Edinburgh being so tightly packed together and why it was so easy for disease to spread. Fortunately we still have one of the 16th Century buildings standing on the Royal Mile, Gledstanes land, beautifully restored by the National Trust for Scotland and wedged between two famous closes, James Court and Lady Stair's Close. We will hear from Will Evans, one of the managers at the property. You will hear about the more famous characters of Edinburgh such as Adam Smith, David Hume and Patrick Gedes as well as the infamous characters such as Deacon Brodie. With over 80 Closes to choose from, I will give you a flavour of life in a few of them from both a rich and a poor person's perspective. Old Edinburgh is a place where hundreds of witches were burned to death, only a stone's throw from one of the most prestigious restaurants in the city. We will be heading back, in some cases, to the 16th century, venturing into the darker recesses of Old Edinburgh where, I think, even angels might fear to tread. Come and join me on this journey into Edinburgh city's past and meet some of the characters that lived there in the 16th and 17th centuries.

In The Highlands and Islands of Scotland: A New History (Birlinn, 2024) by Alistair Moffat, the chronicle begins millions of years ago, with the dramatic geological events that formed the awe-inspiring yet beloved landscapes, followed by the arrival of hunter gatherers and the monumental achievements of prehistoric peoples in places like Skara Brae in Orkney. The story continues with the mysterious Picts; the arrival of the Romans as they expanded the boundaries of their huge empire; the coming of Christianity and the Gaelic language from Ireland; the Viking invasion and the establishment of the great Lordship of the Isles that lasted for three hundred years. The Highlands are perhaps best known as the key battleground in Bonnie Prince Charlie's doomed attempt to restore the Stuart monarchy and its dreadful aftermath, which saw the suppression of the clans and the whole of Highland culture. This situation was exacerbated by the terrible Clearances of the nineteenth century which saw tens of thousands evicted from their native lands and forced to emigrate. But, after centuries of decline, the Highlands are being renewed, the land is coming alive once more, and the story ends on an upbeat note as the Highlands look forward to a future full of possibilities. While this is an epic history of a fascinating subject, Moffat also features the stories of individuals, the telling moments and the crucial details which enrich the human story and add context and colour to the saga of Scotland. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This podcast is the third in a four part series where I've already covered the Old and the New Towns and, in this Podcast, I will be taking you on a tour with me to the top of Edinburgh Castle, an incredible fortification that has been subject to 23 sieges in its 1000 year history, the most besieged castle in Europe. I'm also pleased to be joined by Lieutenant Colonel David Jack, the Royal Scots Regimental Secretary who will explain the connection between the Royal Scots infantry regiment and the Castle. In this Podcast you will travel back in time to the first fortification built around 4,000 years ago then right up until the present day. I'll be explaining why a fortification was first built on this extinct volcano and why it has remained a fortress to this day. You will hear how it all began and then, fast forwarding you will hear about the part the Castle played in the Wars of Independence as well as the Jacobite rebellion resulting in the building of the Argyll Battery of guns to defend against these supporters of James VII. And the one o'clock gun – why is it fired every day to shake Edinburgh to its roots, and we will look inside the military prison and who the inmates were. And all that before we arrive at Crown square with the Royal Palace, now housing the Crown Jewels of Scotland or using their correct title, the Honours of Scotland. I'll also be telling you about St Mary's chapel, the oldest building in Edinburgh and how it has survived the ravages of time from Robert the Bruce in the 14th Century up until the modern day. And who is the Grey Lady ghost who enjoys frightening tourists from time to time….. All will be revealed.

Once I knew I would get a chance to visit Scotland on vacation last summer/fall, it was my opportunity to dive into "wars of Scotland" in a general sense. What did I think that was? From Braveheart and Hammer the Scots I knew about the first War of Scottish Independence, at least a bit. I'd heard of the Jacobite Rebellion and The '45. And I figured there was some Roman history somehow, what with Hadrian's Wall up there. Of course, there's much more. Not only did I confirm the Roman-Caledonian history and learn more about Robert the Bruce or Bonnie Prince Charlie, I naturally uncovered a lot more detail in those conflicts...plus many others that fill the centuries between the parts I knew. Not all of them are depicted extensively in wargaming, but often at least a scenario in Ancient Battles Deluxe, as well as informative YouTube animations. In this episode I give some general impressions & observations about some of the game systems I played, notably Men of Iron, Ancients/Ancient Battles Deluxe, Commands & Colors, plus a standalone game about Bannockburn/Stirling/Falkirk. There are movies worth mentioning, and a few more games or scenarios to try. This is all expected to wrap up fairly quickly. Later this week I'm going to GMT's Weekend at the Warehouse, and there I'll get in a game or two to be discussed on the next podcast...along with a general report on the GMT event.   -Mark

This Podcast is the 2nd in a 4 Part series on Edinburgh city. Ghosts, witches and skeletons all revealed while building Edinburgh's New Town would have been the Newspaper Headlines in 1780. And it is strange that the people of Edinburgh still use the name, ‘the New Town' when it was built so long ago! This is a story which follows on from my previous Podcast on the Old Town which had become overcrowded, filthy and disease ridden and something had to give. Effectively, the rich moved out and many would have left Scotland altogether had it not been for the foresight of the City Fathers who acknowledged a need for a new start beyond the city walls of the Old Town. You will hear about the draining of the Norloch, the cesspit where most of Edinburgh's Old Town detritus was deposited and the macabre findings by men who worked on the project. You will tour the Streets of the New Town with me and hear of the prestigious buildings and the prestigious individuals who inhabited those fabulous Georgian dwellings, such as Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. You will also hear from Sheonah Martin, the Manager at the Georgian House, who kindly agreed to be interviewed and to give us an insight into 1780s Edinburgh living and how the young ladies of the day met their husbands to be. And thankyou to the National Trust for Scotland for looking after so much of Scotland's heritage.

Today, the island has a thriving culture scene with plenty of art to take in as well as lots of restaurants, bars, and distilleries to show off the best of Scottish cuisine.  SkyeSkins  SkyeSkins was originally founded by a couple, Clive and Lydia, forty years ago in response to local farmers who would leave their sheep skins to waste.

In August, 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie led a rebellion that brought the Jacobite cause closer to seizing the throne than any other. He had landed with only a handful of his most trusted supporters, but a mixture of gold, charisma and old loyalties soon brought a large number of followers to his side as they attempted to overthrow the British crown. The rebellion grew in momentum with early successes on the battlefield and marched south reaching as far as Derby before turning back north. However, the noose around the Bonny Prince Charlie and the Jacobite rebels was tightening, and in April 1746 they were decisively defeated by superior British forces at the Battle of Culloden.Guiding Dan through the 1745 uprising is Professor Murray Pittock from the University of Glasgow.

The rich history of tartan In this week's episode, to mark the opening of the V&A Dundee's new Tartan exhibition, Jackie meets its co-curator Jonathan Faiers to discuss the fascinating tale of the pattern's past. If you took a random sample of people around the world and asked them to depict Scotland, tartan would likely make an appearance. It connects Bonnie Prince Charlie to punk rockers, and as well as being a symbol of a nation, it has also been used to represent traditions, rebellions and sub-cultures. Jackie and Jonathan delve into the rich history of the pattern, revealing not only the secrets of its origins but also its modern uses and adaptations.
