This category contains articles with a focus on historical events, people and places in Scotland. William Wallace William Wallace is a truly inspirational figure in the history of Scotland, now known globally thanks to the movie "Braveheart" starring Mel Gibson. But who was the real William Wallace and how did he gain his position as Guardian of Scotland? This multi-page article, written for Scottishweb by Stewart Mackay, attempts to pull the truth from the fiction, what happened to him and how William Wallace fought his way into the hearts of the people of Scotland to become an almost immortal legend. Robert The Bruce Robert the Bruce led his Scottish army to victory at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Scottishweb looks at the story behind his struggle to gain the throne of Scotland.

The new Scottish legislature was in part the result of British prime minister Tony Blair's campaign promise to permit devolution, the transfer of local powers from London to Edinburgh. In a Sept. 1997 referendum, 74% of Scotland voted in favor of their own parliament, which controls most domestic affairs, including health, education, and transportation, and has powers to legislate and raise taxes. Queen Elizabeth opened the new parliament on July 2, 1999. The first inhabitants of Scotland were the Picts, a Celtic tribe. Between

    Extractions: The events that led up to the 1745 disaster at Culloden had been triggered in 1688. The inevitable invasion against the rule of James took place, led by Charles's illegitimate (and Protestant) son, James, Duke of Monmouth. He proclaimed himself king at Taunton, but was defeated in the crucial battle of Sedgemoor. His chief Scottish supporter, Archibald Campbell, Earl of Argyll, was executed for his part in the rebellion. King James, however, continued to make himself unpopular; in particular, his support for Catholic initiatives challenged existing privileges and property rights; it especially challenged that strong coalition that had built up between the Crown and the Anglican establishment. Charles II had done his best to keep this alliance alive; it had ensured that his last years were peaceful ones. James, on the other hand, was too anxious to incite change and he did not take into account the anti-Catholic sentiments of much of the British nation. Constant wars with continental powers, (i.e. Catholic) had built a strong, nationalistic British (and Protestant) state. James's plans for equal civil and religious rights for Catholics were out of the question; his efforts to win widespread support for his policies were totally unsuccessful.

The word presbyter means elder, and Presbyterianism means government of the Church by elders, These are divided into two classes, those who rule over the spiritual affairs of the congregation, and those who teach and rule. The latter the ministers, the former the elders, and together they form the Kirk Session, A separate body in a congregation, variously known as a Committee of Management, a Deacons Court, or a Congregational Board, is concerned with property, income and expenditure. Presbyterianism has always asserted pointedly the duty of every member of Church to care personally for the Church and to further it in all its activities by his personal support and interest. Every member has the right to take part in the election of the minister and in the management of the affairs of the congregation. Every member is expected contribute according to his resources. The Church in Scotland The Reformed Church in Scotland came into being in 1560. It was established in 1567. The essence of Establishment is a contractual relation with the state involving certain undertakings and securing certain exclusive privileges and preferences. This contract is expressed and embodied in a series of statutes from 1567 onwards (That in 1587 declares 'There is no other face of Kirk, nor other face of religion, than is presently by the favour of God established within this realm,') concluding with the act of 1921 which embodies nine articles setting forth the constitution of the

The existence of the Free Church as a separate ecclesiastical body dates from 1843, when a large number of members, both lay and clerical , of the Established Church of Scotland , severed their connection with that body as a protest against the encroachment of the civil power on the independence of the Church , especially in the matters of presentation to vacant benefices According to the Free-Church view, the Church of Scotland , from the date of its inception in 1560, upon the overthrow of the old religion had possessed the inherent right of exercising her spiritual jurisdiction through her elected assembly, absolutely free of any interference by the civil power . Such an independence had been asserted by her first leaders, Knox and Melville, and especially laid down and claimed in both the first and second books of

They brought the Neolithic Age with them, introducing stockbreeding, trade, agriculture, an organised society and a thriving culture. The remains of passage tombs, stone monuments and domestic architecture, like those found on the Orkneys, reveal that this was indeed a vigorous civilisation.
