StephenWhite is a retired Senior Lecturer from Cardiff Law School.

SummaryChanges in funeral practice provide a lens through which to inspect changes in wider social identity,values and religious beliefs. This book reveals how, in Scotland, as in other societies, death waysand funeral arrangements are closely related to other aspects of life, from religious beliefs topolitical convictions, from family relationships to class structure, from poverty to prosperity. The bookadopts an interdisciplinary approach, analysing particularly the part played by Scottish law andarchitecture. Until recently, Scotland’s 28 crematoria have been the ‘invisible buildings’ of thetwentieth century, absent from architectural histories. The book analyzes the challenge this newbuilding type provided for architects: a building with no architectural precedent, at once secular andreligious, functional and symbolic.

The Changing Faces of Religion in XVIIIth Century ScotlandEdited by Raquel Lázaro and Julio Seoane.Julio Seoane, Raquel Lázaro Cantero (Hg.)

SummarySecularization is often associated with the Enlightenment. However, not all Enlightenment thinkersdefended it. This book aims to cast light on the problems and solutions that the thinkers of theScottish Enlightenment uncovered when studying the place of religion in society. In fact, Hutcheson,Reid, Hume, Smith, Ferguson and Millar saw the situation of religion in society from differentperspectives and often reached very different conclusions. This complex understanding of religion iswhat led us to compile this book, which focuses on three questions: What is the role of religion insociety? How does the existence of God and natural religion affect the social order? How shouldcertain religious beliefs be understood in a secular context, and what are their social and moralrepercussions? These three key issues are closely connected to the Scottish thinkers’ chief commonconcerns: defending natural human sociability from contractualist theories and determining whetherreligion hinders or strengthens the political and moral order of society.

This book exposessome of the crimes, remembered and forgotten, that rocked the Scotland of our ancestors.

The Makers of ScotlandPicts, Romans, Gaels and VikingsTim Clarkson

Contributor BioTim Clarkson is a former academic librarian and the author of The Men of the North and The Picts.

SummaryCovering a thousand years of Scottish history, this account incorporates both historical andcontemporary research into old theories and controversies. During the first millennium AD, the mostnortherly part of Britain evolved into the country known today as Scotland. The transition was a longprocess of social and political change driven by the ambitions of powerful warlords; tribal chiefs andRoman generals, at first, followed by dynamic warrior-kings who campaigned far beyond their ownborders. From Lothian to Orkney and from Fife to the Isle of Skye, fierce battles were won and lost,but, by AD 1000, a dynasty of Gaelic-speaking kings, the Picts, and Scots began to forge a single,unified nation which transcended enmities. With maps to illustrate the history, this chronicle brings tolife the great warrior-kings of early Scotland.

Contributor BioRobert Ferguson is an attorney who was invested into the Knights Templar, Grand Priory of the Scotsin 1998 and is the Priory's Avocat. He is also a former regional vice-president of the Clan FergusonSociety of North America. He lives in Claremont, California.

SummaryNow available in paperback, the first book to chronicle the history of the Knights Templar inScotland, from 1127 to the present, with a new theory on Templar participation at the Battle ofBannockburnPlaces and books such as Rosslyn Chapel and The Da Vinci Code have focused attention on Scotland'sKnights Templar. Who they were and what they did has been touched upon, but never properlyexplored. Close advisors to Scotland's early kings, they were major property owners and respectedlandlords in a harsh and unforgiving time. But they were also secretive and arrogant. Did they flee toScotland just prior to their arrest on October 13, 1307? Did they fight with Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn in1314? And how did the Templars continue on after Bannockburn? This book intertwines Templar andScottish history, beginning with an overview of the Templars, and then applying this to Templar life inScotland. It describes the Templar arrests in France and contrasts this with the Templar Inquisition atHolyrood, then following the Templars from Bannockburn to the present.

Assembling EnclosureTransformations in the Rural Landscape of Post-Medieval North-East EnglandRonan O'Donnell

Contributor BioRonan O'Donnell has a doctorate from the University of Durham, having gained a BSc in Archaeologyfrom Durham and an MA in English Local History from the University of Leicester. His interests focuson the relationship between global and local process and the implications of changes to systems ofland tenure.

SummaryThe landscape history of North-East England has not been studied as much as other parts of thecountry. This book begins to fill this gap by utilizing Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to re-assess thefamiliar topics of enclosure and improvement. It reveals the contribution of local 'actors' – includinglandowners, tenants and the landscape itself – to these 'processes'. In so doing it transforms ourunderstanding of the way in which the landscape of Northumberland was created during theeighteenth and nineteenth centuries and carries wider implications for how we might approachenclosure in other parts of the country.

A New Race of MenScotland 1815?1914Michael Fry

Contributor BioMichael Fry is the author of The Dundas Depotism; How the Scots Made America; The Scottish Empire;The Union: England, Scotland and the Treaty of 1707; and Wild Scots: Four Hundred Years of HighlandHistory. He has also written numerous articles on modern Scottish history and several politicalpamphlets and has contributed to most major Scottish and British newspapers. He has been aweekly columnist for the Scotsman, the Herald, and the Sunday Times.

SummaryIn his new book, Michael Fry goes well beyond the conventional analyses of the economy and societyto which previous histories have confined themselves. Here the central thread of the story is notsteady assimilation to the norms of the United Kingdom but the survival of distinct forms ofScottishness that both derived from an independent past and laid the foundations for thereassertion of nationality in the present time. The emphasis is therefore not on those aspects inwhich Scotland became more like the rest of Britain—though these are acknowledged anddescribed—but rather on the ways in which Scotland remained different. Through detailed newresearch, particular attention is paid to the development of politics and government in the Victorianera. Above all, however, Fry points to the condition of Scottish culture, in both its triumphs and itsfailings, as the key to understanding what made the nation falter in some respects yet in otherssurvive and at length prosper once again. Throughout, for this exemplary era of Scottishindividualism, he relies not on theories and statistic...

Contributor BioAdrian Greenwood is a dealer in rare books and has written many articles for antique magazines.Philip Haythornthwaite is an internationally renowned military historian with a particular expertise inthe Napoleonic Wars. He is the author of more than 40 books, including British Riflemen, Gallipoli,1915, and Napoleonic Light Cavalry Tactics.

SummaryThe first full-length appraisal of an incredible military career ranging from the War of 1812 to theFirst Opium War in China and well beyond

Military service over an unprecedented 55 years took Field Marshal Colin Campbell from thebattlefields of the Iberian peninsula to the plains of India, via the West Indies, Nova Scotia, China,Java, the Balkans, and Russia. Wounded six times—the first time at 20, the last when 65 yearsold—he always led from the front, ever ready to ride the whirlwind and direct the storm. There wasn’ta great power which he did not stand beside as an ally, or confront as a foe. He was in command atthe most decorated battle in British history, earning 18 Victoria Crosses, and it was he whoreconquered a subcontinent with an army Wellington would have thought sufficient for areconnaissance-in-force. But Campbell’s story is also a very personal one, the struggle of the son ofa Glaswegian cabinetmaker who climbed all the way to the House of Lords.

The New Testament in ScotsW. L. Lorimer, Robin Lorimer, Richard Holloway

Contributor BioWilliam Laughton Lorimer (1885–1967) was best known as one of the most learned Greek scholarsof his generation, but he also began studying spoken Scots when he was only nine years old. Duringthe last 20 years of his life, he made a substantial contribution to The Scottish National Dictionary;during the last 10, he also translated the New Testament from Greek into Scots, but had not finallyrevised three-quarters of his voluminous manuscripts when he died. His son Robin Lorimer(1918–1996), a distinguished publisher and scholar in his own right, completed the transcription andthe editing of the work which was published to great acclaim in 1983. Richard Holloway is a formerBishop of Edinburgh who has written for many newspapers in Britain including the Guardian, theSunday Herald, the Times, and the Scotsman. His books include Between the Monster and the Saint:Reflections on the Human Condition, Godless Morality, and Doubts and Loves.

SummaryIn making this Scots translation of the New Testament, the author undertook the project ofrecreating Scots prose, and went to work scrutinizing upwards of 180 translations in more than 20languagesThe Greek scholar William Lorimer spent the last 10 years of his life working on this project, in whicheach Gospel has a different form of Scots to match the different forms of Greek used by the variousapostles and scribes. The vigor and immediacy of the language is always apparent. Transcribed,edited, and published by his son Robin Lorimer, this scholarly and dramatically fresh reading of analready familiar text caused a sensation when it first appeared in 1983. Beyond the poetry of theKing James version, here are the voices of the disciples themselves, speaking, as they undoubtedlydid, in "plain braid Galilee."
