A turbulent history has shaped Scotland and
its people down through the ages….
The disastrous Battle of Culloden in 1746
proved to be a major watershed and spelled
the end of the
Clan system which had prevailed
for centuries.
In its aftermath came the infamous Highland
Clearances, when thousands of Scots were
forced to seek new lives overseas,
contributing greatly to the strengths of
countries world-wide.
|
 |
But wherever they may be, Scots and
their descendents retain a fierce
pride in their nationhood.
Clan names live on, preserving
culture, heritage and a sense of
family, and forging strong
associations between individuals and
the land of their roots.

In Jacobite times, the targe, a

defence in battle. To see a
