Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of Dumfriesshire and Galloway, a region in southwestern Scotland, from the Roman invasion in 79 AD to the end of the 18th century. The author meticulously examines historical records and archaeological evidence to paint a vivid picture of the region's past. The narrative traces the shifting fortunes of the area's inhabitants, from the arrival of the Romans and their encounters with the Selgovae and Novantae tribes, through the introduction of Christianity by St. Ninian, and the subsequent struggles with Norse invaders. The book sheds light on the construction of Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall, and explores the cultural and societal changes that swept through the region over the centuries. Readers will encounter fascinating details about the lives of the early inhabitants, their customs, and their interactions with the Roman Empire. The author discusses the construction and purpose of crannogs, or lake-dwellings, and the insights they offer into the daily lives and craftsmanship of the people. The book also examines the role of the Deil's Dyke, a remarkable rampart, in the ongoing conflict between the Galloway Picts and the inhabitants of Strathclyde. By weaving together archaeological discoveries, historical accounts, and local lore, this book offers a captivating exploration of a region's rich and complex past. It reveals how the interplay of conquest, cultural exchange, and religious transformation shaped the lives of the people of Dumfriesshire and Galloway, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to resonate today.
