Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Travelling anti-clockwise, David M. Addison seeks his kicks on Scotland's equivalent of Route 66. Otherwise known as NC500, the route takes you through five hundred miles of some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery. No wonder it has been voted as one of the world's five most scenic road…journeys. There are many mays of exploring the NC500. You can drive it, cycle it, motorbike it or even walk it, even if you are not one of The Proclaimers! And there are as many activities, places of interest and sights to be seen along the way as there are miles. This is a personal account of the author's exploration of the NC500 as well as some detours from it, such as to the Black Isle, Strathpeffer and Dingwall. Whatever your reason or reasons for exploring the NC500 may be, you should read this book before you go, or take it with you as a vade mecum. It will enhance your appreciation of the NC500 as you learn about the history behind the turbulent past of the many castles; hear folk tales, myths and legends connected with the area; become acquainted with the ancient peoples who once lived in this timeless landscape, and read about the lives of more recent heroes such as the good Hugh Miller who met a tragic end and villains such as the notorious Duke of Sutherland, who died in his bed (and may not be quite as bad as he is painted). There are a good number of other characters too of whom you may have never heard: some colourful, some eccentric, some very eccentric. You may not necessarily wish to follow in the author's footsteps in all that he did, but if you read this book you will certainly see the landscape through more informed eyes as you do whatever you want to do en route NC500. Sit in your car and enjoy the scenery for its own sake (and remember you get a different perspective from a different direction, so you may want to come back and do it again to get an alternative point of view!), or get out and explore it at closer quarters - the choice is yours, but this book will complement your experience, whatever you decide. A lively and entertaining road trip around Scotland's North Coast 500 Route, exploring the history and cultural heritage of the area with plenty of exciting diversions and anecdotes along the way. Journeying around the Northern Highlands of Scotland, the author visits many towns and villages as well as sometimes going off the beaten track. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Rising from the dark, peat-stained waters of the Trossachs near Aberfoyle, the upper River Forth winds eastward through one of the most storied and contested landscapes in all of Scotland. For millennia, this stretch of water - barely thirty miles in length - has served as something far gre…ater than a river. It has been a border, a battleground, a threshold between worlds.When the legions of Rome marched north into Caledonia, it was the Forth that checked their ambitions. The Romans understood instinctively what the land itself proclaimed: that here, where the Highlands gave way to the carse and the river coiled through its ancient floodplain towards Stirling's commanding rock, lay the true edge of empire. The frontier they established was not merely a line on a map - it was a living, shifting, disputed thing, written in earthwork and fort, in watchtower and ditch, in the bones of those who fought and died along its banks.But Rome's frontier was only the beginning of the story. From the retreating legions through the struggles of the Pictish kingdoms, the coming of Christianity, the Viking age, and the turbulent centuries of Scotland's medieval flowering, the upper Forth remained what it had always been: the pivot upon which the fate of a nation turned.In Scotland's First Frontier, Dr Murray Cook - Stirling Council's archaeologist, Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, and one of Scotland's most trusted and engaging voices on the deep past - brings this extraordinary landscape vividly to life. Drawing on decades of excavation and research in the Stirling area, he reveals what the soil, the river, and the ruins have preserved across two thousand years of human drama. His eye for telling detail and his gift for compelling narrative transform archaeology from an academic pursuit into living history. This is the story of a river that refused to be merely a river. It is the story of Scotland itself. Archaeologist Dr Murray Cook explores the history of the Old Forth, winding from Aberfoyle to Stirling in Central Scotland. He relates tales of Roman invasion and Viking attacks before sharing things to see and do in the area in the present. This item is printed on demand.
