2007-06-26  |  O R E T B R    R N B S U      Robert Burns

Robert Burns (January 25, 1759 – July 21, 1796) was a poet and a lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best-known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a 'light' Scots dialect which would have been accessible to a wider audience than simply Scottish people. At various times in his career, he wrote in English, and in these pieces, his political or civil commentary is often at its most blunt.

R   A   T   N   T   A        TARTAN A tartan is a pattern consisting of crisscrossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Tartans originated in woven cloth, but are now used in many other materials. Tartan is particularly associated with Celtic countries, especially Scotland. Scottish kilts almost always have tartan patterns. In the modern era, specific tartans have become associated with Scottish clans or Scottish (and other) families, or simply institutions who are (or wish to be seen as) associated in some way with a Scottish (or other Celtic) heritage.

A  G  C  I  E  L         U  G  L  A  E  N  G  A      GAELIC LANGUAGE

This is one of the the three official languages of Scotland (English, Gaelic and Scots).

Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) is a member of the Goidelic branch of Celtic languages. This branch also includes the Irish and Manx languages. It is distinct from the Brythonic branch of the Celtic languages, which includes Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. Scottish, Manx and Irish Gaelic are all descended from Old Irish. The language is often described as Scottish Gaelic, Scots Gaelic, or Gàidhlig to avoid confusion with the other two Goidelic languages. Outside Scotland, it is occasionally also called Scottish or Scots, a usage dating back over 1,500 years, for example Old English Scottas. This usage is uncommon in Scotland because since the 16th century the word Scots has by-and-large been used to describe (Lowland) Scots, which developed from the northern form of early Middle English.

Y  M  R  A           R  U  S  A  T  T        MARY  STUART

Mary I (1542 – 1587) was Queen of Scots (the monarch of the Kingdom of Scotland) from 1542, to 1567. She was also the Queen Consort of France (Reine de France) from 1559 to 1560. Princess Mary Stuart was born at Linlithgow Palace  to King James V of Scotland and his French wife, Mary of Guise. The six-day-old Mary became Queen of Scotland when her father died at the age of thirty. Under the ordinary laws of succession, Mary was next in line to the English throne after her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, who was childless. The anti-Catholic Act of Settlement was not passed until 1701, but the testament of Henry VIII had excluded the Stuarts from succeeding to the English throne. Because of her tragic life, she is one of the best-known Scottish monarchs.

I  W  A  M  L  I  L       L  E  A  W  L  C  A       WILLIAM  WALLACE

Sir William Wallace (c. 1270–August 23, 1305) was a knight and Scottish patriot, who led a resistance to the English occupation of Scotland during the Wars of Scottish Independence. Wallace was the inspiration for the poem The Acts and Deeds of Sir William Wallace, Knight of Elderslie by the 15th century minstrel Blind Harry. This work is purported to be a piece of creative writing, creating a myth-history rather than empirical historical document, and is responsible for much of the legend encompassing Wallace. The largely fictitious 1995 film Braveheart is based on the poem.

R  G  E  T  A         L  G  N  E            GREAT GLEN

The Great Glen, also known as Glen Albyn or Glen More is a series of valleys in Scotland running 100 kilometres from Inverness on the Moray Firth to Fort William at the head of Loch Linnhe. The Glen is a natural travelling route in the Highlands of Scotland. Its strategic importance in controlling the Highland Scottish clans, particularly around the time of the Jacobite uprisings of the 18th century, is recognised by the presence of the towns of Fort William in the south, Fort Augustus in the middle of the Glen, and Fort George, just to the north of Inverness. Much of the Glen is taken up with a series of lochs, with rivers connecting them. The Caledonian Canal also uses the lochs as part of the route, but the rivers are not navigable.

R  S  I       A  L  W  R  E  T     T  O  S  T  C       SIR  WALTER  SCOTT

Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (15 August 1771 – 21 September 1832) was a prolific Scottish historical novelist and poet popular throughout Europe during his time. In some ways Scott was the first author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers all over Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and poetry are still read, and many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and specifically, of Scottish literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley and The Heart of Midlothian.

T  I  S  C  O  T  H  S     L  G  H  A  I  S N  H  D    SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS

	Scottish Highlands include the rugged and mountainous regions of Scotland north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault. The Great Glen divides the Grampian Mountains to the southeast from the Northwest Highlands. The Highlands are popularly described as one of the most scenic regions of Europe. The area is generally sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region.
	Remarkably, given that it is part of the crowded island of Britain, the average population density in the Highlands and Islands is lower than that for Sweden, Norway, Papua New Guinea or Argentina. Culturally the area is quite different from the Scottish Lowlands. Some similarities exist between the culture of the Highlands and that of Ireland: examples include the Gaelic language, sport and Celtic music.

E   B   N   D   E   A   R   E     ABERDEEN

Aberdeen is Scotland's third largest city with a population of 202,370. Nicknames include the Granite City and the Silver City, but since the discovery of North Sea oil in the 1970's, other nicknames have been the Oil Capital of Europe or the Energy Capital of Europe. The traditional industries were fishing, paper-making, shipbuilding and textiles, but they have been overtaken by the oil industry and Aberdeen's seaport. Aberdeen has won the Britain in Bloom competition ten times, and hosts the Aberdeen International Youth Festival.

I E D N G B H U R   G R I E F N   E S V L A F T I    EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL

The Edinburgh Fringe (officially the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, commonly just The Fringe) is the world’s largest arts festival. It takes place in Scotland's capital during three weeks every August. The Fringe is so called after Robert Kemp, a Scottish playwright and journalist, wrote during the second Edinburgh International Festival in 1948: ‘Round the fringe of official Festival drama, there seems to be more private enterprise than before … I am afraid some of us are not going to be at home during the evenings!’. The 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival promises to be bigger than ever!

O   L   C   H          S   N   E   S         LOCH NESS

Loch Ness (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Nis) is a large, deep freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 37 km (23 miles) southwest of Inverness. Loch Ness is best known for the alleged sightings of the legendary Loch Ness Monster ("Nessie"). The only island on Loch Ness is Cherry Island, visible at its southwestern end, near Fort Augustus. At Drumnadrochit is a Loch Ness Monster exhibition centre, which contains information on the legendary creature.

A   I   G   E   B   P   P           BAGPIPE

Bagpipes have been important in almost every European and Middle Eastern culture, but it is with Scotland that the pipes are inevitably associated. Different types of bagpipes are still played today in Ireland, England, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland, and several Arab countries; Scottish pipes are played in virtually every British Commonwealth nation and the United States. There is more than one style of Scottish bagpipe: 'highland pipes' for playing indoors and 'lowland pipes'  similar to Irish Uileann pipes.

U  L  D  A      A N  G  L      Y   E  N  S         AULD LANG SYNE

"Auld Lang Syne" is a song by Robert Burns (1759-1796), although a similar poem by Robert Ayton (1570-1638), as well as older folk songs, use the same phrase, and may well have inspired Burns.

In any case, it is one of the better-known songs in English-speaking countries, and it is often sung at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. Like many other frequently sung songs, the melody is better remembered than the words, which are often sung incorrectly, and seldom in full.

The song is commonly accompanied by a traditional dance. The group who is singing forms a ring, holding hands for the first verse. For the second verse, arms are crossed and again linked. For the third verse everyone moves in to the centre of the ring and then out again.

The song's (Scots) title may be translated into English literally as 'old long since', or more idiomatically 'long ago', or 'days gone by'. In his retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language, Matthew Fitt uses the phrase “In the days of auld lang syne” as the equivalent of “Once upon a time”. In Scots Syne is pronounced like the English word sign — IPA: [sain]—not [zain] as many people pronounce it.

E   N   B        I   N   E   S   V              BEN   NEVIS

Ben Nevis - the highest mountain of Scotland. At just under 4,500 feet, Ben Nevis dominates the skyline above the town of Fort William on the west coast of Scotland. Follow the old pony track, used to serve the old weather observatory, built in 1883, the ruins of which still stand on the summit.

S   A   G   H   I   G              HAGGIS

Haggis is possibly the best known Scottish delicacy, and it is wonderful, it has a rich flavour, some people tasting it for the first time, are often put off when they know what it is made of. Haggis is made from sheep's offal (or pluck).

Ingredients: 1 sheep's lung, 1 sheep's stomach, 1 sheep heart , 1 sheep liver , 1/2 lb fresh suet, 3/4 cup oatmeal,  3 onions, finely chopped, 1 teaspoon salt , 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg , 3/4 cup stock

Method:
Wash the lung and the stomach well, rub it with salt and then rinse
Remove the membranes and the excess fat
Soak it in cold salted water for several hours
Turn the stomach inside out for stuffing
Cover the heart and the liver with cold water
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and cover and simmer for 30 minutes
Chop the heart and coarsely grate the liver
Toast the oatmeal in a tray in the stove, until it is golden brown
Combine all ingredients and mix well
Loosely pack mixture into stomach, about two-thirds full
Remember, oatmeal expands in cooking
Press any air out of stomach and truss securely
Put into boiling water to cover
Simmer for 3 hours, uncovered, adding more water as needed to maintain water level
Prick stomach several times with a sharp needle when it begins to swell; this keeps the bag from bursting
