  • Now a peaceful and idyllic farmland landscape but once the battlefield of the Battle of Flooden, on 28th June 2019, in Branxton, Northumberland, England. The Battle of Flodden Field was undoubtedly the most famous confrontation between the English and Scots ever fought on English soil. It took place eight miles to the north west of Wooler near the village of Branxton on September 9th, 1513 in the reign of Henry VIII. Approximately 10,000 Scots and 5,000 English were slaughtered.

  • While two mates in tartan uniform trousers look a little bashfully, a more forward friend from the same Scots regiment soldier chats to two young women during 50th anniversary celebrations of wartime VE Day. Bending down to make himself heard and perhaps to impress the two rather posh females into sharing their phone numbers. They are in Hyde Park to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved.

  • The Chapel built by sculpter John Bunting at Scotch Corner on Bronze Age Hambleton Street and medieval drovers and trade route, North Yorkshire. Local man Bunting (1927-2002) exemplified the master craftsman, discovering the derelict structure as 16 year-old and spending his life renovating the structure then carving in stone inside and out. The Chapel is open to the public 2-3 times a year and walkers and admirers of Bunting climb the hill via the drovers route from nearby Oldstead. Scotch Corner takes its name from the Scots and English battle of 1322.

  • Duart Castle near Craignure, Isle of Mull, Scotland. Standing proudly on a cliff top guarding the Sound of Mull, Duart enjoys one of the most spectacular and unique positions on the West Coast of Scotland. For over 400 years this has been the base of the Scots Clan Maclean's sea-borne power. Duart was originally a rectangular wall enclosing a courtyard. In 1350 Lachlan Lubanach, the 5th Chief, married Mary Macdonald, the daughter of the Lord of the Isles and she was given Duart as her dowry. In 1691 the Macleans surrendered Duart and all their lands on Mull to the Duke of Argyll. The Castle, although in a fairly ruinous condition was used as a garrison for Government troops until 1751. It was then abandoned until 1910 when it was purchased by Sir Fitzroy Maclean, 26th Chief.

  • Local signpost showing nearby village milage and the ruins of Cistercian Byland Abbey. Located near Coxwold and Oldstead and on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, Byland Abbey was described in the late 12th century as one of the shining lights of northern monasticism. The abbey rose to be one of the largest of the Savigniac order in Britain and the remains of the buildings, particularly the great church, are significant in the development of northern architecture in the second half of the 12th century. Sacked by a Scots army after the battle of Shaws Moor in 1322, it was destroyed in the Dissolution of abbeys and monasteries by Henry VIII in 1538; the buildings then became ruinous and a source of building stone for local people.

  • Gothic memorial of angels in cemetery of Church of the Holy Rude in Stirling. The Biblical words Saviour, Judge and King are written in stained glass along the top of the architectural piece. Holy Rude is one of the town's most historically important buildings. It was rebuilt in the 1400s after Stirling suffered a catastrophic fire in 1405, and is the only surviving church in the United Kingdom apart from Westminster Abbey, to have held a coronation. On 29 July 1567 the infant son of Mary, Queen of Scots, was crowned James VI of Scotland here. Musket shot marks from Cromwell's troops during the War of the Three Kingdoms are clearly visible on the tower and apse. Another important historical religious site in the area is Cambuskenneth Abbey.

  • The Star Pyramid in Stirling's Holy Rude Churchyard. Dedicated to religious martyrs and freedom, the pyramid was commissioned by William Drummond in 1863. Inscribed with the words Rock of Ages, Psalms 62 which in the Christian Bible, talks about 'God, our Rock of Ages .. that the rock which is higher than we are, that rock who is a refuge.' etc. As the peak of the pyramid rises to a point we also see the carving in stone of an open Bible that as if printed, has the words 'Word of God' and on the next page, "Light and Truth.'  On 29 July 1567 the infant son of Mary, Queen of Scots, was crowned James VI of Scotland near here.

  • Accompanied by a City of London police officer, members of a Druid sect walk through the street as part of their Spring Equinox celebrations. The Ancient Druids were once Judges, Kingmakers, Scientists, Magicians and Priests and their modern counterparts may be viewed likewise. The word itself comes through both Brythonic tongues (Cornish and Welsh) meaning either knowledge of the oak or wizard - or wise man in Gaelic (Irish and Scots.) Druidry itself is both a philosophical viewpoint and a religious world view, although many Druids view themselves  also as Pagan Priests. A druid was a member of the priestly class in Gaul and possibly other parts of Celtic western Europe during the Iron Age. Following the invasion of Gaul by the Roman Empire, the druids were suppressed by the Roman government.

  • Across the calm waters of a Scottish bay, isolated houses and crofts sit before the dramatic Cuillin Mountains that rise up in the distance on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Sunlight from unusually fine weather spreads across this beautiful landscape seen from the road to Dunvegan, near the hamlet of Harlosh. Farming practices have changed irreversably in a generation and many southerners have English accents rather than that of native Scots islanders as city dwellers from the far south seek an alternative to urban lifestyles. The weather can have adverse effects on those unprepared for such wild conditions, especially during harsh winters when violent storms batter these Atlantic coasts. But old crofts have been converted to bed and breakfast homes, catering for tourist visitors who adore this form of idyllic escapism.

  • The last light of day fades on the still waters of Sgeir Nam Biast, a bay overlooking Waternish Headland, near Dunvegan, north-west Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands. A solitary light bulb glows from an upstairs room in this isolated cottage across the calm lake. The weather is perfect but unusual for one of the wildest parts of Britain.

  • Hill landscape looking from Sutton Bank to distant North Yorkshire fields below. From a high altitude, we look westwards down on faraway woodland, fields of farms and villages, located on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Sutton Bank, also known as Roulston Scar, is a hill in the Hambleton District of the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire in England. The hill is the site of one of the most important prehistoric monuments in the region—a massive hillfort built in the Iron Age, around 400 BC. It was the approximate location of the attack of the Scots in a major victory Battle of Old Byland they defeated the forces of King Edward II and John of Brittany, Earl of Richmond.
