Medieval Scottish Silver Hoard FOUND!
I was out metal detecting and I found a medieval hoard of silver
coins from the period of the Scottish wars of independence! This was
a time when characters like William Wallace, Robert The Bruce and
Edward Longshanks were battling it out for supremacy. After years of
searching for even one hammered coin, it was so incredible to find a
scattered hoard of medieval silver, a dream come true! Untouched for
over 700 years! We would love to hear your theories about who might
have buried the hoard and why!
Highlanders - the aristocrats of democracy
Documentary from 1995 looking at the Scottish Highlands History
language and people. After reading the recent BBC Scotland web news
Nov 16 2013 I was dismayed to read that the number of folks speaking
Gaelic in the Highlands is falling. It reminded me of this
documentary I had recorded many years ago when I lived down south in
the big smoke when optimism was high for revival of things Gaelic
anyway here it is narrated by Scotlands most famous thespiann. |
