History of Scotland

In Scotland, you can find various types of transport options including trains, buses, trams, ferries, and taxis. The train network connects major cities and towns, while buses are more extensive and cover both urban and rural areas. Trams are available in Edinburgh, and ferries are used to travel to Scotland's islands. Taxis are also widely available, especially in urban areas.

I lived at No. 5 Statheden Park from 1953 to 1965, the lane nearby, was at that time an unmetaled and unlit road only wide enough for one vehicle. The road was mainly used by the County Council bin lorries going to and from the dump, now filled and flattened, on the west side of the road about a third of the way up.

Local folklore told of an incident at some time in the 19th century wherby a Tinky Lad,(not PC but that was the terminology of the time) had murdered his wife and then hung himself. The site of the encampment clearing and the tree were identified as being on the east side some fifty yards or so up from the Stratheden end of the lane.

The tree used to exit this life was identified as an ancient and crumbling Ash which was quite rotten and hollow, very probably totally gone now. The tree had a sinister attachment and to us children a threatening presence. A witness to one terrible deed and party to another, to be hurried past without looking too long at. As for going near it at night that was to be avoided for fear of whatever might be there.

That was one version the other being that the Hangman en route from Perth came by this way. In terms of travelling from A to B this never made any sense and possibly a more genteel version designed to mask the grisly deeds associated with the lane. The more genteel version possibly being applied around the early 1860s with the opening of Stratheden Hospital .

Hugh Cressingham was a English treasurer during the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. He played a key role in commanding the English forces alongside John de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey. However, Cressingham's tactics failed, resulting in a decisive Scottish victory led by William Wallace. Cressingham was killed during the battle.

The Battle of Bannockburn was fought between English forces led by Edward II and Scottish forces led by Robert the Bruce in June (23-24) of 1314. Attempting to relieve the Scottish siege of Sterling Castle, Edward II attacked without decisive results on the battle's first day. On the battle's second day, Robert led the Scots in an attack in which their cavalry (and the recklessness of several English nobles) proved to be the winning element. The English were routed, although Edward II managed to escape to safety.

Scottish history after 1066 included daily conflicts between the nobles and the commoners. The nobles were primarily under the control of England, which spawned isolated rebellions from the commoners and highlander tribes. While the nobles sold their identities and national pride for wealth and castles, even they knew the time would come when a fearless leader would unite all of Scotland against English tyranny. That leader would be William Wallace who was portrayed by Mel Gibson in popular movie 'Braveheart'.

William Wallace began fighting primarily in response to the oppressive rule of the English crown over Scotland, particularly under King Edward I. The heavy taxation, loss of Scottish autonomy, and brutal suppression of Scottish culture and rights fueled his desire for freedom. Wallace became a leader in the struggle for Scottish independence, rallying others to resist English domination and fight for their homeland. His actions were driven by a sense of justice and national pride, making him a symbol of resistance against tyranny.

William Wallace became a leader during the Wars of Scottish Independence in the late 13th century by emerging as a prominent figure in the resistance against English rule. His leadership was catalyzed by the oppressive policies of King Edward I of England, which sparked widespread discontent among the Scots. Wallace gained support by rallying local clans and using guerrilla tactics to achieve significant victories, most notably at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. His charisma and commitment to Scottish freedom inspired many to join his cause, solidifying his role as a national hero and symbol of resistance.
