- A Chronology Of Scotland lists key events from 7000 BC to 1955..... Events which define the development of Scotland and help us understand the social, polical and ecomonic turns which affected our ancestors' lives and influenced their decisions
- The Flags Of Scotland oftentimes confuse those who are unfamiliar with which one is the official flag of Scotland.
- The Outer Hebrides to Cape Breton - Part I Cape Breton, now part of Nova Scotia in Canada was the destination of more Hebridean Scots than any other part of the then British Empire. There were to be emigrants from England and Ireland in Gabarus and Margaree, and Acadian settlers in Cheticamp and Isle Madame, but otherwise, Cape Breton was to become another Hebrides, on the other side of the Atlantic.
- The Outer Hebrides to Cape Breton - Part II
- From The Outer Hebrides to Prince Edward Island & Wallace, Nova Scotia In 1772 the first organised emigration from the Hebrides to Canada took place, not on the Hector to Pictou in Nova Scotia as is usually assumed, but on the Alexander to Prince Edward Island.
- Music & Heritage of the Outer Hebrides, Scotland Angus Macleod, a folk singer and composer, felt strong ties with his Lewis heritage from the time when his grandfather would sing to him in Gaelic.
- From The Outer Hebrides to The Carolinas (USA) The earliest major emigration from the Western Isles of Scotland was to Virginia and the Carolinas, but this was not, as it is often pictured, the flight of impoverished and demoralised peasantry, forced to leave their land. On the contrary, it was a well-prepared move by some of the wealthier classes in the Highlands and Islands to set up a New Highlands in a New World.
