Living in Atholl
Atholl is a district in North Perthshire.
Out of Atholl
This story emerged through the chance survival of an archive of documents covering a dozen generations of a family that lived in Atholl in Highland Perthshire. One was killed fighting Cromwell's soldiers. Another was clapped in the Tower of London after the 1715 Rising. Another died at Culloden. Others fought against Napoleon, ran slave plantations in the West Indies, ran off with unsuitable lovers, sired innumerable children of many hues, and struggled for financial stability as the winds of economic and social change blew through their ancient feudal society. Over the 150 years up to 1850 it shows, very often in their own words, their triumphs and their inevitable tragedies.Out of Atholl i...
Atholl and Gowrie, North Perthshire
A unique combination of illustrated guidebook and engrossing narrative, this is a chronological history of Atholl and Gowrie from prehistoric times to the present day, including maps of the district and site plans. Both areas are extremely rich in archaeology and this guide takes in the full range from neolithic cairns to medieval palaces, from industrial workers' cottages to Roman fortresses. A full gazetteer combines with the narrative to produce a definitive history of this beautiful part of Scotland, on the boundary of Highland and Lowland, that has played such a full part in Scotland's history.
The Scottish Witch-Hunt in Context
This book is a collection of essays on Scottish witchcraft and witch-hunting, which covers the whole period of the Scottish witch-hunt, from the mid-16th century to the early 18th. It particularly emphasizes the later stages, since scholars are now as keen to explain why witch-hunting declined as why it occurred. There are studies of particular witchcraft panics, including a reassessment of the role of King James VI. The book thus covers a wide range of topics concerned with Scottish witch-hunting - and also places it in the context of other topics: gender relations, folklore, magic and healing, and moral regulation by church and state.

The Atholl Expedition
SCOTLAND, 1847. Convalescence doesn't suit Professor Forbes.
