Stirling Castle
Stirling Castle is one of Scotland's most famous historical sites and one that featured prominently in Scottish history. Associated particularly with the Stewart kings, its chequered history is inter-woven with details on the architectural changes made to the buildings through time. The withdrawl of the army from the castle in 1964 paved the way for a major campaign of conservation and restoration which forms the focus of this publication. A series of experts involved in this campaign report on the work carried out and reveal hidden details on this important building. Richard Fawcett looks at the architecture overall, Michael Lynch at the Great Hall in the reigns of Mary and James VI, Doreen Grove studies the militarisation of the castle, Iain MacIvor the decision to restore the Hall, and Ingval Maxwell, Peter Buchanan, Gordon Ewart and Duncan Peet deal with the different stages and procedures involved in the restoration, surveying and recording of the castle buildings.
Ancestors of Clifford Earl McAllister Vol 2 Family Groups
Vol. 2 of the Ancestors of Clifford Earl McAllister includes the family groups of the first 50 of 58 generations. The McAllister family goes back almost 2000 years to ancient Wales and Ancient Ireland, and the Sea Kings of Norway. Related to Prince Henry Sinclair and Winston Churchill, the lines also go back to the Merovingian Kings of Normandy, France and the Welsh Kings in 100 AD. You might find discrepancies the further back you get as spellings vary, dates are estimated, and sometimes a title is included in the name. While original research was done for the first 8 generations, you should use information past that as a 'guide' and not an absolute.
