' There is no part of husbandry," says Miller, "of '" which our farmers are, in general, more ignorant, "than that of pasture ." But, if there is ground for this complaint in England, there is certainly much more room for it in Scotland. Our improvements in tillage have been considerable; but our improvements in the management of grass grounds have not advanced in proportion. This is the more to be regretted, as a great part of Scotland, and especially all the Highland countries, must depend chiefly on 4 Miller's Dictionary.--Pasture. pasture. In England, and everywhere else, tillage has been more particularly the object of experiment and improvement; but pasturage is likewise susceptible of many beneficial alterations, and of great advancement. In a pastoral country, such as the Highlands, the proper management of the natural grass, the preservation of hay, and.the increase of food for cattle, by means of artificial pasture and provender, ought to be leading objects in the eye of the farmer. The observations to be made on this subject, may, therefore, be referred to the three articles of Pasture, Natural Hay, and Artificial Grasses. That tribe of plants, called by botanists, the "Gramina," contains all the gramineous plants or grasses, strictly so called, and also the culmiferous pidnls, which comprehend all the various sorts of grain. There is no tribe of plants so useful and important; none so universally disseminated over the face of the earth; none that so highly deserves our care and attention, nor any that is capable of regarding our researches with equal emolument. There is, indeed, no class of herbs or trees equally numerous with that of the gramina, whose roots, leaves, or fruit, afford so...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, A History of the Highland Clearances looks at the forcible clearance of tenants from land they had farmed for centuries by landlords in the Highlands of Scotland in the early nineteenth century. It examines the general context of historical change, provides a full narrative of the clearances and offers a critical evaluation of the documentary sources upon which the entire story depends. By placing his subject in its historical perspective and into the context of the rest of Britain and Europe, Eric Richards vividly illustrates the realities of the Highland experience in the age of the clearances.

Download or read book The Making of the Scottish Countryside written by M. L. Parry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1980, this book examines the evolution of the Scottish landscape from pre-historic times to the mid-nineteenth century. It considers the way in which the structural base of agriculture and the changing farming ‘system’ came to alter the Scottish rural landscape. This book, with its focus on the underlying landscape processes, gives a developmental view of landscape change. It therefore considers the crucial question of the rate and pace of landscape change and argues that the Scottish landscape was not the product of a few brief phases of quite rapid development but rather the result of a continual and gradual process of change. It also looks at the regional variation of landscape change and establishes the importance of regional linkages in the diffusion of ideas especially in new technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new approach to Highland history before the Clearances draws attention to little-studied yet important economic and social processes within the Highland clan system and argues that we should consider the problems of traditional Highland society, economy and environment together. Exploring how the different aspects of the clan system - chiefs and kinsmen, landlords and tenants, farming systems, production strategies and marketing - changed between the 16th-18th centuries, it shows how the character and ideology of clans and chiefdoms are inextricably part of the twin problems of socio-political control and food production. Shifting the emphasis away from depictions of Highland society as lawless and disorganised, this is a welcome antidote to the many romanticised views of pre-Clearance society. Prize Winner!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The step-dancing of the Scotch Gaels in Nova Scotia is the last living example of a form of dance that waned following the great emigrations to Canada that ended in 1845. The Scotch Gael has been reported as loving dance, but step-dancing in Scotland had all but disappeared by 1945. One must look to Gaelic Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, and Antigonish County, to find this tradition. Gaelic Cape Breton Step-Dancing, the first study of its kind, gives this art form and the people and culture associated with it the prominence they have long deserved. Gaelic Scotland’s cultural record is by and large pre-literate, and references to dance have had to be sought in Gaelic songs, many of which were transcribed on paper by those who knew their culture might be lost with the decline of their language. The improved Scottish culture depended proudly on the teaching of dancing and the literate learning and transmission of music in accompaniment. Relying on fieldwork in Nova Scotia, and on mentions of dance in Gaelic song and verse in Scotland and Nova Scotia, John Gibson traces the historical roots of step-dancing, particularly the older forms of dancing originating in the Gaelic–speaking Scottish Highlands. He also places the current tradition as a development and part of the much larger British and European percussive dance tradition. With insight collected through written sources, tales, songs, manuscripts, book references, interviews, and conversations, Gaelic Cape Breton Step-Dancing brings an important aspect of Gaelic history to the forefront of cultural debate.
