Tour Scotland Photograph Sword Fighting
Tour Scotland photograph of a Highlanders Sword Fighting demonstration in Perth, Perthshhire, Scotland. The basked hilted broadsword, Gaelic: claidheamh leathann, was used by the clans from the sixteenth century, when the use of fire arms made armour and consequently heavy weapons like the claymore obsolete, because it could be wielded with one hand and was more versatile in battle. Later on the military were also issued with this style of sword, but this was known as the backsword, claidheamh cùil, as the blade was only sharpened on one side.

Tour Scotland Photograph John Boyd Wilson Memorial Window Dunblane Cathedral
Tour Scotland photograph of the John Boyd Wilson Memorial stained glass window in the Cathedral in Dunblane, Scotland. Above the South-West doorway in the South Aisle is a two-lighted window in memory of Colonel J Boyd Wilson. The figures represent St George and Hope, and the artist was Louis Davis, London, England. Louis Davis was born May 1860 and raised in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England, on East St Helen Street. He was the son of Marianne and Gabriel Davis. His mother, also known as Mary Ann, was from Ewelme, Oxfordshire. His father was a manufacturer, with an interest in the Davis Engineering and Launch Building Company, which built and refurbished boats, barges and canals. Gabriel Davis was also a grain, alcohol and coal merchant. Louis Davis had two older brothers, Arthur and David, and a younger brother named Oliver. Davis married the much younger Edith Jane Webster in 1901 in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. Due to the similarity between the faces of women in his works and that of a picture of Edith, it is probable that she was his model for much of his glass work. The couple never had children, but Edith's sister, Ethel, lived with the couple and was a companion and housekeeper for a period of time. Edith and Louis were both injured due to an accidental gas fire and the resulting fumes in 1915. Davis seemed to have suffered a stroke, lost his ability to speak, and occasionally required a wheelchair for mobility. Edith fully recovered from the incident. Davis died in 1941 after which Edith sold their home and studio and returned to East Anglia where she was raised.

Tour Scotland Photograph Massachusetts Infantry Gravestone Dunblane
Tour Scotland photograph of the William M. Cowan, of the Massachusetts Infantry, gravestone in the cemetery by the cathedral in Dunblane, Scotland. One of the interesting aspects of the Cathedral is the cemetery surrounding it. Of particular interest to Americans may be one memorial marked for " William M Cowan, Massachusetts Infantry who died in Camp Readville US American in defence of the Union against the rebellion, April 1864 Aged 47 Years, " The memorial poses several interesting "mysteries". The inscription is interesting in that there is no Camp Readville. Readville is a town in Massachusetts where Camp Meigs was located. None of the records available show a William M Cowan, or William McCowan, which may be the name on the memorial. There is seems to be no information available either on who built the memorial or why it was built where it stands.

Tour Scotland Photograph Doune Castle
Tour Scotland photograph of Doune Castle, Scotland. Doune Castle was originally built in the thirteenth century, then probably damaged in the Scottish Wars of Independence, before being rebuilt in its present form in the late 14th century by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, the son of King Robert II of Scotland, and Regent of Scotland from 1388 until his death. Duke Robert's stronghold has survived relatively unchanged and complete, and the whole castle was traditionally thought of as the result of a single period of construction at this time. The castle passed to the crown in 1425, when Albany's son was executed, and was used as a royal hunting lodge and dower house. In the later 16th century, Doune became the property of the Earls of Moray. The castle saw military action during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and Glencairn's rising in the mid 17th century, and during the Jacobite Risings of the late 17th century and 18th century. By 1800 the castle was ruined, but restoration works were carried out in the 1880s, prior to its passing into state care in the 20th century. It is now maintained by Historic Scotland.
