Book cover. Edward 2nd’s host followed the line of the old Roman road, which ran through an ancient forest known as the Tor Wood, over the Bannockburn and into the New Park, a hunting preserve enclosed at the time of Alexander III. Bruce’s army had been assembling in the Tor Wood, an area providing good natural cover, from the middle of May. On Saturday, 22 June, with his troops now organised into their respective commands, Bruce moved his army slightly to the north to the New Park, a more heavily wooded area, where his movements could be concealed and which, if the occasion demanded, could provide cover for a withdrawal.

Tytler’s History of Scotland in Britannica continued; At New Park the ground was partly open, partly with trees, with the approach protected by a dangerous morass. The Scottish line of battle extended from south to north, and fronted east or south east. The right wing rested on a brook called Bannockburn, whose broken wooded banks secured the flank from the assault.

The left wing extended toward Stirling, was protected by rows of pits 3 feet deep, with sharp stakes driven and the points covered with sod.   The right wing was commanded by Edward Bruce, the left win by James Douglas and Walter the Steward of Scotland; and Thomas Randolph, King Robert’s nephew, commanded the central division. King Robert Bruce commanded the reserve, with vassals of Carrick, men of the isles, Argyle and Kentire. The camp followers were with the baggage behind the hill at the rear of the Scottish army, which hill was still called the Gillies’ (or servants’) hill as of 1830.

1679 Battle of Bothwell Bridge over the river Clyde, between Covenanters and troops of Monmouth (TG51-246) 400 killed (TG51-247). 1200 prisoners. Ministers executed, prisoners sent to plantations (Barbadoes, and Carolinas). Shortly after this battle, Cameron and Cargill, two preachers, publicly excommunicated the king (Charles 2nd Stuart) for immorality, tyranny, breach of the covenant, and renounced allegiance. Tytler’s Britannica.

A banner which flew at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in 1679, one of Scotland’s fiercest religious conflicts, has been restored by experts in the Scottish Museums Council. (Note that the illustration here is of another such banner, displayed in the Museum of Scotland). The restored banner had been displayed in Airdrie library in Lanarkshire and there had been concerns that the fragile state of the 323-year-old flag might result in it having to be removed from permanent public display. The banner has the motto “Nemo me impune lacessit” (nobody provokes me with impunity or, in Scots, “Wha daur meddle wi’ me”) and is one of only two known to have survived. More than 6,000 Covenanters gathered outside Hamilton in Lanarkshire on June 22, 1679. They were defending Presbyterianism from the forces loyal to King Charles I who was trying to introduce an English Episcopalian prayer book. www.rampantscotland.com

Failure to take the oath results in death. The Killing Times had begun. Video: The Sword and the Cross: Covenant or King.

The Killing Time was a period of conflict in Scottish history between the Presbyterian Covenanter movement, based largely in the south west of the country, (Ayrshire) and the government forces of Kings Charles II and James VII.

After the Restoration of 1660, episcopacy was reintroduced into the Church of Scotland, returning church governance to the situation that existed prior to the expulsion of the bishops by the Glasgow General Assembly in 1638 and overthrowing the Presbyterian form of organisation favoured by the Covenanters. Wikipedia.

The period, roughly from 1680 to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, was subsequently called the Killing Time by Robert Woodrow in his The History of the Sufferings of the Church of Scotland from the Restoration to the Revolution, published in 1721-1722. It is an important episode in the martyrology of the Church of Scotland. Openlibrary.org

 

1711 Alexander Stuart FRS FRCP (1673– 15 September 1742) was a British natural philosopher and physicist. Born in Aberdeen, Scotland. 1708 Stuart started a medical degree at Leiden University, and graduated on 22 June 1711. 1740 awarded the Copley Medal by the Royal Society of London for “For his Lectures on Muscular Motion. As a further addition for his services to the Society in the care and pains he has taken therein’.

1738 – Robert Miller’s (II of St. Quivox) who died in 1732, left his only son Robert, (Miller III) who was served heir to his father’s estate on 22 June 1738. The senior Robert Miller’s (II of St. Quivox) will is preserved on pp. 138-142 of Vol. 51, August 19, 1731-May 26, 1736, of the Glasgow Testaments. It reproduces Robert 2nd’s marriage contract with Helen Meldrum, a list of debts owing to Robert 2nd , and an inventory of Robert 2nd property including ‘two little horses, both very [81 YYMA] old… of our Cowes..tuo young Cowes & ane Calf…household plenishing & furniture Including half ane Dozen Silver Spoons & a Silver Jug… .Sum old Books’ and an account of debts owing.

Where Robert [Miller] III spent the years between his father’s death

and his appearance in South Carolina (at age 24) is unknown; the minutes of Ayr Presbytery existed until recent years but cannot currently be located and his mother may have remarried and moved. His formal service of heir (the Latin text is in Ing. Ret. Reg. Vol. 65, fol. 45—June 1738, No. 19) may have been in connection with plans for emigration; it took place at an age younger (age 12) than was customary.

1745 June 22. PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART embarked at Nantes on board La Doutelle, accompanied by the Duke of Atholl (M. of Tullibardine), Sir John MacDonald, Leneas MacDonald, Colonel Strickland, Sir Thomas Sheridan, Captain O’Sulivan, George Kelly, Mr. Buchanan (I. 201, 282), and Anthony Welch, the owner of the ship.

1825 The Talisman published. Inspired by the Lee penny. During the crusades of the 14th century the Lockharts brought back a precious heirloom, a touch piece which has been treasured ever since.

It is known as the “Lee Penny”. At the Battle of Teba in Spain, Sir Simon Lockhart captured a Moorish Emir and received from the man’s mother as part of his ransom an amulet or stone with healing powers. The Prince’s mother told Sir Simon that the stone was a sovereign remedy against bleeding and fever, the bite of a mad dog, and sickness in horses and cattle. The stone is dark orange in colour and oblique in shape and was later set in a silver coin which has now been identified as a four penny piece from the reign of King Edward IV. The Lee Penny is kept in a gold snuffbox which was a gift from Maria Theresa of Austria, Empress of Austria to her general Count James Lockhart in 1789.

The fame of the Lee Penny spread through Scotland and Northern England and there are many recorded occasions when it was employed with apparent success. The coin was exempted from the Church of Scotland’s prohibition on charms and was lent to the citizens of Newcastle during the reign of King Charles 1 to protect them from the plague. A sum of between £1000 and £6000 was pledged for its return.

1989 Circuit board stolen. Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on 21 December 1988 when the wreckage fell on the town of Lockerbie in the Dumfries and Galloway region of south-western Scotland. In a sworn affidavit before a Zurich notary public, Lumpert stated that he had stolen a prototype MST-13 timer printed circuit board from Mebo and gave it without permission on 22 June 1989, to “an official person investigating the Lockerbie case”. sample he was asked to identify at the trial was a green 9-ply circuit board that Mebo had indeed supplied to Libya. Bollier wanted to pursue this discrepancy, but was told by trial Judge, Lord Sutherland, that he could not do so.

‘Fragments of a Samsonite suitcase believed to have contained the bomb were recovered, together with parts and pieces of circuit board identified as part of a Toshiba Bombeat radio cassette player, similar to that used to conceal a Semtex bomb seized by West German police from the Palestinian militant group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command two months earlier. Items of baby clothing, which were subsequently proven to have been made in Malta, were also thought to have come from the same suitcase.

The clothes were traced to a Maltese merchant, Tony Gauci, who became a key prosecution witness, testifying that he sold the clothes to a man of Libyan appearance. Gauci was interviewed 23 times, giving contradictory evidence about who had bought the clothes, that person’s age, appearance and the date of purchase but later identified Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. As Megrahi had only been in Malta on 7 December, that date was assumed to be the purchase date.

‘A circuit board fragment, allegedly found embedded in a piece of charred material, was identified as part of an electronic timer similar to that found on a Libyan intelligence agent who had been arrested 10 months previously, carrying materials for a Semtex bomb. The timer allegedly was traced through its Swiss manufacturer, Mebo, to the Libyan military, and Mebo employee Ulrich Lumpert identified the fragment at al-Megrahi’s trial. Mebo’s owner, Edwin Bollier testified at the trial that the Scottish police had originally shown him a fragment of a brown 8-ply circuit board, of a prototype timer which had never been supplied to Libya. On 18 July 2007, Ulrich Lumpert admitted he had lied at the trial

2012 Brave (Disney film) released. In Scotland, stories of fictional battles and legends have been passed through generations. Merida (Kelly Macdonald), a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), is determined to prove her worth. After ignoring an age-old custom sacred to Lords MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), Macintosh (Craig Ferguson) and Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane) [there actually was a Dingwall castle in Ross and Cromarty], Merida inadvertently causes controversy and chaos in the kingdom.

The story takes place during the 10th century in the highlands of Scotland. Dingwall actually exists and had a battle recorded there.

Recounts within “voting areas” are permitted when circumstances require under the instructions of the “Counting officers (CO).” It is the first time that a United Kingdom referendum is be counted overnight as both the previous 1975 EEC Referendum and the 2011 AV Referendum were counted during the course of the following day after polling stations closed.

And it’s all rooted on immigration issues and how these countries have growing members of the population who are now aware that every one of these countries in the European Union is at risk of losing their own identity and sovereignty.  They’re still gonna have borders, but they won’t matter.  You’ve heard the globalists and their desire for New World Order and the end of nation states.  That’s really what the elites in the European Union want, and they’ve got their supporters here in the US.
