Annie Harrower-Gray opens up an alternative view of Scotland's turbulent history, revealing three centuries through the eyes of the nation's women. The whole of society appears, from ordinary labourers, prostitutes and factory hands to their more celebrated sisters and even witches, bodysnatchers and female Jacobites. ??All their tales are freshly researched and told with a sense of humour. Colourful characters abound! Step inside the boudoirs of Edinburgh's ladies of pleasure, whose civilised manners so confused one church minister that he 'accidentally' took tea in a brothel. Creep into the graveyard with Helen Torrance and Jean Lapiq, convicted of bodysnatching half a century before Burke and Hare. Uncover the murky history of Scotland's last witch Helen Duncan, whose eerily accurate wartime predictions led to her imprisonment. This book offers an exciting and erudite voyage through the social history of Scotland. ??Honour the heroines who helped to shape Scotland, yet rest in unvisited tombs!??As featured in Alloa & Hillfoots Advertiser and Scottish Memories Magazine.

In Grabstätte Nummer 32 auf dem Loschwitzer Kirchhof bei Dresden ruhen "Herr Lord Jacob Graf von Findlater, Pair von Schottland" und "Johann Georg Christian Fischer". Wer war dieser schottische Aristokrat? Warum hat er in Sachsen seine letzte Ruhestätte gefunden? Wieso zusammen mit jenem ominösen Herrn Fischer? Und was macht deren gemeinsame Lebensgeschichte gerade auch für uns Heutige überaus anregend und spannend? Indem jenem Lord Findlater und seinem "Partner" nachgespürt wird, werden ihre Biografien eingeordnet in die europäische Geschichte der Zeitenwende um 1800 mit vielfältigen politischen, sozialen, kulturellen, geistes- und ideengeschichtlichen Aspekten wie nicht zuletzt der Entwicklung des Landschaftsgartens in Deutschland. Diese wird in 15 Exkursen, locker verschränkt mit der biografischen Handlung, nachgezeichnet. Gleichzeitig gelingt eine überraschende Neuidentifizierung einer Nebenfigur der Weltliteratur.

Stirling in the sweltering summer of 1967. The Summer of Love has brought Hippies and a new found freedom but Bridie O'Day's only concern is getting through her first week as a probationer at Barton road Police Station. Realising her ambition to join CID is not going to be easy. The Police Force is a hierarchy of mysogynous sergeants and predatory plain clothes officers. Promotion for women is unheard of. On a routine visit to the Raploch, Stirling's most notorious housing scheme, Bridie stumbles upon the body of herbalist Helen Swankie. Helen has been murdered and if she can solve the crime before the maloderous and obnoxious Detective Sergeant Gus Wylie it can only help her chance of getting out of uniform, can't it? With the help of genealogist, Charlie Fleck and her foul mouthed parrot 'The Bosun', Bridie begins her own investigation but when a second body turns up, the motive for the killings seems far from simple. Bridie and Charlie embark on a trip deep into the past to unearth as secret buried in medieval times. The murders themselves are linked to one of the darkest tragedies of the preious decade. Will the pair be able to bring the perpetrator to justice before the murderers twisted logic is the cause of yet another death.

Damn' Rebel Bitches takes a totally fresh approach to the history of the Jacobite Rising by telling fascinating stories of the many women caught up in the turbulent events of 1745-46. Many historians have ignored female participation in the '45: this book aims to redress the balance. Drawn from many original documents and letters, the stories that emerge of the women - and their men - are often touching, occasionally light-hearted and always engrossing.

One of the clubs explored in this book is The Calf’s Head Club who celebrated the death of Charles I every year on the 30th January. A book of this nature would also be incomplete without the Earl of Rochester, the Duke of Wharton, Sir Francis Dashwood and Charles II who loved nothing more than a leg of mutton and a whore. In the 18th century the notorious members of the Hell Fire Clubs, the Knights of St. Francis and the Demoniac Club all fornicated around Scotland, England and Ireland. However, out of all the clubs in the 18th century that were in and out of vogue the Beggar’s Benison in the kingdom of Fife had to be the strangest. Their initiation ritual was rather bizarre and for most people unthinkable, to say the least. Norman was born in Edinburgh on the 21st July 1961. At sixteen Norman went into the sheet-metal working industry. He has also worked as a registered silversmith with Edinburgh Assay Office, been bouncer, a tour guide and has lectured on Scottish history. In 2001 he decided to accomplish something more arduous. He studied part time at the Open University for two years then at Edinburgh Napier University full time for four years. Norman’s academic achievements are a certificate in social science, an LLB (Bachelor of Laws) and an MSc in (Business Management). Both degrees inspired Norman to write his first book Scottish Culture and Traditions which was published in 2010 (ISBN 978-1-899820-79-5). His other interests are the restoration of classic motorbikes, cooking, history, and trying to play the violin. He is currently a 5th Dan in Shotokan Karate and has taught adults and children for nearly thirty years.

This book looks at aspects of Glasgow history which have hitherto been ignored or overlooked by most historians - the history of women in the city. Existing histories are the histories of the men who made Glasgow great: the inventors, industrialists, shipbuilders, philosophers and men of medicine. Although every schoolchild knows the legends of St Mungo, no one knows the legend of his mother St Thenew. The strong machismo culture of the west of Scotland has all but obliterated the contribution of women. St Thenew is actually Scotland's first recorded rape victim, battered woman and unmarried mother. From the time of her death in the seventh century until the present day, there is a discernable trail of oppression and violence against women. At the same time there is a history of strong and sustained resistance to persecution, achievement in the face of adversity and moral triumph in the teeth of injustice. This work deals with women, religon and the Reformation, social and political status, the fight for equal rights and the history of the Suffragettes. Because of the nature of the sources, more space is given to women who stood up and stood out - the 16th century "orray woemen" whom the town council could not control, the revolutionary Owenites and those brave women who threw bombs, burned down big houses, and went on hunger strike.
