The Daily Thistle

The Daily Thistle – News From Scotland

Friday 17th August 2018

"Madainn Mhath” …Fellow Scot, I hope the day brings joy to you…. When I put last Fridays Daily Thistle together, I never expected it to be so popular, so many comments and IM’s plus a vast amount of shares, so I am going to try and emulate last Friday again and see what happens, if it’s just as popular, it will become a regular Friday event, sharing space as required with Archeological Friday, so watch this space….

IN THIS WEEK SIR WALTER SCOTT WAS BORN….  Scottish author and poet Sir Walter Scott was born on 15 August 1771 at College Wynd, Edinburgh. Much of his childhood was marred by ill health, but it was ironically these periods of illness which were to provide him with the inspiration for his later writings. Scott was made lame after contracting polio at the age of two. He was sent to live with his grandparents in the Scottish Borders, where he would gain a love of the countryside and first become aware of a rich tradition of Scottish folk tales. Scott travelled to various spas with his aunt Jenny, in the hope of curing his lameness and during their trips, absorbed her tales of the Borders. It was also whilst staying with his aunt as a teenager that Scott met James and John Ballantyne, who would later become his publishers. Initially Scott faced disapproval from certain sectors of the Borders communities, who believed that local tales should be transmitted only by word of mouth and never written down. However, he went ahead and published 'The Minstelsy of the Scottish Borders', before moving on to a career producing works which would become world famous, including 'Waverley', 'The Bride of Lamermoor' and 'Tales of My Landlord'.

PHILANTHROPIST ANDREW CARNEGIE DIED THIS WEEK…. Steel magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie died on 11 August 1919 of pneumonia. Carnegie was a self-made businessman who emigrated to America from Dunfermline at the age of thirteen. He worked his way up from a factory bobbin boy to become one of the world's richest men and a huge supporter of charities. Carnegie was founder of the Carnegie Steel Company which merged to become US Steel; with his resulting wealth enabling him to create many charitable foundations including the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. In the years leading up to his death, Carnegie had begun to distribute his wealth to good causes, giving away over $350 million to foundations and charities across America, promoting his belief that 'a man who dies rich dies disgraced'. He is buried at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in New York.

KING JAMES II WAS KILLED IN THE SIEGE OF ROXBURGH CASTLE THIS WEEK…. King James II was killed during the siege of Roxburgh Castle on 3 August 1460, whilst trying to take the castle from English hands. James II was a keen devotee of firearms and cannon and was killed when a cannon known as 'the lion', imported from Flanders, exploded. The siege continued after the king's death and the castle, which was one of the last to remain in English hands following the Wars of Independence, fell a few days later. James II was succeeded by his son James III, who was nine years old at the time of his father's death. James II's wife Mary of Guelders acted as regent until her own death in 1463.

JIMMY REID BEGAN A WORK IN AT JOHN BROWNS SHIPYARD…. Workers at the John Brown's Shipyard in Clydebank began a work in under the leadership of Jimmy Reid on 30 July 1971. The work in was announced after the famous shipyard faced liquidation following the collapse of the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders Union which had comprised: John Browns Fairfields Alexander Stephen & Sons Charles Connell & Co Yarrow Shipbuilders The work in allowed the John Brown workers to dispel the image of striking workers being 'work-shy' and allowed the men to complete their contracted work. The shipyard was sold in 1972 and continued to operate under Marathon Oil.

KING JAMES IV DECLARED WAR ON ENGLAND THIS WEEK…. King James IV of Scotland declared war on England after England's King Henry VIII invaded France. James was responding to French pleas for military aid from Scotland and also took the opportunity to try to take revenge for England's seizure of Scottish ships and partial non-payment of the marriage dowry of James's wife Margaret Tudor. After invading Northumbria, the war went badly for James and less than two months later, he was killed at the Battle of Flodden Field - the last British monarch to die in battle.

BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE BEGAN THE JACOBITE RISING THIS WEEK…. Charles Edward Stuart landed at Eriskay with a force of seven men. Charles Edward, who became known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, was on a mission to restore the Stuarts to the throne. Although his invading party was small, he soon gained the assistance of Cameron of Lochiel and with the help of a growing number of Highlanders, was able to raise his standard at Glenfinnan and from there, mount an attack on Edinburgh. Charles Edward Stuart and his army went on to fight at the Battle of Prestonpans in September 1745, defeating a government army and marching further south, gathering thousands of supporters on the way. However, they would face eventual defeat at the Battle of Culloden the following year.
