View: Mobile | Desktop The Godfrey Edition: Ordnance Survey Maps History of Scotland | Scottish History The history of Scotland is fascinating and complex; there are Roman soldiers, Vikings, noble clansmen, powerful ruling monarchs and even enlightened philosophers. Scotland has experienced extraordinary growth and change during the course of its lifetime - it’s a place that has been invaded and settled many times and that has made mighty contributions to culture and society. Explore thousands of years of people and events with our timeline that highlights some of the most significant moments in Scotland’s fascinating history.

Speaking and listening KS3 | Richard Durant on the renaissance of talk A few years ago I postponed some research into group talk because I couldn't find any. One of the biggest challenges for group talk is getting and keeping all students involved. Another – and complementary – way of involving students en masse is through conscience alley, a technique fully explained in Three ghosts visit Macbeth [Macbeth: Drama approaches]. Group talk is often undermined by group members' perception that the teacher is over-steering their discussion and wants the group to make a particular discovery.
Archives Hub Scottish Art − Collection The National Galleries of Scotland holds the national collection of Scottish art, the most important of its kind in the world. Displays from this are shown across our galleries in Edinburgh, giving a picture of the country’s art from the turn of the sixteenth century to the present day. We work with other museums and galleries locally and internationally to promote the enjoyment of Scottish art as widely as possible and, with the aid of our libraries and archives, actively contribute to and encourage the study of Scottish art. Within our galleries, changing selections from the Scottish collections are shown within a wider international context. We also organise a regular programme of special exhibitions and displays focussing on particular Scottish artists or themes. We have used a broad definition of Scottish art that embraces art and artists with a whole range of differing associations with this country – from the artist’s nationality to the subject matter of the artwork.
