During the 20th Century, unarmed Scotland Yard detectives and their uniform counterparts needed to be physically tough and fearless, given the ruthless, armed criminals they confronted. In this thrilling book, the author draws on archival correspondence and first-hand experiences from his contemporaries. â ˜Pat the Catâ ™ was a detective who was awarded a British Empire Medal for gallantry after surviving a fusillade of shots from an escaped convict and was awarded a Bar to the medal, four years later after being severely injured, when thwarting an armed robbery. We learn of police officers who, despite being shot, went on to arrest the gunman, plus the Flying Squad detective who dismantled a ticking IRA bomb, primed to detonate outside Scotland Yard. PC Reggie Grose won a George Medal for rescuing a group, trapped in a building during the Blitz and after wartime service with No. 3 Commando, returned to undertake hazardous duties as an undercover officer with the secretive Ghost Squad. Detective Sergeant Ryland only survived being killed by sticking his thumb between the hammer and the percussion cap of his assailantâ ™s revolver and when an army deserter fired shots at the police, he was caught with the assistance of Police Dog, Rex III and a detectiveâ ™s truncheon. Two officers tackled a mentally deranged axeman on a roof, 50 feet above street level, warding off his attack with a pig-bin lid â “ these and many other tales of outstanding bravery await the reader in the pages of Scotland Yardâ ™s Bravest and Best.

Scotland s North Highlands (Slow Travel) is the latest title in Bradt s series of distinctive, widely acclaimed Slow travel guides to local UK regions. Written by a northern Scotland specialist who edits the award-winning JRNY Travel Magazine, this guidebook provides greater detail than any other to the whole of northern Scotland - roaming far beyond the increasingly popular 516-mile North Coast 500 (NC500) driving route. Coupling a wide, personal selection of places to explore with focused advice on travel practicalities, Scotland s North Highlands (Slow Travel) encourages visitors to adopt a leisurely approach designed to tease out the region s many special qualities - and contribute positively to local communities.In the far northern reaches of Scotland, Sutherland, Caithness and Ross-shire are regions that, by their very nature, demand to be taken slowly. Single-track roads dominate, skirting lochs and winding up and over moorland and mountains carpeted with blanket bog, settlements are few and far between, and you ll often feel outnumbered by sheep as yet another flock ambles across a road leading to a crumbling castle, old fishing port or alluring ancient site. But biding your time is no inconvenience here, not when every corner reveals a yet more staggering view, when remote coastal cliffs throb with the cries of seabirds, or when following a sign down a potholed road leads to an empty cove of sand that shimmers pink and blue in the ever-changing Highlands light.There are no large settlements here - the second-largest town has barely 1,500 inhabitants - so visitors focus very much on the outdoors. Getting into wilderness is joyously easy: within moments of parking your car or stepping out of your B B, you re striding among scenery so enchanting and dramatic it feels like it s been conjured up by someone s imagination. Whether you crave clambering over rocks to discover secret beaches, watching dolphins leap, kayaking to uninhabited islands or trekking to the UK s highest waterfall, northern Scotland is the kind of place that gets its teeth into you - a place that people return to again and again. Just the place, indeed, for Bradt s Scotland s North Highlands to provide the perfect travelling companion.

Today the Northeast of Scotland is the picture of peace and tranquillity. Some of the highest quality agricultural land is to be found here. But it was not always like this. Although the area lacks the scenic grandeur and dramatic mountains found elsewhere in Scotland, the record of the rocks here bear witness to countless apocalyptic geological events that helped to shape the landscape we see today.The area is bounded to the south by The Highland Line, which played a key role in the assembly of Scotland from a collection of previously unrelated continental fragments 420 million years ago. In more recent times, the land that became Northeast Scotland was covered by desert sands. Primitive lizard-like reptiles roamed the parched plains, leaving their footprints in the sand and impressions of their bones as trace fossils embedded in the rock. The landscape was shaped into its current distinctive form in more recent geological times by the passage of ice.Written for the non-expert and including stunning photographs and diagrams, this is the essential introduction to the geology and landforms of this fascinating part of Scotland.

Terry Pratchett An impressive folkloric travel guide Times Literary Supplement Scotland s rich past and varied landscape have inspired an extraordinary array of legends and beliefs. In The Lore of Scotland, Jennifer Westwood and Sophia Kingshill bring together many of the finest and most intriguing: stories of heroes and bloody feuds, tales of giants, fairies, and witches, and accounts of local customs and traditions. Their range extends right across the country, from the Borders with their haunting ballads, via Glasgow, site of St Mungo s miracles, to the fateful battlefield of Culloden, and finally to the Shetlands, home of the seal-people. More than simply retelling these stories, The Lore of Scotland explores their origins, showing how and when they arose and investigating what basis - if any - they have in historical fact. In the process, it uncovers the events that inspired Shakespeare s Macbeth, probes the claim that Mary King s Close is the most haunted street in Edinburgh, and examines the surprising truth behind the fame of the MacCrimmons, Skye s unsurpassed bagpipers. Moreover, it reveals how generations of Picts, Vikings, Celtic saints and Presbyterian reformers shaped the myriad tales that still circulate, and, from across the country, it gathers together legends of such renowned figures as Sir William Wallace, St Columba, and the great warrior Fingal. The result is a thrilling journey through Scotland s legendary past and an endlessly fascinating account of the traditions and beliefs that play such an important role in its heritage. This is a well researched book exploring the rich folklore of Scotland ... The breadth and range of this book is wide ... Amusing and erudite, it s also an excellent guide to local variations in Scottish culture.

• 150 striking colour photographs • Expert text explains the fascinating stories behind each castle • Wide selection of entries from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the Isle of Man Some of the most romantic castles in the world are found in the Celtic nations on the northwestern fringes of Europe. These strongholds may now largely be ruined, but in their dilapidation they have gained an air of mystery and beauty. The people they once protected are gone, the borders they guarded have dissolved, the fragile communities and wooden buildings that built up around them have been dismantled. Only the castles, centuries on, remain – proof of how robustly they were constructed in the first place. From the tip of southern Ireland to northern Scotland, from castles maintained over the centuries to ones that are now mere ruins, Castles of Scotland, Ireland Wales celebrates the stories behind more than 100 strongholds. In these we find tales of religious dissent, of English Parliamentarians attacking Irish Catholic refuges, of warring Scottish clans, of the Welsh fighting for independence. And in the buildings we find such curiosities as Britain’s only triangular castle or the hiding place for the Scottish crown jewels. With 150 outstanding colour photographs, Castles of Scotland, Ireland Wales is a brilliant pictorial examination of worlds gone by.

In the nineteenth century, Scotland was renowned as a land of misty glens, engineering innovation and inventive genius. But it was also the home of brutal murder, terrifying riots, cruelty to children, bank robbery and acid attacks. Women as well as men were capable of horrendous acts, and crime could strike anywhere: at home, on the road and even at sea. Edinburgh, with its reputation for polite decorum, was also the scene of poisoning and savagery; the dark streets of industrial Glasgow and Dundee harboured thieves and muggers; and the villages of coast and country hid wild men and vicious women.Bloody Scotland exposes some of the crimes, both remembered and forgotten, that rocked Scotland in those lawless times and reveals not only the criminals who perpetrated them, but also the law enforcers who fought hard to maintain order against a rising tide of crime.

Class 43 locomotives were introduced to British Rail from 1976 onwards and eventually numbered 197 in total. In Scotland, they were initially allocated to Craigentinny Depot in Edinburgh and later to Inverness and in recent years to Cadder Depot, near Glasgow. They became known as High Speed Trains, or HSTs, and initially ran on the east coast route between Edinburgh and London Kingâ ™s Cross. In later years, the fleet spread their wings to many other parts of Scotland and even worked charters to Fort William and Stranraer. A number of the locos were also upgraded at Crewe Works in the mid-1990s and re-fitted with Mirrlees Blackstone engines which were more environmentally friendly. This book documents the class from the late 1970s in the BR era through to privatisation and beyond. These locos have performed reliably and worked all over Scotland, and some are now preserved at various heritage lines throughout the United Kingdom.With a wealth of previously unpublished images, this book will delight Scottish rail enthusiasts both young and old.

The story of Scotlandâ ™s castles is woven into the history of the country. These formidable structures have guarded the landscape since medieval times, and many of these structures are famous emblems of Scotland today. The royal castles in the strategically important cities of Edinburgh and Stirling still dominate their surroundings, but many others stand proud in more remote areas, often by lochs or the sea, on islands or in the mountains. Many simpler fortified structures were built along the border with England, and as the centuries passed many castles in Scotland were converted into country houses or even new houses were built in the style of castles. Today these iconic structures draw visitors from far and wide to explore a unique part of Scotlandâ ™s heritage. This fascinating portrait of the castles of Scotland will appeal to all those who wish to know more about the history of the country as well as those interested in the story of its castles.
