Pop Web site in new window   Electric Scotland: Scottish History
It’s not the infamous wedding dance (that’s the Electric Slide); it’s an ultra-informative encyclopedia of Scottish history. Learn of everything from superstitions (beware the kelpie!), bards, battles, and literature.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Medieval Scotland
Care to joust, m’lord? From genealogy to literature, clans, and clothing, this site is the perfect source for resources on Medieval Scotland, including modern-day museums and libraries.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Robert the Bruce, King of Scots
The infamous King Robert the Bruce saved Scotland from English tyranny and returned the Stone of Scone to its rightful place. Read up on this martyr’s achievements at this dedicated site, with lots of images (from the past and from recent portrayals, such as "Braveheart").
 
Pop Web site in new window   Scottish History Magazine
Take a stroll through centuries of Scottish history with this look at the country’s origins, battles, massacres, and civil feuds. The highland-lowland clash has definite Hatfield-McCoy overtones!
 
Pop Web site in new window   Dalriada Celtic Heritage Trust
The Dalriada enthusiastically endeavors to keep ancient Celtic traditions and culture alive, with a quarterly journal, weekly newsletter, and archive.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Democracy in Chains
Politics is best avoided in polite discourse, so judge this one for yourself. The Scottish National Party shows its displeasure with the UK with news, views, and historical perspective.
 
Pop Web site in new window   The Scot Files
The characters from this archive of historical articles seem like they stepped out of the pages of Grimm’s. George “The Garb” King and James “Dog” Corbie are real screen scrollers!
 
Pop Web site in new window   William Wallace - The Truth
This site sets the record straight on the Scot patriot William Wallace, or “Braveheart.” As accurate a bio as you’ll see, you’ll learn that: 1. Wallace liked war paint, 2. there was no grassy knoll.
