Originally published in 1913, this early work contains a fascinating and detailed account of Sir Robert Falcon Scott's journey to the South Pole. Offering a complete collection of Scott's diary entries from his last expedition, this book is unparalleled in its insight and detail. It constitutes a must-read for anyone interested in this famous explorative journey. Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868 - 1912) was an explorer and officer in the British Royal Navy. He famously captained two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the 'Discovery Expedition' of 1901, and the infamous 'Terra Nova Expedition' of 1910. Sir James Matthew Barrie 1860 - 1937) was a Scottish dramatist and author, best remembered for being the creator of "Peter Pan". Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Victorian 'Railway Mania' changed Britain forever as an 'iron road' complete with tunnels, bridges, viaducts and stations marched inexorably across the country. Railway structures began to dominate the landscape. A number of which took hold in the peoples imagination reaching 'iconic' status as pleasing to the eye or a testament to mans engineering brilliance. Inevitably over time some of these became redundant and decisions taken to close and demolish sparked public protest.Scotland's Railway Icons will not only celebrate the surviving Icons north of the border but also include those, which were repurposed, abandoned, or bulldozed, showcasing all that The Highlands has to offer.
Victorian 'Railway Mania' changed Britain forever as an 'iron road' complete with tunnels, bridges, viaducts and stations marched inexorably across the country. Railway structures began to dominate the landscape. A number of which took hold in the peoples imagination reaching 'iconic' status as pleasing to the eye or a testament to mans engineering brilliance. Inevitably over time some of these became redundant and decisions taken to close and demolish sparked public protest. Scotland's Railway Icons will not only celebrate the surviving Icons north of the border but also include those, which were repurposed, abandoned, or bulldozed, showcasing all that Eastern Scotland has to offer.
Before the age of the lighthouse Scotland’s untamed seas and perilous rocky coast too often witnessed the watery end to the mariner’s voyage. From its establishment in 1786, it was the remit of the Northern Lighthouse Board to tame these harsh seas with the building of guiding lights around Scotland’s rugged coast ‘For the Safety of All’. The history of Scotland’s lighthouses would be dominated by one family of engineers. For its first 150 years, the NLB would be shaped by four generations of the Stevenson family as lighthouse builders, innovators and inventors. From humble beginnings at Kinnaird Head, this family would perfect the engineering marvels of the Bell Rock and Skerryvore, and pioneer wireless technologies into the modern age. The lighthouse story is also one of habitation on the Stevensons’ creations on the extremities of civilisation as the light-keepers, and their families, lived and served on the wind-battered terrain of Scotland’s edge. It was a story of survival, a unique way of life, which came and went within the pages of this history. The technological breakthroughs which began with the Stevensons advanced to automation and the end of the light-keeper. Nowadays the lights still flash, but there’s nobody there.
A fantastic array of previously unpublished photographs of Scottish railways in the 1970s and 1980s.
In the 1950s there were still train services to most parts of the country, and steam was everywhere. Many of the locomotive types used in Scotland never ventured south of the border. So from 1952 Brian Morrison set out to record every locomotive class that existed there. This was eventually completed in 1958 when one of the post-Grouping developments of the Caledonian Railway's 439 class 0-4-4Ts was identified in Glasgow St Enoch station. This highly illustrated album therefore includes at least one example of every type of steam locomotive to be seen in Scotland during the 1950s, except for a couple that were cut very early in the decade. The reader is taken from Edinburgh up the East Coast via Dunfermline and Thornton Junction, then across to Inverness and Kyle of Lochalsh and back through Aviemore, Perth, Stirling and Glasgow to Kilmarnock and Dumfies, with many stops in between.
With an introduction by Jayne Anne PhillipsShortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction, a novel inspired by the shocking true story of the Scottsboro boys.Even after all these years, the injustice still stuns. Innocent boys sentenced to die, not for a crime they did not commit, but for a crime that never occurred. Lives splintered as casually as wood being hacked for kindling.Alabama, 1931. A freight train is stopped in Scottsboro, nine black youths are brutally arrested and, within minutes, the cry of rape goes up from two white girls. In the shocking aftermath, one sticks to her story whilst the other keeps changing her mind, and an impassioned young journalist must try to save nine boys from the electric chair, one girl from a lie and herself from the clutches of the past . . .Stirring racism, sexism and the politics of a divided America into an explosive brew, Scottsboro gives voice to the victims - black and white - of this infamous case. Shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2009, Ellen Feldman's classic charts a fight for justice during the burgeoning civil-rights movement.

Fun colouring book with the Top 20 best Scottish Pop stars for your coloring pleasure, as drawn by Kev F Sutherland. Welcome to Scotland We're the country that gave you tarmac, Bovril, and marmalade. The country that gave you the telephone, the television, the pneumatic tyre, and the adhesive postage stamp. And, of course, we're the country that gave you these Pop Star Colouring Books (our artist, Kev F Sutherland, was born in Aberdeen). But probably even more important than all of these is the pop music to have come from Scotland.
