History Of Scotland.  The history of Scotland begins around 14.000 years ago. Humans inhabited Scotland after the end of the Devensian glaciation, which is known as the last ice age. The recorded history of Scotland began with the arrival of the Roman Empire in Birtain, when the Romans occupied what is now broadly England and Wales and the Scottish Lowlands, administering it as a Roman province called Britannia. As knowledge of the past increases, it has become clear that some developments were earlier and more advanced than thought, and that the seaways were very important to Scottish history. In the 5th century, Celtic immigrants from Ireland, called Scots, settled at the north of the Cylde. In the 10th century, the land became known as Scotland. After the Normans conquered England in 1066, many Anglo-Saxons from England settled in the Lowlands of Scotland. Thus, the Scots gradually adopted English ways. The last great battle in the war for independence was foughtin 1314 at Bannockburn near Stirling Castle. Robert the Bruce inflicted a disastrous defeat on superior English forces led by Edward II. In 1328, Edward III formally recognized Scotland’s independence.Scotland now had ffree trade with England and the colonies. Scotland shared in the inventions that brought about the Industrial Revolution and in the wealth that flowed in Britain from it. From the end of the 18th century, the history of Scotland merges with the rest of the United Kingdom. |
