Migration and Empire - problems faced by scots abroad
While some Scottish emigrants were able to build successful new lives abroad between 1830-1939, many others faced significant difficulties and problems. These problems included business failures, unemployment, poor quality land that was difficult to farm, loneliness and isolation, conflicts with native peoples over land and resources that sometimes led to violence, poor weather conditions, difficult journeys, and broken promises of higher wages. Reasons for these struggles included competition, different climates than Scotland, a lack of infrastructure and communities in remote areas, and tensions with native groups over holy sites and traditional hunting grounds.

Celts Of Scotland
The Scottish Celts arrived in Scotland around 700 BC, settling in the northeastern region of Ireland and the western Highlands of Scotland. There is no archaeological evidence of their migration from Ireland to Scotland. Over time, the Celts came to dominate the native Picts and became the dominant culture in Scotland. The Celts faced enemies from the Picts in the north, Angles in the east, and Britons in the south. They also battled the English for many years. The Celts kept oral histories while the Romans recorded the Celts' wars and battles. Eventually, the Picts united with the Scots after growing weak from fighting. When the Celts settled in Scotland, they formed clans based

Jewish people immigrated to Scotland in the 1800s-1900s for several reasons: they faced religious persecution in parts of Europe and sought a safer place to live; many wished to travel to America but could not afford the full journey so came to Scotland first to earn money; Scotland was seen as safer than other parts of Europe at the time. Many Jewish immigrants settled in impoverished areas of Glasgow like the Gorbals due to low rent costs and proximity to the city center. They initially worked in industries like tailoring or as peddlers but later opened their own shops and businesses. While they faced some discrimination, it was less than other groups due to anti-Catholic views and being a small population. However,

Italian immigrants came to Scotland in the 1800s-1900s primarily to escape poverty in Italy, with many eventually planning to travel to America. They mostly settled in Glasgow, where they lived in poor housing at first but later opened shops and restaurants as their businesses succeeded. While Italians maintained their own communities and culture, they generally did not face strong opposition from Scots due to their smaller numbers and entrepreneurship, though some Scots disliked their Sunday business hours or lack of integration during World War II when Italy allied with Germany.

The document discusses various push factors that led to large-scale emigration from the Scottish Highlands between the 1800s-1900s. It identifies overpopulation and subdivision of farmland as causing farms to be too small to support families. Farming was difficult due to poor soil quality and harsh climate. The potato famine further exacerbated food insecurity. Alternative industries like kelp and fishing collapsed leaving few jobs. Highlanders suffered from poverty, poor housing conditions, and isolation. Finally, the Highland Clearances forced many from their homes so the land could be used for more profitable sheep farming and hunting, with some forcibly evicted and their homes burned.
Scottish Wars of Independence - reasons scots lost at falkirk
The document discusses the reasons for the Scots' defeat at the Battle of Falkirk during the Scottish Wars of Independence. It states that the Scottish cavalry left the battle early after being charged by English knights, leaving the Scottish army defenceless. Additionally, the Scottish leadership and tactics were less effective than at the previous Battle of Stirling Bridge, and the English army was larger, more organized, and led by the skilled King Edward.
Migration and Empire - why did the scots go?
During the 1800s and early 1900s, many Scots faced extreme poverty, unemployment, and poor living conditions due to factors such as the Industrial Revolution and foreign competition destroying traditional jobs. As a result, thousands of Scots emigrated to places like Canada, Australia, and the United States in search of better economic opportunities like owning land cheaply or finding stable employment with higher wages. In addition to poverty, some Scots moved overseas as missionaries hoping to spread Christianity to other parts of the British Empire. Government programs, charities, and colonial authorities helped fund migration for those who could not otherwise afford to travel abroad.

Large numbers of Irish Catholic immigrants arrived in Scotland during the 1800s-1900s, mainly settling in western coastal areas where jobs were available in industries like factories, mining, and shipbuilding. Many fled poverty and famine in Ireland. They faced poor housing conditions and discrimination from Protestant Scots, who opposed their religion and blamed them for lower wages. However, the Catholic Church provided social and charitable support. Over time, as Irish immigrants integrated and fought alongside Scots in World War I, relations generally improved.

Learning the best of england english lesson
This English lesson discusses places to visit in England. It begins by explaining that England is a special country with a long history across ancient cities, palaces, and sites. As one of the best things about England, its small size allows for day trips around the UK to visit other historic towns and cities. Popular places for visitors to see include London, with world-class museums; the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace specifically. Other recommended destinations are Bath with its Georgian architecture, Oxford and Cambridge for their famous universities, beaches in Blackpool, Scarborough and Brighton, Cornwall's former fishing villages, and York with its medieval walls and York Minster church.
Sworders Annual Review 2019
Chairman’s Introduction
Welcome to Sworders’ 2019 newsletter, where we review another eventful year and look forward to what we hope will be an equally eventful 2020.
The year began with the first of two house contents sales, the Collection of Barbara Holliday, removed from ‘The Gales’ in the far, far north west of Cumbria. Mrs Holliday’s particular passion was for the work of late 20th century Royal Academicians. The auction met with an enthusiastic response, a 95% sold rate and was led by works by Mary Fedden and Cumbrian artist Sheila Fell.
The summer brought the contents of Alderley House from Gloucestershire, a quintessentially Cotswold manor house, recently furnished in the English country house style. On offer were the extensive contents, ranging from
a grand piano to a clay pigeon launcher.
In March we opened our London Gallery in Cecil Court, on the edge of Covent Garden; this proved an invaluable asset during our successful Asian Art Auction, which was viewed entirely from there during the week prior to auction.
I am also delighted to have been able to recruit several leading and impressive new members of staff, including Luke Macdonald and Stephen Giles.
Next year begins with the John Barnett Collection of Scales, an exciting new season of 20th Century auctions and the ever-extraordinary Out of the Ordinary auction in February.
Thank you for your much-valued support throughout the year. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible during 2020.
