Milestones in Scotland's history
Battle marked a significant part of Scotland's early history
843 AD - Kenneth MacAlpin unites the Scots and Picts as one nation under his rule. This is the first step in creating a united Scotland. - Macbeth slays Duncan to become King of Scotland after Duncan is heavily defeated by the English in battle. In 1054 Malcolm, son of Duncan, is installed by English soldiers but apparently only in Strathclyde and Lothian. Macbeth reigned for 17 years until he was killed at Lumphanan in 1057. - On the death of Edgar, Scotland becomes disunited. Alexander I becomes King of Scots, but David I becomes King in Lothian and Strathclyde. - Unity is restored when, on Alexander's death, David becomes King of Scots. His reign is one of the most important in Scotland's history, extending Scottish borders to the River Tees, including all of Northumberland. David I institutes many administrative changes into Scotland including laws, early schools and gives much Scottish land to his Norman friends. - Annexation of Scotland by England. Edward I invades Scotland. Scotland's Coronation Stone - the "Stone of Destiny" - is taken by Edward I to Westminster Abbey. Scots are killed in thousands by Edward's 30,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry in Berwick and Dunbar.

One of the first things a visitor from the so-called "New World" has to get their head round is the period of time over which Scottish history stretches. For instance, it is possible to visit historical sights and develop an understanding of what life was like in this country 5000 years ago.
For instance where else could you enter a tomb built before the pyramids and burgled by Vikings? Or investigate the scene where a king stabbed an earl to death?
There is a lot to see and do when visiting a Historic Scotland property. Discover the glittering Crown Jewels exhibition and the Stone of Destiny at Edinburgh Castle and enjoy the panoramic views over the Scottish capital. See the hustle and bustle of a medieval kitchen brought to life at Stirling Castle and visit the exhibitions on the castle's history and life in the royal palace.
If you chose to visit Caerlaverock Castle near Dumfries you will see one of Scotland's finest castles. This moated castle was the scene of two famous sieges and has a children's venture park, model siege engine and a nature trail in its grounds.

Brechin Castle stands proud on a massive bluff of rocks above the River Southesk on the site of a much older fortress belonging to the Scottish kings. The present house was last reconstructed in 1711 and incorporates parts of the original Castle dating back to the early 13th century. The building has evolved from a defensive role to its present great house style. Brechin Castle is steeped in history. In 1296 Edward I received the submission of John Baliol there and in 1303 Sir Thomas Maule defended the castle against the English for three weeks until his own death brought about its surrender. In 1646 Patrick Maule, 1st Earl of Panmure, bought the whole of the Brechin Property from the Earl of Mar. The Castle was at that time a simple L shaped house of three storeys. It was the 4th Earl of Panmure, married to Margaret daughter of the 3rd Duke of Hamilton, who eventually rebuilt the Castle as it is today. Lord Dalhousie represents two families who have for many centuries been illustrious in the history of our country, the Maules of Panmure in Angus and the Ramsays of Dalhousie in Midlothian, both families of Norman origin who came to England about the time of the Conqueror, and subsequently obtained grants of land in Scotland.

AT THE DAWN OF SCOTLAND'S HISTORY
There is a sentiment, which announces to all: "We are kin. We are a family." And like any family, we disagree at times on some things, but come together in a crisis. Not much more needs to be said about the Highland clans ... or is there? Mr. E. William Robertson [1862] noted that the feeling of kindred was extremely strong amongst all early Celtic and Teutonic nations, and it was upon this principle that the lands were divided by the tribes. Mr. William Forbes Skene [1837] seems to agree, when he states that "the Highland Clans are not of a different foreign origin, but that they were a part of the original nation, who have inhabited the mountains of Scotland as far back as the memory of man, or the records of history can reach; that they were divided into several great tribes possessing their hereditary chiefs".
Not much is known up to and including the first permanent residents of the land of Ross and Moray. We might surmise that they were seafarers, who did some hunting and fishing and farming around their coastal communities. The evidence of these Neolithic farmers from several thousand years ago exists in the "great communal tombs - the chambered cairns - which served both as places of burial and worship" in an area just west of Tain at Ardvannie and Leachonich near Edderton. The huge upright slabs were arranged in a circle to form an inner chamber into which a long passage led from one side. Over this was raised a great mound of stones and pebbles, bounded by a border of massive boulders at the edge. Despite evidence of plundering by later settlers, the cairn at Ardvannie is over seventy feet across. Other ruins in association with human remains at Culbokie on the Black Isle consist of two concentric stone walls surrounded by a ditch near the small loch.

History Repeating

Back in the 1940's when the box office returns for Universal horror sequels started to slide, the studio decided it would be a wheeze to unite their most successful characters in a new slew of combined sequels. Abominations like Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein were the tragic end result. Unfortunately, just like global conflict, massive economic recession, and the tactical deployment of nuclear weapons the cross-over sequel is another bad idea from the 40s that's threatening to make an unwelcome comeback.
Similarly, having already road tested the concept in a series of comics and video-games 20th Century Fox are exploring the potential of an Aliens vs. Predator movie. Freddy vs. Jason, a Nightmare on Elm Street/Friday the 13th hybrid sequel is also in the works.
The problem with such proposals, aside from the fact that none of them will be troubling the judges come Oscar night, is that the characters being combined appeal to the same demographic. Shoe-horning them into the same movie won't necessarily attract more punters. In fact, wouldn't it be a better idea to make hybrid sequels to utterly dissimilar films? So, just to get the ball rolling, here are a few of my suggestions.

http://www.scottish-towns.co.uk/perthshire/dunning/history.html
Scottish Towns Dunning - History
The name Dunning appears in many forms in various documents throughout the ages: DUNNYNE - DUNYNE - DONYNG - DONYONGE - DINN - DINNIN - DUNYN - DUNING. The prefix DUN referred originally to a fortress or enclosure and later became connected with hill-names.
The old family name of Dunning comes from the village, the founder being Anechal Thane of Dunning, who witnessed the Charter of the Earl of Strathearn setting up the foundation of the Abbey of Inchaffray around 1200. A Robert Dunnyng was seven times Provost of Perth from 1472 to 1492.
The family and the village appear to have parted company as there has been no trace of people named Dunning in the village for the last few centuries.
The Rollo's of Duncrub
King David Bruce died 1371 and was succeeded by Robert the Stewart of Scotland and Earl of Strathearn.
John de Rollo obtained from that Prince a charter, dated at Methven 14th February 1380-1, confirming the grant formally given to him de terris de Findony, cum "parte de Dunyn, et de terris de Drumcroube et de "Ladcathy" (that is, of the lands of Findony, with part of Dunning and of the lands of Duncrub and Ledketty).
