Scotland's Modern History

Forth Rail Bridge The Persecution after the '45 had ended but Scotland once again suffered - this time at the hands of its greedy landowners during the clearances.  However a new Scotland began to emerge - romanticised by the royal visits of 1822 and 1842. The great age of Scottish enterprise and invention was crowned by the Magnificent Forth Bride (above) and by advancements in communications.

Finally, nearly 200 years after it was lost by the 'parcel of rogues' the Scottish parliament returned.
