Amateur History

These pages are about my interest in history. History was a favourite subject of mine at school & has always been something I have been interested in, however at school they didn't really tell us anything about My Countries history. By My Country I mean Scotland.
This instigated a feeling within me to go out & find the information for myself & I have read a lot on the subject since then. I used to contribute articles to an online history website on the internet. This site was run by Americans however & our differing views on My Countries history led to us parting ways. Recently I was searching the net when I discovered one of my articles about Rob Roy. It got me thinking that maybe I could make a website with my history articles, so this is an attempt to do that.
