The Origins of whisky from where it started in Europe and the name "Uisge Beatha" water of life to Scotland Distilleries, Tartan every day clothes that were made locally with distinctive colours to a specific pattern.Each clan with their own colours. Origins of Scottish Whisky The Water of Life Alcohol has been around since the Egyptians were building the Pyramids, giving the workers beer and bread to help them through the hot days. Wine has also been known to be in existence for up to 10,000 years through religious scripts. It is not known when Whisky was first made but records of distillation are shown from the 11th century. The first written record of whisky was in 1494. The name whisky originally from the Gaelic "Uisge Beatha", meaning 'water of life'. In 1644 the Scottish Government imposed a tax on whisky and in 1707 after the union of Scotland and England a malt tax was introduced on the 23 June 1725 which caused riots over Scotland, this indirectly increased the cost of making whisky, as malt is the main ingredient. In 1824 George Smith the originator of the Glenlivet whisky was the first to gain a legal licence to distil whisky when the English government introduced a law to legalize the production of whisky. The oldest bottlers of whisky are Cadenhead’s who have been bottling whisky since 1824. Whisky and all alcoholic drinks are restricted to persons of over 18 years and should not be consumed by anyone younger. Tartan Definition of Tartan Official definition of Tartan from the Scottish Register of Tartans Act (2008) Section 2 Section 2: A tartan is a design which is capable of being woven, consisting of two or more alternating coloured stripes which combine vertically and horizontally to form a repeated chequered pattern. The tartan pattern is traditionally known as the sett of the tartan. Below are a number of examples of Scottish Tartans and 2 American, which can be found on the Scottish register of tartans. Pop in to The Edinburgh Clothing Company at 93 South Bridge Edinburgh to see if you can find your Clan Tartan or see www.tartanregister.gov.uk for all tartans registered in the Scottish tartans register a comprehensive list is also available on www.thesotlandkiltcompany.co.uk/clan-shop. Originally Tartan was normal everyday clothing which was made locally to the area you lived. Tartan was seen by the English as a form of uniform, an Act of parliament band the wearing of tartan in 1747, this was the Act of Proscription. This came about due to the Jacobite uprising which ended at the Battle of Culloden 1746. The Act of Proscription was ended by George III in 1782 which allowed highland dress to be worn again after 35 years being outlawed. There are 34 US States with their own tartan.

OLD CALTON GRAVEYARD GATES THE MARTYR’S OBELISK In 1793 members of the Friends of the People, a universal suffrage movement, were brought to trial and deported to Australia. They were charged with treason for attempting to correspond with the French. Their true crime in the eyes of the judges was, they wanted voting rights for all. The men became known as the Chartist Martyrs. Thomas Muir of Hunter’s Hill was their leading figure, and he, along with four others who followed him, were banished to Botany Bay in Australia on 30 August 1793.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN CIVIL WAR MEMORIAL An important part of the graveyard, beside Hume’s tomb, stands Abraham Lincoln. The memorial was erected in 1893. It depicts a standing figure of Abraham Lincoln, with a freed slave giving thanks at his feet. A bronze shield bears the old US flag, and is wreathed in thistles to the left, and cotton to the right. Two regimental flags lay furled, the battle being over. A man holds a book, indicating that he is not only free, he is also now educated. This was the first statue to an American President in any country out with the USA. It is the only statue of Lincoln in Scotland, and the only monument to the American Civil War out with the USA. The monument was erected at American expense and dedicated to a small group of Scots, only one of whom, William Duff, is buried under the monument, the rest are nearby. Lincoln felt indebted, and wished their graves to be marked. They had all fought for the Union (the North) in the American Civil War. The inscription, "To preserve the jewel of liberty in the framework of Freedom" is a quotation from the writings of Abraham Lincoln.

It is linked with the One O’clock Gun at Edinburgh Castle. Professor Charles Piazzi Smyth, the second Astronomer Royal for Scotland was first to have the idea of the time ball. He had it installed on a mast on Nelson Monument in 1853. The ball on the mast rises every day at 5 minutes before 1p.m. (13.00hrs) not on Sunday. THE TIME BALL CALTON HILL EDINBURGH The Time Ball on the mast of Nelson’s monument was originally a visual aid for the sailors in the Leith port and the Firth of Forth to set their chronometers by. Later due to the regular bad weather in Edinburgh it was decided that an audio aid would also be required and the Time Ball was attached to a steel cable over 4000 feet long and 240 feet in the air in 1861, which was attached to a clock in the Edinburgh Castle which set the gun to fire from the half-moon battery, is still synchronised with the One O’clock Gun to this day. The ball will rise up the mast just before 13.00 hours and at one o’clock will return to the foot of the mast as the gun on the castle ramparts will be fired. Frederick James Ritchie clock maker of the One O’clock Gun lived at 6 Brunton Place at the foot of the Calton Hill.

Old Royal High School The Royal High School Building temporary housed Parliament while the present Parliament building was under construction. The original site of the school was at Holyrood Abbey in 1128 and is said to have been the oldest school in the world. Iwas for a short time in Cardinal Beaton’s Palace before iIt moved to the Blackfriars Monastery in 1578 which was at the foot of Infirmary Street, also known as High School Yards and then to Regent Road. John Campbell, Viscount Glenorchy Grand Master Mason for Scotland laid the foundation Stone on the 28th July 1825 for the new Royal High School building on Calton Hill. The New High School Building officially open on 23 June in 1829. The building is 400ft in length and is modelled on the Doric temple dedicated to Hephaestus (god of fire and metalworking) in Athens. It is the finest Greek revival building in the UK. The High School moved premises to a modern campus in 1968 near Cramond. The High School and the University of Edinburgh were the main places of learning and were known worldwide.

Robert Burns died at the age of 37 and is the nation’s most famous poet. He was inspired by Robert Fergusson, at the time the royal poet. Fergusson’s statue stands outside the Canongate Kirk gates. Burn’s Memorial was built in 1831 and erected in 1839 to house a marble statue of Robert Burns. The statue is now in the National Portrait Gallery in Queen Street. Arthur Seat Attractions Arthur Seat in Gaelic was originally pronounced ARD- NA –SAID. It was a volcano that has shaped the land of Edinburgh for over 1000 years. Arthur Seat rises above the city to a height of 822 feet and provides excellent panoramic views of the city. It is a favourite place for visitors to climb as it is relatively easy to climb and is popular for hill walking. You can climb Arthur Seat from almost any direction. The easiest is from the east. Enter at Duddingston gates where there are steps for the first part then a grassy slope rises above Dunsapie Loch to the summit. The Radical Road is a footpath which will take you along the top of the slope immediately under Salisbury Crags which has long been a popular walk, giving a view over the city. It became known as the Radical Road after it was paved in the aftermath of the Radical War of 1820. The beacon was erected at the top of the hill in 1688. Arthur’s Seat also has a particular significance to the history of the Church of the Latter-Day Saints as this is where the nation of Scotland was dedicated in 1840 for the preaching of the gospel. The apostle Orson Pratt of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The Mormons) arrived in Scotland in early 1840 and climbed the hill to pray to god for more converts. There is a road that runs around the hill and you can see the three lochs. Jacob’s Ladder Jacob’s Ladder is a short cut between the Royal Mile and Calton Hill. Jacob's Ladder is a staircase and path that leads from Calton Road at the foot of New Street up the hill to Regent Road, a direct route from the Canongate to Calton Hill. The steps are next to Burns memorial and there are further steps to the top of Calton hill on the far side of Regent Road Edinburgh. New Street New Street or Young Street as it was first named after Dr Thomas Young who owned the Land. The access at the Canongate was private with chains and locks to prevent unwanted visitors to the street. David Dalrymple 1726-1792, (Lord Hailes) a prominent Scottish judge resided in a house he built at 23 New Street in Edinburgh around 1780, his main residence was in Musselburgh. Several other figures of the Scottish Enlightenment also lived in New Street as the Canongate was a popular place with the wealthy gents of the time.. In 1786 it was deemed a public street but was still chained until 1819 when the chains were taken away and access was available to all from the Canongate to Back of the Canongate North or now Calton Road. At the foot of New Street is a Doorway (Jacob’s ladder) to steps that will take you to Regent Road close to the Burns Memorial and the Calton Hill.

Leith (Leytht) Wynd | Cranston Street Edinburgh Leith Wynd or Leytht Wynd (1514) was a road that started on the North Side of the Nether Bow Gate at what is Cranston Street and continued to the back of the Canongate (Calton Road) near to the entrance of Waverley Station on Calton Road and was used by the coaches to London. I have included Leith Wynd in the Closes of the Royal Mile as I felt that it gives an idea of how difficult it was to get into Edinburgh prior to the New Town and the draining of the Nor’ Loch. From the Head of the Canongate Leith Wynd travelled down to the foot of Calton Hill then west around the Calton Hill to joint Leith Street. Cranston Street was named in 1874 after Robert Cranston the councillor of the Canongate at that time. His son Robert became Lord Provost in 1891. The northern half of the street disappeared when Waverley Station goods yard and East Market Street were built circa 1850. The Canongate Christian Institute 2 Cranston Street, Edinburgh, was a Christian mission opening circa 1878. This was a place of worship for the old town. It held gospel meetings and services until its closure in 1930. The White Horse Inn The White Horse Inn (Boyd’s Inn) is the oldest Inn in the Canongate Edinburgh with the stables at the rear with entry from Gullan’s Close for passengers. The coaches and horses entered from Boyd’s Entry a short distance down St Mary’s Wynd, Boyd’s Inn now known as The White Horse Inn, was the starting point of the long journey by coach to London, 13 days. It was also the main dropping off point for the coaches from London. The White Horse Inn was also the place that runaway couples from England came to be married and many weddings were carried out here. The White Horse Inn consisted of a house for entertainment, stables for over 100 horses and sheds for over 20 carriages and rooms for the guests. This was the first 5 star lodging in Edinburgh the proprietor being James Boyd. James Boyd the Innkeeper was a gambler and was about to lose everything when he had good fortune with a run of winnings on a white Horse hence where the name The White Horse Inn derived James Boyd Sold the White Horse Inn in 1776 to retire. Gullan’s Close Gullan’s Close at the side of the White Horse Inn was the fourth close on the south side of the Canongate prior to 1869 when the first three closes of the Canongate were demolished under the improvement Act of 1867 replaced by a tenement. Gullan’s Close (named after James Gullan) led to the Stables where the coaches and Horses for the London coach journey where stabled. (100 horses and 20 carriages). Above were the rooms and living area, plus a room for the marriages. Nether Bow There were walls around the city of Edinburgh with gates known as Ports, 6 in all. The Nether Bow was the most important gateway as it stood at the foot of the High Street. The port (Gate) access to and from the Canongate, which was at that time a separate Burgh. The walls were built originally for defence against invading armies into Edinburgh after 1513 the battle of Flodden. The Nether Bow, was rebuilt many times, the last time it was rebuilt was in 1606.

High sight it is, and haughty, while They dive into the deep defile; Beneath the cavern’d cliff they fall, Beneath the castle’s airy wall. By rock, by oak, by Hawthorn tree, Troop after troop are disappearing; Troop after troop their banners rearing Upon the eastern bank you see. Still pouring down the rocky glen, Where flows the sullen Till, And rising from the dim-wood glen, Standards on standards, men on men, In slow procession still, And sweeping o’er the Gothic arch, And pressing on in ceaseless march, To gain the opposing hill.
