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.

Corstorphine Village was a small area outside Edinburgh on the way to Glasgow and was surrounded in marsh and lochs. With a castle and a few houses achurch Tavern and school. A light would shine at night from the church. A boat was needed as the most direct way to Edinburgh. Corstorphine Village The first noted owners of the lands were Thomas de Marshal and Robert de la Roche in 1296. The Forrester family were associated with the Corstorphine area for over 300 years circa 1377 – 1698 when sold to the Wallace family. It was then sold to the Dick’s of Prestonfield a wealthy and powerful family that owned lands all over. Corstorphine was named the Barony of Corstorphine in 1431. There is still remnants of where the Forrester’s lived in a dovecot, which belong to the Castle. No remains of the castle are left to be seen. The Castle was surrounded to the south and east by Corstorphine loch and residents would have to use a boat to get supplies from Colt bridge area. The area around Corstorphine was flat with lochs and marshland and was used for grazing cattle and sheep, which gave the area the notable first mentions of the drink Corstorphine Cream circa 1740. Corstorphine was the first place the making of cream had been heard of. In the Corstorphine Kirk is a tomb and effigies of Sir John Forrester and his first wife Jean Sinclair and Marian Stewart his 2nd wife from circa 1445. Corstorphine became a part of Edinburgh in 1920. Corstorphine Do’cot This is a fine example of a Do’cot which served the main house or castle with fresh meat and eggs. The young pigeons would be eaten as they were the best meat. This Do’cot had over 1000 nesting boxes. Corstorphine Castle was the home of the Forrester family, Lairds of Corstorphine from 1376 – 1698. The Castle was destroyed and finally demolished in 1797 when a horde of god was found. The Do’cot is all that remains of the Castle buildings. Old Corstorphine Village Parish Church Old Corstorphine Parish Church is one of the oldest churches in Edinburgh with history going back to 1380 when a chancel was first built of which parts still remain. The first Chapel in Corstorphine was linked to the Abbey of Holyrood in 1128. The chapel is no more and the present Chapel which was enlarged in 1429 in the form of a Jerusalem Cross is on the same site. In the Church is the founder’s tomb Sir John Forrester. Also tombs of his two sons John and Alexander. In 1589 Corstorphine church became a parish church with its first minister being John Nimmill. There are stain glass windows which are of biblical scenes and other relics of ancient heritage. Gibson’s Lodge (Dower House) Corstorphine Heritage Centre The Dower House is found in St Margaret’s Park in the centre of Old Corstorphine Village. The park area previously being a market garden. The Dower House of the Forrester family was built circa 1665. Corstorphine Heritage Centre Corstorphine Physic Well The Physic Well in Corstorphine in the eighteenth century was renowned for its medicinal waters. This well was on the southside of the Stank burn & some 40 yards east of this spot. Where its wellhead was rebuilt in 1972 when the burn was culverted. The well was at its height of use circa 1740 when a wealthy merchant built a hotel for the travellers who came to drink from the well at it was said to have powers to cure many ailments.
