Scotland's History Online 

DateMonday, November 2, 2009 at 2:54PM
The Scottish Government announced last week the launch of an online portal which aims to "raise [the] profile of Scottish history at home and abroad".

Education Secretary Fiona Hyslop said:
Not only will this site be an outstanding resource for pupils and teachers integrated to the new Curriculum for Excellence, it will also help inform all Scots - both at home and abroad - and everyone who shares an interest in learning about our country.

Developed by LTS and the Heritage Education Forum the online resource is said to explore "more than 5,000 years of Scottish history".
Scotland's History Online covers a range of subjects, from prehistoric through to 21st Century Scotland. With more than 200 topics that include links to over 1,000 other online sources and a wide range of interactive supporting materials.

The resource is structured by time periods:

  • Early People (Prehistoric)

  • Caledonians, Picts, Britons and Romans (Ancient)

  • Wars of Independence (Medieval)

  • Medieval life (Medieval)

  • Renaissance, Mary Queen of Scots and the Reformation (Early Modern)

  • Union of the Crowns to Union of Parliaments (Early Modern)

  • Jacobites, the Clearances and Enlightenment (Early Modern)

  • Making of Industrial and urban Scotland (Modern)

  • Scotland in the 20th and 21st centuries (Modern)


I have had a quick look and it looks like a great resource with some amazing images.
