The parliament, which is also referred to as the Estates of Scotland, the Community of the Realm, the Three Estates (Scots:Thrie Estaitis), the Scots Parliament, or the auld Scots Parliament (English: old), met until prorogued sine die at the time of the Acts of Union in 1707. Thereafter the Parliament of Great Britain operated for both England and Scotland, thus creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
The pre-Union parliament was long portrayed as a constitutionally defective body that acted merely as a rubber stamp for royal decisions, but research during the early 21st century has found that it played an active role in Scottish affairs, and was sometimes a thorn in the side of the Scottish crown.
Whithorn was first known (in Latin) as Candida Casa. 'Whithorn' is a modern form of the Anglo-Saxon version of this name, Hwit Ærn, 'white house'. In Gallovidian Gaelic, it was called Rosnat, or Futarna, the latter a version of the Anglo-Saxon name (Gaelic has no sound corresponding to English 'wh').
Eighth and twelfth centuries
A monastery and diocese of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria was founded on the site in the 8th century. It was the centre of the revived See of Galloway (or Candida Casa) under the patronage of Fergus, Lord of Galloway and Bishop Gille Aldan from the 12th century. The late-medieval cathedral Whithorn Priory is ruinous, much of it having disappeared completely apart from the much-altered aisleless nave and vaults at the former eastern end which once held the shrine of St. Ninian, one of medieval Scotland's major pilgrimage destinations. A museum in the town contains finds from the site, which has been extensively excavated in recent years. A late-medieval gateway with the arms of the King of Scots leads into the site of the priory, which contains the 19th-century parish church and a museum of carved stones (Historic Scotland). The collection of early medieval stones is one of the largest in Scotland, and includes the country's earliest surviving Christian memorial, the 5th-century inscribed 'Latinus Stone'. The museum layout and display was revised and greatly improved in 2005.
Edinburgh, the country's capital and second-largest city, was the hub of the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which transformed Scotland into one of the commercial, intellectual, and industrial powerhouses of Europe. Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, was once one of the world's leading industrial cities and now lies at the centre of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. Scottish waters consist of a large sector of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, containing the largest oil reserves in the European Union. This has given Aberdeen, the third-largest city in Scotland, the title of Europe's oil capital.
Burnside Avenue is a main thoroughfare connecting East Hartford, Connecticut's Main Street to Manchester, Connecticut. The road is part of U.S. Route 44. It runs through a low income portion of East Hartford and is home to a significant population of Hispanics and African Americans. East Hartford Middle school is located near the center of the avenue and is next to the main campus of Goodwin College. The eastern portion of Burnside Avenue has little housing, but is significantly developed with strip malls and restaurants. The Avenue is home to two important parks in East Hartford. Martin Park in the west has a swimming pool and a skating park along with access to many of East Hartford's bike trails. The east of the avenue has an entrance to Wickham Park, a large private park containing an aviary, bike trails, hiking trails, picnic grounds, and a view of Hartford's skyline.
Before the turn of the 20th century, Burnside was colloquially considered a separate village from the rest of East Hartford. Its rough terrain and proximity to the Hockanum river led to early artifice, so that even before the industrial revolution, it was dominated by paper mills. By 1900, Burnside was developing as a streetcar suburb. Its development prior to Pratt and Whitney (1929) explains its high density relative to the post-war housing so prevalent in the remainder of the town.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 18.7square miles (48.3km²), of which, 18.6square miles (48.2km²) of it is land and 0.1square miles (0.1km²) of it (0.27%) is water. It was incorporated in 1857.
History
In 1700 Isaac Magoon purchased 1,950 acres (7.9km2) of land from then Windham and thus began Scotland’s History. He named the town Scotland as a way of commemorating his ancestral home. Scotland was incorporated in May 1857.
Government
The town still maintains the town meeting as its form of government with a board of selectmen. The town also has eight boards & commissions, including Inlands & Wetlands, Planning & Zoning and Board of Education.
Attractions
Scotland is home to the D'Elia Antique Tool Museum. The museum was built in 2005 and is housed in the same building as the Scotland Public Library. It is the home of over 1200 antique woodworking planes dating back to the mid-18th century. Another attraction is the Samuel Huntington house which located on Huntington Rd or Route 14

Political blooper: MP's Scottish accent baffles British parliamentarian
Members of the British parliament broke into laughter on October 18 when New-Zealand born Tory MP, Paul Beresford, visibly struggled to understand his Scottish colleague who was speaking with an accent.
Beresford initially apologized to Scottish National Party's (SNP) David Linden before asking him to repeat his question. But after a second attempt he sheepishly suggested Linden speak more slowly.
After two failed attempts in the miscommunication, Deputy Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, suggested they resolve the matter by letter.

Whithorn, Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland
Whithorn is Scotland's 'Cradle of Christianity' with the first monastery there founded by St Ninian about 397AD.
We visit the medieval monastic ruins, the Stones Museum and Visitor Centre, and then move to the Isle of Whithorn and St Ninian's Cave on the Solway Firth.

The small square lighthouse was by no means the first stucture here as it sits among the remains of a much much older promontary fort.
Ridge and furrow marks are visible by the fort and the ramparts are clear to see protecting the landward side of the fort. There is evidence of the remains of a 6m roundhouse on the site.

Isle Of Whithorn, March 2023.

at the highest point of isle heads sits the lighthouse
The small square lighthouse was by no means the first stucture here as it sits among the remains of a much much older promontary fort.
Ridge and furrow marks are visible by the fort and the ramparts are clear to see protecting the landward side of the fort. There is evidence of the remains of a 6m roundhouse on the site.
No firm date has been put on the this site but it must date back to the bronze or Iron age
First erected in the 1100s St Ninian's Chapel would have been a stop off for medieval pilgrims on the way to St Ninian's Shrine at Whithorn Priory. The remains here date to about 1300.
The chapel is currently being consolidated to protect it for years to come.
The original chapel, built in the 1100s, stood within a stone enclosure wall, part of which remains today.
A house for a priest and a small burial ground were also possibly built within the wall.
St Ninian who founded the first christian church in Britain is said to have first set foot here on the Isle in the 4th century to begin his mission to convert the Picts to christianity after training in Rome
Another place for pilgrimage nearby is St Ninian's cave 3 miles along the coast to the west, this is suggested as an alternative site for his first landing. He died 3 miles away in Whithorn in 432
For centuries after his arrival the isle would see many travellers and pilgrims on their way to Whithorn, it was easier to travel by sea than by land.
Amongst the buildings along the harbour is the Steam Packet Inn, where they serve exceptional food and beer from their own micro brewery. The steam packet company once ran a regular ferry service between the Isle and Liverpool for cargo and passengers. Some smaller craft would also work from here, with some possibly involved in a bit of smuggling.
In the 19th century the village had trade links with Ireland and the Isle of Man, ships were also being built here as well.
Fishing remains an important part of local life.
The Isle of Whithorn Church, dating back to 1834 and standing on part of the causeway. Head inside to see this fantastic display of local history with old photos and local stories
The white wall of the "Captain's Garden". is one of the village's most distinctive features This is a walled garden that extends out into the harbour
Theres a lot to cover in this beautiful area so look out for more from the channel, and maybe pay a visit yourself.

The unique piece of art was devised by Scottish author, Alexander McCall Smith, who discusses his inspiration.
Former First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, has arrived back at the Scottish Parliament for the first time since she was arrested and released without charge just over a week ago.

Members of the British parliament broke into laughter on October 18 when New-Zealand born Tory MP, Paul Beresford, visibly struggled to understand his Scottish colleague who was speaking with an accent.
Beresford initially apologized to Scottish National Party's (SNP) David Linden before asking him to repeat his question. But after a second attempt he sheepishly suggested Linden speak more slowly.
After two failed attempts in the miscommunication, Deputy Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, suggested they resolve the matter by letter.

Whithorn is Scotland's 'Cradle of Christianity' with the first monastery there founded by St Ninian about 397AD.
We visit the medieval monastic ruins, the Stones Museum and Visitor Centre, and then move to the Isle of Whithorn and St Ninian's Cave on the Solway Firth.
Combine views, free overnight camping, with services, sunrises, sunsets, a pub, wildlife, tragedy, and ancient history; this off the beaten track spot has it all. It's one of our favourites and where I feel so at home.
#isleofwhithorn
The Isle of Whithorn, a fishing village built around a naturally sheltered bay on the tip of the Scottish Machars peninsula
The isle of Whithorn is no longer an Island, 1790 brought harbour improvements which included the building of a causeway, that some of the village is now built on.
at the highest point of isle heads sits the lighthouse
The small square lighthouse was by no means the first stucture here as it sits among the remains of a much much older promontary fort.
Ridge and furrow marks are visible by the fort and the ramparts are clear to see protecting the landward side of the fort. There is evidence of the remains of a 6m roundhouse on the site.
No firm date has been put on the this site but it must date back to the bronze or Iron age
First erected in the 1100s St Ninian's Chapel would have been a stop off for medieval pilgrims on the way to St Ninian's Shrine at Whithorn Priory. The remains here date to about 1300.
The chapel is currently being consolidated to protect it for years to come.
The original chapel, built in the 1100s, stood within a stone enclosure wall, part of which remains today.
A house for a priest and a small burial ground were also possibly built within the wall.
St Ninian who founded the first christian church in Britain is said to have first set foot here on the Isle in the 4th century to begin his mission to convert the Picts to christianity after training in Rome
Another place for pilgrimage nearby is St Ninian's cave 3 miles along the coast to the west, this is suggested as an alternative site for his first landing. He died 3 miles away in Whithorn in 432
For centuries after his arrival the isle would see many travellers and pilgrims on their way to Whithorn, it was easier to travel by sea than by land.
Amongst the buildings along the harbour is the Steam Packet Inn, where they serve exceptional food and beer from their own micro brewery. The steam packet company once ran a regular ferry service between the Isle and Liverpool for cargo and passengers. Some smaller craft would also work from here, with some possibly involved in a bit of smuggling.
In the 19th century the village had trade links with Ireland and the Isle of Man, ships were also being built here as well.
Fishing remains an important part of local life.
The Isle of Whithorn Church, dating back to 1834 and standing on part of the causeway. Head inside to see this fantastic display of local history with old photos and local stories
The white wall of the "Captain's Garden". is one of the village's most distinctive features This is a walled garden that extends out into the harbour
Theres a lot to cover in this beautiful area so look out for more from the channel, and maybe pay a visit yourself.

Isle of Whithorn (Port Rosnait in @ottish_Gaelic_language) is one of the most southerly villages and seaports in Scotland, lying on the coast north east of @rrow_Head, about three miles from @ithorn and about thirteen miles south of @gtown in @mfries_and_Galloway. @ithorn, (Taigh Mhàrtainn in @ottish_Gaelic_language), is a former @yal_burgh in @gtownshire, @mfries_and_Galloway, with which Isle of Whithorn is frequently incorrectly amalgamated or confused. It is referred to locally as 'The Isle' - never 'the Isle of Whithorn'.
