Dark Thoughts From the Middle Years. One morning in August 2007, William Leith wakes up and realises that something is wrong. He is not in a bed, but on an old mattress on the floor.

My only hope is that all the new members can also learn and enjoy from this team the way I have. Uechiryu, as well as the rest of the Martial...

This 1887 volume is to a considerable extent a reprint of Sir Andrew Leith Hay's "Castellated Architecture of Aberdeenshire," published in 1849. The aim, throughout, has been to present, in brief compass, the more interesting points connected with the various centres of influence and action in a district peculiarly rich in historic associations. Around not a few of these old castles have gathered the forces on the issues of whose warfare the fortunes of families, and even the fate of dynasties, have turned. The wars of Robert Bruce, of Queen Mary, and of the Covenanters, had several of their...
