BANNOCKBURN AND CULLODEN

In a land of one thousand battles, no one battle, or two, are truly definitive. St i l l , historians and bards sing about Blår Allt a'Bháin-chnuic, the Battle of Bannockburn, where Scotland won its freedom from England, and Culloden, where freedom was lost. These two battles thus become the brackets of Scottish history—from the f i rst comes the consolidation of the Scottish Nation under Robert the Bruce, and from the other comes the Clearances and the Scottish Diaspora. Neither picture is a true representation, but both still play their parts in the popular imagination. When home rule was approved in 1997, two hundred and eighty years after the merging of the Parliaments into 'Great Britain' in 1707, it was viewed in many circles as the rebirth of Scotland. Today the modernistic Parliament building sits proudly at the bottom of the Royal Mile, across the street from Holyrood Pa\ace. When we gathered together, all the clans, to march up the Royal Mile for the climax of The Gathering, it was from in front of the Scottish Parliament that we began.

Bannockburn sits just two miles or so from another of the great castles of Scotland, Stirling. As massive as Edinburgh, and as storied, it sits on yet another crag and tail' granitic outcropping. In fact, since the development of the town is far less advanced than that of Edinburgh, the castle, as seen from the M9 as you go by, probably looks much as Edinburgh would have looked in the old days. Both are serious castles!

And what history! Several of the kings of Scotland made Stirling—not Edinburgh—their centre. And not only has it been besieged—and changed hands—at least 16 times, it played its part as a sentry over the f i rst possible crossing of the River Forth (the river that runs in to the Firth of Forth that goes out to the sea past Edinburgh). Perhaps the most interesting story is that of John Damian, James IV's alchemist, who made himself wings with hens feathers and tried to fly to France from Stirling Castle, only to end up in a dung pile below! Recent proponents of the Scottish renaissance— Damien was Italian and a friend of Da Vinci's—now claim that the nearest dung pile was about half a mile away from the castle, which, while not being quite as good as France, was far enough to call the experiment in hang gliding a success—in 1507. Damian survived with only a broken leg and lived on at least until 1513, so the wings must have worked at least a little!

The proximate reasor\ for the Battle of Bannockburn was that 200 years before John Damian's feathery flight, in 1313, Robert the Bruce's brother had laid siege to the English garrison in the castle. While the tale could go all the way back to 1000 AD, this phase really began with the death of Alexander I I I in 1286 from a fall from his horse. His daughter had married the King of Norway, and their daughter, Margaret ('the Maid of Norway') was Alexander's heir. Edward I of England, known as Longshanks for his tall stature, had long coveted an empire that encompassed all of Britain, and saw his chance here. He proposed marriage between Margaret—still 6—to his son Edward, who became Edward I I in 1307. Unfortunately, the Maid of Norway died in the Orkneys on her way back Scotland, leaving an empty throne and fourteen claimants. The Protectors of Scotland decided to ask Edward Longshanks to moderate the succession (what idiot came up with that idea?!? Well, the protectors were half Norman, with estates in England and France, and were English barons to boot...). Most of the activity took pla ce at or near Berwick-upon-Tweed, some 60 miles along the coast to the east of Edinburgh, which at the time was held by the Scots.

Edward reduced the fourteen claimants to two—John Balliol, Lord of Galloway, and Robert Bruce, 5 t h Lord of Annandale, and grandfather of the future king. Balliol got the nod, gave obeisance to Edward as was customary, and promptly made treaties of defense and attack with France and Norway. Edward was unhappy, and attacked. Initially the wars went very badly for the Scots. Then William Wallace, later Sir William, rallied the Scottish for the spectacular victory at Stirling Bridge. Unfortunately, he later lost battles, most notably at Falkirk (about 10 miles east of Stirling on the way to Edinburgh). Wallace was staunchly anti-English, leading to treachery by the Scottish nobility. He was turned over to Edward, who had him drawn and quartered in 1305.

The stage was set for Robert the Bruce—but f i rst Balliol was taken prisoner, the Guardians signed yet another agreement with Edward, and in general, mayhem reined. The Bruce became king in 1306 after yet another murder (by Robert, in an abbey church), and was promptly driven out of Scotland to Rathlin Island off Ireland. But, a year later, he returned, f i rst as a guerilla, and later with armies, taking castle af ter castle back—several of them from his Scottish rivals.

Confused? And that's the short story that leaves out half the twists and turns! Don't worry—it's not important. Sti l l , by 1314 Robert I ('the Bruce') had control of most of the north of Scotland, by which is meant from the Tay (remember Dangerous Dan at Dundee? That's on the Tay) north to Inverness, and across toward the Isles. The rest, like the Isles, was still loosely attached.

Back to the beginning. In late 1313 Edward Bruce, warrior brother to Robert, laid siege to Stirling Castle—then under the command of Sir Philip Moubray for England. In one of those strange stories from the perspective of modern warfare, Moubray and Edward Bruce agreed that if the castle was not relieved by mid-summer 1314, Moubray would surrender the castle. Edward II (much vilified by history) marched north to undertake the relief, confident that his superior force could not only relieve the castle, but if, as he hoped, the Scottish forces decided to meet him in open battle, that he could destroy the Scottish resistance forever. He brought over 20,000 troops with him. The Bruce met him with 6,500—and utterly defeated the invader. Edward ran to the castle, but Moubray, true to his chivalrous word, refused him entrance, forcing Edward and his remnants to flee. Moubray left the castle in Scottish hands, and Scotland became a reality. It took another ten years for legal agreements to be drawn up. A second 'war of independence took twenty five years from 1332—1357, with the same result. Scotland was to have 200 years of relative independence after that, during which it could consolidate what it meant to be Scottish rather than a disparate group of estates and dominions. Scottish law would develop, Scottish institutions would solidify, and a centralized authority would begin to take hold.

Visiting Bannockburn is a bit disconcerting—you are expecting a major national presentation, but the museum has the appearance of a family roadside operation, and the lands themselves are a park with a statue of the Bruce in the center. The area really hasn't changed much since the battle—it still has sheep and farms, and the Burn (stream) runs through it. But the secrets of the battle are in the land—the forests, the ditches, the swamps. Inside, the museum turns out to be very interesting and intimate. While Culloden's visitor centre is modern, cement —cold—Bannockburn's is warm. The battle is laid out and the weapons are shown; there are images of the Bruce, including a reconstruction of him with leprosy of the face (unlikely according to recent evidence http://www. scottish -dermatology. org. uk/Def aul t. asp?Page=23

), as well as displays of the agreements signed ten years later and sent to the Pope. And you can even try on the armor-.

Looking at the battles that constitute the Scottish Wars of Independence we find that the Scottish—Wallace in particular—figured out how to defend against the English cavalry tactics, that is, knights in armor. The movie "Braveheart" shows this use of long pikes combined with the discipline not to run and its devastating ef fect on the Edward's troops. Ten years later the English had figured out how to defeat that at Falkirk with the longbow and artillery. The Welsh longbow was the weapon that decimated the pride of French chivalry at Oécy and Poitiers just a couple decades later. The second key innovation was that knightly fighting had nobles on horses doing brave things, and infantry and other support troops separate—and unled, as though they were unimportant. William Wallace, and then Robert the Bruce changed that, and won at Bannockburn. Edward the Black Prince took the Scots' tactic to France as well. Thus, you can look at what William Wallace employed—a way to defeat knights by well trained common soldiers—as the beginning of the destruction of the feudal system. In its wake came peasant armies, standing armies, and eventually Oliver Cromwell's 'New Model Army', which incidentally, was to

decimate Scotland in 1650 and result in the destruction of any religious artifacts left after Knox's predations

The Battle of Bannockburn is a classic. I t took two days. Both armies had plenty of time to prepare, and both commanders (well, the English commanders were two under Edward I I , who was nominally in charge) executed their strategy. Edward's strategy was to be so overwhelming that the Scots would not fight. The Scots used the ground to deprive the English of their fighting tactics. Bannock Burn (the stream is Bannock Burn, the village there is Bannockburn) runs mainly north up to the River Forth. In the area we are talking about, it is a tidal stream, flooding and emptying twice a day, with an extensive marsh system at the mouth. Away from the Forth is a woodland called the New Park, and this is where the Bruce set himself up, dug killer pits with stakes and ditches and generally prepared the land. The f i rst day, June 23 r d , started well for the overwhelmed Scots. Robert the Bruce was without armor and reviewing his troops when Sir Henry de Bohun recognized him across the field (the Bruce was wearing a crown!). Bohun charged with his lance. The Bruce avoided the lance and crashed his attacker's skull with a battle-ax—to the great excitement, I am sure, of his subjects!

King Edward's 20,000 got bogged down getting over the Burn, not getting all there until the next daybreak (about 4 AM at that time of year)—the supplies never made it. A band of 800 horse—knights and nobles and such led by one of the two commanders, Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucestei—went off toward the castle, but were met by Randolf, Earl of Moray with 500 men with pikes. Gloucester should probably have ignored Moray and gone on to the castle on the Roman Road—there really was nothing stopping him—but he couldn't pass up the opportunity to destroy the pipsqueak Scots. So he attacked. Moray formed his 500, a schiltron, into the famous 'hedgehog' formation (Americans might say porcupine formation), also known as 'the orb' because it was round, all sides bristling with 12 foot spears. The horses reared and backed away. The Bruce sent reinforcements, the English were scattered, and Gloucester was dead. Only one Scotsman was killed that day.

The second day consisted of the Bruce moving his schiltronstoward the English, who were now pinned back against the marshes. They hadn't slept, food was low, the mosquitoes were driving them crazy, and they were grumpy. Their cavalry had no room to maneuver, and little effect on the moving hedgehogs, the archers killed their own men in the close quarters, and the English lost their nerve. The result was slaughter—many by drowning: 700 cavalry and about

11,000 infantry died on the English side, with light casualties on the Scottish side

In some ways the Battle of Bannockburn reminded Dan and I of Gettysburg which we had the privilege of visiting in June. In both battles the key factor was 'mighty good ground' (I'm quoting from "The Killer Angels" by Mike Shaara, the Pulitzer Prize winning book about Gettysburg), the insistence of the losing commander (Lee in the case of Gettysburg) to fight when there were other options, and the discipline of the ordinary troops under terr i f ic attack. Lee's army (under Longstreet's command) attacked up the hill in echelons—and the Bruce used the same tactic with his schiltrons. The mayhem at Gettysburg was bad on all sides, but it spelled the end of the South. The mayhem at Bannockburn was one sided, and it spelled the victory of the Scots.

Moving forward four hundred years brings us to Culloden (1746). This battlefield is about ten miles to the west of Inverness, and has an amazing interpretive center. Guided tours of the battlefield itself are given every hour or so. We were there on a grey, scudding day, with periodic tears from the sky and a quick, chill wind. They have put up flags over here to show the Jacobite troops, and over there to show the government troops. These are long straight lines extending over the plain.

This battle was over in an hour with the Prince's forces suffering 1,250 dead, about the same wounded, and 375 prisoners, while the government troops lost 50 dead and 300 wounded. Prince Charlie was forced to retire .

He eventually spent five months in the western isles and escaped to France and Italy, where he continued to plot and drink heavily. The Jacobite movement was dead, and Britain had fought its last pitched battle on native soil.

Bonnie Prince Charlie was the grandson of the last Jacobite king of Britain (James II) and the son of the "the Old Pretender." When he landed on Eriskay of the Outer Hebrides in 1745 (hence the term, "the '45"), he seemed charmed. He immediately raised an army—more exactly he accreted an army as he successfully took over territory—and in the space of two months he was able to establish the beginnings of a government in Edinburgh. His support came from several directions—those who were Catholic clearly supported him, as British law continued to outlaw (gently by then) Catholic practice.

Episcopalians (not the Americans, but those who believed in a high church) also rallied to the cause for similar reasons. There were many—mostly from the highlands—who fought for the Scottishness of the Prince, although he was a far cry from Scottish by now. His last real Scottish relation had been James IV who quit Scotland in 1603, a hundred forty years before! And there were those who felt that legally the Jacobean claim to the throne was both superior and far preferable to having a Hanoverian king on the throne of England. (The same argument was raised in Britain at the outbreaks of both the First and Second World Wars). Arrayed against him were the townspeople of Edinburgh, Glasgow and the southern areas, who were enjoying the union with England, protestants of many stripes but Presbyterian in Scotland, pretty much everybody in England and Wales, and many who felt that the King George was the correct King. Only a few Morrisons are known to have participated in Culloden—perhaps ten on each side according to those who have looked at it from the Morrison group, but the clan as a coherent unit had long ago been banned by then. There was a group of MacLeods in the Prince's army, and Morrisons may well have fought under other names. The split, though, was typical of the Scots—between 40 and 60 percent of the government troops were Scottish.

In the end, the Prince's army consisted of many true adherents, and quite a few who were forced into it. He was convinced that marching on London and seizing the throne would be successful. He counted on two particular events: that the people of England would rise up to support their rightful king, and that the French would send an army over to help These were critical not just for the propaganda value, but were needed to replace lost soldiers. Without these, the Prince's army would slowly melt away.

As early as September 1745, at

Holyrood, differences of strategy became clear—the commanders wanted to

secure Scotland for the Scottish, while the Prince wanted London immediately.

They went south. Militarily successful, they reached as close as 125 miles from

the capital before faltering at Derby. Here, in the middle of winter, the

realization that the people in the south w ere not joining them made the

commanders press their reservations. And there was no sign of the French. In the meantime, there were two government armies reclaiming lost ground behind them. The commanders were concerned—the war council overruled the Prince. They went back north...to end up at Culloden.

Agnew Family Reunion

October 17, 2009

Lavonia United Methodist Church, Lavonia Ga.

By Tom Agnew of Irwin PA. and David Agnew of Lavonia Ga.

I (Tom) had not been to a Georgia reunion since Crispin, his daughters and I attended, what, twelve years ago? When I came in the door Saturday, people came up and said "hello Tom". How did they remember me? Last time I was there, I was a guest and went through the lunch line first. They said, "Take a piece of aunt 's pecan pie now. It won't be there the second time you go through." And it was not. This time there were four pecan pies, but I tried only three. I am supposed to be watching my diet.

I sat with John Addison, navy veteran from WW2. He had had a southern cook at his California naval base who served corn bread and buttermilk for Friday dinner because so many men were on weekend liberty. John took liberty after super so he wouldn't miss this southern meal. John taught Morse code for 2 years and said musicians were his best code readers. Something in knowing music made them do better.

Carolyn Agnew brought fried, breaded okra. They said I had to taste it. When I went back, there was none left. I have eaten boiled okra, but they said there was NO comparison.

Maree Agnew Nelson talked about making eggplant parmesan. "Slice eggplant thin, marinate in olive oil overnight and put on the George Forman to brown." I never thought of that. Maree has been instrumental in planning and organizing the Georgia reunion for the last 17 years.

They remembered "Aunt Bertha" who had fresh flowers year round in every room in her house (and an outdoor bathroom). She was a tremendous cook. Her house in Canon Ga. is a city park now, and there is no longer a cow in the back yard.

Oldest Agnew attending was Lorena (Meemaw) Agnew, age 86.

Loretta Phillips had the most family members present with 12.

Alicia Callahan and her son, David Causey traveled the farthest to be there (other than Tom Agnew from Pennsylvania) traveling about 2.5 hours one way.

Helen Agnew is restoring an 1857 building in Athens that she owns where she once operated a restaurant. The stucco has been removed to get to the original brick. She said the old brick was "home made" and might not stand rain and freezing, she may have to re-stucco the building, (never thought of that) It is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Susan Stancliff and her sister Jennifer Kobleur showed their photo album from Scotland where they were visiting over 9-11-2001. Their visit included Lochnaw castle. The pictures looked so much better than I remembered. Then I looked at a beautiful glowing picture of a stained glass window and realized it must be the photographer.

I spent the afternoon with David, Gloria, John and Lorena Agnew at Lorena's home. Then I

was treated to supper of REAL pulled pork barbecue by David and Gloria.

Doctor David is an anesthetist (he passes gas to keep folks asleep during surgery), and Gloria is a ninth grade math (geometry and algebra) teacher. Gloria said that teaching has changed so much, what they used to teach in high school is now taught in 7 t h grade. Gloria is up to it.

David and Gloria's older son Brian was in Spain for 8 months this year and took over 1600 pictures, all to be seen on a laptop for everyone's viewing. He worked at a campus ministry there at the University of Salamanca. Their younger son, Colin, is a percussionist (jazz and Latin music), actually making a living as a musician, working 4 to 5 nights a week, while attending Georgia State University in Atlanta.

I (Tom) brought both old and current pictures of the d"Agneaux inn, Lochnaw and Kilwaughter castles, stories about the Scottish and Irish Agnews, and my cousin's DNA testing showing we are all African Americans and probably were at one time one of the tribes of Judaism. I traded an Agnew kilt pin for a quart of John Agnew's homemade wine, both parties made out on that deal. I also brought a replica of a matchlock musket and talked about Sir Andrew's fusiliers and the battle of Dettigen (Netherlands) in 1743. We also sold 5 very nice Agnew coffee mugs with proceeds going to the kitty for next year's reunion.

Next reunion will be at 11am. on the third Saturday in October 2010 at the Lavonia United Methodist Church in Lavonia Ga. Y'ALL COME!

David Agnew's stories as M.C.

New idea for health care; issue everyone over 65 a gun and 4 bullets. They each are to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives, and then they will be sent to jail and get 3 square meals a day and good health care for the rest of their lives, (and not even have to pay taxes).

They asked this old Southern gentleman why he carried a gun everywhere? He said it was because a cop was too heavy. Also, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

A quote, "People who forge their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not." (Thomas Jefferson) Also from Thomas Jefferson, "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is powerful enough to take everything you have."

Look up Elijah Agnew, b. about 1820 in South Carolina. He served in the 16 t h South Carolina Infantry during the Civil War and died at Camp Chase, Ohio prison camp in April, 1865. He was in Pickens County South Carolina in the 1840 census. Don't know his ancestry. Did Ken Agnew of South Carolina have more information? Ken owned a luggage shop in Fountain Inn, South Carolina, but unfortunately has died.

(I looked up Elijah and all of his ancesters. I should have it ready for the February 2010 printing)

A religious couple thought it would be nice to spend Christmas Eve in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. Arriving there, they searched high and low for lodging, without luck. Near midnight, they pulled up in front of a hotel and the husband gets out of the car, telling his wife, "Stay here Sweetie, I'll see if I can find something for us."

Alas there were no rooms available. "Sorry sir, "The clerk said. "It's Christmas Eve, our busiest time."

No matter how much the man offered to pay, the hotel clerk repeated that the hotel was booked. Finally, the man threw his hands up in the air and said, "I bet if I told you my name was Joseph and that the woman waiting in the car was named Mary, and that she was about to have a baby, you'd find us a room."

"Well," stammered the clerk, "I suppose so."

"OK then, I guarantee they're not coming tonight, so we'll take their room."
