General Scottish Heritage Information (Scottish Variety)

This is a topical index to information of a general nature about Scots and Scotland.  Some of the links are to external sites (which will open in another browser window).  The topics are diverse and offer intersting information, research capabilities, and "things to do" such as real-time web cameras (webcams) showing scenes of Scotland.  There is a menu which you may use to select topics of interest.  Each page you reach will have the same menu for ease of navigation.

Web Sources for Various Scottish Topics

The Catholic Encyclopedia, as its name implies, proposes to give its readers full and authoritative information on the entire cycle of Catholic interests, action and doctrine.  What the Church teaches and has taught; what she has done and is still doing for the highest welfare of mankind; her methods, past and present; her struggles, her triumphs, and the achievements of her members, not only for her own immediate benefit, but for the broadening and deepening of all true science, literature and art -- all come within the scope of the Catholic Encyclopedia.  The Capital Scot recommends the Catholic Encyclopedia as an excellent source of information about Scotland including Scottish saints [search <saint scotland>],  places [search <place scotland>],  events (i.e, Reformaton and Counter-reformation) [search <event scotland>],  organizations (e.g., Covenanters) [search <covenant scotland>],  movements [search <movement scotland>],  religion (e.g., Celtic Christianity) [search <Celtic Christianity>],  history [search <history scotland>],  and many more topics.
