The Gazetteer for Scotland History Time-Line

The Scottish History Time-Line provides an alternative route to access the Gazetteer for Scotland. The time-line incorporates thousands of Scottish historical events including the births and deaths of famous Scots, archaeological sites and historic buildings in Scotland, together with the dates of battles and other cultural events. Each event is colour coded, with a key given below. The time-line is fully linked into the vast store of information which forms the Gazetteer for Scotland database.

Choose a time-period from the list below:

• Until the 13th Century
• 14th and 15th Centuries
• 16th Century
• 17th Century
• 18th Century
• Early 19th Century; 1800-49
• Late 19th Century; 1850-99
• Early 20th Century; 1900-49
• Late 20th Century; 1950-99
• 21st Century

Note that, within a single year, events are not necessarily presented in chronological order. The time-lines only give direct access to a limited number of Gazetteer for Scotland entries, because only some can ever have dates associated with them.
