 100 Great Black Britons - Niger Val Dub
One of them, was known as King Kenneth, sometimes as Niger or Dubh, a surname which means 'the black man.' It is a historical fact that Niger Val Dubh lived and reigned over certain black divisions in scotland - and that a race known as 'the sons of the blacks' succeeded him in history.
Kenneth was the last king of Scotland to succeed to the throne through the system of tanistry, whereby the succession was shared between two family lines and the dying king named the person from the other family line who was to succeed him.
The system was much discredited as it ensured the two royal families of Scotland were in a constant state of war with each other.

 Dub of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Culem attacked Dubh and the parties met at Drum Crup (probably Crief), and, after a doubtful struggle in which Doncha, the Abbot of Dunkeld, and Dubdou, the Maormor of Atholl, both partisans of Culen, lost their lives Victory was declared for Dubh.
Dubh (which means "black" in Gaelic) was son of Malcolm I and succeeded to the throne after Indulf was killed.
Fordun calls him "a man of dovelike simplicity, yet the terror of rebels, thieves, and robbers." Culen, the son of Indulf, attempted to seize his throne, in violation of what in those days was the established order of succession under the tanistry law.

 Gordon Williams interview - Gordon Williams on Straw Dogs
Based on Williams’ novel The Siege of Trencher’s Farm, it featured graphic scenes of violence and a notorious rape scene - not contained in the book - which led one commentator to dub it a "a running sewer disgorging human waste".
Although he now lives in London, the sequel will be eagerly awaited in Scotland where authors and commentators have wondered where Williams - once regarded as one of the nation’s most promising literary talents - disappeared to.
But Williams later turned his back on films and novels and made a living ghost-writing newspaper columns and autobiographies for football stars, teaming up with Terry Venables to write a series of novels about a London private detective called Hazell.

 HistoryBuff.com -- The Spanish Armada of 1588
Medina Sidonia therefore decided to call off further attempts at joining with Parma, and return to Spain by rounding the northern tip of Scotland.
Thus the only means to effect a rendezvous was for Medina Sidonia's fleet to anchor offshore and remain long enough for Parma to assemble his barges and depart the Dutch coastline, a severe limitation which of course made the Armada vulnerable to English interception while at anchor.
Leicester had assembled a land defensive force of 4-5,000 English soldiers at Tilbury Fort in the case of a landing by Parma, to whom Elizabeth had delivered a rousing speech.

 St. Columba
It was probably at Clonard that Columba was ordained priest, although it may have been later, when he was living with his friends, Comgall, Kieran, and Kenneth, under the most gifted of all his teachers, St. Mobhi, by a ford in the river Tolca, called Dub Linn, the site of the future city of Dublin.
Columba, the most famous of the saints associated with Scotland, was actually an Irishman of the O'Neill or O'Donnell clan, born about the year 521 at Garton, County Donegal, in north Ireland.
Columba's own conscience was uneasy, and on the advice of an aged hermit, Molaise, he resolved to expiate his offense by exiling himself and trying to win for Christ in another land as many souls as had perished in the terrible battle of Cuil Dremne.

The band's live sound has been embellished with inspired use of strings, sparkling effects and even occasional dub passages ­ although nominally a guitar band, Geneva are as fond of reggae as they are of Led Zeppelin, drum 'n' bass, Al Green, The Byrds and Tricky.
The band were signed by Nude Records in late 1995 on the strength of one gig in Scotland and an amazing two-song demo tape (which included Further).
Taking its title from one of the band's eeriest and uncanniest tracks, Further consists of 12 songs, half of which have been performed live over the last year-and-a-bit.

 Disquiet: Page-spotter, a bibliography in progress
Collection of fiction "thematically linked with ritual, technology and their clash with human desires and needs." Along with work by Jeff Noon, Kirk Lake, and editor Palmer, there is a piece by the electronic musician Scanner.
Lanza's collection of essays is more about the history of lounge music and the Muzak corporation than it is about the current crop of ambient music, but it develops a vocabulary of mood music, at once concise and perfumed.
This estimable collection of conversations with contemporary composers is at its best when the subjects veer from specific pieces into the hypothetical realm of sonic experimentation that is American minimalism, electronic or otherwise.

 Lochinver Tourist Information and Travel Guide at InfoHub.com
Heading north from Lochinver, there are two possible routes: the fast A837, which runs eastwards along the shore of Loch Assynt to join the northbound A894, or the narrow, more scenic B869 coast road that locals dub "The Breakdown Zone", because its ups and downs claim so many victims during summer.
The potholed and narrow road north from Achiltibuie through Inverkirkaig is unremittingly spectacular, threading its way through a tumultuous landscape of secret valleys, moorland and bare rock, past the startling shapes of Cul Beag (2523ft), Cul Mòr (2785ft) and the distinctive sugar-loaf Suilven (2398ft).
There's a better-than-average tourist office (April-Oct Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, July and Aug also Sun 10am-5pm; tel 01571/844330), whose visitor centre gives an interesting rundown on the area's geology, wildlife and history; a countryside ranger is available to advise on walks.

While many a well-versed record nerd can reduce the post-punk movement to a concrete list of essential bands, record labels, and compilations, the genre's best critics emphasize that post-punk has always been, more than anything else, defined by a particular musical approach, a determination to challenge rock conventions and create something new and interesting.
