	BBC News \| SCOTLAND \| SNP suspends treasurer
		The Scottish National Party has suspended its treasurer, Iain Blackford, who is threatening to sue party leader Alex Salmond for defamation.
		Mr Blackford was the subject of a motion of "no confidence" by Mr Salmond which was carried by 18 votes to three at a meeting of the party's executive at the weekend.
		However, SNP sources said the treasurer had lost the confidence of an overwhelming majority of the executive and talk of an apology was "nonsensical".

	David Beaton
		Beaton was one of King James's most trusted advisers, and it was mainly due to his influence that the king drew closer the French alliance and refused King Henry VIII's overtures to follow him in his religious policy.
		In the same year he was raised to the office of chancellor of Scotland, and was appointed protonotary apostolic and legate a latere by the pope.
		Unfortunately politics were inextricably interwoven with the religious controversies of the time, and resistance to English influence involved resistance to the activities of the reformers in the church, whose ultimate victory has obscured the cardinal's genuine merits as a statesman.

	Clelland coat of arms Cleland Coat of arms
		Little is known of the origin of the name in Scotland except that it was in Gaelic originally Mac Gille Fhaolain, 'son of the devotee of Saint Fillan' exactly as in Ireland.
		Another possible origin of the name in Scotland relates to Patrick, son of Gilbert M'Lolane, who was one of the band of landed gentry who took Dumfries Castle from the supporters of King Robert I (the Bruce) in 1306 after the murder of John Comyn.
		Thus was settled the question whether Douglas or Stewart was henceforth to rule in Scotland; for James, the Earl's brother and sole successor, proved himself to be a Douglas only in name, and through wavering he lost all.

		Not much is known about Kilwinning during the medieval era because of the scarcity of original documents, but a statement in the Accounts of the Lord High Treasurer of Scotland does mention how in November 1491, King James IV visited Kilwinning and was entertained at a supper held presumably in the monastery itself.

		In 17th century Scotland, the colours carried by the infantry regiments that fought against Cromwell in 1648-50 are in a wide variety of colours.

	History of the Great Highland Bagpipe - Henderson's Ltd.
		Scotland's national instrument, the Bagpipe or in Gaelic "piob-mhor" (the great pipe) is not, contrary to popular belief, an instrument which has its origins in and has diffused from Scotland.
		This might have something to do the with the fear that most people have of getting into conversations with others about their hobbies, but is also suggests that people don't know what a wide variety of bagpipes there are, and what an expansive history pipes have.
		The truth is that the first piper had no idea where Scotland was, and that he was probably playing something that looked more like a stuffed dog than a Scottish bagpipe.
