New works come out every year, and the field of Scottish medievalism is a vibrant and changing one. Scottish medievalists can generally be grouped into two categories: Celticists and Normanists. The former, such as Thomas Owen Clancy, Dauvit Broun, and others are interested in the native cultures of the country, and often have linguistic training necessary for their specialism.

| | | | | Battle of Dunbar (1296): Encyclopedia II - William Wallace - 700th anniversary of Wallace's execution In 2005, the 700th anniversary of Wallace's execution, his sword became the most popular feature of an exhibition in New York during the celebrations of Tartan Week.

A symbolic funeral was held at the site of Wallace's execution in Smithfield, London with an empty coffin. While the event hosted 300 attendees, more than 900 people unsuccessfully ap ...

In fact, until the Norman era, and perhaps even until the reign of Alexander II, the Scottish king controlled only a minority of the people who lived inside the boundary of modern Scotland, in the same way as the French monarchs of the middle ages only had control of patches of what is now modern France. The rule ...
