January 14th Photograph North Inch Scotland

January 14th winter photograph of the North Inch, Perth, Scotland. The Battle of the North Inch, also known as the Battle of the Clans, was a staged battle between the Chattan Confederation and the Clan Kay in September 1396. Thirty men were selected to represent each side in front of spectators that included King Robert III of Scotland and his court, on land that is now the North Inch park in Perth, Scotland. The Chattans killed all but one of their opponents at a cost of nineteen deaths on their own side, and were awarded the victory. It is not clear who they were fighting, it may have been their traditional enemies Clan Cameron or it may have been Clan Davidson, in an internal dispute for precedence in the Chattan line of battle in future campaigns against the Camerons.

January 12th Photograph Lake Of Menteith Scotland

January 12th winter photograph of The Lake of Menteith, Port of Menteith, Scotland. This Scottish loch is located on the Flanders Moss, the flood plain of the upper reaches of the rivers Forth and Teith, upstream of Stirling. Until the early 1800s, the more usual Scottish name of Loch of Menteith was used. The only settlement of any size on the Lake of Menteith is Port of Menteith.

If the ice becomes thick enough, at least seven inches, an outdoor curling tournament called The Bonspiel or the Grand Match is held on the loch. The event can attract thousands of curlers despite its rarity. The last Grand Match was held in 1979. The planned 2010 Bonspiel was abandoned on health and safety grounds but many curlers turned up anyway..
