"Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you foresee the future too" - Marcus Aurelius, successor to Antoninus Pius. “Landscapes are made through crossing elements, folding one time into another and with past and future piercing the present” Mike Crang, Professor of Geography, Durham. "Walk through it men, you're meant to be Romans!" shouted the indignant voice. The Antonine Guard's centurions, legionaries and auxiliaries were on parade near the Antonine Wall, and they were tip-toeing through the puddles, trying not to get their woollen socks wet. Such is the life of Roman military personnel in 21st century Scotland, but it wasn't always thus. Back in the 2nd century the Romans walked these same paths and fields, trying to maintain control over the barbarian natives to the north of their military wall. The Antonine Guard, a Roman military re-enactment group, take to the festivals and community days of Scotland's central belt towns and villages, trying to nurture and foster more interest in a 39mile long, turf built wall and deep ditch line that once cut through this land. The Antonine Wall, built on the orders of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius in the AD140s, is the most north westerly frontier of the Roman Empire. Overshadowed by the more southerly Hadrian's Wall, the Antonine Wall has slightly fallen from the maps. But perhaps it's time is now coming, in 2008 the Antonine Wall was listed as an extension to the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Frontiers of the Roman Empire" joining the German Limes frontier of the Empire. The Antonine Guard work to keep knowledge of the wall alive with their outreach work and educational activities in schools and festival days. New boards and signs highlight the 17 forts and fortlets, marker posts line the pathways through fields where the public can see the best remnants of the ditch and wall, much of which has been built over to make way for modern Scottish towns, canals and motorways. “I’m John Richardson, in today’s life. But in a previous life, because I’m a great believer, as the ancient world was, in reincarnation, so I take forward the name of an actual living soldier who served in Legion Number 6, called Gaius Julius Riticus, and Gaius served in the 6th legion and came from an area that today is between Switzerland and Austria, so he knew the mountains, the lakes, commonly known in Caledionia of course as lochs, but the similarity is there, I feel, between Gaius and John in the physical world that we both would have lived in"- John Richardson, The Antonine Guard.

'Unsullied and Untarnished' - by Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert Braw Lassies and Honest Lads, Left Hand Lasses and Right Hand Men, Cornets and Coldstreamers, all titles given to the upstanding youths who champion their towns during the summer Common Riding festivals of the Scottish Borders. Festivals in which they are charged with carrying the burgh or town standard around the common land and to “bring it back unsullied and untarnished.” I was intrigued by the history of the festivals and the commitment of the people who cherish their town and its traditions, and for whom the festivals and horseback rideouts are a major focal point of the year in these Border towns. “Exiles” return home to take part and greetings are sent by those unable to make the journey, bonds are reestablished with neighbouring towns, traditions are maintained, and the history and sense of community is kept alive and strengthened once more.

Nelson Mandela in Glasgow, Scotland, 1993 and 2002. Nelson Mandela's connection to Glasgow Glasgow was the first city in the world to honour Nelson Mandela with the Freedom of the City, in 1981, nine years before he was released from prison. In a bold move to send a message to the then apartheid regime, the council also renamed St George's Place as Nelson Mandela Place in 1986. This was seen as highly significant as this then became the address of the South African Consulate, which was based there. In October 1993, two years after his release from prison, Mandela came to Glasgow, where he was described by the then council leader Jean McFadden as "a symbol of the fight for equality and freedom across the world". The event famously saw Mandela dancing on stage in George Square, to the delight of the crowd of 10,000 people who had come to see him. A plaque commemorating the 30th anniversary of Glasgow awarding Mandela the Freedom of the City was unveiled by Denis Goldberg in 2011, a fellow defendant at the now infamous Rivonia trial. The plaque is engraved with words Mandela spoke from the dock during that trial on 20 April 1964. "I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
