Adapting Sunset Song
This article traces the discourses shaping the 2015 film adaptation of Sunset Song, directed by Terence Davies. In doing so, it shows how both the film and Lewis Grassic Gibbon's original novel are involved in complex negotiations of ideas about Scottishness. In the case of the film, this is evident in its sophisticated and poetic visual engagement with some aspects of the novel's characterization of Chris Guthrie, its use of language, and its re…
Performing the National? Scottish Cinema in the Time of Indyref
This article examines Scottish cinema during the period 2012–17, assessing the ways in which the nation's constitutional debate, Scottish–English relations and discourses of national identity were engaged with thematically by films produced in this period. It argues that Scottish cinema in this period ‘performs the national’, in that a number of films flag their national status and engage with discourses of national identity at a distance, unburd…

Reported Speech in Matses
In Matses reported speech, the personal, spatial, and temporal indexicals of the reported speech act must be maintained from the point of view of the original speaker, thus resembling a strict form of direct speech. However, substantial paraphrasing, extraction, reconfiguration, and de re construals are permitted, which are features more typically associated with indirect speech. We give a detailed account of this unique reported speech system, i…

Further Notes on Ancient Wooden Traps – the so-called Otter and Beaver Traps
At the present time the recorded number of these traps amounts to forty-one, and their geographical distribution embraces Carniola, Lombardy, Germany (several localities), Denmark, Wales, and Ireland (three localities). They have been ascribed a variety of functions including musical instruments and models of boats. A stone monument at Clonmacnois, Ireland, shows a stag, apparently trapped in some kind of wooden structure which could be one of th…

X.—On a Bronze Age Cemetery and other antiquities at Largs, Ayrshire
A portion of the town of Largs is built on a raised beach which here attains a breadth of nearly a mile, though in general it is a mere strip of flat land along the coast. This low ground is fertile, and beyond it rises a picturesque background of grassy hills which shelter the town and bay on the east, a combination of natural advantages which must have rendered the locality an attractive place of abode for man from the earliest times. A plot of…

Notes of Crannogs or Lake Dwellings recently discovered in Argyllshire
Among the crannogs referred to in the following notes, there is only one which has been subjected to a sufficiently exhaustive investigation to give it a place of importance among lake-dwelling researches, viz., one of two found in the bed of a small loch, now drained, but formerly known as Lochan Dughaill, on the property of Sir William Mackinnon, Bart.,Balinakill; and as the principal object of this communication is to give an account of the ar…

Notes of a Visit to a Terp Mound at Aalzum, in North Friesland, Holland
Every one who is conversant with the physical conditions of Holland knows that,-were it not for its huge dikes, a large part of its most fertile land would be submerged. Before these bulwarks were constructed almost the whole of Friesland must have been swampy marshes, interspersed here and there with sandbanks. At the present time these lowlying districts look, to the casual observer, as if they were a dead level; but, on closer inspection, it w…
