For most of recorded history, women have been sidelined, if not
silenced, by men who named the built environment after themselves.
Now is the time to look unflinchingly at Scotland's heritage and
bring those women who have been ignored to light. Can you imagine a
different Scotland, a Scotland where women are commemorated in
statues and streets and buildings - even in the hills and valleys?
This is a guidebook to that alternative nation, where the cave on
Staffa is named after Malvina rather than Fingal, and Arthur's Seat
isn't Arthur's, it belongs to St Triduana. You arrive into Dundee
at Slessor Station and the Victorian monument on Stirling's Abbey
Hill interprets national identity through the women who ran
hospitals during the First World War. The West Highland Way ends at
Fort Mary. The Old Lady of Hoy is a prominent Orkney landmark. And
the plinths in central Glasgow proudly display statues of the
suffragettes who fought until they won. In this guide, streets,
buildings, statues and monuments are dedicated to real women,
telling their often unknown stories.
