Image From Page 122 Of "Chronicles Of The Atholl And Tullibardine Families" (1908)
An image is a visual representation of something. It can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, or somehow otherwise feed into the visual system to convey information. An image can be an artifact, such as a photograph or other two-dimensional picture, that resembles a subject. In the context of signal processing, an image is a distributed amplitude of color(s). In optics, the term “image” may refer specifically to a 2D image. An image does not have to use the entire visual system to be a visual representation. A popular example of this is of a greyscale image, which uses the visual system's sensitivity to brightness across all wavelengths, without taking into account different colors. A black and white visual representation of something is still an image, even though it does not make full use of the visual system's capabilities. Images are typically still, but in some cases can be moving or animated. Characteristics Images may be two or three-dimension, dimensional, su ...

St Cuthbert's Church, Edinburgh
The Parish Church of St Cuthbert is a parish church of the Church of Scotland in central Edinburgh. Probably founded in the 7th century, the church once covered an extensive parish around the burgh of Edinburgh. The church's current building was designed by Hippolyte Blanc and completed in 1894. St Cuthbert's is situated within a large churchyard that bounds Princes Street Gardens and Lothian Road. A church was probably founded on this site during or shortly after the life of Cuthbert. The church is first recorded in 1128, when David I granted it to Holyrood Abbey. At that time, the church covered an extensive parish, which was gradually reduced until the 20th century by the erection and expansion of other parishes, many of which were founded as chapels of ease of St Cuthbert's. St Cuthbert's became a Protestant church at the Scottish Reformation in 1560: from after the Reformation until the 19th century, the church was usually called the West Kirk. After the Restoration in 1660, ...

Sir John Wemyss (1558–1621) was a Scottish landowner. Biography He was the son of David Wemyss (d. 1596) and Cecilia Ruthven, a daughter of William Ruthven, 2nd Lord Ruthven. His home was Wemyss Castle in Fife. The coastal location was sometimes called West Wemyss, and he was sometimes called the "Laird of West Wemyss". In May 1583 James, Lord Doune, his father-in-law, wrote to him about his feud with the Laird of Balmuto, which James VI intended to resolve. Sir Robert Melville had said that House of Raith were always friends to Wemyss. James VI had been playing a game in the Peel of Linlithgow with the Laird of Dunipace, and said he fought on Wemyss' side. John Wemyss went to Loch Gelly and built a fort and kept an armed boat to prevent the Boswells of Balmuto fishing on the loch. In 1592 he (and his father) provided a refuge at Wemyss castle for the Anne of Denmark's Danish lady-in-waiting Margaret Winstar whose partner John Wemyss of Logie had plotted with Francis Ste ...

Berwick-upon-Tweed (), sometimes known as Berwick-on-Tweed or simply Berwick, is a town and civil parish in Northumberland, England, south of the Anglo-Scottish border, and the northernmost town in England.

Lagopus
''Lagopus'' is a small genus of birds in the grouse subfamily commonly known as ptarmigans (). The genus contains three living species with numerous described subspecies, all living in tundra or cold upland areas. Taxonomy and etymology The genus ''Lagopus'' was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760 with the willow ptarmigan (''Lagopus lagopus'') as the type species. The genus name ''Lagopus'' is derived from Ancient Greek (), meaning "hare, rabbit", + (), "foot", in reference to the feathered feet and toes typical of this cold-adapted group (such as the snowshoe hare). The specific epithets ''muta'' and ''leucura'' were for a long time misspelt ''mutus'' and ''leucurus'', in the erroneous belief that the ending of ''Lagopus'' denotes masculine gender. However, as the Ancient Greek term is of feminine gender, and the specific epithet has to agree with that, the feminine ''muta'' and ''leucura'' are correct. The English name ''ptarmigan'' comes ...
