Tain is a royal burgh and parish in the County of Ross, in the Highlands of Scotland. The name derives from the nearby River Tain, the name of which comes from an Indo-European root meaning 'flow'. The Gaelic name, Baile Dubhthaich, means 'Duthac's town', after a local saint also known as Duthus.
Tain railway station is on the Far North Line. The station is unmanned; in its heyday it had 30 staff. The station was opened by the Highland Railway on 1 January 1864. From 1 January 1923, the station was owned by the London Midland and Scottish Railway. Then in 1949 the British railways were nationalised as British Railways. When the railways were privatised the station became part of ScotRail.
Notable buildings in the town include Tain Tolbooth and St Duthus Collegiate Church. The town also has a local history museum, Tain Through Time, and the Glenmorangie distillery. Tain has two primary schools -Craighill (pupils - 274, April 2011) and Knockbreck (pupils - just under 120, April 2011) - and a secondary school called Tain Royal Academy with 500 pupils in summer 2014.
Tain was granted its first royal charter in 1066, making it Scotland's oldest Royal Burgh, commemorated in 1966 with the opening of the Rose Garden by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The 1066 charter, granted by King Malcolm III, confirmed Tain as a sanctuary, where people could claim the protection of the church, and an immunity, in which resident merchants and traders were exempt from certain taxes. These led to the development of the town.
Little is known of earlier history although the town owed much of its importance to Duthac. He was an early Christian figure, perhaps 8th or 9th century, whose shrine had become so important by 1066 that it resulted in the royal charter. The ruined chapel near the mouth of the river was said to have been built on the site of his birth. Duthac became an official saint in 1419 and by the late Middle Ages his shrine was an important places of pilgrimage in Scotland. King James IV came at least once a year throughout his reign to achieve both spiritual and political aims.
A leading landowning family of the area, the Clan Munro, provided political and religious figures to the town, including the dissenter Rev John Munro of Tain (died ca. 1630). The early Duthac Chapel was the center of a sanctuary. Fugitives were by tradition given sanctuary in several square miles marked by boundary stones. During the First War of Scottish Independence, Robert the Bruce sent his wife and daughter to the sanctuary for safety. The sanctuary was violated and they were captured by forces loyal to William II, Earl of Ross who handed them over to Edward I of England The women were taken to England and kept prisoner for several years.
Tain was a parliamentary burgh, combined with Dingwall, Dornoch, Kirkwall and Wick in the Northern Burghs constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1801 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1918. Cromarty was added to the list in 1832.

During the First War of Scottish Independence, Robert the Bruce sent his wife and daughter to the sanctuary for safety. The sanctuary was violated and they were captured by forces loyal to John Balliol. The women were taken to England and kept prisoner for several years. John Ross, born 29 January 1726, Tain, died March 1800, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was a merchant during the American Revolution. He early relocated to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland, and entered into mercantile pursuits, but in 1763 he went to Philadelphia, where he became a shipping merchant. He was on familiar terms with George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Robert Morris, and several entries in General Washington's diary, during the sittings of the convention to frame the United States Constitution, tell of engagements to dine with Mr. Ross at his country place, Grange Farm or the Grange, named after the home of Lafayette. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Walia to prawdziwa kraina wodospadów! w tym odcinku odwiedzimy przepiękne miejsce jakim jest Walia w Wielkiej Brytanii.
Wodospady w Walii są przepiękne a niektóre z nich mają bardzo ciekawą historię tak jak cała piękna Walia.
W tym filmie pokażemy Wam nie tylko świat wodospadów ale także powiemy coś o tym co watro zobaczyć w Walii oraz co zobaczyć w Wielkiej Brytanii. Jeśli wybieracie się w te cudowne miejsca, nasz vlog podróżniczy poprowadzi Was przez podróże w UK.
Południowa Walia, Park Narodowy Brecon Beacons, Świat gór, pięknych bajkowych lasów, pięknych widoków oraz wodospadów.
To właśnie do tych ostatnich Was dzisiaj zabieramy! A dokładniej do Lasu Czterech Wodospadów, który w tym rejonie jest bardzo popularny.
W lesie tym odwiedzimy dwa największe i kilka mniejszych, a na końcu pokażemy Wam najwyższy wodospad w południowej Walii.
Las czterech wodospadów czyli tak zwany waterfall trail to niezwykle malowniczy, bardzo dobrze oznakowany leśny szlak ciągnący się przez około 9 km wzdłuż rzeki Afon Mellte mamy tutaj dwa punkty startowe rozpoczynające się na parkingach nieopodal lasu czterech wodospadów.
Pierwszy, to Cwm Porth, obok którego znajdziecie także jaskinie oraz drugi, dłuższy, który zaczyna się niecałe 2 km dalej -na parkingu Gwaun Hepste i to właśnie z niego dziś wyruszamy
Aby dostać się do kolejnego wodospadu, który chcielibyśmy Wam pokazać, musimy zmienić lokalizację.
Wodospad Henrhyd to najwyższy wodospad w południowej Walii. Jego wysokość sięga 27 metrów.
W porównaniu do poprzednich, znajduje się on znacznie bliżej parkingu i krócej się do niego idzie jakieś 500 metrów w dół.
U stóp tego wodospadu, słynny geolog William Edmund Logan odkrył skamieniałe drzewa, które dzisiaj można znaleźć w muzeum Swansea w Walii
Nakręcono tutaj także końcową scenę filmu Mroczny rycerz powstaje
Mamy nadzieję, że podobała Wam się nasza wycieczka po walijskich wodospadach. Jeśli tak, dajcie znać w komentarzach i subskrybujcie nasz kanał!
