French Hood
French hood is the English name for a type of elite woman's headgear that was popular in Western Europe in roughly the first half of the 16th century. The French hood is characterized by a rounded shape, contrasted with the angular "English" or gable hood. It is worn over a coif, and has a black veil attached to the back, which fully covers the hair. Unlike the more conservative gable hood, it displays the front part of the hair. In France it was known as a ("Breton hood"), after Anne of Brittany, Queen of France from 1491, and also the last reigning Duchess of Brittany. She wears it in portraits, including one in her Grandes Heures of Anne of Brittany of 1503–1508, and her ladies are often also depicted wearing it. The French hood had a complicated and varied construction, with several layers of fabric, as well as jewels, wire, and perhaps metal bands. No examples survive, so aspects of its construction remain uncertain. History in England Although popularly associated wit ...

Gold Mining In Scotland
Gold has been mined in Scotland for centuries. There was a short-lived gold rush in 1852 at Auchtermuchty and Kinnesswood, and another in 1869 at Baile An Or on the Kildonan Gold Rush, Kildonan Burn (landform), burn in Helmsdale in Sutherland. There have been several attempts to run commercial mines.

Snood (headgear)
A snood () is a type of traditionally female headgear, with two types known. The long-gone Scottish snood was a circlet made of ribbon worn by Scottish young women as a symbol of chastity. In the 1590s, snoods were made using Florentine silk ribbon for the gentlewomen at the court of Anne of Denmark by Elizabeth Gibb. The other type was intended to hold the hair in a cloth or net-like hat. In the most common form, the headgear resembles a close-fitting hood (headgear), hood worn over the back of the head. It is similar to a hairnet, but snoods typically have a looser fit. Decorative hairnets, popular among women in the Victorian era, were referred to as snoods. This term was then applied to any netlike hat, and, in the 1930s, to a net bag headgear. This latter meaning became popular during the Second World War when women joined the workforce ''en masse'' and were required to wear the headgear to avoid their hair getting caught by the moving parts of the factory machinery.
