Howdy,
BOOK --- Who Are The SCOTCH (A very PATRIOTIC title, indeed........),
published, A.D. 1880, declared *********
"The ancient Scotia was Ireland, and the Irish were known
in early history as Scots."
"...the word Scot means wanderer."
Then he quotes somebody ---
"Is it by any means probable that a small band of emigrants landing in Scotland from Ireland in 503
could have been able, in the year 843, to overthrow a kingdom that had successfully
resisted the Roman armies???"
"The early Scottish kings were reported to be of the Irish northern Hy Niall line of chiefs."
Then he quotes another sombody ---
"the Scoto-Irish colonists overspread the Western Isles and Highlands
...introduced their own language and customs."
"But there are strong opinions entertained on the other side that the
Scots were aborigines of Scotland, and, in all probability, that they settled in Ireland."
Quoting somebody who took that stand ---
"that the Irish dressed differently from the Scots ;
used the target, sword, and dirk, instead of the bow, spear, and javelin ;
wore plaids, and not pantaloons and cloaks."
"The Scots of Albany or Scotland called themselves Gwyddel, woodlanders."
"A connection, intimate and continued, did exist between north-east Ireland and south-west Scotland."
"the title of Dalriads or Scots came to be applied indifferently to both sides of the water."
"Certainly no writer used the word Scotia for Albany, instead of Ireland, till the eleventh century."
"The Kingdom of Scotia was inaugurated by Malcolm in 1005."
SCOTIA --- FREEDOM TO WORSHIP THEE KING OF KINGS AS IT IS WRITTEN.............
Sincerely, Indeed,
