Their traditions and beliefs are still evident today amongst these groups, and can be found in superstitions, placenames and language. Perhaps because of their great skills, as warriors, orators and artists, around 517 BC the Greek explorer Hecateus de Miletus, in his Geography , was drawn to describe this transalpine people as :- "one of the four great barbarian peoples".

The evidence available suggests that the Basques are the descendents of prehistoric man dating from the Lower Palaeolithic. Evolving from the Cro-Magnon man, the Basques developed as a distinct group sometime between 40,000 BC and 7,000 BC. (Discovered in 1994 at Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, Ardeche, France) Prehistoric cave paintings have been discovered in several mountain caves in the Basque homeland. Dolmen de Mazerlegos near Burgos, Spain Menag in Malaga, Spain the largest dolmen in Europe Thousands of megalithic sites remain throughout areas of early Basque occupation in Spain, France and Portugal. Despite having the oldest language in Europe, no writing was known among the Basques until the Romans, when attempts were made to write Basque in Latin; however, it wasn't until the Christian missionaries arrived en masse in the 10th century that someone developed a phonetic form of writing to represent the language itself. Writings are known from other nearby peoples, such as the now assimilated Iberians of southeastern Spain. The Iberians also had a non-IndoEuropean language, which has so far defied translation. Some of the oldest tombstones of the Basques were said to contain some kind of writing, but the Christian missionaries destroyed them.

Before writing was widespread in Ireland, a class of men were trained to memorize the hereditary history of their clan and all the descendants from the founder or progenitor without error or ommission. They were called "filads". King Cormac Mac Art, in the third century of the Christian era, ordered the history of the Irish nation to be compiled. This work was called "The Psalter of Tara". From this and other more recent works, "The Psalter of Cashel" was written in the ninth century. The original of this is in a London museum. After Christianity came in the 5th century, the monks recorded all of the history and pedigrees they could find. Most hereditary surnames only came into use in the tenth century, by command of the illustrious King Brian Boru. The harp

Agricola leading four Roman legions wages battle with the 'Caledonians" in the battle at Mons Graupius (~Aberdeenshire). The barbarians, led by 'Calgicus', was referred to by the historian Tacitus as "a man of high courage and lineage" Tacitus (Agricola's son in law) wrote that the Caledonians had "reddish hair and large limbs" Construction of the Hadrian Wall (along the River Fife), the dividing line between modern day Scotland and England, to defend against the unconquered barbarians to the north. A tribute to the tribal bands who, faced with the Roman challenge, became organized into a successful defense Only four Roman writers mention the Picts by name (Picti or Pretanii). The first reference by Eumenius in 297 AD, in a description of travels by Constantius in and to the north coast of Scotland, described 'a nation, still savage and accustomed only to the hitherto semi-naked Picts and Hibernians as their enemies, yielded to Roman arms and standards without difficulty.' This is in reference to the original conflicts between the Picts and Agricola.

History and background to Scotsand Picts Who were the Picts? The origin of the Picts is clouded by the many fables and legends about them. There are numerous theories as to who the Picts were and where they came from. Experts even disagree over what they ate and drank and what language they spoke. The Picts were an ancient and artistic people who defied the might of Rome which conquered the rest of Britain. They were a sophisticated , hardworking, clever people, skilled in farming and fishing. How do we know about the Picts? The Picts left few written records. Our main sources of information are Roman and Greek writings , as well as designs and symbols left on great Pictish stones. We also know that their story tellers passed stories down through the ages by word of mouth. Picts are first recorded in history in the third century AD. Eumenius, a Roman writer, describes the "pictus" as fierce and skilled in battle. It is not clear whether "pictus" (the Latin for ‘painted’) was intended, or if this is a Latin form of some indigenous name.

abercorn kirk west lothian NT 081 791 CHURCH OF SCOTLAND Introduction Abercorn is located on the Southern shore of the River Forth, to the North of Linlithgow, towards the Western extent of modern Lothian. Click here for a location map provided by StreetMap The C12th/Modern Kirk at Abercorn History Abercorn is probably the site of an ancient Celtic Christian centre which later played a highly significant role in Scottish history, despite its modest size. St. Ninian allegedly visited Abercorn on his mission to the Southern Picts in the C5th, and following the Northumbrian defeat of Gododdin in AD 638, and the temporary subjection of the Southern Picts, Abercorn became a Northumbrian Anglian episcopal centre in AD 678 which briefly controlled South-Pictish Christianity under Bishop Trumwin. However, the Anglian hegemony in the North came to an abrupt end with their defeat by the Picts at the Battle of Dunnichen in AD 685, and Trumwin beat a hasty retreat South to Whitby. According to the Anglian historian, Bede (NB. for "English" in this translation, read "Anglian"): - Bede

Celtic Hounds Hand Carving by Andrew Howe - see link below DALRIADA, THE BEGINNING The History of Dalriada The Beginning The heritage of what we now call the Scottish people have their roots set firmly in the history of Dalriada, particularly the people of the Western Isles and Highlands - The Gaidheal. It is for this reason that this the Trust carries the name of Dalriada. Dalriada was the name of the people who came here from Ireland and whom the Romans called the Scots. The earliest knowledge we have of them comes from when they were still in Ireland. At that time there were four septs or main families of the Erainn stock, who were considered to be a section of the original inhabitants of Eire These four septs were named the Muscraige, Corco Duibne, Corco Baiscind and Dal Riata, who came from three sons of Conaire Mor called Cairpre Musc, Cairpre Baschain and Cairpre Riata. These four septs of the Erainn migrated from Breg in the north of Ireland to Munster in the south. No reason is given as to why they traveled south, although it is probable that their own family lands could no longer contain them. On arriving in Munster the Erainn allied themselves with a people known as the Eoganachta, to wage war against another people of Munster known as the Erna Mumaim and in doing so they managed to obtain land to live on. At some point later a famine in Munster forced the Dal Riata sept of the Erainn to move back north into the ancient territory of the Ulaid, later to become known as Ulster. One of the other Erainn septs, the Corco Duibne, claimed the Munster land they left.

Home Page Hotel Scarborough Doorstep History ... Site Map Doorstep History . . . On 11 May '98 the Scarborough Evening News announced that a research team from Cambridge University had uncovered evidence of an advanced community of stone age hunters at Starr Carr about 8 miles from Scarborough between Seamer and Flixton. This community is believed to be more advanced than anything else in Europe at the time and has drawn comparisons with Jericho and the Middle east - traditionally thought of as the cradle of civilisation. Castle Rock 500 BC Excavations in the area of the Castle Rock in the 1920's found Bronze Age relics. It is important to remember that at this time Britain was still joined to Europe - the land to the East was mostly marsh. AD 400 The Romans built a series of signal stations along the East Coast so that fires could be lit in the event of an invasion from the North Sea. These beacons were built at Ravenscar, Scarborough (on Castle Rock) and Filey Brigg. The Scarborough site was abandoned around AD400. Around AD650 the present day Yorkshire area was occupied by both Picts (ancient people of Northern England) and Saxons (Germanic in origin). In AD655 King Oswy of Northumbria defeated the Picts and then ruled the East Coast from Aberdeen down to the Wash. Around AD790 the Danes began attacking Northumbria and by AD880 they had occupied much of Northern England including York which they made their capital. A Danish prince called Thorgil was nicknamed 'Scarthi' which means 'hare lip'. The settlement established in AD966 took its name from "Scarthi's Burgh" or Scarthi's stronghold - hence Scarborough.

if(top == self) self.location.href="index.htm" New Book Available Now Order Your Copy Summary This book is an attempt to revive the study of history, as it used to be, before it became corrupted by the assumption that early humans were descended from ape-like creatures over a long period of time. Before the time of Darwin and Huxley, most history books started off with a brief statement about creation and the flood, and how the three sons of Noah went to different parts of the world, Shem to Asia, Ham to Africa and Japheth to Europe. Then they would continue the history from that point onwards. A considerable amount of information was available, from non-Biblical sources, and much of it is still available today, although it sometimes requires the retrieval of obscure material from second-hand bookshops and library archives. My source material has included the Babylonian history, from the fragments that remain of the works of Berosus, and the Greek mythology which is a highly embellished version of early history. After that, I have focused on the history of Britain and Ireland, because this is the part of the world where I live, and it is always easier to research one's own locality. There has recently been a revival of creationism, as new evidence is continually emerging that contradicts the theory of evolution. I will not go into all this here, but many resources are available, and some of them are referenced from my

ANCIENT HISTORY As the retreating ice sheets uncovered the bleak and barren surface of the land, sea levels rose and filled the yawning chasm that would, in time, become the Irish Sea. The time was approximately 11,000 years ago and, save a few migrating birds, neither flora nor fauna decorated the rocky, scree covered panorama. It would not be long, however before the first grasses would appear, and the length and breadth of the land shimmered under constant moisture-laden gales. Within a few hundred years, forests of beech and juniper, alder and birch, would cloak the land, trapping the mists from leaden skies. The stage was set for the arrival of our earliest ancestors – those who would begin the process of transforming this land and capturing it’s shrouded mysteries as captivating tales of legend and myth. The Emerald Isle would at once be both beguiling and forbidding, and the reality no less fascinating than the myths themselves. What would begin as storytellers art millennia ago would evolve into a record that approaches historical text. Never mere fancy, these legends can be viewed as markers of cultural change, and as such, they may provide a vivid, if exaggerated, glimpse of critical times of transition. Specific facts, such as names, dates, and even places must be treated with suspicion, but behind that façade often lays the framework of a civilization in evolution. Neolithic man also left his physical imprint upon this land . This was The Age of Farming, and, as farmers, they cleared the land aggressively. With well-crafted stone axes they felled the forests that covered the highlands, and then the valleys. Wooden plows left imprints in the soil that have even been preserved to this day. They raised wheat and barley, pigs, goats, sheep, and cattle. The post-holes of
