Heh... That one goes both ways. I’ve got the roots in all the corners of the B-Isles, and yet have never been at war with myself.

Or, more likely, a Scottish weapon would be found embedded in the skull of one of their sworn enemy, another Scot. ;’)

I watched a show on Science Channel or H2 or NatGeo...where they were looking for and finding remains of communities in what is now the English Channel. One guy was obviously a boat builder and the pieces of wood found there were dated to, Im going to say,b 12000-14000BP.

cool stuff.

- I believe it is a small tattered Islamic cloth trophy the McLeod Clan brought back from the Crusades that they call “The Faerie Flag”

- Some years ago the British Royal family attempted to seize the mountains - but Clan McLeod prevailed in court against the Queen

- We call Castle Dunvegan “our summer place”

- Clan McLeod - There can be only one….

I an mot aware of any. There are a number of caves in the area, but I’m not aware of any with ancient art in them.
