What about your eastern brethren, the former pictish areas? What did they speak prior to the irish immivasion in the dark ages? Most seem to think it was a p-celtic language due to the names of some pictish leaders adn places, but with nothing but carved stones to go by....

Stones last other forms of writing typically are affected by the environment....And Ogham is considered a written laguage of great age...I refer to both P and Q which really seems to break more along a north and south line on the Great Isle...And just for fun compare the Ogham to some of the cuniform types of writing that have been found on various mud slabs from Phoenician times....
