This makes sense--Scottish Gaelic is closely related to Irish Gaelic so enough people must have crossed from Ireland to implant their language in Scotland and the Hebrides. Gaelic is Q-Celtic; Welsh and Breton are P-Celtic. I think there may be some placenames in the far southern areas of Scotland which are P-Celtic in origin, indicating that the Irish-speakers didn't settle there.

Pinmore in Ayrshire, mentioned in one of the Dorothy Sayers murder mysteries featuring Lord Peter Wimsey, is a Q-Celtic name--the P-Celtic equivalent is Bryn Mawr. It just means "big hill."

Another excellent work on this subject is “Saxons, Vikings and Celts: The Genetic Roots of Britain and Ireland,” by Bryan Sykes, who also wrote the groundbreaking “Seven Daughters of Eve.” All fascinating.

In the Gaelic the name “Elgin,” the earldom and old walled city in the northeast, means “Little Ireland.” Take a map of where the best single malt scotches are made and you will see that a disproportionate number are made in “Little Ireland.”

More proof that Arlen Specter is not a Scotsman, he’s a SINO... he’s Irelands fault.

Being a Scotsman by blood, I have to believe that is true,. ;>)

Why is the name Dal Riata not in this story?

Are these people completely historically illiterate?

And these patterns of relatedness and divergence based upon common ancestry in the past are exactly what biologists observe in species, leading biologists to conclude that they also shared common ancestry.

Fergus Mor Ping:

Who Goes With Fergus?

WHO will go drive with Fergus now,
And pierce the deep wood’s woven shade,
And dance upon the level shore?
Young man, lift up your russet brow,
And lift your tender eyelids, maid,
And brood on hopes and fear no more.

And no more turn aside and brood
Upon love’s bitter mystery;
For Fergus rules the brazen cars,
And rules the shadows of the wood,
And the white breast of the dim sea
And all dishevelled wandering stars.

(With a double spondee!)
