and the Northern Isles. Thankfully it hs come to naught [as yet]

What does IIRC mean?

Isn't Inis Witrin/Yniswytrin the older name the Britons had for Glastonbury? Before the Saxons renamed it?

Dodge and I had a long chat on another thread about woad, so I won't bore everyone by going into it again.

The present gaelophiles seem to want to seperate the Gaels as being non-indo-european too, if the funding to the people with that opinion to make tv about it is anything to go by (Pagans and NaCeiltich). I get a bit sick of the Gaelic road signs. Fort Augustus has "reclaimed" it's Gaelic name, for instance. It never had one. The village close to where the fort was built, and given the English name of Fort Augustus, right from the get go, previously had a Brythonic name. Why didn't they "reclaim" that? Why translate the name of the fort the english General Wade built and named for a foreign king for the purpose of putting down highlanders into the Gaelic to look like they are embracing their culture?

P.S. Thanks for the link Dodge.
