Daniel Downie: Alba
Daniel Downie
Celtic languages were spoken across Scotland long before the peak of Celtic power, the kingdom of Alba. But just how Celtic is Scotland? Macbeth was the last truly Celtic King of Scotland and King James IV the last monarch fluent in Gaelic. After Union with England, a new Scot emerged, the North Briton, eager to cast of past Gaelic assertions and align themselves entirely with the new, nation-state of Great Britain. So, are modern-day Scots more Albannach or Sasannach? 'Not just a show, but an experience that leaves you both entertained and enlightened’ (Scotsman).
