Pathfinder 1E scottish highlanders in pathfinder world?????

"Wallace" = "Welsh" ('foreigner' in Saxon parlance), ie indigenous Romano-British, which included south-west Scotland, unlike the Anglo-Saxons who settled up the east coast, or the Gaels who came from Northern Ireland and settled western Scotland further north beyond Strathclyde. "Highlanders" seem to be almost entirely Gaels. I guess by Wallace's time the Lowlanders were pretty mixed, but still notably more Welsh in the West and Saxon in the east, and never very Gaelic.

Heh, I've got some ancestry from this group, my grandmother was an Irwin (Erinviene = west nobleman) who came from Ireland as part of Dal Raida (the Irish-Scot kingdom), and eventually the 4th king of Scotland, Malcolm Irwin. But then every Scot is both related to a king, and to someone who was hanged for stealing a horse... LOL. The Strathclyde is part of their kingdom - the Irwins that is. Grim Erinviene was the first ruler of Strathclyde.

Sorry, I recently did some geneaology work and discovered all this!

Greetings, kinsman! :D I'm a McBride on my mother's side; the McBrides are from the north coast of Ireland and are a sept of the MacDonalds, the Lords of the Isles. I grew up beside Dal Riata House, now part of the University of Ulster.
