Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Scottish Nation, Vol. 3: From Union of Scots and Picts, A. D. 843, to Death of Alexander III., A. D. 1286 The Picts closed their distinctive historic career when they lost this battle. They were by much the earlier inhabitants Of the country, and doubtless regarded the Scots as a new people. The Picts or Caledonians, if not the first, were among the first races that found their way to Caledonia after its plains and mountains had looked up from the waters Of the flood. Yet this ancient people were content to lose name and record in the annals of a race whose arrival in the mountains of Argyllshire dated only five cen turies back. The award of battle had decrccd that the elder should serve the younger, and to that award they bowed. Not Pictish blood alone, nor Scottish blood alone.
