In a recent post, you say that the Lowland Scots are decendents of the Britons. My understanding from the little I’ve read on the subject is that there was a significant Anglo element to the Lowland Scots, and that they represented Anglo Saxon communities that had remained independent politically from the English kingdoms. I’m not saying this is true, it’s just something I thought I read somewhere. Isn’t the Scots language related to English, and hence of Germanic origin? Can you shed some light? Also, can you tell me how the Picts fit into the picture?
