scotia

Amazing.

Alba / modern Scotland was known as 'Caledonia' by the Romans. Then known as 'Scotia minor' as Ireland was Scotia major . Pictland or Scotland slowly became merged to 'Scotland' in the 700/800s to a certain Popes declaration too about the year 1000 AD, to disfranchise the Irish -Hibernian 'Scoti' monks who had been re christianizing Dark Age Europe.Over centuries it was was gradually colonized, partly conquered, by the original 'Scoti' (Irish) or Scots - tribes from Ulster under Dalriada and others. The original inhabitants of the NE Caledonia were the Picts. So Scotland has three main strands the Gaelic-Pictish merger of crowns and Celtic clans and some settling Danes / Norse from the Viking incursions.

love the ghostly quality to this

Sweet : ) I love how prim and white his collar is and how dirty his little legs are. Somehow his top half with the hat and the little coat seems a bit overdressed compared to his bare feet and shorts! -- seen in the Powerhouse Museum Discussion thread in the Flickr Commons group.

The link to the NLI version seems to be broke - it says the record does not exist

Architecture of Dublin Better late than never! I have fixed the link just now. I expect the work on the following photo will bring some of our researchers here today. I have never been quite happy with the date of Circa 1895?
