So? This still disnae mean that the toun o that name in the heart o
Pictland is ***bric -- ye say that Pictis is P-Celtic, but that theory is
foundit on the fact that there's placenames like this *in* *Pictland*. If
ye're claimin this name as ***bric, then ye're sayin that there's nae
evidence for Pictis as a P-Celtic leid.

*SOME* fowk in Scotland. There's nae evidence o them a speakin it. Modern
archaeological evidence puts the arrival o the Gaels in Scotland well
intae the BC, and modern geo-linguistic studies suggest there wis Germanic
tribes along the east coast of England aroun the same time.

How? As a man wi Q-Celtic Irish and Q-Celtic West-Coast-Scottish ancestry,
an a Norman-French surname that hit London wi Guillaume before flittin tae
the Pale o Dublin unner the Tudors, ah havnae any P-Celtic heritage, an
ah'm no gaun tae pretend tae.
