by Donald A. Mackenzie

[87] Ep. X, 22.

[88] Celtic Britain (4th edition), p. 212.

[89] Tacitus, Agricola, Chap. XII.

[90] Agricola, Chap. XXI.

[91] Races of Europe, p. 436.

[92] The Ancient Egyptians, p. 58.

[93] Englished "Damnonians" (Chapter IX).

[94] Tacitus says that the Brigantes were in point of numbers the most considerable folk in Britain (Agricola, Chapter XVII).

[95] Evidently Cuchullin and other heroes of the "Red Branch" in Ireland were descended from peoples who had migrated into Ireland from Britain. Their warriors in the old manuscript tales receive their higher military training in Alba. It is unlikely they would have been trained in a colony.

[96] Ancient sacred stones with horses depicted on them survive in Scotland. In Harris one horse-stone remains in an olf church tower.
