There is much to add here and contributions are welcome at any time!  However, we seek to cover some of the following:

Celtic Warrior kingdom of the Votadini (or "The Goddodin" - i.e. "men of the Great Wood" in the Brethonic/British language once spoken here) stretching from East Lothian, through Berwickshire and North Northumberland

Roman occupation

Dark Ages

Wars of Independence - The Bruce / Wallace

Cromwell / Battle of Dunbar
