Excerpt from Religio Scotica: Its Nature as Traceable in Scotic Saintly Tradition
That such a condition of things can and did exist is certain, and we have looked for evidences of the correctness of our view in Scottish story and tradition and have found it and though it must always be possible for students to believe that what we have gleamed was but philological romance in its origin, it certainly demonstrates that the earliest Gaelic writers had the idea of connecting the Scot with darkness.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the history and practices of the Celtic Church, particularly in Scotland, offering a radical new interpretation of Christian origins and the worship of Brigit and John the Baptist. This groundbreaking text investigates the non-scriptural influences on the origins and development of Gaelic Christianity, arguing that it was influenced by Celtic beliefs that predated the arrival of Christianity. Challenging generally accepted ideas, and using new evidence from Scottish placenames, folklore, and archaeological discoveries, the author suggests that common assumptions of what constitute "Christian" practices may not be reliable. This book will be essential reading for anyone who wants to move beyond conventional assumptions about Celtic religious history and beliefs.
