The Men of the North: The Britons of Southern Scotland by Tim Clarkson This book explores the history of the North Britons, a native Celtic people who played a significant role in shaping Scottish history during the first millennium AD. From their emergence as a distinct culture to their eventual demise, the fortunes of Strathclyde and other kingdoms are examined in detail. The story of the North Britons is one of warfare, political rivalry, and cultural exchange, with Christianity playing a key part in their development. Important ecclesiastical figures such as Ninian of Whithorn and Kentigern of Glasgow are discussed, shedding light on the complex web of sources that surround these historical figures. By tracing the history of this often-neglected group, Clarkson aims to redress the balance and provide a fresh perspective on Scotland's early medieval past.
