Noble friends, Here's a very interesting little BBC story about evidence for Africans being in Scotland in the 16th century: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/tayside_and_central/8478535.stm . Certainly a little-known facet of history. Kind regards, Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot (mka Garth Groff)
