[MR] BBC: First Scottish census

[Jim Looper]

Lord Mungo,

I would just like to say THANK YOU for the articles and reviews you post to the Merry Rose. While I don't read all of them, I've read over half. To be honest, I would never have looked for most of them on the web. So thanks for helping me broaden my horizons!

Sincerely,

Lucien

Don't blink, you'll miss my flash of brilliance!

Noble friends,

BBC offers an interesting look at Scotland's first census: 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/history/first_census_scotland.shtml . The 
Senchus for nAlban was apparently first written in the 7th century and 
concerns only the kingdom of Dal Riata in Western Scotland. No questions 
about the number of bathrooms here, but rather a sort of muster list for 
the king's army/navy.

And speaking of Dal Riata, the Scottish re-enactment group Swords of Dal 
Riata does this period (as well as other times). Check their web site 
at: http://swordsofdalriada.com/index.html .

Kind regards,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
