Interesting theory but beyond my ken.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

There's always room when one is hungry to Edinburgh-er. Especially one with onions, cheese, and BBQ sauce.

King Arthur's really Scottish? The next thing you know the Pope will be from Argentina.

News that's he's Scottish may tarnish his Stirling reputation.

That would scotch our plans.

I think I read this theory before, though not (apparently?) from this guy. In a 90s super-detailed history on the Dark Ages called The Barbarian Conversions. Part of it necessarily talks about early medieval sources of pre-1000s European history and how they compare with one another. I'll try to remember to check when I get home.
