Thread Name: BS: Celtic melancholy
Subject: RE: BS: Celtic melancholy
I sympathize Alice, but once the advertizers latch onto a word it's hard to re-esablish it's legitimate use. Just look at what's called folk music now. I think the Scots are still writing 'Jacobite' ballads. Celtic art, jewelry, religious artifacts are widely sprread in Europe and the British Isles, and it would appear that a lot of the gold came from the Wicklow Mountains (not too far from Dublin). Can someone tell me anything directly about Pictish language was, and the language on the 'rune' stones or whatever those old memorial stones in Scotland are called.
