PRONUNCIATION OF SCOTTISH GAELIC CONSONANTS Most Gaelic written consonants vary in pronunciation based on whether they are. So, given that in Gaelic we have twelve consonant letters (ignoring h for the moment) b, c, d, f, g, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, that means theoretically there could be up to 48 different actual sounds -- but luckily, some of them overlap!

Brianna is a modern feminine form of Brian. THE SPELLING OF LENITED CONSONANTS IN GAELIC The Spelling of Lenited Consonants in Gaelic. Grammatical lenition involves a "softening" of the initial consonant sound of words and is required by Gaelic grammar in certain situations.

SCOTTISH NAMES RESOURCES Here are some names articles, lists, and resources prepared by myself and others. Some of them are specifically prepared for people involved in historical re-creation or re-enactment, such those involved with Renaisance Fairs or the SCA.. If you are trying to recreate a medieval Scottish name, be aware that medieval Scotland never had a single common vernacular language or culture in the NAMES FROM OLD ABERDEEN, 1636 Some examples include: Thomas Dolas, wobster, his wyff, two young bairnes, Alexander Edward, Williame Johnstoune and Cristiane Scherer, servantes.

The document that we know today as the Tartar Relation, is a description of the Carpini Mission to Central Asia in 1245-1247.It is a Latin document written in Europe in 1247 and so the Mongol names in this source are European Latin interpetations of Mongol names and not the names as they would have been found in their

native form.

CONCERNING THE NAMES IAIN, IAN, AND EOIN Iain is a modern Scottish Gaelic name, derived from Eoin but considered distinct from it in the same way that Jane and Joan are distinct in modern English.

evidence.

So, given that in Gaelic we have twelve consonant letters (ignoring h for the moment) b, c, d, f, g, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, that means theoretically there could be up to 48 different actual sounds -- but luckily, some of them overlap!

Medieval Scotland

Last updated 3 May 2007 This is a collection of articles and resources aimed at anyone interested in Scotland between A.D. 500 and 1603, from about when the King of Dál Riata moved from Ireland to Argyll to when King James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne. Because medieval Scotland was not isolated from its surroundings in either space or time, there are also some articles concerning related regions and the focus time span is somewhat flexible. Some of the articles discuss not only what was done in Scotland in the Middle Ages but also how modern people might re-create aspects of medieval Scottish culture. While this may be of direct interest mainly to novelists and historical re-creators (such as those involved with battle re-enactment societies, renaissance fairs, or the SCA), this way of looking at things can also help clarify and illustrate actual medieval practice for anyone.

For example, some names and naming practices that many people today believe to be medieval are purely modern. Other names and naming practices which were used in one medieval culture are now mistakenly believed to have been used in others. Other common misconceptions concern the medieval pronunciation of a name or whether it was used by men or women in the Middle Ages. If there are common misconceptions about any aspect of the pre-1600 use of a name or naming practice, it may be a "Problem Name". (23 Jul 2010)

* 19TH CENTURY MAPS

* Old-Maps.co.uk Searchable & zoomable versions of the UK Ordnance Survey County Series 1:10,560 scale First Edition maps, surveyed from 1846-1899. Not all places shown in the maps show up in the search, however — it seems to include only villages, towns, and cities, but not geographical features or regions. Has links to Ordnance Survey Get-a-map , so you can find an area in the 19th century map and then see a corresponding area of a modern map.
