The
History of Dalriada
The Dalriada
Celtic Heritage Trust
(originally Society), based in Arran, have amassed a great
storehouse of Gaelic and Celtic information and documents.
They also have a Celtic quarterly newsletter and subscription
and membership information may be found there. The Trust is
dedicated to preserving and restoring the Celtic culture.
The
heritage of what we now call the Scottish people have their
roots set firmly in the history of Dalriada, particularly the
people of the Western Isles and Highlands - The Gaidheal. It
is for this reason that this Trust carries the name of
Dalriada. Dalriada was the name of the people who came here
from Ireland and whom the Romans called the Scots. The
earliest knowledge we have of them comes from when they were
still in Ireland. At that time there were four septs or main
families of the Erainn stock, who were considered to be a
section of the original inhabitants of Eire. These four septs
were named the Muscraige, Corco Duibne, Corco Baiscind and Dal
Riata, who came from three sons of Conaire Mor called Cairpre
Musc, Cairpre Baschain and Cairpre Riata. These four septs of
the Erainn migrated from Breg in the north of Ireland to
Munster in the south. No reason is given as to why they
traveled south, although it is probable that their own family
lands could no longer contain them.
