Just posted this month's issue. It was something I'ld be interested in being disproved on.
Were Highlanders wearing knee length tartan "coats" with buttons in the late 16th early 17th century? I've have not seen evidence of it.

Since I already do a monthly Celtic history newsletter, I figured I might as well turn some of what I find into a blog of Celtic history and archeology in the news: https://celtichist.wordpress.com/

Had fun this month looking into some of the (questionable) legends about the origins of the events in the Highland games

I also had several positive comments on last month's issue describing a DNA study which seemed to show that the majority of people in the British Isles are actually descended from people who came from the Iberian Peninsula.
