The Highland Clans especially those descendants of Dál Riata inherited their kin-based society from the cultural heritage of Dál Riata, however in the Scottish Borders region, the development of clans was a story of survival. During the 13th-17th centuries neither English nor Scottish thrones devoted many resources towards their subjects in the Borders, leading to the kinship based society of the Border developing out of suffering and necessity in which many smaller families unified under larger clans such as the Armstrong’s and Johnstones, as the beneficiaries of their protection. The difficulty and uncertainties of basic human survival meant that communities and/or people kindred to each other would seek security through group strength and cunning, found in what was known as “reiving” which was the raiding and plundering of each side of the border country between the 13th-17th centuries. Reive, a noun meaning raid, comes from the Scots reifen. The verb reave meaning "plunder, rob".

New Nature Reserves Established by Citizens Prove WE Can Save The Planet!
Several initiatives worldwide to restore and preserve nature prove that we don’t have to rely on the government to protect the land. Instead, we, the people, can come together, buy out acres, and turn them into a nature reserve ourselves! A Scottish community recently did it, and another in the UK. Imagine how much of the planet could be saved if more groups follow suit and use community ownership as a catalyst for regeneration with the environment at heart.

Happy Samhain and All Hallows Eve from us at The Wild Folk. Here in Scotland it was traditional to carve out neeps (turnips) in order to provide an illumination to ward off evil spirits at a time in the spiritual calendar when the borders between the lands of the living and dead become perforated.
Carving a turnip is not hard and most stores should sell them. It does however require a bit of hand graft. Cut off a lid, hollow it out by cross hatching the flesh with a knife and scooping with a spoon (keep the neepflesh for a soup or fritters). Then place a candle inside, position it outside your house or in a window sill. It is also customary to leave a saucer of milk or cream for passing benevolent spirits.

I am your regular host Mack Max Mo Megan Elizabeth Morris and we are reporting this morning from Kevin Annett's November 21st broadcast.

This 2011 recording is a medley arranged by Marge Adler and sung by one of my prior incarnations, Megan Elizabeth Morris.

“You see, there were nine hazelnut trees growing around the sacred pool of water created by the well. Nine is a magic number and hazel wood is the ninth tree of the ogham. These were the trees of wisdom. They say the purplish nuts dropped into the pool and the shells came off, leaving ‘kernels of wisdom’ for the salmon to eat.
“Some say there was also a beautiful fountain created by the well as the water surfaced. As the nuts dropped into the pool, the salmon ate the nuts and grew wiser and wiser. Now the salmon is the oldest of animals, so they have accumulated the most wisdom.
“One day a boy seeking to learn poetry finds a giant, who is also a poet, by the banks of the Boyne. The giant had been seeking the salmon for seven years. Now he has found and caught it and is going to cook it. He allows the boy to stir the cauldron but makes the boy promise not to touch or eat the flesh of the salmon. It is for the giant only to eat.
“But while stirring the pot, the juice of the salmon splashes out onto the boy. The boy licks his thumb to soothe the burning feeling. As he does so, he unintentionally breaks the rule. And, by tasting the salmon, he is the one who gets the wisdom. The giant is really mad. But he is also smart. He accepts that it was meant to be. He names the boy Finn, meaning the Fair One. And so it was that from that day forward, Finn could put his thumb in his mouth and foresee the future.
“The rest is a story for another day, as they say.”

"How does Welsh differ from other languages, especially British English?
Welsh is an entirely different language from any English, British included. English and Welsh aren’t even in the same major language family. English is a Germanic language, with a “sister” language Frisian, and Dutch as a 1st cousin language. German is sort of like a 2nd cousin, or maybe 1st cousin once removed.
Welsh is a Celtic language of the Brythonic, or P-Celtic, subfamily. It’s closest fully living relative is Breton, in France. I say “fully living” because Cornish is a close relative of Welsh but has no native speakers, though there is a noticeable attempt to learn and revive it. More distant relatives of Welsh are Irish and Scots Gaelic, but in the Goidelic, or Q-Branch, of Celtic, and not mutually intelligible with Welsh. English and Welsh are ultimately related but their common ancestor, *Proto Indoeuropean, was spoken several thousand years ago.
Perhaps you have heard the term Anglo-Welsh, and your question was prompted by that. Despite the name suggesting it’s a dialect of Welsh, it’s not. It’s a dialect of English. Influenced by Welsh intonation patterns it is, and also has some Welsh-like sentence patterns. When I first heard Yoda speak in Star Wars V, I laughed and said, not very quietly,
Luke: “I’m looking for someone.”
Yoda: “Found someone you have.”
Me: “Cymro ydy fo!
“[A] Welshman he is!”
In my utterances, the first line is Welsh. The second, Anglo-Welsh."
