Experimental Highland and Galwegian

This list represents the fringes of Gaelic Scottish society, from just after the union of the Kingdoms of the Picts and Scots in the late 9th century until the more rise of the feudal Scottish state (roughly 900 AD -1200 AD). At certain times, the Highlands and Galloway were incorporated more or less directly into the Kingdom of Scotland, such as during the reign of MacBeth. However, for the most part, these areas remained fiercely independent and prone to inter-clan warfare. While most wars were waged within the specific regions, Highlanders and Galwegians can be found fighting for and against Scots, Saxons, Vikings, Islemen and, most notably, each other.
