The little-known and gory history that binds Glasgow and Edinburgh to Wales
24.04.2022 - 16:13 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The 'Old North' is perhaps the lesser known region of Wales when it comes to looking at Welsh history.
Today, it stands as northern England and the southern part of the Scottish lowlands.
The region is rich with Brythonic and Celtic history, which several centuries ago included groups of kingdoms, gory battles, and poetry. Traces of this land can still be found in place names to this day, Wales Online reports.
Here, we take a look at the little-known and gory history that binds Wales to cities such as Glasgow, Edinburgh and Carlisle with the help of Glen George’s Welsh language book A New Look at the Old North.
Place names: Glasgow, Edinburgh and Carlisle
As mentioned, 'The Old North', or Yr Hen Ogledd in Welsh, is the historical term that describes the area between the southern parts of Scotland and Lancashire in the fifth century after the Roman period.
For some time, southwest Wales was considered our Wales by individuals of the North, however, following the battle of Chester in 615, the land was split into two countries.
The most well-known kingdoms of Yr Hen Ogledd were Rheged and Gododdin – where Cumbria, Northumberland and East Lothian of Scotland is based today.
But, by the ninth century, Ystrad Clud or the kingdom of Strathclyde became the main state for the Old Welsh. They would speak a language called Cymbrieg or Cumbraek, which was a language similar to Welsh.
There are traces of Welsh in place names to this day.
For example 'Cum' comes from the word 'Cwm', which is used to describe a community of Welsh people that lived there. 'Car' comes from 'Caer' and 'Blen' or 'Blin' comes from 'Blaen' and 'Mel' or 'Meal' in certain place names comes from the Welsh word 'Moel'.
