Grindlecat said - how do you 'invent' a kilt...its a piece of cloth isnt it! by that standard, evrybody who got arouind to weaving, 'invented' the kilt!
You could say the same for bagpipes. Anyone who had a spare pig etc.

Hadn't noticed that, but not my fault i just cut and pasted it,
I read a book while in Orkney that a machine driver gave which claimed the Trojen war was actual over Tin in Cornwall can't remember the argument but does anyone have any further information on this or should i start a new thread

There's a book called "Where Troy Once Stood" by Iman Jacob Wilkins which has Troy in Cambridgeshire, which in this sort of fantasy world is not that far from Cornwall.

Maybe thats the one, but i am sure it had Maiden castle in the mix , which is a bit closure to cornwall i guess,
Any other ones ????

I was in the British Museum on Tuesday and there has been faience objects discovered in Britain dating to the Iron Age, which I wasn't aware of previously.
Not that I'm agreeing with the rest of the article!

Maggie, im alarmed! "You could say the same for bagpipes. Anyone who had a spare pig etc.".....are you suggesting that bagpipes were the product of an idle moment, contemplating the possibilities of a pig and a load of hollow reeds....i thought they were the product of a highly musically evolved people....obviousley Celts, who then gave the idea to the visiting Egyptian fiaence bead sellers....in their wee boat

I often contemplate pigs and other swine-related animals and a pile of hollow reeds I keep by my desk... still. it passes the time...
listen to this... squeal piggy squeal .... my ears are bleeding (which is why we sent him to London!)

Grindlecat - well the thing is there are and I don't think there ever was pigs on the Lamb island (the one owned by Uri Geller), only lots of birds, there weren't even lambs. I suppose my point is that there are many countries who have some form of bagpipes, Bulgaria for example uses the body of a pig (or maybe a goat) we in Scotland have covered everything in tartan but you can bet an animal was involved originally.
