History of the Scottish Nation. VOL 1 Introduction (Page 1)

A history that had been hidden!

Dr. Wylie's book was published in 1886. It disappeared from off the face of the earth at the turn of the century. Even the copy in the Library of Congress was stolen. We are confident that if the book had remained in general circulation they would be no divided Ireland today!!

A true knowledge of history is critical. . . . Rome has poisoned the wells of history, and multitudes of all lands have drunk that contaminated water. When you are sick physically the first question the doctor asks is about your medical history in order to effect a cure. The same is true in a spiritual sense. . . . Woe unto the people whose historians are their enemies!!

Ireland was always the true home of the Scots. The name of the country was changed around 1200 A.D. St. Patrick in his "Confession" mentions the sons of the Scotti and the daughters of the chieftains, especially one blessed Irish princess that he baptized (una benedicta Scota). All writers up to the 12th century refer to the inhabitants of Hibernia as the >Scottish Tribes.

Brian Boru (930 to 1014) High King of Ireland and victor over the Vikings at Clontarf has his name inscribed in the Book of Armagh as imperatoris Scotorum that is: Emperor of the Scots.

In the year 1150, a famous book was written by Christian Malone, Abbot of Clonmacnoise, entitled Chronicum Scotorum. It is a chronology of Ireland from the Flood to the 12th century.

The Scotland of today was then called Caledonia or Alban and was inhabited by a people called Picts. When God's chosen people were taken captive to Babylon in the Old Testament, the first thing the King of Babylon did was to change their names!!

St. Patrick is the Apostle of the Scots on both sides of the Irish Channel. Both people fought the same enemies for centuries, Vikings, Danes, Anglo-Normans etc., etc. Jesus said that the gates of hell would not prevail against the true church and we find remnants of the Gaelic Church surviving right down to the Reformation.
