@johnlang69 Your ignorance is astounding! The book was written by Irish monks in an Irish monastic settlement in Iona, a mission that was founded in 563 by the Irish monk Saint Columba, who was born in County Donegal, Ireland. The Latin term Scotti (which you refer to) actually refers to the Gaelic-speaking people of Ireland and the Irish who settled in western Scotland. You embarrass with yourself with your CAPITALISED neglect to acquire knowledge before you post such bigoted trivia.

Beautiful music. Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background?
michaeldavid26 7 months ago
@michaeldavid26 According to the videographer, Valley Forge Productions, the music was part of a royalty free package purchased from a company called "Stock20". Sorry, we don't know the exact name. Glad you enjoyed the music!
