Dalriada Film

The Dalriada Project
Aims to protect and enhance the cultural and natural heritage and promote access and enjoyment of this incredibly beautiful and valuable area of Scotland.

The Dalriada area is an outstanding landscape of international renown. It is the ancient birthplace of the Scottish nation, centred on Dunadd, crowning place of its kings.

Here you can see the visible remains of thousands of years of human occupation; we have one of the densest concentrations of archaeological monuments of anywhere in Scotland and the highest concentration of prehistoric rock art in Europe!




There is also a diverse natural history of wildlife habitats and unique landscapes including Atlantic woodlands, stunningly beautiful coastlines, mires and hills.

Dalriada also contains a living monument to our industrial heritage, the Crinan Canal, which continues to work its way through the landscape.

Scotland's royal dynasties were Gaelic, descendants of the Irish.

@Calengela BS. The existence of this kingdom shows otherwise. Those "original hunter-gatherers" were the Gaels. And if people in the west have something in common genetically with mediterranean farmers, you still don't know who came from who. The Picts spoke Brythonic, a Celtic tongue. The history of Scotland tells the story of a Gaelic people. Read the Carmina Gadelica before you discount this.

The DNA studies which have been carried out in Scotland show an ancient story. Most people being descendants of the original hunter gatherers who arrived here after the last ice age. But a few people (especially in the western islands) being descendants of farmers from the eastern Mediterranean who arrived during more recent neolithic times. However they were indigenous and more related to the Picts than the Irish, they certainly didn't come from Ireland.
