A mere 600 million years ago “Scotland – and north-western Ireland – were part of a continent (Laurentia) that also included what is now North America. To the south-east, near the Antarctic Circle, meanwhile, you would have found Southern Ireland, England and Wales.”
This left me to indulge in a little fantasy history. It would be possible for a (very brave) revisionist to reinterpret the history of Ireland as one of Scotch/Irish conflict, rather than English domination. One of those family quarrels which an outsider intrudes upon at their peril
Which means that Deep History must be even deeper than we thought.
