Hi r/folk, I need help compiling songs.
I want to find scarce-known songs as well as the well-known ones.
If you know of any songs, or know where to point me to find some, please do!
All help is greatly appreciated.
Hello r/namenerds! I've travelled many times to the Scottish Highlands and taken walks through graveyards and have found many incredible and unique -ina names among the women and girls. Here is a list of them:
Angusina Arthurina Andrewina Campbellina Ernestina Duncanina Dugaldina Edgarina Fergusina Frederickina Francisina Hughina Johnina Jackina Leopoldina Ralphina Thomasina Maxwellina Roderickina Murdochina Magnusina Sydneyina Wallacina Ebenezerina
I want to say these are actually real names (all for girls)! I was very surprised by a few of them. Thomasina is probably the most common of these, but they are all unusual nontheless!
Another was Cathil - for a man. I believe it's pronounced like Cal.
Sorry if this is a bad or irrelevant question but I am basically looking for specifically Gaelic names (ideally in history) and was wondering is Niamh a name used now or historically in Gaelic as Iβve seen AΓfe or Aoife on the Wikipedia page for Gaelic names but not Niamh so Iβm led to believe itβs exclusively Irish?
Thanks so much for reading!

I can't remember the name of crime drama based in a Scottish university. The show is about a girl who got friendly with a group of rich students after moving into uni accomodation. She got invited to elaborate parties with drugs and she knows something is not right. I think some of her friends get exploited and I think the show ended with someone getting murdered and one of her supposed close friends ending up in a psychiatric prison in season two. Any help finding the show would be greatly appreciated.
Similar to another question asked earlier today on the AskReddit sub. As a Scot I'm curious to know. The first person to come to my mind is Robert the Bruce, though he isn't the most famous Scot.
I get that pacifying the Catholics in Ireland was a major priority, but wouldn't reducing the opposition to James VI/I of certain segments of the Scottish and English Protestant populations (and keeping them at arm's length, geographically speaking) also be a factor? Since, from what I understand, those Protestants who were opposed to James VI/VI were even more hostile to Catholicism. What better way to unite the Protestants of the Kingdoms of Scotland and England than to subdue the Catholics of Ireland? (which would also, of course, provide a solution to the Catholics of Ireland being a royal - no pun intended - pain for the King; in other words, it would kill two birds with one stone. )
This is a really fascinating, yet extremely complex, period of history to me. I'm sure I've oversimplified things quite a bit, so any knowledge of/insights into this subject would be greatly appreciated!
It is my understanding that a large portion of the Northern Irish population is of Scottish heritage, to the extent of some even speaking a form of Scot's Gaelic (Ulster Scot's). We have all heard of the colonisation of Ireland via plantation of settlers in the 17th century, how much of this colonialism was a Scottish affair? A large portion of the Settler's were Scottish, and England and Scotland were in a personal union for the most part, led by a Scottish King. Therefore, how big of a role did Scotland play in the colonisation of Ireland?
