The History

Dundurn, St Fillans the true Birthplace of Scotland?

In a recent BBC 2 television Series - A History of Scotland*, there was a surprising snippet of information relating to the Old Fort at Dundurn, after which we named this development.

In 889 at the stronghold of Giric, the hill fort of Dundurn, Donald & Constantine led an army and deposed the usurper gaelic king in a bloody battle. The Chronicles of the Kings reflects this change in history, it refers to the Kingdom of Albanium, a gaelic word meaning Scotland and a brand new name for the kingdom and of immense significance.

Donald & Constantine were referred to as the first Kings of Alba. With this one word Scotland is created. This is Scotland's birth certificate and it exists because of the historic events a stone throw from our development.
