The Place of The Gaels - Scottish Winter Climbing | Rab Equipment
Scottish Winters are such a strong inspiration behind the heritage of Rab Equipment, the birth place of Rab Carrington.
Rab has always been inextricably linked to Scotland. It is our founder's place of birth and while he built his company in the heart of industrial Sheffield, it is Scotland that has always inspired our work. Scottish Winter, more taxing and forbidding than the alpine playgrounds of Europe and a spartan training for greater objectives around the globe has always driven our passion for producing hard-wearing, long-lasting mountain clothing. It was this source of inspiration that we most wanted to share when we brought some of our US Team to Scotland in January 2017. The weather was a little more temperamental than we'd hoped, but they persevered, finding in the people, the ...

The term Scot is not as straightforward as it may sound. To many, Scot simply refers to anyone from Scotland. Although this may be true, Scot was also the name given to a cultural and territorial group that occupied the western part of ancient Scotland.
Historically, Scotland was made up of numerous peoples, including the Picts, the Britons, the Angles, and the Scots (also known as the Gaels). In fact, it was the merger of two of these groups, the western Scots and the northern Picts, that created the first early Scottish kingdom in the 9th century AD, known as the Kingdom of Alba. The Picts and the Scots had previously fought on the same side, including in 297AD, when a Roman writer spoke of the “Picts and Irish [meaning Scots] attacking” the Roman forces at Hadrian’s Wall.
The Scots inhabited the western region of modern Scotland, known as Argyll (meaning Coast of the Gaels). A Gaelic kingdom ruled this region of ancient Scotland and parts of ancient Ireland for centuries, known as Dál Riata. This kingdom speaks to the connections that have existed for centuries between parts of Scotland and Ireland.
In fact, when you hear Gael, you may think of Ireland, and for good reason. Those history buffs out there will also know that for centuries, Ireland was also commonly referred to as Scotia. This was because Scoti was originally the Latin name used by the Romans for the Gaels in general, whether in Ireland or Scotland. As well as Hibernia, the Romans referred to Ireland as Scotia. This make things quite confusing, as early Ireland and Scotland were both referred to as Scotia for centuries.
It seems that somewhere around the 10th and 11th centuries AD, Scotia began to refer mostly to what we today call Scotland. However, Ireland was still called Scotia, or a variation of Scotia, at times. At one point around the Scottish Wars of Independence in the 14th century, Ireland was referred to as Scotia Major (greater Scotia), and Scotland as Scotia Minor (lesser Scotia).
References to Scotia can also be found in various mythological stories of Ireland and Scotland, mainly in reference to Scota. In one mythological account, Scota, the daughter of an Egyptian pharaoh, is said to have married Nel, who was the son of a Scythian king, Fénius Farsaid. Scota and Nel then had a son, called Goídel Glas, who is said to have created the Goidelic languages, three of which still exist today: Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Manx from the Isle of Man.
This family and their descendants are said to have spend time in Egypt, before fleeing to the Iberian region of Spain and Portugal, to then finally settle in Ireland. Therefore, in certain mythological accounts, Scota and her ancestors are said to be the ancient ancestors of the Scots or Gaels.
As with many origin stories, the question always becomes: where does mythology end and history begin?

Scottish Winters are such a strong inspiration behind the heritage of Rab Equipment, the birth place of Rab Carrington.
Rab has always been inextricably linked to Scotland. It is our founder's place of birth and while he built his company in the heart of industrial Sheffield, it is Scotland that has always inspired our work. Scottish Winter, more taxing and forbidding than the alpine playgrounds of Europe and a spartan training for greater objectives around the globe has always driven our passion for producing hard-wearing, long-lasting mountain clothing. It was this source of inspiration that we most wanted to share when we brought some of our US Team to Scotland in January 2017. The weather was a little more temperamental than we'd hoped, but they persevered, finding in the people, the landscapes and the climbing, the spark of magic that makes Scotland so special.

Gallowglass Warriors: The Norse-Gael Mercenaries of Ireland and Scotland
MacSweeneys and MacCabes are popular and common surnames in certain parts of the world today. Yet, perhaps unknown to many, a major element of the history of these clans was as part of a class of elite mercenaries who went on to become a key fixture in Irish warfare for centuries, feared for their fighting prowess. They were known as Gallowglass, meaning foreign young warriors.
They are thought to have been the descendants of Norse settlers of Western Scotland in the 10th century, who then intermarried with the local Gaelic population. These Norse-Gael mercenaries went on to play an important role in Irish warfare from around the 13th to the 16th century, with these heavily armoured, well-trained fighters among the ranks of virtually every army across Ireland at various times.
These men were selected for their stature and ferocity, as a description from 1600 states: "Pycked and selected men of great and mightie bodies, crewell without compassion. The greatest force of the battell consisteth in them, chosinge rather to dye then to yeelde, so that when yt cometh to handy blowes they are quickly slayne or win the feilde."
They were armed with massive 6-foot tall battle axes (potentially influence by their Norse heritage) and a broadsword or claymore, in addition to spears and other throwing weapons. Most were accompanied by a man as their harness bearer and a boy to carry provisions. Some sources argue that Gallowglass were also often accompanied by a few Kerns as well, who were lightly armoured Irish infantry.
Chieftains in Ireland would often employ Gallowglass warriors as their personal bodyguards, as they were often considered less likely to be influenced by local feuds and politics, and thus, to stab their chieftain in the back. In general, the Gallowglass were often employed for seasonal campaigns. Prior to the advent of gunpowder, the Gallowglass were a major part of warfare in Ireland.
The roots of the Gallowglass were in Argyll and the Western Isles of Scotland, and potentially in certain Norse settlements in Ulster. Given the Gaelic links between the West of Scotland and Ireland, the Gallowglass were known to integrate easily into Ireland, especially given that they shared the same language.

Gallowglass Warriors: The Norse-Gael Mercenaries of Ireland and Scotland
MacSweeneys and MacCabes are popular and common surnames in certain parts of the world today. Yet, perhaps unknown to many, a major element of the history of these clans was as part of a class of elite mercenaries who went on to become a key fixture in Irish warfare for centuries, feared for their fighting prowess. They were known as Gallowglass, meaning foreign young warriors.
They are thought to have been the descendants of Norse settlers of Western Scotland in the 10th century, who then intermarried with the local Gaelic population. These Norse-Gael mercenaries went on to play an important role in Irish warfare from around the 13th to the 16th century, with these heavily armoured, well-trained fighters among the ranks of virtually every army across Ireland at various times.
These men were selected for their stature and ferocity, as a description from 1600 states: "Pycked and selected men of great and mightie bodies, crewell without compassion. The greatest force of the battell consisteth in them, chosinge rather to dye then to yeelde, so that when yt cometh to handy blowes they are quickly slayne or win the feilde."
They were armed with massive 6-foot tall battle axes (potentially influence by their Norse heritage) and a broadsword or claymore, in addition to spears and other throwing weapons. Most were accompanied by a man as their harness bearer and a boy to carry provisions. Some sources argue that Gallowglass were also often accompanied by a few Kerns as well, who were lightly armoured Irish infantry.
Chieftains in Ireland would often employ Gallowglass warriors as their personal bodyguards, as they were often considered less likely to be influenced by local feuds and politics, and thus, to stab their chieftain in the back. In general, the Gallowglass were often employed for seasonal campaigns. Prior to the advent of gunpowder, the Gallowglass were a major part of warfare in Ireland.

Dougie MacLean's most famous pieces include "The Gael", from his 1990 album The Search, which was adapted by Trevor Jones as the main theme to The Last of the Mohicans (1992); and "Caledonia", from his first album. The World Famous Royal Scots Dragoon Guards have been at the forefront of Pipe music since first achieving world wide fame in 1972 when their haunting version of "Amazing Grace" rocketed to the top of the charts all around the world.The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards are Scotland`s senior regiment and only regular cavalry regiment. The Regiment was formed in 1971 from the amalgamation of the 3rd Carabiniers ( whom were themselves the result of the amalgamation of the 6th Dragoon Guards the Carabiniers and the 3rd the Prince of Wales Dragoon Guards in 1922) and The Royal Scots Greys (2nd Dragoons).
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards are Scotland’s most senior and only regular cavalry regiment, formed in 1678. The Regiment has recently re-rolled to Light Cavalry after 75 years in tanks and has also moved from Germany to Fife. The Regiment is currently undergoing training to be at readiness as the Light Cavalry Regiment of choice.
The new role of Light Cavalry is at the forefront of the British Army’s organisation, primarily as a mounted combat unit, but also working alongside other armies around the world. The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards form the main armoured force for the 7th Armoured Brigade, The Famous Desert Rats.
A view of the Scottish scenery taken from across Scotland.
Accompanied by the music Last of the Mohicans (The Gael) by The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards from the Spirit Of The Glen Album. Available @ iTunes
