Tribal dispute
There was no Scotland until about the year 1000; it gradually began to join with others about 600 years later. Prior to this, where I live was (I believe) part of Northumbria. To which particular tribe is she referring?
Bearing in mind how the Scottish border has moved over the centuries, exactly which land does she refer to?
