Sobre IBD

Scotia in the old language means scavenger, one who makes the most of the materials at hand. Many people think Scots are tight. Scots think they are thrifty. Read about some of the Scots who made it into Celtic folklore. Travel with them to the foreign wars; join the caravans; sip coffee at Lloyds where the big deals were made. Find out why a warrior loaded with loot would choose to live in a cot and eat oatmeal.Not all warriors had swords; some of them went to battle with a stick, or a knife, or a quarterstaff. They usually left the battle with an assortment of loot including swords, armor, chain mail, horses, and gold.
