Came across this site by Ian MacHays which some of you may find interesting.

He puts forward the possibility that King Clinoch of Strathclyde may have been the real King Arthur. He also gives some great insight into the history of Strathclyde and the area of Drumchapel in particular.

Do you know what I like about "history"? It is always "his" story. And, the farther back you go, the more it becomes "my" story.

Take King Arthur. He has become a "citizen" of so many countries that he even has a presence in Kentucky and his brother is buried in Tennessee.

Who knows, there is no concrete proof when it comes to Arthur. He is linked to so many of the celtic areas of the British Isles.
