Old Photographs Mugdock Scotland

Old photograph of Mugdock located two miles North of Milngavie, Scotland. In the past the hamlet had more significance. In the year 750 a battle was recorded in the Annals of Ulster has having taken place between the Picts and the Britons. Talorgan son of Uurgust, brother of Unust king of the Picts, died there. The battle is also recorded by the medieval Welsh text Annales Cambriae which names the battle site as Mocetauc. This is fairly plausibly explained as Mugdock, which lies roughly in the area where the ancient Pictish and British kingdoms must have met.
