What is South east Scotland used to be the ancient kingdoms of Deira and Bernicia, which were Anglo-Saxon (specifically Angle rather than Saxon). Look at the principle city. Edinburgh...Edin-burgh or Odin-burgh...literally Odin’s town.

Odin-burgh, very interesting. Thanks for that tidbit. Odin was claimed by most Angle and Scandanavian dynasties as founder, IIRC.
