I’m very open minded when it comes to new theories, but it’s really hard for me to accept Scots could get to NZ using the naval technology of the 12th Century. This isn’t a hop across the Atlantic, but the longest voyage in the world for Europeans with months out of sight of land.
They were probably on a bender.

Please do not call we Gael/Celts — nor our ancestors — “europeons.”
And nor are we “britons.”
Afford us at least a little of the dignity we have earned — and continue to earn!
