WikiProject Dogs To-do:

Here are some tasks you can do to help with WikiProject Dogs:

Fife, Dog People, etc.

I've removed this, tagged as unsourced since Jan 2008:

"The forest dwelling tribes of the Fife and the east coast were known as Cu Sìth during Roman times, for their ability to launch ambush attacks then disappear into the forests like 'Fairy Hounds'. The south of Fife has long been associated with societies of 'dog people'. The name of the town of Kincardine is derived from the Pictish for 'woodland of the dogs'. Nearby Culross mean 'headland of the dogs'.

I'm truly curious - well, sort of... - as to what the Roman-period source for the "forest dwelling" "Cu Sìth" might be! Enaidmawr (talk) 23:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
