Peter, thanks. I will see if I can pick up the article at the National
Library in Edinburgh. Alan

The Attacotti only appear briefly in 4-5 century
sources and the references are few. One asks
how you get these people pop up and go away
like this and be considered separate from the
other known people of the area? Rance
proposed that they were actually Irish invaders
(ie. Deisi) who pop up at that time. He equates
Attacotti as being the Latin rendition of the
Old Irish aithechthuatha which were client/vassal
people which the Deisi were one. I suggest you
read this as the case presented was quite good.
FYI, Rance is a Professor in antiquities and
Moffat and Kamm are writers.
Best wishes!
Peter
