  Is there a connection between Scotland and Macedonia? Interestingly, we have to mention here that we talk about connections that some of the Scots themselves trace with the ancient Macedonians. So we can discover the following statement on the homepage of the well known scottish Gordon Clan: The origin of the Gordon clan in Scotland was not Gaelic. The Gordon clan is originally from Normandy, where their ancestors are said to have had large possessions. From the great antiquity of the race, many fabulous accounts have been given of the descent of the Gordons. Some derive them from a city of Macedonia, called Gordonia (close to modern day Gevgelija) .  Some Scottish sources seem to testify to an origin from the city of "Gordonia" (near Gevgelija, near the Macedonian-Greek border). Sir Walter Scott also tells us that the Scottish forces under William Wallace would "resemble those of the Macedonian phalanx": The favourite Scottish order of battle somewhat resembled t...

The Tragedy at Macedonia: A EUROPEAN SCANDAL by The Maitland Weekly Mercury, Sat 28 Sep 1907,  Page 13 One of the most 'pungent bits of journalistic literature during the month (says 'life') is Mr. llarold Spender's description of the state of things in Macedonia, in the London 'Daily Chronicle':  'It is the most amazing thing in the world to-day.'

Secure in her mate rial comforts, Europe looks on placidly at the murder and torture of innocent peasants. 'The news from Macedonia grows worse every day. Favoured by Turkey, the Greek bands, splendidly financed and organised—of...

The Macedonian newspaper Nova Makedonija with an article about the research of Dr. Jovan Trifunoski, who conducted research in Skopje and the surrounding area in the early 1950s (described in the text as Skopsko Pole = Skopje Valley). He came to the conclusion that there is not a single Albanian family in the valley that does not have a migration background. In short, the Albanians once immigrated to Macedonia. Trifunovski researched further and came to the conclusion that most Albanians even know where they came from, who their ancestors are who immigrated to Macedonia and even the migration routes, i.e. possible intermediate stops of the family before they finally reached Macedonia, could be reproduced by themselves. Today the Albanian doctrine and propaganda tries to give the Albanians an "autochthonous" status. With abbreviation theories that fabricate a direct descent from Illyrians and Dardans without solid academic foundations in order to assert claims in Macedonia, an...
