  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...

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.

Petar Bogdanov or Albanized Pjetër Bogdani (Italian Pietro Bogdano, born around 1630 in Gur i Hasit near Kukës; died December 1689 in Pristina) was a Catholic Bishop of Shkodra and Archbishop of Skopje and an important author of early Albanian literature. Pjetër Bogdani - Pietro Bogdano - Petar Bogdanov His book Cuneus Prophetarum, written in 1685, is regarded as the first significant prose work in Albanian language. The fact that generally receives no attention, on the title page of this work the author calls himself: Petro Bogdano - Macedone . According to the ' official historiography ', Pjetër Bogdani's family belonged to the "narrow elite of the Catholic Albanians", but perhaps one should consider, rather, he was simply a Catholic from Albania. The young Bogdani received his first training in the Franciscan monastery of Tschiprowzi in northwestern Bulgaria. Later he studied at the Illyrian (= Slavic) seminar in Loreto in Italy. From 1651 to 1654 he worked as ...
