Is there a connection between Scotland and Macedonia?

  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...

Letters by Greek soldiers about the massacres in Aegean Macedonia - 1913

The Hellenic army is burning all slavophonic villages and kills all slavophones it captures! It can be seen from the letters by Greek soldiers sent from the front the horror that the Macedonian population in the towns and villages under Greek occupation faced. The bloody collection of about hundred letters should have been delivered to the addresses through the Greek Army’s military post office, but after it was captured by the Bulgarian Army in Razlog on 14 July 1913, the letters were made public. It is a fearsome collection of authentic testimonies that were taken to the State Archives in Sofia in 1913, as Ljubomir Miletic PhD claims. In those letters, the Greek soldiers bragged to their relatives and friends that they hadn’t left a single Slavophone alive wherever they went, that they had raped all the Slavic Macedonian women and that they had burned all the Slavophonic villages. One hundred years ago After the Ottoman army left Macedonia, Serbs, Bulgarians and Greeks wante...
