Talk:Arthur's Seat

message: Recently published research ( http://www.grahamphillips.net/Books/Arthur.htm ) would give more substance to the reason behind the name of Arthur's Seat. If it is true that the legendary person nick-named Arthur was the grandson of the Votadini chieftain Cunedda, who was invited to Gwynedd by the British kings, along with a migration of Votadini warriors and their families, to escape the Pict and Scotti pressures from the North and East, to join the British kings in their efforts to stave of the Anglo-Saxon invasion, then, it would make perfect sense to refer to Arthur's Seat as the ancestral seat of the Arthurian dynasty of British kings.

replies: text: Sounds sensational, but there is the connection of the reference to Arthur in Y Gododdin and the Gododdin association with Edinburgh, both under that name and under their Roman era name of Votadini. Strikes me as being a mythical name. ... dave souza, talk 18:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Arthur's Seat used to be called Craggenmarf which is a corruption of Gaelic "Creag nam Marbh". That's a traditional Gaelic name. Sorry, but you're talking claptrap and I'm amazed no one has challenged you about it in nearly ten years.-2A01:4C8:141E:3A0C:1:1:A303:151B (talk) 16:02, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

message: I didn't see the need to disambiguate this page so I moved it. The apostrophe creates its own disambiguation and I think this one is by far the best known. Just in case, there is now a dab page at Arthur's Seat (disambiguation). Hope that's ok. --John (talk) 10:11, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Apart from the fact that it used to be called Craggenmarf which is corruption of Creag nam Marbh meaning Rock of the Dead. More misleading info from Wikipedia!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4C8:141E:3A0C:1:1:A303:151B (talk) 16:00, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
