This page shows a list of my blogposts dealing with the realm of the Clyde Britons in its several manifestations (Damnonii/Dumnonii, Alt Clut, Ystrad Clud). As well as Senchus I run two other blogs, both of which deal with the early medieval period. In the following list, posts marked HK are published at Heart of the Kingdom, my blog about early medieval Govan. Those marked SASVA are at my blog on Viking-era topics. The rest can be found here at Senchus. Simply click on a title and follow the link.

The history of the Clyde Britons from Roman times to c.1100 is covered in my book The Men of the North: the Britons of Southern Scotland (Edinburgh, 2010). A study of their kingdom in the Viking period (ninth to eleventh centuries) can be found in Strathclyde and the Anglo-Saxons in the Viking Age (Edinburgh, 2014).
