520 _a"Celtic Scotland: A History of Ancient Alban. Volume 2 (of 3), Church and Culture" by William F. Skene is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the intricate history of the early Celtic Church in Scotland, exploring its influence on the culture of the region and the challenges faced in understanding its origins. Skene seeks to present a narrative based on authentic sources, free from the ecclesiastical biases that have historically clouded the subject. The opening of the book sets the stage by outlining the context in which early Celtic churches evolved, focusing on the periods of isolation after the Roman withdrawal from Britain and the subsequent re-establishment of ties with the European mainland. Skene discusses the activities of early church figures such as Saint Ninian and offers insights into the establishment of the Christian faith among the Picts and Scots. He emphasizes the complexities surrounding the early ecclesiastical history of Scotland, including the controversies arising from varying practices concerning the celebration of Easter. The early chapters promise a detailed exploration of these foundational figures and the evolution of the Celtic Church’s structure and influence on Scottish society.
