Novantae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Novantae was a Celtic tribe located in Galloway in modern Scotland. Their base was around the Rhins of Galloway, a southern peninsula jutting into the Irish Sea. The tribe was known to the Romans as a trading partner. The important early Christian centre of Whithorn (Candida Casa) lay in the territory of the Novantae, and the hill fort at Mote of Mark appears to have been a significant centre of trade.

In post-Roman times the region inhabited by the Novantae was known as Nouant, and was contested by the British kingdoms of Gododdin, Rheged and Alt Clut, and later by the Anglo-Saxons of Bernicia.
