00:00If your crown traces back to Jerusalem, you might be part Scots.
00:04Seriously, there's a legend.
00:06Hear me out.
00:07After Jerusalem fell around 586 BC,
00:11the tale says the prophet Jeremiah, his scribe Baruch, and T-Tephi,
00:15a princess of King Zedekiah.
00:17They sailed via Egypt to the Isles of the West.
00:22T-Tephi supposedly married the Irish high king Aokide,
00:26merging Judah's royal line with Ireland's Milesians,
00:30and some claim the Leah fail, the stone of destiny, came too.
00:35Jeremiah is even linked to the sage Ullam Fodla credited with law and learning in Ireland.
00:41Caveat, sources are largely late and controversial fascinating folklore, not settled history.
