The kingdom of Alt Clut, borders, battles and religion

We know that there was an old Brittonic kingdom of Alt Clut that extended over Loch Lomond and beyond, but can we determine what its borders were? This episode explores the evidence that helps to establish them as far as possible. We'll also look into what placenames tell us about early Christianity on the lochside, but also what links there might be back to earlier beliefs.
