Gareth of Orkney Robin Meader





Gareth wants to be like his brothers as all of his brothers are Knights of the Round table. He travels from Scotland to England. Its a long way to  travel to Camelot where he wants to be knighted. We  don't know where abouts in England  Camelot existed but we  do know that the Sword   in the Stone was found at  different sites  in England. One version of the story is that a maiden  threw  the sword to where King Arthur was, over a lake.This leads  us to think that Camelot was by a lake. We think that this lake could have been Chew valley or Wetlands in Taunton so Camelot may have been Cadbury Castle in Glastonbury.

This proves that  Gareth has independence in moving from Scotland to England.  People can travel now  on a  public bus anywhere in the Uk with their bus  pass but in Gareth's time Gareth had a     brave heartt because he travelled on horse back from Orkney Castle to Camelot.

I remember a film called brave heart with Mel Gibson which show the strength of the celtic people.
