Wizard Merlin ‘a Scot’

KING Arthur’s legendary wizard Merlin hailed from Glasgow, a new book claims.

For centuries the Welsh and the English have claimed him as their own. And most historians have believed Merlin was a mythical figure.

But a new book by Adam Ardrey claims he was real — and rather than Camelot, lived in a house in what is now the Partick area of Scotland’s biggest city in the year 600.
