Cellydon

Celyddon

An ancient Welsh name for Scotland. Many believe that the Welsh name gave rise to the more common Old English variant of Caledon, which latter form possibly gave the Romans their name for Scotland, Caledonia.

The later Arthurian cycle named Celyddon as one of the possible sites for one of Arthur's battles. In this guise it possibly cognate with Cat Coit Celidon, or Silva Caledonaie, the Caledonian forest of southern Scotland, or Celidon Wood to the north of Lincoln.
