The leader of a self-styled African tribe living in a Scottish woodland has vowed his group will stay put despite a court order stating the encampment should be removed.

A sheriff on Friday issued a warrant for the removal of the so-called Kingdom of Kubala, which has been camped near Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders for the past few weeks.

FNN asked a former sheriff of Jedburgh, Rab C Nesbitt, for comment and he told us:

This whole thing is messin' wi' ma' heed! Anyone for a bevy!

The three Africans are rumoured to have been running a vape shop in the leafy Glasgow suburb of Govan until they decamped to the forest to reclaim land they say was stolen from them 400 years ago.

This was around 1633 when King Charles 1 came to Scotland for his coronation as King of Scots, after which he signed the Proclamation of Kubala which granted land to the Kubalan diaspora (4 people) in Scotland.

The proclamation is largely forgotten today as it was written in an African-Gaelic variant known as Kwanzic that no-one understood then or now.
