The Lord Lyon in charge of Heraldry in Scotland is still entitled to call himself the Lord High Seannachaidh, a druid title for the Kings Druid Genealogist, a person that recited the Kings genealogy and the great deeds of his ancestors all the way back to the deity his people were descended from. The two main courts are still called the Samhuinn Court and the Beltane Court.

The Druid'd Bardic Schools lasted into the 17th century in Scotland, till it was realised passing down an oral history and tradition was going on still. (100 years longer they lasted than anywhere else).

Stories of hedge druids were still common in the 1800's. I remember the story there was still a druid living in Holyrood Park at the Cat's Nick till the middle of that century, and when he died the blocked off the cave. Votive offerings of a druidic nature were found there still in 1836 too, dunno if its twilight rennaissance druids or not though.

I remember reading that the Napiers herbalists family could trace themselves back to druids too, again, dunno if its twilight rennaissance druids or not though.

Theres still a herd of the sacred sacrifice cattle in Scotland. They are white with black and red snouts and ears, and look a bit like aurochs. Older breed than the so called hairy highland coo.
