"A self-proclaimed tribe who have set up camp in a Scottish forest say they have been attacked by locals throwing rocks and shouting abuse. The so-called Kubala Kingdom established itself earlier this year in woodland near Jedburgh, about 41 miles south of Edinburgh, saying they were reclaiming land supposedly taken from their ancestors in the Highlands 400 years ago. Jean Gasho, 43, who styles herself as Queen Nandi, posted footage online this week showing members of the public confronting her group."
"She alleged that bricks were thrown, children hurled rocks, and adults shouted abuse and insults. One man in the videos is heard saying, This is a... cult and I will always stick to that. The skirmishes have prompted a local official to call for calm despite saying that the claims of the tribe are ludicrous. Ms Gasho, who is Zimbabwean, lives at the camp"
