Dalriada was a Scots-Irish kingdom in the first millenium, stretching along the west coast of Scotland and the north-eastern corner of Northern Ireland.
When Dalriada was founded in 1991, many computer companies were naming themselves and their products after Greco-Roman names and terms (Zeus, Apollo, Alpha, Delta, etc), and we wanted to be different.
As Dalriada was founded by a Scots-Irish person, it seemed sensible to break out and emphasise the creative Celtic traditions. We hope that the applications we publish unleash some of the creativity there was in the Celtic kingdoms during the Dark Ages (when Dalriada existed)!
Dalriada is primarily a software technology business. We do not only publish our own software, but we have also created software packages for professional and educational use, which are published and sold by other software houses.
We develop leading-edge technologies, eg. in the fields of:
We are also active in Human-Computer Interface research, again specialising in interactive editing suites.
