Well, we know there were links between Scotland and the Islamic world in the twelfth century. In 1105, king Edgar of Scotland gave a gift of a camel (described by the Annals of Inisfallen as animal mirae magnitudinis, “an animal of remarkable size”) to Muirchertach Ua Briain, then the most powerful king in Ireland. It can’t have been fun for the camel.
