Near Jedburgh, Scotland, in the forest area, a small group asserting they belong to an ancient African tribe has made their home, causing surprise among locals. The group, referred to as the Kingdom of Kubala, includes three individuals: King Atehene, Queen Nandi, and a young woman from Texas named Kaura Taylor, who goes by the name Asnat.

The kingdom of Kubala claims its origins lie in both African and Scottish heritage. They assert that they are heirs to indigenous Black Jacobites—black Highlanders who resided in Scotland more than four centuries ago. The group states that Queen Elizabeth I exiled their forebears, compelling them to flee to the Americas and Africa. As per their convictions, they are coming back to reclaim territory that had been lost from their ancestors’ possession.

King Atehene, formerly recognized as the opera performer Kofi Offeh, along with Queen Nandi lead a modest existence closely tied to the natural world. They wash using mountain stream water, reside in tents, and depend on the resources provided by the earth. This community adheres to the teachings of their deity, Yahowah, and refuses to acknowledge local governmental regulations or notice of removals.

Kaura Taylor left Texas to be part of a community along with her young child following her escape from an abusive home environment. Her relatives learned where she was located only after she ceased communicating with them. She claims she is content residing within the tribe and requests officials not interfere with her life.

Local authorities and law enforcement know about the group’s existence and are taking steps to handle the matter by offering guidance and assistance regarding accommodation, yet the tribe remains determined to remain. The community has responded in varied ways to their arrival; some show interest while others feel unsettled due to their distinct way of life and assertions.

The kingdom of Kubala aims to expand and reintegrate additional displaced communities into the territory they consider their true homeland, incorporating their African roots and Scottish past into their distinct sense of self.
