A couple who say they are members of an African royal dynasty are attempting to claim a Scottish woodland as territory for their 'lost tribe' in reparations for an act of by Elizabeth I 400 years ago.
Kofi Offeh, 36, from Ghana and Jean Gasho, 42, from Zimbabwe, call themselves the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Kubala and are living in tents in the forest of Jedburgh, having renounced local laws and regulations.
The couple have been joined by American Kaura Taylor from Texas, now known as Asnat or Lady Safi, who is described as their 'handmaiden' and servant.
Calling themselves King Atehehe, Queen Nandi and handmaiden Asnat, they first settled on Scottish Borders Council property before being served with an eviction notice.
The group set up their base in Roxburghshire, Scotland after having lived in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham.
