Are u saying that picts aren't Scots?

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

So we are going into very early medieval history with this question. Whats important here is most of Scotland and Ireland were inhabited by a people collectively known as Gaels, basically remants of the ancient Celtic culture. Gaelic language is also different to other Celtic languages such as Gallic, making the Gaels a distant linguist relative of the celts. This is probably only because the romans never had a chance to have much of an impact on both Scotland and Ireland, as discussed in this video. The picts were a far away northern celtic tribe that gradually became the hegemonic power over the region. After the roman retreat Scotland was basically divided into areas of influence, the Picts in the north, the Scoti next to them. The Picts and Scoti spoke a completely different dialect of the britonic language. (The Scoti being Irish Colonizers/Gaels in the region). The Picts did not speak the Gaelic language, thus making them not Gaels, although their culture was very similar to them. Scoti is a latin word, that basically became used by the lands south of Scotland to refer to originally the immediate land north of hadrians wall "scoti", and later all of Scotland, and much like the use of "indian" for "native American" the more outsiders said it the more the Gaels of the land we now call scotland latched onto the name to be their own identity. Until then they did not use this name to describe themselves, indeed the name Scoti for the romans didn't just apply to Scotland, but also bits of Ireland where the Scoti were from. So technically the answer to this question is yes and no. The word Scoti comes from a word for the Gaelic Tribe the Scoti, who not only spoke a different language to the Picts, but also had a slightly different culture. However, at the same the Picts were the dominant power in the region. As the lands gradually merged into the Kingdom of Alba they were beginning to call themselves Scoti due to the word constantly being used to by outsiders to describe these people. (that was a lot of effort and research lol)

Scotland did not exist as Scotland till the 8th century previously Scotland was called Caledonia or Alba by the Romans so why do you use Scotland is beyond belief.

[@lizysr]

Alba is just Gaelic for Kingdom of Scotland between 900-1286. It‘s still Scotland, he‘s not wrong.
