The Scots are Irish, although they hate to admit it. Came over through the Inner Hebrides and conquered the Picts. Their first king, MacAlpin, married a Pictish princess to seal the deal. And Uisce (Whisky) is the water of life.

You are correct. Recently saw a documentary - I think on Acorn about Roman Britain - which stated that the northern region of Britain had been settled by people from Ireland. The Romans called those Irish settlers, Scotti.
