True! My ancestors became Scots in the 12th century when they were granted land by Kind David after fighting with him in battle. They went to Scotland from Denmark, Wales, and were Norse Vikings. That’s as far back as I could trace them. None are there now. They are here with some being in Germany.

I believe before the 12th century, it was Picts and Celts in the country known as Scotland.

Right, but even the Celts and Picts weren’t there that far back in the stone age. They probably invaded Europe in the early Bronze Age, around the time the Greeks were invading Greece.
