I thought the word Scot was an ancient word for raiders from Ireland or something like that. Is this about the daughter of Pharoah on the up and up? Scots are descendants of Egyptians? Where did you get that from? You’ve got me wondering about my own heritage.

The researchers do not think the Egyptians influenced the Scots, but that mummification arose independently in the two regions.

Well, the legend itself arose in Ireland, so there could be some element of truth to them both. Google "Milesian Legends." Milesius married one daughter of Pharoah, and Nel married another, named Scota (or Scotia in some manuscripts).
