Alba / modern Scotland was known as 'Caledonia' by the Romans. Then known as 'Scotia minor' as Ireland was Scotia major . Pictland or Scotland slowly became merged to 'Scotland' in the 700/800s to a certain Popes declaration too about the year 1000 AD, to disfranchise the Irish -Hibernian 'Scoti' monks who had been re christianizing Dark Age Europe.Over centuries it was was gradually colonized, partly conquered, by the original 'Scoti' (Irish) or Scots - tribes from Ulster under Dalriada and others. The original inhabitants of the NE Caledonia were the Picts. So Scotland has three main strands the Gaelic-Pictish merger of crowns and Celtic clans and some settling Danes / Norse from the Viking incursions.
