The area now known as Scotland was first inhabited around 14,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age. (There may have been earlier inhabitants, but if so they left no trace.) It truly became Scotland, the land of the Scots, with the arrival of the Scoti or Scotti, Gaelic-speaking raiders from Ireland, in the fifth century A.D. Prior to that time the land was inhabited by Picts and Britons and known (at least to the Romans) as Caledonia.

Scotland is not a 'British Territory'. It is a country within the United Kingdom. Just as England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland has always been part of the British Isles, we're talking geography, not politics, at least that's how I understood the question. Yeah, fair enough.
