The original inhabitants of Southern Scotland were from the Scotti tribe who came from Ireland and Scotland is named after them. The original inhabitants of Northern Scotland were the Picts but no one is absolutely sure where they came from.

The Scots are a Celtic ethnic group who originated from Ireland and migrated to what is now Scotland in the 5th century AD, mixing with the existing Pictish population. This migration established the kingdom of Dál Riata in western Scotland, which eventually merged with the Pictish kingdom to form the Kingdom of Alba, the precursor to modern Scotland.
