Where did the Scots originate?

Answer 1

No.

Before there was a country named Scotland most of the area was Pictland.

The Scots lived in the west of the country and also across the narrow waters in the north of Ireland.

The Picts did not use the usual way of passing on the leadership from father to son but through the female line, (usually the son of the kings' sister).

After many years a man from the Scots was made King over the Picts, (though not the far north), and after a while everyone took to speaking Scots Gaelic, (pronounced Gallic).

The people were still Picts but they gradually became Scots by the use of the new language. The Gaelic Scots who conquered the Picts certainly did come from Ireland. But thousands of years before that, every single Celt who lived in Ireland came from Scotland, and before that, Britain and the continent.

Answer 2

One theory is that they were an earlier form of Celt, others contend they were a hybridization of the beaker people and the earlier aboriginal peoples. Still others feel they came from Norway, which would account for their pale skin. Another theory is that they were the early "Chaldees" or Galat" of Eastern Asia Minor. Presently its believe that the Picts if from Scandinavia may have attempted to access what is now Ireland are were fought off aand moved to the highlands of what is now Scotland. Records from Roman history mentions Picti (Picts) which was to mean painted peoples
