In modern times, 'Celtic' people are Irish, Scottish highlanders, Manx, Welsh, Bretons and Cornish.

Those are the only regions where Celtic languages are still spoken.

In 1603, on the death of Elizabeth I (of England) King James VI of Scotland also became King James I of England. It was a personal union only - that is, England and Scotland had the same monarch but were still separate and independent countries. James I did soon call himself 'King of Great Britain' (for example on coins), but this referred to a geographical country only, not to a political entity. He also had the flags of England and Scotland combined for use by warships only, but the new flag wasn't popular, and there is some doubt as to whether it was used much. The political union - the establishment of the United Kingdom of Great Britain - dates from 1707.

Giant jelly fish, believe it or not thousands of jellyfish measuring up to half a metre in length have been found on beaches in Scotland, thanks to the recent rise in sea temperatures which are currently two degrees above normal. Specimens are growing to their full growth potential. "The hot summer weather has also fuelled the growth of the lion's mane jellyfish, the largest to visit UK shores. The tentacles of the lion's mane jellyfish, which is easily identified by its ragged edges, carry a nasty sting which can leave unsuspecting swimmers in pain for hours."

The 'Scots' can refer to various things through Scottish history.

Originally what is now Scotland was occupied by the Picts, a Northern Celtic people, similar to the Brythonic Celts (Britons) in what is now England & Wales. The Roman empire never managed to subdue the Picts so they became culturally very different from the southern Romanized-Celts.

In the 6th Century another group of Celts, the Gaels, who had settled in Ireland spread across the Hebrides to western Scotland creating the Kingdom of Dál Riata. The tribes where known as 'Scotti' which meant raiders. Ireland was known in Latin as Hibernia or Scotia Major and Scotland was known as Caledonia or Scotia Minor.

At this point in time Scot or Scotti simply referred to all of those who where ethnically Celtic-Gaels within Scotland, Ireland and Mann. Although they would never have refered to themselves as Scots.

A fusion of Dál Riata and the Pictish Kingdoms in 843AD created the Kingdom of Alba (Scotland) but still the term Scots would refer to both Scots & Irish. The Pictish culture was lost and all within Alba spoke Gaelic. It wasn't until the 16th Century that Scotia was confined to refering to Scotland at this point Scots would refer only to those living in Scotland who would be of Gaelic, Pictish & Brythonic (Celtic) decent.

It's also interesting to note that the language 'Scots' came from a different origin. In the 7th - 13th centuries the Germanic and Celtic languages of lowland Scotland evolved between the Strathclyde (Brythonic) and Lothian (Angle). Similar to Old English due to it's Angle influence. This Language became known as Scots but formally Gaelic of the Scottish Highlands was known as Scots.

So in the present day The Scots are the distinct people of the country of Scotland upon the Island of Great Britain.

The distance is about 3,200 miles - at an *average speed of 60 mph, that translates to about 53 hours (2 full days + 5 hours) driving time.
