As it stands, the Romans were in what is now Scotland centuries before the Scots got there. The Scots cowered in fear in what is now Ireland, not daring to set foot in Caledonia until after the Romans left Britain.

LOL — I take it you’re a fan of the Roman Empire.
I think the Scotti were just another Irish tribe in Roman times.
I made a factual statement, if that's fandom, I guess I'm a fan. I've got Scottish ancestry (also Scandinavian, as the Vikings swarmed all the British isles, including the outer islands -- again before the Scots got there), and as the old joke goes, a Scot is locked in a lifelong struggle with the sworn enemy, other Scots. :^) Some nitwit always brings up how the completely absent Scots did this or that and always beat the Romans, and it's total rubbish. I wanted to get the jump on 'em, and of course needle their tiny little etc.
