The Blacksmith's tale about Scotland (Pictland)

[segano1]

Pictland was the dominant kingdom of Scotland before the unification,

the Picts were just what the Romans called the early Scots, (Picti meant 'Painted People' in reference to the blue woad tattoes Scots wore in battle)

Picts were the early Scots, a different name, but the same people.

'Scotti' was a Latin word that meant 'Gaelic speakers', this is how 'Pictland' became 'Scotland', due to the influence of Gaelic culture, particularly the launguage
