Con't, When confronted and challenged, Irish Romanist historians will tell you they are using what they call "poetic licence" "swapping the ancient Scot name for the 16th century Papist name Irish".
So 'Irish' exists only in name and all it means is 'Roman Catholic'. Similar to how the Jews call their subjects 'Gentiles'.
Irish Romanists are simply trying to impose the Papist name Irish on the Scots by re-writing history and telling you that Scot was a Latin word for Irish, which is false.
@ScotiExile, Re-read what I've already typed, 'Scot' and 'Gael' were synonymous terms until the 16th century, 'Gael' had nothing to do with the 'Irish', as Irish is a 16th century papist name imposed upon all the different peoples of Hibernia by Pope Leo X in the 16th century.
It was only after the 16th century that the terms of 'Gael' and 'Irish' got mixed up.
The DNA studies which have been carried out in Scotland show an ancient story. Most people being descendants of the original hunter gatherers who arrived here after the last ice age. But a few people (especially in the western islands) being descendants of farmers from the eastern Mediterranean who arrived during more recent neolithic times. However they were indigenous and more related to the Picts than the Irish, they certainly didn't come from Ireland.
@Calengela BS. The existence of this kingdom shows otherwise. Those "original hunter-gatherers" were the Gaels. And if people in the west have something in common genetically with mediterranean farmers, you still don't know who came from who. The Picts spoke Brythonic, a Celtic tongue. The history of Scotland tells the story of a Gaelic people. Read the Carmina Gadelica before you discount this.
@12hiddendragons Yankman, do not tell me what is BS about my own country, 'Gael' and 'Scot' were synonymous words up until the 16th century, Dál Riata was a Scottish Kingdom that was always indigenous to Caledonia/Scotland, alongside Alba.
The Picts were from the same source as Scots, hence they were simply earlier Scots in all but name.
The word 'Scot' is an ancient word derived from 'Scythia', Scot/Scyt being synonymous terms both collectively called 'Scutten' in old German.
@12hiddendragons 'Irish' - 16th century Papist name imposed upon all the different peoples of Hibernia/Ireland by Pope Leo X who told the Hiberni (real Irish) that they were lying when they claimed to be Scots and entered a fraudulent claim.
This new 16th century Papist name 'Irish', only later became associated with the word 'Gael', in historical reality prior to the 16th century, 'Gael' only ever applied to the Scots.
S.Patrick - Apostle of Scots, noted the Scots and Irish as very different.

Scotland's royal dynasties were Gaelic, descendants of the Irish.
