and just so everyone knows, Scot actually means Irish Raider. Scotland essentially means Irish Raider Land. im_very_kindThat's one thought for the name....though I've seen it translated to a few different meanings.

And you should also know that Ireland as u know it was not civilised and certainly wasn't known as Ireland back then thus ur initial statement is false "the irish that settled there" should be "the scotti tribe that settled there."

No...that would be incorrect as well. Ireland came from an Anglo Saxionization, ie Old English, of the Celtic name for Ireland,. Scotti was a name to describe the people...but was not a tribe name. :roll:

It is correct.....research the celtic names for the various countries....Scotland was created from the same bloodline that exists in Ireland.Â

...I meant their accent. It's pretty hardcore...*sigh* That's not what I said.....actually it was a loose confederation of some Celtic and some Pictish tribes. However, Scotland is named after the Irish celts that settled there. FYI...the Gaelic spoken in Scotland was from the gaelic spoken in Ireland. The rest of the island spoke Brythonic....not Goedelic. But of course, the Irish didn't influence Scotland at all.Oh, how stupid of me I forgot Scotland was a barren wasteland until the Irish arrived at which point life flourished and their was peace throughout the land. You lose:wink:

And Steeve....the name for Ireland was Eire....from which Ireland came in English.:wink:

I'm talking about the fact you called the people who settled in Scotland the "Irish." Ireland didn't exist. England didnt even exist! It was the Dark Ages!

All you are doing is quibbling over the English name for the island. Ireland existed...under a different name. The people were the same....the language wasn't English as the Anglo Saxons hadn't taken over England yet. But Celts were on both islands....and some on the smaller of the islands (present day Ireland) settled in what is present day Scotland. Same bloodline. The name Ireland was derived from the Celt name...you know.:|
It's not incorrect to say the Irish settled in Scotland as that is more understandable than Dalraidians. Same people though.

It still is Eire to them. But the people of Ireland did not call themselves Irish nor were they known as Irish at the of settling in Scotland. Case closed.
steeeeeeveperry
It's also Ireland to them.  We say German...natives say Deutchland... Same people. Case closed.:wink:
Thanks for playing...try again.

The majority of Scot's really don't sound like that.
