Scotti
Scotti was the generic name given by the
Romans to
Gaelic raiders from
Ireland. Some of them, from the Irish kingdom of Dál Riata in what is now
Ulster settled in
Argyll (Earra-GhÃÂÃÂ idheal, East Gaels) establishing the kingdom of
Dalriada. In time the name became applied to all the people within the regions successive generations conquered,
Scotland. It is not believed that any Gaelic tribe called itself the Scotti in ancient times.
