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
Argyle[?] (east gael) establishing the kingdom of
Dalriada. In time the name became applied to all the people of the northern part of Britain,
Scotland. It is not believed that any gaelic tribe called itself the Scotti in ancient times.
