Two national identities had established themselves by the end of the 11th century in, respectively, the north and south of Britain. The larger southern nation made several attempts on the independence of the smaller and more dynastically-troubled northern state but, after the time of Edward I of England, Scotland held its own. Then in 1603, with the accession of James VI of Scotland to the English throne, an incorporating union seemed to be in prospect, but more than a century passed before a lasting parliamentary union was achieved amid a flurry of intrigue, corruption and power-broking.

Excerpt from The Connection Between England and Scotland At the time of the conversion of England (597), the date at which the authentic history of England begins, we find four nations occupying this island - the Picts, Scots, Britons, and English, each speaking their own language. The very names of England and Scotland were then unknown; nor were all the elements from which the two great kingdoms were to be formed as yet present on the soil. But then, as now, two nationalities - the Keltic and the Teutonic - divided the land between them, though in a distribution widely different from that of to-day. The Picts, Scots, and Britons were Kelts; the English were Teutons. The Picts. - The Picts were the descendants of those wild tribes of the North whom the Romans called the Caledonians. They probably belonged to the Gaelic branch of the Keltic family. In the time of Agricola they possessed not only all Scotland north of the Firths of Clyde and Forth, but a great part of the north of Ireland. Their national name was Cruithnigh; but they received the name of Picts from the Romans because they tattooed their bodies.
