Kings of Scotland

The Kings of Scotland were rulers who held authority over Scotland from ancient times until the country unified with England in 1707. They originated from various clans and noble families, each reigning over different regions before gradually centralizing power. Notable kings, like Malcolm III and Robert the Bruce, played key roles in shaping Scottish identity and independence. The monarchy's influence evolved through battles, alliances, and political shifts, culminating in the creation of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Today, though the monarchy is largely ceremonial, the history of Scottish kings remains central to Scotland’s cultural heritage and national history.
