Scottic Kingdoms

The Scottish kingdoms were early political entities in what is now Scotland, formed during the medieval period. They included kingdoms like Dalriada, Strathclyde, the Picts, and Alba (later Scotland), each with its own rulers and customs. Over time, these kingdoms merged or were unified through alliances and conquests, shaping the development of a unified Scottish nation. Their histories reflect a complex tapestry of culture, warfare, and diplomacy, laying the foundation for modern Scotland’s identity and borders.
