The ancestors of the Scottish people were the indigenous populations that lived in the British Isles as well as the Celtic tribes whose culture reached Scotland after the 8th century BC. The invasions of the Romans, the Germanic tribes, especially the Anglo-Saxons, and the Vikings all left their marks on Scotland before the Kingdom of Scotland was established in the 9th century.
The Scottish people have maintained a culture distinct from their English neighbors despite extended periods of political union. Scottish names are used by the millions of people with Scottish heritage in the U.K. and in other English-speaking countries.
