Scottish people are descended from a combination of Celts (Picts and Gaels) and Germanic Angles. Highland Scots are descended from Gaels who travelled across Scotland, England and France from Ireland during the time of the Roman Empire. Lowland Scots are descended from the Angles of Northumbria, who are Germanic in origin. The Kingdom of Scotland was founded on an amalgamation of Picts, Gaels, Cumbrians, and Angles.
