the Romans called " Picti " ( painted ) since most of the time they went to battle
completely naked to show their tattooed bodies. Customary also see among the
Scythians . Escoto has the same meaning of " painted " .
It really seems that the custom of painting was between all Scottish or Celtic
peoples were Picts , so it is difficult to discern who takes the habit from whom.
The Picts seem that formed a tribal confederation. They inherited their rights ,
property names and their mothers It was a cultured society that could afford to
employ all kinds of highly skilled craftsmen , particularly sculptors who left us a
wonderful legacy of carved stones . They imaginary of the Celtic cross ( were

Alnwick Castle is located in Northumberland ,
England, and is the residence of the duke of the
same name . It was built after the Norman Conquest
and has been renovated and remodeled several
times. Yves de Vescy , Baron of Alnwick, erected the
oldest part of the castle in 1096. It was built to
defend the northern border of England against
Scottish invasion. The castle was besieged in 1172
and again in 1174 by William the Lion, King of Ecocia
, which was finally caught outside its walls during
the Battle of Alnwick. In 1309 the castle was bought
by the Bishop of Durham Henry Percy , who
thereafter became Duke of Northumberland. The first
Lord Percy of Alnwick restored the castle and the
Torre del Abad. In 1404 the Percy rebelled against
Enrique IV , who besieged and took the castle.

The Kingdom of Scotland emerged in the year 840 by the union of the Scots clans (Celtic peoples from
Ireland) with the Picts (ancient inhabitants of the region). At the end of the thirteenth century the
English monarchy meddles in the internal squabbles of Scotland and try to dominate the country. The
legendary leader William Wallace defeated the English in 1297 (Battle of Stirling) and ensures
independence. Anyway, the British claims and therefore tensions between the two countries will persist
for centuries. After the death of Queen Elizabeth, the crown of England passed in 1603 at the hands of
his nearest relative, King James VI of Scotland. Since then, Scotland and England are two different but
with the same king nations. However, the sovereign will reside in London and the English hegemony
over Scotland will be growing. In 1707 with the so-called Act of Union, the United Kingdom of Great
Britain is founded; Scotland lose what remains of their autonomy and dissolves parliament. In 1715,
1719 and 1745 major armed uprisings against British rule led by the "Jacobites" (with lukewarm support
from France), supporters of James Stuart, pretender to the crown of Scotland are produced. After the
defeat, many Scottish nobles lose their properties and are replaced by English nobles, as well as
thousands of peasant families are displaced to marginal and unproductive areas. During the eighteenth
century Scottish crowds pushed by poverty they emigrate to America or are forced to join the army. In
fact, during the Napoleonic Wars, most British soldiers are Welsh, Irish and Scottish fundamentally. In
the late nineteenth century Scottish nationalism reborn, but charged greater vigor in the last decades of
the twentieth century after the social and economic effects of Thatcherite Conservative government. In
1998 Scotland gets some regional concessions and parliament is restored, albeit with limited scope.
