Scoti or Scotti (Ol Irish Scot, modern Scottish Gaelic Sgaothaich) was the generic name given by the Romans to the Celtic Gaels who raided from Ireland. Some of them, from the nascent Ulster Kingdom of Dál Riata, migrated to Argyll, the Inner Hebrides and Islands of the Clyde, extending Dál Riata. In time the name became applied to all the people within the regions this kingdom conquered, hence the modern words Scot and Scotland. It is not believed that any Gaelic groups called themselves Scoti in ancient times, except when referring to themselves in Latin.
