- Abstract:
- The title is a terrible editorial imposition. This article argues that the term 'Scotland' though not attested before the late ninth-century (for Ireland) and the early tenth (for Alba) was probably already in use as the Northumbrian English term for Dál Riata in the time of Bede and certainly by the beginning of the Viking Age.
