Great Britain: Republic or Monarchy?

[Prodigal]

The Kings of the Scots of Dalriada had a claim on the throne of the Picts, wince King Kenneth MacAlpin being the Grandson of a Pictish King. He just enforced his claim by eradicating the Pictish Army.

But considering the picts followed a matrilinear line, being the grandson seems a bit dodgy. Also the fact that the only historical line of the pictsh kings was written by people that you could consider as being enemies of the picts means its not possible to say how accurate it is. Personally I think that Oengus, by uniting picts & scotii really was the one to blur the lines between the two distinct groups.

The people of South-West modern Scotland were British people, i.e. almost Welsh. In Wallace's time this land had been part of Scotland for almost 3 centuries, he was Scottish, I assure you

Yeah, but its far to good a wind up to let pass.

I don't quite see your point, no...
King James VI & I was directly descended from King Kenneth MacAlpin, who was from both Pictish and Scottish stock.

Exactly! You see! The scottish-pict king's, (and considering the pictish language has been lost would kind of lean toward the MORE scot than pict), invited down south to rule over a bunch of frenchified germans. (I appreciate the recet DNA tests that have been done don't support the genocide theory of invasion, but what the hell)
