Excerpt from The Family of Thomas Scott and Martha Swan Scott: A Century in America, 1856-1956, A Sketch by a GrandsonScot is a Gaelic word used in Ireland where it meant rover or wanderer, possibly referring to sea-rovers arriving there from the Iberian peninsula before the Christian Era. In Scotland, Scot meant Gael, - one of the Gaelic-speaking Celtic people that immigrated from north Ireland from the Fifth Century a.d. Onward, settled along the west coast of Caledonia and pushed inland, subduing and joining the native Picts and various groups arriving from the Continent. From these Scots the name Scotland was taken about the Twelfth Century. We shall later see many of their descendants, including the forebears of Thomas Scott, moving back to Northern Ireland in the Seventeenth Century.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
