^The earliest evidence of Scottish civilization dates back to 3500 BC, in the Orkneys. The site of Scotlands capital,
Edinburgh, was itself first inhabited at about 1000 BC, making it one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in northern
Europe today. At that point, Scotland was inhabited by a tribe known as the Picts. When the Romans invaded in 80 AD, the
Picts went into battle, uniting under Calgacus. Though he was defeated, the Romans were never able to occupy Scotland, and
by 122 AD, the Romans themselves flung up Hadrians Wall just to keep out these fearsome warriors. By the late 4th Century
AD, the Picts had joined up with a bunch from Ireland known as the Scots, and they soon together launched invasions of Roman
Britannia. After the Romans left in the late 300s, the Scots and the Picts settled down to do some inter-tribal warring.
This conflict was finally brought to a close when the High King of Dal Riata, Kenneth MacAlpin, finally united Scotland in
843 AD. Kenneths descendents kept up his empire-building attitude, only to be defeated in battle at Brunanburgh during a
Scottish invasion. Scotland proceeds to develop in to a strong medieval kingdom with great kings such as Malcolm Canmore,
David, Constantine and Alexander, frequently occupied with slave raids into England
^    In 1286 AD, Scotland again entered the worlds stage. The Scots came together to choose a new High King, but they
seem to have had quite a tough time doing so, so much so that they called in the King of England, Edward I to settle the
issue. Edward chose for them John Balliol (after Balliol informed Edward that hed be forever in his service). Unfortunately
for Scotland, Balliol had a short memory, allying with Edwards enemies. Enraged, Edward, invaded Scotland, booting out
Balliol, carrying off the Sacred Stone of Scone, and declaring himself master of the kingdom. A few Scots were a bit peeved

by the idea, William Wallace and Robert Bruce being the most famous. After Wallace was defeated and executed, Bruce took
over, being crowned King. In 1314, Robert Bruce destroyed an English army under Edwards son. Then, he truly unified
Scotland as a whole. The next couple of centuries served as a period of unification and improvement of Scotland by its
kings. Things changed in 1603, when James VI of Scotland became James I of England.James moved his capital from Edinburgh to London. 
In 1707, Scotland was politically annexed by England, but retained much civic independence. However, in 1745, when the grandson of the 
last Stuart king, Charles Stuart (known better as Bonnie Prince Charlie), returned to
Scotland in order to launch an invasion of England and restore the Stewart order and Scottish independence. Despite initial successes, the Jacobites,
as Charlies followers were known, were forced to retreat back to Scotland, and were finally defeated at Culloden. From
that time on, Scotland played a major role(under British rule) in the Industrial Revolution, producing some of the great
minds of the time,like David Hume and Adam Smith. Edinburgh especially, became important, as the center of the European 
Enlightenment. Scotland's tradition nevertheless decline, especially the native languages. In 1997, Scotland finally got itself the
freedom to convene its own parliament at Edinburgh.
