    READ MORE: Saint Columba and the 'golden age' of ancient Dalriada For a start, we do not know what the Picts called themselves or their kingdom. The name Fortriu is actually Gaelic and derives from Verturiones, the name used by Roman writer and historian Ammianus Marcellinus to describe one of the tribes of the lands in the north of Scotland in the late fourth century.

    Picts

    The Picts were a group of peoples in what is now Scotland north of the Firth of Forth, in the Early Middle Ages. Where they lived and details of their culture can be gleaned from early medieval texts and Pictish stones. The name Picti appears in written records as an exonym from the late third century AD. They are assumed to have been descendants of the Caledonii and other northern Iron Age tribes. Their territory is referred to as "Pictland" by modern historians. Initially made up of several chiefdoms, it came to be dominated by the Pictish kingdom of Fortriu from the seventh century. During this Verturian hegemony, Picti was adopted as an endonym. This lasted around 160 years until the Pictish kingdom merged with that of Dál Riata to form the Kingdom of Alba, ruled by the House of Alpin. The concept of "Pictish kingship" continued for a few decades until it was abandoned during the reign of Caustantín mac Áeda. Wikipedia
