"The original use of the name, as used by Tacitus, Ptolemy, Lucan and Pliny the Elder, referred to the area (or parts of the area) also known as Pictavia or Pictland north of the Antonine Wall in today's Scotland.[1] The name may be related to that of a Pictish tribe, the Caledonii, one amongst several in the area, though perhaps the dominant tribe which would explain the binomial Caledonia/Caledonii. Their name can be found in Dùn Chailleann, the Scottish Gaelic word for the town of Dunkeld meaning "fort of the Caledonii", and in that of the mountain Sìdh Chailleann or Schiehallion, the "fairy [hill] of the Caledonians".

Scotland for once instead of Ireland?! Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! Even if it was only because of a singer... You were out of your mind for a little bit, hehe! :P
Well, I like Scotland ('though I never went there). But since you want to know, even the name Scotland is... well, more irish than scot.
