Skotland

Skotland is the Old Norse-style name used here for Scotland. It is more fitting for Viking-age campaign navigation than the older classical name Caledonia.

In play, Skotland can mean the mainland lands south of Hjaltland and Orkneyjar: coastal settlements, Pictish and Gaelic territories, Norse-Gael contact zones, church sites, hill forts, sea roads, and dangerous inland travel.

  • Type: Kingdom / mainland region.
  • Region: Scotland / Alba.
  • Campaign status: Available future location.

The party has not yet visited Skotland in the recorded campaign. Keep it available for mainland politics, raiding consequences, Christian monasteries, Norse-Gael alliances, overland journeys, or rumors from the southern seas.

  • Confidence: medium-high for Skotland as the practical Norse-facing page title.
  • Alba is also historically important as a Gaelic name, but this page uses the Norse-facing label for campaign consistency.
  • No current adventure placement has been recorded.
