Ok I'll bite. Long before the vikings there were the Picts in Scotland and the Gaels in Ireland. The Gaels migrated to Scotland and interbred with the Picts and became the Scots. Actually the Norse ended up in Scotland, Ireland, England, and just about everywhere else. Arguably there were more vikings in the lowlands. But basically the Scottish people share a lot of common ancestry with the Irish.
In the overall order, long before the Vikings/Danes, A few Britons were thrown in to the mix, then the Romans came, then the Angles, then the vikings, then the Normans.
By the way the kilts worn today are a relatively modern invention. They really only became popular in the 17th and 18th century.
