The different tribes and peoples who lived in different areas of The British Isles during the times of the Roman Invasion had a range of cultural and linguistic differences. Ptolemny's map and tribal list seems to be borne out by History and fairly believable. Many names and features continue with us to this day.
Similarly, the different peoples who made up the four kingdoms which united into Scotland in 843 under Kenneth McAlpin had different languages, traditions and cultures. The Norse ruled Western Isles were returned to Scottish rule in 1266.

Today I'm not sure whether we are so civilised or really integrated.

I agree when one looks at maps of regions countys etc it almost relflects past tribes we are one nation but individual customs and identies remain. Scotland for me has always had a bit of a north south divide even though picts and celts united so long ago. I guess in battle we are one but day to day we retain our individual identity what ever that may be.
