or perhaps they thought of themselves as the same people ... this is an interesting link .... http://www.abdn.ac.uk/mediareleases/archive/1999/pr415.hti ....

remember that the earls of Orkney were powerful enough to be summoned to pay tribute before Caesar Claudius at Colchester.

or plague and disease may have weakened the inhabitants...

now you're talking! this is my pet theory, that they thought of themselves certainly as similar. there are so many parallels between the Picts and the Vikings that I believe they must have had common ancestry. I know we all have common ancestry if you go back far enough, but I mean relatively recent
