The Picts were a tribal confederation of peoples who lived in what is today eastern and northern Scotland during the Late Iron Age and Early Medieval periods. They are thought to have been ethnolinguistically Celtic. Where they lived and what their culture was like can be inferred from the geographical distribution of brochs, Brittonic place name elements, and Pictish stones. Picts are attested to in written records from before the Roman conquest of Britain to the 10th century, when they are thought to have merged with the Gaels. They lived to the north of the rivers Forth and Clyde, and spoke the now-extinct Pictish language, which is thought to have been related to the Brittonic language spoken by the Britons who lived to the south of them.
Picts are assumed to have been the descendants of the Caledonii and other tribes that were mentioned by Roman historians or on the world map of Ptolemy. Pictland, also called Pictavia by some sources, gradually merged with the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata to form the Kingdom of Alba (Scotland). Alba then expanded, absorbing the Brittonic kingdom of Strathclyde and Bernician Lothian, and by the 11th century the Pictish identity had been subsumed into the "Scots" amalgamation of peoples.

Ohhhhhhhhh
There is no short cut to a dream
But I am not afraid I'll take it all the way
I'm gunna give more than it takes
Work harder than the rest till I'm the very best
Ohh you think youv'e got it all figured out
You think ur so damn cool what's that all about
But I've got mime just watch this space
And you just wait
Hold up a mirror you should see yourself
You think your so much better than everybody else
But I've got time just watch this space
And you just wait
There's something deep inside my heart
Burns with a thousands flies
So relentess my desire
I see a future shine so bright
Beyond the finish line
I'm gunna make it mine
Ohh you think youv'e got it all figured out
You think ur so damn special what's that all about
But I've got mime yh watch this space
And you just wait
Hold up a mirror you should see yourself
You think that you wont stumble like everybody else
But I got time just watch this space
And you just wait
You bring your best
I'll be one step ahead
Your tears will fall
You'll be falling instead
Ohhhh you just wait
I'm not afraid
And I'm not backing down
Shut up your eyes
And it's coming around
Ohhhh you just wait
