Scotland
Scotland was founded circa 500 AD. A small band of migrants was lead by the three sons of Erc (son of Eochaidh). The sons were Angus, Fergus, and Loarn. They were of the race of Conaire, the royal dynasty of Munster in Ireland. The three brothers and their 150 followers founded the kingdom of Dalriada, that was named after the Irish region of Dalriada from which they came, and this kingdom is now part of the County Antrim. Legend tells use that the family of Angus settled in Islay. The family of Fergus settled in Knapdale and Kintyre. While the family of Loarn settled in the northern section of Argyll. Irish monasteries were founded in western Scotland, most notably St. Columba's monastery, which was set up in 563 on the island of Iona. Iona later became the burial place of kings.
