In the North of Scotland the Celts biggest enemies were the Picts, who reined Scotland before the Celts. The Picts were the rulers of Scotland and then the Celts started to dominate them. After a period of time the Celts became the dominant culture of Scotland. The civilization that kept records of the Celts wars and battles were the Romans (Maybe because the Celts impressed the Romans with their powerful appearance).
