and the native Scots weren't Scots. But the Scots were the Irish Gaels while the actual native Scots were the Picts.

They blend with the Scotii to became Scotish.

Turned into the Fae folk. After the Irish came over, their time was up and they were transformed into fairies.

Neanderthals?
Scot is an old Roman term for Irish. The Irish Gaels settled in Western Scotland while the Picts were generally concentrated in the east. Then around the Viking era the two cultures merged into one under the kingdom of Alba, with Gaelic culture generally coming out on top. About the same time the Gaels in Scotland formed a separate from the Irish (whereas previously the Gaels in Ireland and Scotland had never seen each other as separate people), and the name Scot began to refer to them exclusively. Then over the years the two cultures gradually drifted apart even more.
Or something like that.

Yes but it means much less than you think, it's just a change of ruling class and name, the majority of the population stayed the same

Both the Gaels and Picts were genetically almost identical anyway.

Just how much different are Scottish and Irish apart from religion? Isn't Scots Gaeltacht how the Irish nationalists were able to reconstruct their language besides the western fringes in their island?

Not very different at all, though there are some pretty important ones.

No, standard Irish is based off of Classical Gaelic, which was spoken in both countries, mixed with certain elements of the three main dialects. Standard Irish a shit though. Scottish Gaelic is intelligible to a certain degree though conversation is slow and awkward. Ulster Irish is close to western dialects of Scottish Gaelic and communication is much easier between these dialects than the standards of both languages.
