Scotland has never been conqued. The Romans, the Norse, and the English all tried, and couldn't do it(But in 1707 Scotland united with England). And the Irish have been conqued by the English. With the Anglo-saxon, norman, norse, english, and even roman influence, what culture do they have? The Irish(Scoti) that came to Alba(Scotland) united with the Picts to form Scotland. And Scotland has retained their Celtic heritage ever since. And I believe the Irish have addopted Scottish culture.

It would be hard for the Irish to steal Scottish culture since Irish and Scottish people are the same people. As you say the Scotti are the Irish, who migrated to Scotland after the fall of Roman Britain (in 430s). They brought with them their language, which is a Q-Celtic language, while the Picts seem to have spoken a P-Celtic language (similar to Welsh, Cornish and Breton). The Scots were invaded and the lower part conquered by the English (hence Scots language as opposed to Gaelic) as portrayed in the movie about William Wallace! The Scots united with the English in 1603 when James VI became James I of England (because his grandmother was a Tudor). The 1707 unification was of the parliaments, not the kings. If you are using 1707, then Ireland was not conquered until 1801 when it's parliament united with Britain. There was English conquest of parts of Ireland (hence Hiberno-English the Irish equivalent of Scots and different from the native language Gaelic). The English conquest didn't expand beyond the Viking areas (ie cities) until the reign of Elizabeth I and James I. Irish culture remained relatively unchanged; language kept alive, music and sports. The similarity with Scotland is because they are the same people, the differences are because of the division forced by the physical barrier of the sea and the forced division encouraged by the pro-English Scottish nobility.

Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Normandy, Brittany, Norway, Denmark, Sweden composed the Great Britain within the days of King Canute. Dublin used to be based and developed through the Danes across the mid 900s. In reality it might be an inspiration to reconstitute historical Albion (Great Britain) once more and go away the EU. Remember that on Thursday while You are meant to vote to hold to provide Europe forty million Pounds in step with Day. We might do plenty spending that so much on ourselves. We might invite our brothers in New Zealand and Australia and Canada to mix once more an empire of equals and fail to remember Europe. They are cheating, pricey and drawback.
