Summary/Abstract: During the first Christian millennium, the land of Scotland inhabited by Picts and Scots, was the scene of several invasions and internal struggles, but also of the Christianization work, started by some locals and missionaries sent by the pope or the surrounding nations. Names like St. Ninian, St. Columba, St. Kentigern and others are the pillars on which the right faith has been based in the first centuries in Scotland. These will be the ones who help, at the turn of the 2nd and 3rd millennium, their descendants who went through the hardships of breaking with the Church of Christ, to slowly return to the right faith.
