Soil is made partly from weathered rock, partly from plant remains--and also contains many living organisms. Benchmark 4C The Physical Setting: Processes that Shape the Earth Grades 6-8, page 73
The Celts (/ËkÉlts/ , occasionally /ËsÉlts/ , see pronunciation of Celtic) were people in Iron Age and Medieval Europe who spoke Celtic languages and had cultural similarities, although the relationship between ethnic, linguistic and cultural factors in the Celtic world remains uncertain and controversial.
The Scottish people (Scots: Scots Fowk, Scottish Gaelic: Albannaich), or Scots, are a nation and ethnic group native to Scotland. Historically, they emerged from an amalgamation of two Celtic peoplesâthe Picts and Gaels âwho founded the Kingdom of Scotland (or Alba) in the 9th century.Later, the neighbouring Cumbrian Celts, as well as Germanic Anglo-Saxons and Norse, were incorporated into the Scottish nation.he Gaels, the Picts and the Britons had respective origin myths, like most Middle Ages European peoples. Germanic peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxons, arrived beginning in the 7th century, while the Norse settled many regions of Scotland from the 8th century onwards.
